How to run a faceless news channel on TikTok, step by step
You can run a faceless news channel by picking one beat, using original news articles as your sources, turning each one into a vertical video with voiceover and captions in ainius, and posting every day. ainius does the editing; choosing stories, checking the content and posting are still your job.
A daily routine
- Pick a narrow beat you can follow (for example prices, traffic, local sport, tech) and a few outlets you trust.
- Each day choose 3 to 10 stories worth covering and paste each link into ainius.
- Pick a voice: there are 8 native Vietnamese voices (Northern and Southern, male and female, news and TikTok styles) plus international voices. Pick a length of 30, 60 or 90 seconds.
- ainius writes a script that follows the source article, records the voiceover, matches visuals, adds captions and credits the source on the video; an automatic step checks each sentence against the source article to limit information that is not in it; you should still review the video before posting.
- Review each video, download it and post it to TikTok, YouTube Shorts or Reels.
How often the big news channels post
In our own study of the 300 latest videos of each channel (19 September to 2 October 2026), the large Vietnamese news channels on TikTok posted roughly 7 to 28 videos a day. They win on speed and consistency, not on any single video being special. That is the part ainius helps with: it cuts the time to make one video to a few minutes.
What you still have to do
- Choose the stories and take responsibility for what you post: review each video before posting, especially names, numbers and places.
- Follow each platform's policies (political or sensitive news, rights to images and music).
- Post the videos yourself; ainius does not promise views, followers or income.
