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
