I just discovered a YouTube channel
making over $10,000 a month that quite
frankly nearly put me to sleep because
it's so boring. However, when I realized
how much money this boring little
channel was making, I decided to pour
myself another cup of coffee and find a
bunch more. And I found some incredibly
boring YouTube channels that are making
incredible money. And I'm going to show
you why boring YouTube channel ideas are
often overlooked as good businesses. And
yet sometimes they're the most powerful
ones, right? They have the most
potential to make money. And these
channels are literally putting people to
sleep while making their creators rich.
And honestly, I'm kind of jealous
because these videos are a ton of work
to put together. So, if you appreciate
that, go ahead and gently tap the like
button. And in today's video, you'll see
where these channels get their views,
how they make their money through
multiple different revenue streams, and
how you might implement these same
strategies with your own boring ideas.
Oh, and I'm also going to reveal nine
other boring YouTube channels that are
making even more than $10,000 a month.
In fact, one of these creators actually
launched a billionoll company from the
channel. Yes, billion with a B. And he's
literally richer than Mr. Beast. And
stick around to find out who that is.
With that being said, sit back, relax,
pour yourself a cup of coffee, and let's
get into it. All right, the first
channel on the list is one that some of
you might actually recognize, and that
is Three Blue, One Brown. And this is a
channel that covers primarily mathreated
topics which of course most people makes
them want to fall asleep. Now one of his
videos that caught my eye was a video
called How I Animate Three Blue One
Brown. And in this video he talks about
how he created his own video editing
software to create the animations that
he does in these videos which is
absolutely incredible. It's basically
like a video editing software that's
combined with like science and math
related animation stuff, which I thought
was pretty cool. Now, his most popular
video has 19 million views. And if you
look at his view stats profile, he has
made $99,000
from this video. So, he's made almost
$100,000 from just a single video that
he uploaded. Pretty good. And he's
making about 13 to $38,000 a month. And
that's despite the fact that he's not
uploading nearly as much as he used to.
So, a lot of this is probably just
passive or residual views. Now,
additionally, he's likely monetizing in
other ways as well. This is an
educational channel, so there is a good
chance that he's monetizing in other
ways and doing it really well. Generally
speaking, educational channels, it's
much easier to monetize outside of just
AdSense and sponsorships. So, I would
say conservatively, he's making $50 to
$100,000 a month from this channel. And
if he's monetizing correctly, he could
be making anywhere from a h 100red to
$300,000 a month. And that's actually
something that I help people do. I help
them to monetize correctly. And speaking
of me teaching people how to make more
money, that brings me to the second
channel, which is the financial
controller. And this is one of my
clients, and he teaches people how to
become a financial controller, which 99%
of you probably don't know what that is.
And that's because it's basically a
highlevel accountant. So, accounting in
general, most people find that
incredibly boring. It's kind of almost
like a meme, like accounting is a boring
job. And he teaches people how to become
like a super accountant, which is a
financial controller, which can make
like, you know, 100, 200, even $300,000
a year at certain companies. So, it's a
very highpaying accounting job. And
yeah, so his audience is just
accountants that want to become
financial controllers. Okay, that's what
he does. Now, with him, this stuff is
probably pretty easy. It's pretty
repetitive. He's probably done it a
hundred times before. And so him making
this content is kind of very repetitive
and like watching paint dry, right? It's
like watching grass grow. It's very
boring for him, but he does it day after
day because he wants to help other
people become financial controllers.
That is what he does. Now, if you look
at his view stats, it's probably not
super impressive when it comes to the
AdSense. Yeah. So, the AdSense says he's
making $500 to $1.4,000
a month. Now, I know because he's one of
my clients and he told me that he made
up to $70,000 in a single month from
this channel. So, you know, that is why
I often times will recommend doing
educational content, especially niche
educational content because you can make
significantly more money outside of
AdSense. There's many other ways of
monetizing, selling digital products,
selling courses, starting your own
company, selling coaching or consulting,
uh agency work, freelance work, etc.,
etc. and so he is absolutely crushing it
with this channel. Quick break. If
you're struggling to grow your YouTube
channel, you're spending a lot of time
making videos and it feels like your
hard work isn't going anywhere. I
actually have a free live workshop this
Tuesday at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Standard
Time via Zoom. You can check this out
down in the description and the pin
comment below. And during this live
workshop, I myself will be going over
how you can grow your YouTube channel
while spending less time working on your
videos. You'll get to meet me and you
get to ask me questions directly and
it's completely free. And this is the
only time we'll be going over these
YouTube secrets just during this live
training. So, you won't be able to get
this anywhere else and it's a one-time
event. And for this one time only, I
will be giving away my viral idea
generator GPT for free at the workshop.
Now, this is trained on thousands of
hours of my own video, me working with
clients, my course, my philosophy, and I
actually charge my corporate clients
thousands of dollars for this software.
And honestly, I can't believe I'm giving
this away for free because my most
popular video that got 5 million views
is actually an AI generated idea. So, if
that sounds interesting to you, sign up
for the live workshop down in the
description and the pin comment below
and you'll learn exactly how to do this.
Look forward to seeing you there.
Another person who is crushing it with
their channel and they actually just
retired from YouTube is Scotty Kilmer.
Now, I don't know if he actually retired
or this is one of those, you know, I'm
quitting YouTube type things and then
they're back a month or two later and
then they get a bunch of like attention
from it type things that YouTubers
always do for some reason. But Scotty
Kilmer, if you look at his channel, this
channel is all about cars, right? So,
he's been making videos for many, many
years. It's all about cars. His most
recent videos, I'm leaving YouTube, but
he's been making these freaking videos
for years. like 7 years ago. Five things
you should never do in an automatic
transmission car. Okay? Uh a
transmission car. Uh this is uh th this
is the real way to restore headlights
permanently. Doing this will make your
engine run better. So basically, he's a
mechanic and he just teaches people
random stuff about cars, right? Five
used cars you should buy. I would
totally watch that video if I was
thinking about buying a used car, right?
So this video right here, let's see how
much he made. This is 23 million views.
Let's go to his view stats and see how
much he made from this. $116,000
from a single video. He could probably
buy just about any car he wants in the
entire world with that kind of revenue,
right? And if you look at his channel
litics, he's making $18 to $50,000 a
month. And this is despite the fact that
he hasn't uploaded in nearly 2 months
because he, you know, quit YouTube. He's
leaving YouTube right now. Additionally,
I told you guys that usually um this
this actually under it's a it's an
estimate, right? But it underestimates
how much money they're actually making.
And there is an article where he
actually reveals how much money he made.
So according to view stats lifetime,
he's only made about $1 million to $2.8
million from this channel. And I told
you guys, especially with educational
channels, it is significantly easier to
monetize in both from AdSense because
the AdSense itself is higher.
advertisers pay more to get in in front
of educational audiences and on top of
that there's other ways to monetize. So
if you look at this article he has
brought in $24 million from his YouTube
channel. $24 million. And he said that
once he got going on YouTube in one
month he would make more money than what
he made in 40 years as a mechanic.
Right? So, when I tell you guys that,
you know, these tools that estimate how
much YouTubers are making are way off,
like I'm serious. Like, this is
literally like either 10 times off or 24
times less than what he actually made.
And when you look at his views, 3
billion views, and you take about $10
CPM, that's $10 per 1,000 views. That's
pretty close to the the 28 or the 24
million that he actually made. So yeah,
for a lot of people talking about random
car related stuff like which car is
better than this and just saying stuff
that's probably elementary to him. It's
probably like the simplest stuff in the
world to him. It's like 2 plus 2 equals
4 would be pretty boring. But he's
helping a ton of people. He's helping
them make better decisions when it comes
to which cars they buy. And he's making
a ton of money for it, right? And a lot
of the time the billions are in the
boring, guys. That's where the money's
at is in boring stuff that other people
don't want to do. Which brings us to our
next channel which is Sabine Hosenfelder
and what she does is she basically
covers science related news. Okay, she
does uh daily science news and you can
basically see her videos here and she
actually hasn't been doing this for very
long, only a few years now and she's
already at 1.7 million subscribers and
she basically just covers science
related news pretty much every single
day. Now, a lot of the stuff she covers
would be quite boring to the average
person. But to the scientific community,
they want to stay upto-date on the
latest science related news. So, a lot
of scientific related people love
watching her stuff. Now, when it comes
to view stats, how much is she making?
She's making about $7.4 to $16,000.
And if you look at her most viewed
video, let's check that out. Does the
past still exist 3 years ago? $11,000
from a single video. Now, she's also
monetizing outside of this. Like I said
before, this is an educational channel,
so it's much easier to monetize. She's
got a Patreon that she's probably
monetizing with. It looks like she's got
links to some other stuff, her Twitter,
etc. Donor Box. And to be honest with
you, it doesn't look like she's
monetizing very well. And a lot of the
time I will actually work with people
like this because it it kind of does
look like she's not monetizing very
well. and she could be doing a lot
better job just based on the links that
she's leaving here. But with that being
said, she's definitely making at least
$10,000 a month from this channel. And
she's doing it with videos like this
experiment just ruled out the mini
worlds theory, physicists claim. What
the heck is the mini worlds theory? I
don't know what that is, but people that
are in the scientific community and are
like physicists probably do know what
that is, right? So, it's super
interesting to them. All right, next
channel is very interesting and this is
for the people who don't want to do a
face channel, like a personal brand
channel where they reveal their face.
So, this is useful charts. It's just
exactly what it sounds like. It's useful
charts. Okay, so this is Dr. Matt Baker
as he explains history, religion, and
many more things using interesting
charts. And if you look at his videos,
his most popular ones, I took five DNA
tests and compared them. Which one is
best? uh changes to the British royal
titles since the death of Queen
Elizabeth II, Game of Thrones family
tree, Islamic Prophets family tree, uh
who would be the king of America if
George Washington had been made a king,
earliest depictions of Jesus and art,
biblical family tree, timeline of world
history, major time periods and ages.
Super interesting charts. Now, when you
go to his view stats profile, he's
making about $5 to $15,000 a month. And
like I said, generally speaking,
education channels, they underestimate
how much money they're making. So,
usually these types of channels are I I
would say this channel is making at
least $20,000 a month. And that's if he
just from AdSense, if he's not
monetizing correctly. if you go to his
most popular videos. Oh, and by the way,
if someone who owns one of these
channels sees this and you know, maybe
I'm off on the estimate, maybe you know,
like try to give us a little bit of
indication. If I am off, if you're not
making as much as I'm saying that you're
making, that's probably because you're
not monetizing correctly. And you should
probably book a call with me down in the
description in the pin comment below.
But yeah, this one right here, I took
five DNA tests and compared them. Which
one is best? $41,000
in revenue from a single video that he
didn't even need to show his face from.
Right. Not bad. All right. Another
channel that is super boring and
repetitive, the Hoof GP. And this is
basically like a general practitioner, I
guess, like a hoof doctor, uh, for cows.
And what does he do on his channel? He
cleans cows hooves. And, uh, look at
this one. Nail removal from bull's
painful foot. Biggest stone ever pulled
out of this cow's hoof. Okay, so this
video right here got 22 million views.
Let's see how much this guy is making
from this video and his channel in
general. 1 billion total views.
Absolutely crazy. He's making 31 to
$87,000 a month. And with this channel,
it looks like it's probably mostly from
AdSense cuz it's a little bit more
entertainmentbased. Although you can
make more money if you monetize
correctly, it's just a little bit
harder. And if we look at his most
popular video, see how much that's
making? $112,000
just recording himself doing what he was
going to do anyways, right? He was
literally going to do this anyways.
That's his job is to take care of cows
and stuff. I guess he's a veterinarian.
And he just recorded himself doing it
and uploaded it to YouTube and he made
$112,000 from a single video. Not bad.
But you might be thinking, Shane, that's
too much work for me, okay? I don't I
don't want to have to do a normal job. I
I just want to get paid to do pretty
much nothing. Well, check out this
channel, Tempo Not Timelapse. This is
literally a timelapse channel where they
just they just set up a camera and they
have something that melts or degrades or
whatever and they just record that thing
as it melts or degrades and then just
upload it to YouTube. So, here here's a
melting ice cream time lapse that got
121 million views. Okay, so this
channel, I mean, this one just blows my
mind, man. This this one absolutely
blows my mind. Uh, this channel makes
about 12 to 41,000 a month, and they
don't even upload that much. I mean, in
their heyday, they, you know, they were
getting 1.7 billion views, which is
absolutely insane. So, in their heyday,
they were getting a lot more views than
this. And they're still making 12 to
$41,000 a month. And it's probably kind
of semi-passively from older videos that
they uploaded. And then if we look at
their most viewed video, $172,000
from a 3inute video where they're they
just took a time lapse of something and
then just walked away and that's it. And
then they just uploaded the time lapse.
I mean, it's just easy work. That's just
easy work right there. That's easy
money. All right. Next one is
bigclive.com
or bigcive.com something like that. And
basically what this guy does is he just
talks about different electronics
related stuff. So his most viewed video
is a simple guide to electronic
components, right? So he just makes
simple educational videos on electronics
and that's pretty much it. Now how much
is he making? Well, he's making about
4.1 to 11K per month. And again, if you
look at his views right now, he hasn't
uploaded that much. So, he's getting a
little bit less than 2 million views a
month, that would be about 24 million
views a year. And considering he's got
366 million total views, he was getting
a lot more views beforehand. And this is
an educational channel, so he probably
has a lot of other opportunities to
monetize outside of just AdSense. So you
can see here he's got a Patreon and he's
also got his website where he likely
sells electronic components or even
digital courses on how to sell
electronic components. So he has a lot
of opportunities to monetize outside of
just AdSense alone, not to mention
sponsorships and stuff like that. So
yeah, super boring stuff just talking
about basic electronic related stuff
kind of similar to Scotty Kilmer but for
electronics. And next we've got the
organic chemistry tutor. This channel
absolutely blew my mind. So, they're
uploading videos. I mean, they haven't
uploaded a video in 2 months. Keep keep
in mind, right? They haven't uploaded a
video in 2 months, but they upload
videos on the most boring topics known
to mankind, right? Like, how to find the
reciprocal of a fraction, math, right?
Super boring stuff. Let's look at their
most popular videos. How to find the
domain of a function, radical,
fractions, and square roots. Uh, top 10
most important Excel formulas made easy.
So, just the most boring stuff for like
the average person known to mankind. But
let's look at how much he's making. Now,
keep in mind, he hasn't uploaded a
single video in 2 months. And he's
making 34 to $96,000
a month just making these simple videos
where he doesn't even show his face
about random stuff like improper
fractions. And keep in mind, there are
many, many ways to monetize outside of
just this channel alone. And if you
don't believe me, there's another
channel out there called Physics Walla,
who is likely the richest YouTuber in
the entire world. So, this is Physics
Walla's channel. And if you look at his
oldest videos, he literally started off
just by recording himself with a phone.
I mean, look how blurry this one is,
right? Look at that. Look at that. Look
how blurry this one. Recording himself
with a crappy phone in his basement with
crappy lighting just drawing on a
whiteboard. That is how he started off
with his videos and he launched a
billiondoll company from his YouTube
channel. And if you don't believe me,
here's a CNBC article right here. Indian
edtech startup Physics Walla bags $2.8
billion valuation. And they're aiming to
do another round where they're going to
do a $5 billion valuation. So this guy
is likely even richer than Mr. Beast.
And 99% of people have never heard of
him. So that's what I'm saying when like
these educational channels, there's like
tons of ways to monetize outside of just
AdSense and sponsorships like you have
to rely on with entertainment channels.
So if this guy is monetizing correctly,
he's probably making way way more than
what the AdSense shows. Probably
something like 3 to 10 times more. And
you might be thinking, well, Shane, you
know, he's got almost 10 million
subscribers. You know, it's not
relatable. There's tons of channels out
there that are much smaller that are
making, you know, a lot less money,
probably, you know, anywhere from $5,000
a month to like 20 or $30,000 a month
that are doing something very similar to
this and they're tutoring in other
subjects. And an example of that is one
of my clients, Nicole. She helps people
in IT get into a high-paying cyber
security job called GRC. Okay, so this
is governance, risk, and compliance. And
this is a super high-paying cyber
security job where a lot of people are
making a h 100,000 even 200 or $300,000
a year. And she helps people get into
this job. Now, if you were just to look
at her channel, uh, you know, like a
normal person, right? Just look at view
stats, $34 to $94 a month. You'd
probably think, "Oh, she's not making
any money." Well, I happen to know
because she told me that when she did
her launch with her course, she made
over $80,000 in a single month. And this
type of content is a heck of a lot
easier to make than other types of
content that I went over today where
you're getting millions of views in many
cases. So 14,000 views and she's making
a ton of money from that because she's
monetizing correctly and she's in the
right niche. Okay. So there's lots of
literally like tens of thousands of
channels like this that are making tons
of money. And you know to the naked eye
to someone who doesn't know what they're
looking for, they'd probably think, "Oh,
the channel's not making any money." So
yeah, helping people with cyber
security. Cyber security is notorious
for being, you know, relatively boring.
And she's helping people get cyber
security jobs, which is even more
boring. I mean, who wants to talk about
applying for jobs? That's pretty boring,
right? And she's absolutely crushing it
doing that. And also, check out the
video I did interviewing Shawn, breaking
down exactly how we were able to help
him overcome all of his headaches when
it comes to YouTube and reach $500,000
plus per month by clicking right here.
