3:35[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
