Struggling to pick a YouTube niche that actually grows? You're not alone. With 500 hours of video uploaded every single minute, standing out requires more than just hitting "record."
The secret? Combining your passion with proven strategies.
Here’s your step-by-step guide to finding your sweet spot—without the overwhelm.
🔍 Action-Powered Prompts to Discover Your Niche
1. What’s Hot Right Now?
Prompt:
“Show me the top 5 trending topics in [your niche] using Google Trends. Give me 3 video ideas for each trend.”
Example:
If "sourdough baking" is spiking, create:
-
5 Common Sourdough Mistakes (And How to Fix Them)
-
3 Sourdough Hacks You Didn’t Know You Needed
-
My 7-Day Sourdough Starter Challenge
2. Who’s Your Perfect Viewer?
Prompt:
“Describe my ideal viewer in the [your niche] space. What keeps them up at night?”
Pro Tip:
“Gamers” is too broad. Try something like:
“Parents who game after their kids go to bed.” Now that is niche power.
3. What Questions Aren’t Being Answered?
Prompt:
“Find 10 unanswered questions about [topic] on Reddit or Quora. Turn the top 3 into video scripts.”
Goldmine Alert:
“How do I start a podcast with just my phone?” = 14K+ monthly searches with low competition.
4. Where Are the Content Gaps?
Prompt:
“Analyze 3 top channels in [niche]. List 3 topics they never cover.”
Real Find:
Top baking creators rarely show “how to salvage burnt cookies.” That’s a relatable and untapped gem!
5. What Seasonal Opportunities Exist?
Prompt:
“List 3 holidays or events in [niche] and 2 video ideas for each.”
Smart Move:
“Valentine’s Day Gift Hacks for Gamers” is a repeat winner every February.
