Frequently asked questions
What is the most profitable YouTube niche?
Finance, business and tech consistently earn the highest RPMs because advertisers there pay premium rates. Gaming and entertainment have lower RPMs but huge view volume.
Should I pick a niche just for the money?
RPM matters, but pick something you can create consistently. A high-RPM niche you abandon earns nothing; a mid-RPM niche you sustain compounds for years.
