What content will live? what niches right now can you make the most interesting money without a voice or a face? This is what we will look at in today's video. I have prepared a selection of the best and most promising topics, in my opinion, that I would like to explore right now. And, by the way, they are not simple. These are niches that require a lot of effort and a real understanding of the content to create. But in the end, we'll get a because most newcomers to YouTube are currently going for the most lightweight niches. These are quotes, this is motivation, this is music for sleeping, these are some shorts, reactions and all that stuff. Today we'll talk about serious niches that I would personally enter right now. Let's go. The first niche is book reviews. This channel provides detailed analyses of a particular self-development book and, in 20 dash 40 minutes, reveals its essence and key points. For example, 19 simple rules that made Damon Buffett rich, an analysis of the book "The 100 million dollar money model", an analysis of the book "The Duma and the Rich Man", and so on. That is, in essence, the channel is built on the fact that he makes summaries of various books and gets huge views from this which is more focused on psychology. This is the Antidote. He also makes content that targets relationships, attention, women, influencers, and so on. In general, we can look at popular videos and see views, and in 8 months another million. That is, the content is very much aimed at a conscious audience, so even though the videos don't get latest video, this content is one of the eternal niches that will constantly grow, because people don't really want to read books; they want to get the most important things right away. And if we can give them this, then, of course, YouTube will value us and treat us loyally, promoting our next niche, I can’t help but share a great value. I recorded a step-by-step guide where I explained in detail everything I did to achieve my results on YouTube and how you can reach your first $1,000 a month in the coming months. To get it and watch it, just follow the first link in the description or the hint in the upper right corner. This is what I would have loved to see and know when I started my journey. The next niche is AI history. In this case, stories of betrayal. A very controversial niche, I would say, in terms of monetization. I've taken as an example several making money, quite a bit, but I fighting against this type of content, and these niches need to be approached very carefully, but they do generate income, so I've added them to our selection. In simple terms, this someone cheating on someone, and all of this is stretched out over an hour, so to speak, older people in America really like to watch this kind of thing. And I think we love it too. The content is constructed in the simplest possible way. These are stories through the GPT, voiceovers through Elev Labs, or its analogues, and a selection of images and videos, or their creation through neural networks. Of course, background music. And this is the Of course, background music. And this is the content we have ready. everything is voiced by a robot. Yes, the content is controversial, and Tubactin fights against such content, but this can be done now. And my students and I actively make money from this. So, please, here's another example of a niche, a story of betrayal, which is currently getting good views. The videos are 20 minutes long. Here women are already cheating on men. The content is working, the channel is monetized, so it can be Besides the story of betrayal, there are a huge number of other stories, there are stories of discrimination, stories of Reddit, there are some funny stories or stories of betrayal, and so on. stories, some kind of fictional fantasy, for example, the different people who like to listen to this kind of thing, study it, and why shouldn’t we make money from it? Let 's move on to the next niche. It's simple economics. In other words, here , for example, the monkey explains how to invest, how crypto works, how inflation works purely on bananas. That content is not simple, but you can see that 21 videos, that is, shorts are also made here, and horizontal videos. In 21 videos a person will get 400,000 subscribers. And the channel, of course , is monetized. Let's watch the , is monetized. Let's watch the video. that change one after another, this channel has a considerable income. There is also an alternative channel, Monkey Explains. Same thing, same are used. Apparently, they somehow agreed among themselves that there was a gorilla, yes, they just draw it differently. And the views are also gaining momentum. has really taken over the niche, but it's clear that 6 months ago we released our first video on this channel . So it's clear that Mank Explains inspired us. And now there are a ton of channels with different animals that explain things in simple language. And people really need this kind of content because it's simple, it's engaging, to understand the essence of some big issue in a short period of time, which is what , and people really love watching this kind of thing. Again, why shouldn't we There is monetization. The niche is financial, the RPM is one of the highest in this type of content. It can reach up to $10 per 1,000 views. Therefore, please, it is incredibly interesting. That is, people want to understand various topics, but do not like boring presentation. It's everywhere now, that is, finance, crypto, it's all explained in a very boring way now. And they found the key: they explain some difficult things in simple language, thereby capturing the attention of the audience and receiving their hard- the attention of the audience and receiving their hard- earned money. The script, layout of ideas, and shot changes are written through GPT chat or its analogues. Pictures are drawn is glued together in editing and the result is content of a similar nature. The next niche is internet scandals. There is a channel called Internetnarhist, and you can take a look. simply stable million-plus viewers that appear on the channel. That is, there are almost a million on practically every first video that comes out here. No, every second one, probably. But nevertheless, the length of the video, the seriousness and maturity of the audience, the topics that are watched by a conscious audience - yes, this is not money, but this niche also allows the author to not live in poverty. Here is a similar type of content, which we develop as or neural network, content that is created on this channel. They have such quality now because they have been working for a couple of years, yes, or however long they have been working. The first video was released 3 years ago . Well, here's another similar channel as an example, in a slightly different vein, with a slightly different format of analysis, but we also views, and YouTube is also valuing and promoting this niche. And there is an example of new channels that have been developing in it recently. And now, in 2 weeks, result for this niche, both in terms of income and that one of the biggest interests of people now is scandals. And if there are explain in our videos, and we ourselves enjoy this direction, then we can earn a lot of money from this type of content . And this channel alone makes $20,000 a month on this type of content. Another niche we'll be exploring today is the talking hat channel Talking Headad. What's the point? The fact that he shows rather dubious topics through comparison. And also drawn content, this is a change of frames due to such a small 2D animation. But the author monetizes. It has received half a million views in the last 7 days . And he makes from 5 to 16,000 dollars monthly. Why content costs $1,000, he makes much more from this channel . If he makes even 10,000 dollars here, he will recoup all his investments many times over. Well, another niche for today is simple psychology. Here the author animations, by the way, the channel is monetized, yes, we watch it right away. Here, some psychological issues are discussed in simple language , and various topics are revealed with the help of 2D hand-drawn animation. For example, the psychology of people who don't celebrate their birthdays, the psychology of people who don't watch football, and a bunch of other topics. Overall, the content is interesting, the content is cool, and you want to learn more about what is revealed in a particular video when you look at the cover. That's why there are a lot of such channels. And psychology is one of the most hyped topics right now, both on Russian YouTube and in the West. And this type of content is trending now, and it can also be produced. Topics can be generated using GPT chat and competitor analysis. Scripts should be written using Gin or the same Chatт GPT. And either create pictures in neural networks or draw them content on YouTube with psychology, analysis of thinking, various tricks and moments . This niche can also be made. And as you may have noticed, today I have put together a selection of challenging topics.
