Intro
Eddie Eizner introduces himself and the video's purpose: to reveal nine YouTube niches capable of generating six-figure annual incomes. He establishes his credibility by mentioning his experience running over 15 long-form YouTube channels and earning six figures per month through social media. He showcases three of his previous channels ("Squiz," and two Minecraft channels) as examples of his success in the field.
Criteria for a Good Niche
Eddie outlines his criteria for identifying promising YouTube niches. He prioritizes channels with first uploads within the last 90 days, consistent view counts, videos exceeding 8 minutes in length (to allow for mid-roll ads), faceless content, and a high average view count. He emphasizes that consistent views are crucial, as they indicate a stable audience and potential for growth.
Bite-Sized Explainer
Eddie analyzes the "Bite-Sized Explainer" channel, noting its recent start (first video uploaded just over a month ago) and consistent view count. The channel features simple editing, using AI-generated voiceovers and collages of images. Eddie estimates that the channel could be run entirely for free, making it accessible to beginners. He estimates potential earnings of $2,000 to $3,000 per month with a more consistent upload schedule. He places this channel in C tier, citing its ease of creation but lower earning potential compared to other niches.
How People Make Money
Eddie examines the "How People Make Money" channel, which focuses on finance-related content. He observes that the channel's first video was uploaded around two months ago and that it maintains a consistent view count. Due to its focus on finance, the channel likely benefits from a higher RPM (revenue per thousand views). Eddie estimates similar production costs to the previous channel (around $100 per video with a team) but suggests that the channel could be run independently. He places this channel in B tier, citing its higher earning potential due to its finance niche.
Uni Diamond Talk
Eddie reviews the "Uni Diamond Talk" channel, which covers baseball. He notes its recent start (around six weeks old) and consistent, high view counts. The channel features simple editing with cuts and charts. Eddie estimates higher production costs due to the need for specific baseball clips, potentially costing around $250 to $300 per video. Despite the higher costs, he places this channel in B tier, citing its high average view count and potential for good earnings.
The Paint Professor
Eddie analyzes "The Paint Professor," a channel with very high view counts. The channel is around six weeks old and features simple thumbnails and drawings in its videos. Eddie estimates editing costs of $80 to $90 per video and suggests that while the drawings could be done independently, it would be time-consuming. He places this channel in S tier, emphasizing its exceptional view count and potential earnings, estimating upwards of $30,000 in a six-week period if all views were monetized.
Gumball Universe
Eddie examines "Gumball Universe," a channel with consistent and high view counts. The channel is also around six weeks old and features more animation and clips compared to previous channels. Eddie estimates editing costs of around $140 per video and thumbnail costs of $25. He notes that editing this type of content may be more difficult for newbie editors. He places this channel in S tier, highlighting its consistent views and suggesting that the niche could be replicated with other similar shows like "Adventure Time."
Rock of Ages
Eddie reviews "Rock of Ages," a channel with a mix of view counts. He notes that the videos are simple, iMovie-style montages that require minimal effort. Eddie doesn't provide a budget estimate due to the channel's simplicity. He places this channel in A tier, citing its ease of creation and potential for frequent uploads with minimal time investment.
The Final Guard
Eddie analyzes "The Final Guard," a channel focused on Squid Game content. He notes that the channel's videos are over eight minutes long and have generally good views, although recent videos have seen a decline. The editing style is similar to the "Bite-Sized Explainer" channel. Eddie estimates editing costs of $40 to $50 per video and thumbnail costs of $15 to $20. He places this channel in C tier, drawing parallels to the "Bite-Sized Explainer" channel in terms of production and potential.
Safe by Design
Eddie reviews "Safe by Design," a channel with a high average view count. The channel's first video was uploaded at the end of February. Eddie estimates editing costs of around $85 per video and thumbnail costs of $20. He believes the channel could be edited independently, even by those with limited experience. He places this channel in A tier, citing its consistent view count, original niche, and overall potential.
That's Joke
Eddie examines "That's Joke," a channel with a similar format to the C-tier channels. The channel's first video was uploaded in early March. Eddie estimates editing costs of around $80 per video and thumbnail costs of $10. He notes that the channel's videos are around 20 minutes long, potentially leading to a higher RPM. While the channel has a consistent view count, its average view count is lower than desired. However, it has some videos with really good views. He places this channel in B tier, considering it better than the C-tier channels due to its longer videos and potential for higher earnings.
Final Tier List and Outro
Eddie presents his final tier list, ordering the channels within each tier. He commits to including links to all the channels in the video description, arranged in the order of the tier list. He concludes the video, thanking viewers and expressing hope that they found the information helpful.
