When it comes to digital marketing, there are a few niches (subject matters) that rule above all others. These are undoubtedly fitness, making money and dating. And the reason for the popularity of these three topics is that they allow creators to speak to things that all of us need. We all want to be wealthier and we all want to find love/sex. Everyone needs to be healthy.
On YouTube, the same things holds true and these topics are still incredibly sought after and very lucrative.
But YouTube is a weird place and the usual rules of Internet marketing donât always apply⌠which is why there are some rather surprising niches that donât fit any of the same criteria but are still highly successful. For exampleâŚ
Game Streaming
Game streaming is an incredibly easy niche to get into and especially if youâre a gamer/someone who enjoys computer games. You might need a fairly high-end PC in order to run the best games and record the screen at the same time but that is really the only requirement for this!
From there, there are a number of different types of content you can create on YouTube using game streaming that will find a surprisingly large audience. These include:
⢠âLetâs Playsâ â Videos where you play the game and comment on it at the same time
⢠âWalkthroughsâ â Videos where you help others to get past tricky parts of a game that they may be struggling with
⢠âPlaythroughtsâ â Videos where you play through the game but donât narrate what youâre doing
⢠âReviewsâ â Reviews of different games
Reviews
Reviews is not really one niche but rather a type of content that spans many different subjects.
Whatâs particularly interesting about reviews though is just how many niches get covered. For example, you can actually grow a very large audience by reviewing toys of various kinds! If you remember Transformers toys from your youth, then try typing in âOptimus Prime reviewâ and youâll find there are plenty of videos of guys playing with their toys, transforming them and narrating the experience⌠who knew!
Fails
Fails are compilation videos of people falling over, crashing vehicles and generally making fools of themselves. If you can find fail videos that have no copyright, then you can create your own collages with no need to go in front of the camera yourself. âWinsâ are also very popular!
ASMR
ASMR is a strange concept if youâre familiar with it. It stands for âAutonomous Sensory Meridian Responseâ and itâs the sensation that certain people get when they hear things being rustled or people whispering. There are some people on YouTube with thousands of views and all they do is rustle newspaper!
Music
Want to become a rock star but not sure you can get the attention of a record label? Why not create your own YouTube channel and build a following that way!
Makeup Tutorials
These are massive and are very simple for women. Of course you need to spend a little money on the makeup but once youâve done that, itâs just a matter of showing people how you get ready for a night out!
