If you want to make money with a faceless account on Instagram, you’re going to need a good content bank for reels. End of, story over, there’s no getting around it.
If the idea of plastering your face all over Instagram to sell your digital guide or push an affiliate link is not your vibe, then you need a back-up plan. Ideally a back up plan with 500+ clips ready to download.
Content banks. Aesthetic content banks.
Imagine a secret stash of beautiful, influencer standard clips tailored exclusively for your aesthetic faceless brand — that’s the magic of content banks. Think aesthetic clips of women pouring coffee, tippy-tapping on laptops and making their beautiful beds (without ever seeing their face). Download, add some hooks over the top and a long caption and you’ve suddenly got an Instagram account you can sell with.
Sold on content banks? Here’s my favorites.
The Best Content Banks For Faceless Reels
Forefolk
Forefolk is an amazing content bank aimed at female audiences, these are the videos you see EVERYWHERE. They are currently uploading new videos every week and they all look very natural and cohesive. It’s one of the most affordable subscriptions for what you get, and I’d opt for this one first if you can only buy one. Monthly fees begin at 23.99 GBP/30 USD.
The Studio Brief
The Studio Brief offers gorgeous vertical stock videos filmed specifically for social media. There are very natural b-roll videos to use across your accounts. Think of it like having a dedicated video production team at my fingertips. From 5 GBP/6 USD p/m.
Social Stocks
Social Stocks is a very familiar stock library with great aesthetics for b-roll videos. The content is BEAUTIFUL, there is no denying that and they upload 100-200 new videos per month. This means you could be posting 3 times per day and never run out of content. Has a monthly fee of 33 GBP/ 42 USD.
Packsia
Packsia is a bit more of an elevated content bank, I think that’s the best way to put it. While they do offer vertical videos for social media, the quality is a little bit higher than you might need for a faceless Instagram account. If you’re downloading A LOT of videos, then it might not be the most cost effective option. From $14/month.
Content Cove
The Content Cove is similar in that they have a very aesthetically pleasing stock library. They release new content drops every month and occasionally create new collections based on what’s trending and the time of year. Has a monthly fee of 25 GBP/ 31 USD.
Editorial Stocks
Editorial Stocks started as an image-based platform — beautiful stock images for creative biz’ and of course as the landscape for social media have changed aka images out, videos in, they’ve adapted. They have a gallery of 120 videos that’s being updated constantly, along with the 4000 images on there too. Not my go-to, but if you want to stand out from the crowd of faceless accounts using the Content Cove it’s another option.
