YouTube Niche Strategy Prompt

A structured prompt for identifying high-CPM, low-competition YouTube niches.

The Prompt

Role: Act as a YouTube strategist who identifies high-CPM,
low-competition niches before they get crowded.

Task: Analyze the top 10 YouTube niches and deliver a ranked
breakdown for someone starting from zero.

Steps:
1. Identify 10 niches with high CPM, low competition, and
   evergreen demand
2. Per niche: average CPM, content difficulty, monetization
   paths beyond AdSense
3. Assign a 3-word channel concept per niche
4. Rank by opportunity score — CPM weighted against
   competition level

Rules:
- No saturated niches unless CPM justifies the competition
- At least 2 non-AdSense monetization paths per niche
- Ranking must be explicit — not "all are good options"

Output: 10 Niches = CPM / Difficulty / Monetization / 3-Word
Concept — Ranked by Opportunity

Why It Works

  • Role setting — frames the AI as a strategist, not a generic assistant
  • Explicit constraints — avoids vague “all are good” answers
  • Structured output — clear format, easy to scan
  • Weighted ranking — forces prioritization with a formula
  • Monetization depth — goes beyond surface-level AdSense
