[00:00] After researching thousands of channels,

[00:01] I found something crazy. Simple

[00:03] spreadsheets making 10K a month, while

[00:05] creators barely lift a finger. I'm

[00:06] ranking these niches based on how easy

[00:08] they are to create, how many people are

[00:09] doing it, and how much money they make

[00:11] you. Niche number 14, ranking channel.

[00:13] This channel made 3,000 to $5,000 just

[00:15] by showing how many goals your favorite

[00:17] soccer player made. Just look at their

[00:19] best performing video. It seems like

[00:20] people really enjoy to watch how many

[00:22] times their favorite tennis player has

[00:23] bounced the ball. This person is

[00:24] literally getting paid to create these

[00:26] loweffort spreadsheets. This niece gets

[00:27] a solid B tier. Niche number 12, the

[00:29] improving niche. Trust me, this is a

[00:31] hidden gem. With only nine videos, this

[00:33] channel pulled in 10 million views with

[00:34] these extremely lowquality stickman

[00:36] slideshows. You could retire your

[00:38] parents with this niche. The channel has

[00:39] already made over 10K [music] with just

[00:41] nine videos. I'll put this niche at S

[00:43] tier. Niche number 12, dumb explainers.

[00:45] This channel is making 5K a month

[00:46] explaining finance with bananas and

[00:48] monkeys. Text, credit cards, crypto.

[00:50] Turns out people will learn anything if

[00:52] you explain it to them like a

[00:53] 5-year-old. The best part about this

[00:55] niche, finance has one of the highest

[00:56] RPMs. So, believe me when I say that the

[00:58] creator of this channel is securing his

[01:00] back with this niche. I'll give it a

[01:02] place at S tier. Niche number 11,

[01:03] Iceberg Explained. This channel started

[01:05] posting only one year ago and has pulled

[01:07] in over 11 million views. Assuming they

[01:09] have a $2 to $4 RPM, the channel has

[01:11] approximately made over 20 to 40K.

[01:13] That's an above average salary just from

[01:15] a simple stickman explaining things. It

[01:17] gets its place at a tier. Niche number

[01:19] 10, senior health adviser. This channel

[01:22] made 2,000 to 4,000 in only 1 month with

[01:24] AI generated slideshows for granny's.

[01:27] When seniors find something interesting,

[01:28] they share it on Facebook with their

[01:30] fans, which means free promo. Next to

[01:32] that, you could expect crazy RPMs from

[01:34] this niche because when they see an ad,

[01:35] they never skip. I'll put it at C tier

[01:37] because there's one downside. You have

[01:39] to be careful with the things you're

[01:40] advising unless you want a big lawsuit

[01:42] coming after you. Number nine, nostalgic

[01:44] slideshows. This channel made $3,000 in

[01:46] just one month with slideshows of

[01:48] nostalgic vintage photos. That's a

[01:50] month's salary from putting some

[01:51] pictures together that people made

[01:53] decades ago. People are crying for

[01:54] nostalgia watching these photos while

[01:56] the creators making bank. So, this niche

[01:58] gets its place at a tier. Niche number

[02:00] eight, sleep stories. This channel is

[02:02] printing money while using AI to

[02:04] generate one to twohour long videos.

[02:06] Getting paid $20 per 1,000 views while

[02:08] viewers sleep through their ads, making

[02:10] them even more money. This format works

[02:12] for any topic as long as it's created to

[02:14] make people fall asleep. This is

[02:15] definitely an S tier niche because of

[02:17] its low effort and high income

[02:18] possibility. Number seven, what if

[02:20] stories? In just 3 months, this channel

[02:22] has already pulled in almost 4 million

[02:24] views by asking questions like, "What if

[02:26] a Navy Seal fought a Roman soldier?" I

[02:28] can bet you guys that this channel has

[02:30] already made over 10K from this. And the

[02:32] best part, the engagement. There are

[02:34] thousands of arguments in these comment

[02:35] sections about grown men arguing if

[02:37] Napoleon would survive a battle against

[02:39] Donald Trump. Jokes aside, this n gets a

[02:41] solid B tier with serious vowel

[02:43] potential. Niche number six, Then and

[02:44] Now. This channel has approximately made

[02:46] over $2,000 just from showing before and

[02:49] afters of celebrities. With these crazy

[02:51] clickbaity thumbnails, they've managed

[02:52] to pull in over 1 million views. It

[02:54] makes people feel emotional knowing that

[02:56] their glory days will soon be over two

[02:57] with a high varietality potential

[02:59] because you're talking about

[03:00] celebrities. Disney gets a solid B tier.

[03:02] Number five, Japanese Secrets. This

[03:04] channel has made over $3,000 from this.

[03:06] For some reason, everyone's obsessed

[03:08] with Japanese Secrets. So, putting it in

[03:10] your title will double your views. So,

[03:11] jokes aside, notice how the best

[03:13] performing videos on this channel both

[03:15] include the word Japanese in their

[03:16] title. You think that's a coincidence? I

[03:18] don't think so. So, what's the ranking

[03:19] place? I'll give it a nice B tier. Niche

[03:21] number four, the explaining niche. This

[03:23] is very simple. You take a topic and

[03:25] explain all different versions and

[03:26] variants of it. This channel has made

[03:28] over $5,000 doing this. Next to almost

[03:30] having infinite content, because of the

[03:31] superheroes niche being so popular, I'll

[03:33] put it at S tier. Niche number three,

[03:35] non-citizen guides. This channel has hit

[03:37] 3.4 4 million views in just 7 months of

[03:39] posting these boring, loweffort videos.

[03:41] The secret, fear. These viewers aren't

[03:43] watching this for entertainment [music]

[03:44] to trying to avoid getting deported. As

[03:46] you might guess, this niche is extremely

[03:48] unsaturated. Before finding this

[03:49] channel, I didn't even know this niche

[03:51] existed. So, that's why I'm putting it

[03:52] at a tier. It's crazy how this niche is

[03:54] printing money while others can't even

[03:56] pay their rent. Niche number two, AI

[03:58] revenge stories. This channel has made

[04:00] over $2,000 in just one month of

[04:02] creating these 1-hour long AI generated

[04:04] videos. And notice how I'm saying

[04:05] videos, not stories, because in this

[04:07] crappy thumbnail, you can see that it's

[04:09] based on a true story. So, assuming

[04:11] that's actually the case, I'll put it at

[04:12] B tier. After YouTube's new recent

[04:14] policy, you can only monetize these type

[04:16] of videos if they're actually based on a

[04:18] real story. To give YouTube the idea

[04:19] that you actually did research instead

[04:21] of using chat TPT to make up a story for

[04:23] you. Niche number one, quiz games. With

[04:25] 11 million views, this channel has

[04:26] approximately made over $10,000 just

[04:29] from uploading easy quiz games. The

[04:31] videos are easy to make and you only

[04:32] need images, sound effects, and a voice

[04:34] over. Looking at the most recent video,

[04:36] you can see that the channel's

[04:37] consistently performing really well. So,

[04:39] this niche gets thrown into B tier. Now,

[04:41] just as you thought this video was over,

[04:42] I'm not done yet. I want to thank you

[04:44] for staying this long. So, as a bonus,

[04:45] I'm giving you guys four more niches

[04:47] that nobody's talking about. Bonus niche

[04:49] number one, ASMR cursing car. This

[04:51] channel has made5 to $10,000 just from

[04:53] crushing things with the car. It's ASMR

[04:55] but for your eyes. Bonus niche number

[04:57] two, scary stories niche. This 7-hour

[04:59] long video has over 1 million views. So,

[05:01] just imagine how much this channel

[05:03] actually makes. With videos that long

[05:05] and a combined amount of 28 million

[05:07] views, I can assure you guys that this

[05:09] channel has made over $10,000 minimum,

[05:11] which if you think about it, is

[05:12] mind-blowing. Bonus niche number three,

[05:14] the drama niche. This channel has made

[05:16] over $50,000 just from posting celebrity

[05:18] news and tweets. And the best part about

[05:20] this niche is that it's extremely easy

[05:22] to go viral. Like I said, niches that

[05:24] involve celebrities are gold mines. When

[05:25] people see someone famous, they click on

[05:27] it. That's the way it works. Bonus n

[05:29] number four, the superhero movie leaks.

[05:31] This channel you're seeing right here is

[05:32] consistently pulling in millions of

[05:33] views per month just from talking about

[05:35] Marvel movies while showing some footage

[05:37] in the background. And the best part

[05:38] about this niche, the videos are

[05:40] extremely easy to make and the view

[05:41] duration is usually very high. Trust me,

[05:43] people watch anything related to movie

[05:45] leaks. Especially now with big superhero

[05:47] movies coming up, many fans are hyped to

[05:49] see leaks about them. So, now that

[05:50] you've seen all of these niches that you

[05:51] can use to finally start making some

[05:53] cash on YouTube, it's all up to you if

[05:55] you decide to take action or not. Just

[05:56] for the record, these niches won't last

[05:58] forever, so get on them as fast as you

[06:00] can while they last. The best time is to

[06:02] start now. If you enjoy this video, then
