Monetized YouTube channel in the true-crime niche (faceless)

Monetized YouTube channel in the true-crime niche (faceless)
A fully monetized German-language YouTube channel in the True Crime and investigative documentary niche is for sale.

Business Model
The channel generates revenue exclusively through YouTube Watch Page Ads. It publishes long-form documentaries with professional voice-over and operates 100% faceless, with no personal branding or on-camera personalities. This structure makes the asset independent of individuals, easy to transfer, and highly scalable.

Monetization to date has been limited to YouTube ad revenue. There are no affiliates, sponsors, memberships, or external funnels in place, leaving clear opportunities for the buyer to introduce additional revenue streams and unlock significant growth.

Content is evergreen and a meaningful portion of income comes from the existing back catalog. Even with infrequent new uploads, the channel continues to produce steady revenue. Potential upside includes affiliate marketing, sponsorships, memberships, community strategies, Shorts, and external funnels, none of which have been implemented so far.
