How to Choose The Best Niche for Your YouTube Channel

You must first identify what niche you want to target before beginning a YouTube channel.

If you want your YouTube journey to be a success, you must define what your channel's purpose is right from the start.

The importance of choosing the niche

The core of a YouTube business is the niche you'll be targeting. To give your audience the correct video content, you must first understand who they are. You can't just throw videos up on YouTube and hope for the best. Every video must have a goal and a message.

How to pick the best niche for your YouTube channel

When deciding to start a YouTube channel, many people already have a specialty in mind because they want to focus on something they currently do. If you're an artist, for example, you already know that you want your channel to focus on art. If you know how to use Photoshop, you probably want to teach others how to use it.

However, you might want to start a YouTube channel because you like the idea of making videos and would like to live the life of a YouTuber. You might also wish to use YouTube to make money. If you don't currently have a topic in mind, I'll give you some things to think about while choosing a niche.

PASSION

     Do you have a real interest in the subject?

     For a variety of reasons, it's critical to have enthusiasm for the           subject you're pursuing.

• For a long time, you'll have to provide content on a regular basis (years, at least). It will be extremely tough to deal with the periods when you are exhausted, out of ideas, and frustrated if you do not appreciate the issue.
• If you have no passion in the subject, you will quickly become bored, and your YouTube channel will feel like a series of tedious jobs.
• The enthusiasm is palpable. Have you ever heard anything like this?

DEMAND

Is there any interest in the topics you'll be covering?
If you want to talk about stroking unicorns but no one is looking for it, your videos will be watched by no one.
This is especially true if you want to generate money on YouTube rather than just share your personal interests with the world. If you have a pastime you want to show off, don't be concerned about the demand —Simply claim your abilities and make others appreciate them! You'll build demand for yourself if you do something amazing.

Research the market to check if the niches you've considered are in demand.

You may use Google AdWords Keyword Planner to estimate the number of monthly searches for specific search phrases. You can create a free account and use it to enter your keywords. The tool will display the average number of monthly searches as well as the amount of competition.

You may use Google Trends to examine how popular various topics have become over time. Is the topic seasonal, in the sense that searches only happen during specific times of the year? Is there an upward trend in demand?

COMPETITION

How difficult will it be for you to gain recognition?
Look at how many YouTubers are active in the niche to determine the answer. It will be difficult for you to become a successful YouTuber in that niche if the topic is oversaturated.
You have greater leeway in choosing the niche to target if you don't have a certain topic in mind when you decide to start on YouTube.

However, if you want to use YouTube as part of your content marketing strategy or if you already know what niche you'll be in, don't be concerned if it's a competitive one. You'll begin by targeting low-competition keywords and work your way up. It will be more difficult, but not impossible.

Look at other YouTubers in the niche

• What kind of content do they deliver?
• Why do people watch them?
• How do they keep their audience engaged?

Read the comments to see if the viewers have any suggestions for improvement or require more information, then think about what you can add to the discussion.

• What can I do to convey the subjects in a different light?
• How can I add additional value to the viewers' experience?
• You must recognise the market's problems and fix them yourself.

You must recognise the market's problems and fix them yourself. People will engage with you if you bring something valuable and qualitative to the market.
