before you commit to a niche, there's one step you can't skip:
competitor analysis
most beginners pick a niche and start posting without checking the competition first
then they wonder why they're not getting a lot of views
It’s because they haven’t checked their competition
so here's how to find competitors:
go to your reference channel's most viral video, copy the title, paste it in youtube search.
competitors will show up
once you find 5-10 competitors, here's what to look for:
green flags:
- small channels (under 100k subs) getting 50k+ views consistently
- multiple channels posting regularly and getting similar results
- low production quality (means barrier to entry is low)
- recent viral videos (posted in last 3-6 months)
---
now red flags:
- tons of huge channels dominating
- channels stopped posting 6+ months ago (niche is probably dying)
- nobody getting views (no demand)
- content costs $500+ per video to recreate
do this for every niche you're considering
then pick the one with the most green flags
this one step will save you months of wasted effort
