How to Make Money Online With Google Trends, ChatGPT & Faceless News Videos

If you want to make money online using Google and AI tools without showing your face, one of the easiest models is starting a faceless news-style YouTube channel.

The basic idea is simple:

1. Use Google Trends to find topics that are already going viral
2. Turn those trending news stories into unique scripts using ChatGPT
3. Convert the script into AI voiceover using a text-to-speech tool
4. Add relevant images and videos, then edit everything inside CapCut
5. Upload multiple short videos per day and work toward YouTube monetization

Let’s break it down step by step.

Step 1: Use Google Trends to Find Viral Topics

First, you need topics that people are already searching for.

1. Open a new browser tab and search for “Google Trends”.
2. Click the first result to open the official Google Trends website.
3. At the top, you’ll see a country selector (for example, your current country).
• Click it and select any country you want to target.
• In your example, you chose United States, but you can pick your own.
4. Next, click on “Trending now”.
• Here you’ll see what people are searching for in the last:
• 24 hours
• 48 hours
• 7 days

For this method, keep it on “Past 24 hours” so you’re working with fresh trends.

Sort by Search Volume

By default, Google Trends may show trending topics sorted by relevance.

1. Click on the dropdown that says “By relevance”.
2. Change it to “By search volume”.

Now topics are ranked by how many people are searching for them.

For example:

• A topic with 5 million searches will appear above
• Topics with 200k searches, etc.

This helps you prioritize high-demand topics.

Pick a Trending Topic

Now just scroll through the list and choose a topic you find:

• Interesting
• Easy to understand
• Suitable for a news-style video

In your example, you clicked on a trending search term like “Randy Travis”.

Click the topic and you’ll be taken to a detailed page about that search.

---

Step 2: Find Source Articles About the Topic

On the topic page in Google Trends:

1. Scroll down to the section labeled “In the news”.
2. You’ll see news articles related to that search term.
3. Click on any article that looks relevant and clear.

You’ll now be on a news article page about your chosen topic.

⚠️ Important:
Don’t just copy the article word-for-word. Use it as source material and create your own unique version using AI. This reduces copyright issues and makes your content more original.

Step 3: Turn the Article Into a Script With ChatGPT

Now we’ll let ChatGPT help us write a news-style script.

1. Copy the URL of the article you opened.
2. Open ChatGPT in a new tab.
3. Use a prompt like:

“Write a YouTube news-style script using the information from this link. Make it original, clear and concise:
[paste the article link here]”

4. Let ChatGPT generate the script.
5. If it gives you multiple versions, just pick one you like.
6. Read through the script:
• Remove any unnecessary references like “According to…” or AI disclaimers
• Make sure the facts are accurate
• Tweak the tone if needed

Now you have your video script ready.

Step 4: Convert the Script Into Audio (Text-to-Speech)

Now you want to turn your script into a voiceover.

You mentioned two tools:

• 11Labs – Paid, very high quality
• Clipchamp – Free, very good for beginners

Let’s walk through Clipchamp since it’s free.

Using Clipchamp for Text-to-Speech

1. Search for “Clipchamp” on Google and open the first result.
2. Sign up or log in to your account.
3. On the dashboard, click “Create a new video”.
4. You’ll enter the video editor.

Now:

1. Click “Record & create”.
2. Select “Text to speech”.
3. A panel will open—if not, click the Text to speech option on the left.
4. In the text box, paste your script.
• If ChatGPT included extra notes or duplicate sections, paste your script cleanly, section by section if needed.
5. Under Language, select “English (United States)” (or your preferred language).
6. Choose a voice from the dropdown.
7. Click “Preview” to hear how it sounds.
• If it sounds good, click “Save”.

Clipchamp will generate a video file with audio, since it’s a video editor.

Next:

1. Click “Export” and choose a resolution (480p is enough since we only need the audio).
2. Download the video file to your device.

Later, we’ll extract the audio in CapCut.

Step 5: Collect Images & Videos Related to the Topic

Now you need visuals for your video: images and related clips.

⚠️ Very Important:
Be careful with copyright. Don’t just reuse entire YouTube or TikTok videos without permission. Ideally:

• Use royalty-free stock (like Pexels, Pixabay, etc.), or
• Use short, transformative clips and add overlays, commentary, and editing
• Always respect platform and local copyright rules

From the Original Article

Most news articles contain:

• A main image
• Sometimes an embedded video

You can:

1. Right-click on the main image related to the story.
2. Save it to your computer.
3. Scroll down and save other relevant images (not ads).

From YouTube

You can also search YouTube using the article’s title:

1. Open YouTube.
2. Paste the article title in the search bar.
3. Look for:
• News coverage
• Interviews
• Background footage (e.g., stadiums, cities, events)

Only download and use content you have the right to use:

• Your own footage
• Royalty-free footage
• Licensed or stock content

From TikTok (Optional, Be Careful)

You mentioned searching TikTok to find:

• POV-style clips (people watching the news, reacting, etc.)

These can make your video look more personal and dynamic, but downloading and reusing TikTok content can violate copyright and their terms, unless you have permission or it’s clearly allowed.

If you still explore this route, always:

• Check usage rights
• Use tools like “TikTok downloader” at your own responsibility

Step 6: Edit Everything Together in CapCut

Now it’s time to assemble the video.

We’ll use CapCut because:

• It’s free (with optional paid version)
• Very beginner-friendly
• Great for YouTube videos

Import Your Files

1. Open CapCut on your computer.
2. Create a new project.
3. Import:
• The Clipchamp video (with your AI voiceover)
• All your images
• Any clip footage you’re allowed to use

Extract the Audio

1. Drag the Clipchamp video onto the timeline.
2. Right-click on it and select “Extract audio” or similar.
3. This separates your audio track from the blank video.
4. Select the video layer (black background) and delete it.
5. You’re left with the clean audio voiceover on the timeline.

If the audio volume is too low:

1. Click the audio track.
2. Increase the volume by about 10% or more as needed.

Add Images & Videos

Now:

1. Drag your images and video clips onto the timeline above the audio.
2. Arrange them to roughly match what’s being said in the voiceover.
3. You don’t need a strict order—just make sure it feels visually connected to the story.

Fix Vertical Clips (TikTok-Style Footage)

If some videos or images are vertical (9:16):

1. Click on the clip.
2. Set the project ratio to 16:9 (YouTube standard).
3. Click on Canvas → Blur.
4. Choose the second blur style, so:
• The vertical video is centered
• The blurred version fills the sides

This makes vertical content look much better on YouTube.

Mute Background Video Audio

If your video clips have sound:

1. Either mute each clip by dragging volume to zero, or
2. Use the “Mute track” option on the track with your video clips

You only want the AI voiceover as your main audio.

Transitions (Optional)

You can add transitions between clips, but for this type of news content, simple cuts are usually enough.

When everything looks good:

• Play through the video once
• Make sure audio is clear
• Visuals change often enough to keep attention

Step 7: Upload to YouTube as a News Channel

Now you’re ready to publish.

1. Create a new YouTube channel (or use an existing one).
2. Brand it as a news-style channel:
• Cover trending events
• Focus on voiceover + visuals, not your face

How You Make Money

YouTube pays you through AdSense once you meet the monetization requirements (like watch hours + subscriber count).

Note: Longer videos (8+ minutes) can show more ads, but in a news niche, many videos may be 30–60 seconds or a few minutes.

So how do you compensate?

Post Multiple Videos Per Day

Since each video is short:

• Aim to upload 10–15 videos per day
• Use the same process:
• Go back to Google Trends
• Choose another top search term
• Repeat the entire pipeline:
• Article → Script → Audio → Visuals → Edit → Upload

Over time:

• You build a library of trending news videos
• Your watch time and views can grow
• You move closer to monetization

Important Notes & Warnings

• Don’t copy full articles word-for-word.
  Always generate a unique script using AI and your edits.
• Be careful with copyrighted footage from TikTok and YouTube.
  Use stock, royalty-free, or your own content wherever possible.
• Double-check facts before publishing.
  You’re dealing with news, so accuracy matters.
• YouTube has policies around reused content.
  Make sure your videos are transformative (new voiceover, editing, formatting, visuals).

Final Thoughts

This method lets you:

• Use Google Trends to find what people already care about
• Leverage AI tools like ChatGPT and Clipchamp
• Use CapCut to put everything together into a video
• Build a faceless news channel that can eventually be monetized

It takes work and consistency, especially if you’re posting 10–15 videos a day—but it’s a realistic, structured way to start making money online using Google and AI.
