Why Outsourcing Works for Faceless Channels
Faceless YouTube channels are already easier to produce than on‑camera content, but outsourcing takes it to another level. Instead of spending hours on every step — writing scripts, recording audio, editing, making thumbnails — you can delegate most tasks and focus on strategy and growth.
When I started outsourcing, my upload frequency doubled without increasing my personal workload. My channel grew faster, my videos looked more professional, and I finally had time to work on other income streams.
Step 1 – Keep What You Do Best, Outsource the Rest
Decide which parts you want to keep control over. Some creators like to write their own scripts but outsource everything else. Others prefer to manage editing and let someone else handle thumbnails and visuals.
Step 2 – Use ElevenLabs for Professional Narration
Even if you outsource other tasks, I recommend keeping narration in‑house using ElevenLabs because:
- It’s faster than waiting for a voice actor.
- You can maintain a consistent voice for your brand.
- It allows multi‑language dubbing for global reach.
Start with ElevenLabs here and handle narration in minutes instead of days.
Step 3 – Hire Thumbnail Designers on Fiverr
Your thumbnail is your video’s first impression. Fiverr is one of the best places to find experienced designers who know what gets clicks on YouTube.

Step 4 – Work with Video Editors
If editing slows you down, hire a video editor who specializes in YouTube content. You can give them your narration, visuals, and branding style guide, and they’ll deliver a finished product ready to upload.
Step 5 – Use Stock Footage and Templates
For faceless channels, you can outsource visuals by using Envato Elements or have a freelancer gather relevant stock clips for you. This keeps your content fresh without filming anything yourself.
Step 6 – Build a Team Over Time
You don’t have to outsource everything at once. Start with one freelancer, then slowly build a small team for consistent, high‑quality production.

When I first tried to do everything myself for my faceless YouTube channel, I quickly hit a wall. I was spending 10–15 hours a week just on editing and thumbnail creation. Once I started outsourcing using Fiverr and kept narration in‑house with ElevenLabs, my workflow completely changed. I could finally focus on strategy instead of getting stuck in production.

The smartest thing I did was keep narration control. Outsourcing voiceovers can be slow and inconsistent — sometimes you have to wait days for a revision. With ElevenLabs, I generate the perfect narration in minutes. This also lets me make last‑minute changes to a script without delaying an upload.
A finance creator I know built his entire workflow around this model: he writes the scripts, uses ElevenLabs for narration, and outsources everything else. His Fiverr editor and thumbnail designer deliver within 48 hours, allowing him to post three times a week while running other businesses.
Thumbnail design is one of the best tasks to outsource first. Professionals on Fiverr understand YouTube CTR psychology — the right font size, color contrast, and layout to make your video stand out. I’ve had thumbnails that doubled my click‑through rate overnight after switching from DIY to pro design.
If editing is your bottleneck, hiring a YouTube‑specialized video editor on Fiverr can change everything. They know how to keep viewer attention with pacing, cuts, captions, and effects, all while staying on‑brand. I send my narration and visuals, and my editor delivers a finished video ready to upload.
Stock footage sourcing can also be outsourced. Many Fiverr freelancers offer content curation packages, where they find and organize all the visuals you need for a single video or an entire series. This saves me hours of scrolling through stock sites.
One creator I worked with runs three faceless channels in different niches. She uses ElevenLabs to create all the narrations in one day, sends them to three different editors, and gets the finished videos back within the week. That’s the kind of scaling power outsourcing gives you.
Communication is key when outsourcing. I recommend creating a brand style guide — a simple PDF that outlines your preferred fonts, colors, transitions, and overall tone. This ensures your Fiverr team stays consistent across all videos, even if you rotate between different freelancers.
The great thing about using ElevenLabs for narration is that it’s perfectly consistent. Your voice never changes in tone or quality, which means every outsourced video feels cohesive no matter who edits it. This is critical for building trust with your audience.
For creators on a budget, you don’t have to outsource everything at once. Start with thumbnails — they have the biggest impact on CTR — then move to editing, and eventually add a stock footage researcher. Keep narration in‑house with ElevenLabs to control costs and speed.
Many faceless channel owners also outsource SEO optimization for titles, tags, and descriptions. There are Fiverr freelancers who specialize in YouTube SEO and can help your videos rank higher — which is a perfect pairing with a professional thumbnail and engaging narration.
Looking back, outsourcing was the turning point for my YouTube growth. Once I freed myself from time‑consuming tasks, I had more energy to focus on content ideas, audience engagement, and monetization strategies.
