7 BORING YouTube Niches That Are Making Thousands of Dollars a Month

Do you find it hard to choose a niche and you think you have nothing interesting to talk about on YouTube? Do you feel like your life is too boring for content creation? Well, what if I told you that boring is exactly what you need to succeed while everyone else is trying to be the next viral sensation? There's a bunch of boring niches out there that are making thousands of dollars a month. And these are niches that you can take inspiration from. From topics that might be boring to you but entertaining for your grandpa, all the way to niches that will literally put you to sleep. These creators prove that you don't need an exciting life to build a successful channel. You just need to share what you already know. And some of these niches don't even require you to show your face. Well, today's your lucky day because I'm going to be showing you seven of the most boring YouTube niches that are making tons of money and why your boring expertise might be your biggest advantage. So, if you appreciate me making these types of videos, let me know by gently tapping that like button and let's jump into it right now. All right, guys. The first niche is going to be bedtime stories for adults. And I know it sounds weird, but hear me out. This channel is called Bedtime History. They have 7,000 subscribers and they make between $1,600 and $4,500 a month. This is just a conservative estimate from the software called View Stats. But they're likely making a lot more than that considering their videos are really long. In fact, their most popular videos an hour and 29 minutes. And of course, longer videos have more opportunities to show ads. Oh, and that most popular video made at least $2,000. Just one single video, $2,000. Now, here's what they do. They take stories from history, like famous battles, ancient civilizations, historical figures, etc., and they use AI voiceover to narrate the stories. And then they create slideshows with AI generated pictures. And that's literally it. No fancy editing, no expensive equipment, just historical stories told like bedtime stories for grown-ups. And think about it, adults love history, but they're too tired to read books after work. So, they listen to these soothing historical stories to fall asleep. It's genius, even if you think you don't have time to do YouTube. And honestly, you can batch create these in a few hours. AI writes the script, AI creates the voice, AI makes the images, and all you got to do is just put it together and upload it to YouTube. And if you think they're the only channel doing this, uh, nope. Actually, there's another channel called Sleepless Historian, and they're doing the exact same thing, but they're making like 10 times more money. Yeah, they literally started about 5 months ago and they already have 617,000 subscribers, which is pretty crazy. So, yeah, I'm not saying that you do this exact niche. I just want you to use these as examples of something that you could do. Now, the last thing I want you to do is just go and copy these channels. Don't just copy them. Try to take inspiration from them, but make something new. Now, you might be thinking, "Well, Shane, you know, they are getting a lot of views, right? Sleepless Historian is getting millions of views. I don't think I can do that. How can I make money?" Well, this next channel doesn't get that many views, and they're absolutely crushing it. In fact, they're making a lot more than the first two channels that I've shown you. And the second niche is going to be helping women get into cyber security careers. So, meet Nicole. When we first met, she had 85 subscribers. And she wasn't making any money. And she was about to quit on YouTube, but she had knowledge about cyber security. You see, she was a woman who got into cyber security, which is extremely rare. And there's unique challenges that women face trying to get into something like cyber security that's traditionally dominated by men. So, she had that knowledge about how to get into cyber security, especially as a woman, but she was having trouble turning it into income. And after working with me, we got her to over 50,000 subscribers and we got her to making over $85,000 in a month. And how did she do it? Well, we just helped her make content that would attract women and people in general that want to get into cyber security jobs, right? But women who wanted to break into tech and cyber security specifically were her target audience. Now this is a massively underserved market and most cyber security content is made by men for men. But Nicole saw a gap and she filled it. And she teaches complex cyber security concepts in simple terms. Plus, she shows women exactly how to get certified and she shows them what the best jobs to apply for are. So for instance, she recommends going into what's known as GRC or governance, risk, and compliance. And you can see looking at her profile, she doesn't get that many views. is usually just a few thousand views per video, but it doesn't matter because she's solving a very specific niche problem and she's getting people an outcome, right? She's actually helping them to land a job. So, she's able to charge high ticket prices and she's able to monetize much more effectively. Whereas the channel I showed you before probably will never be able to sell anything and they can only make money from the ads that show on their channel, right? So, this is two completely different types of content that you can make, but both situations work. And picking the right things was one of the biggest things that Nicole was struggling with. And just about everybody I meet struggles with this as well. In fact, there have been people that have spent years picking their niche. They've literally wasted years thinking about what niche to go into. And that's why this Tuesday at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time, I'm going to be hosting a free one-time only YouTube workshop. All right, quick break. This Tuesday, 9:00 p.m. Eastern time, I'm hosting a free live workshop called The Billiondoll A Day Industry Suddenly Unlocked by AI. At this workshop, I'll be giving away my brand new tool, TitleGen AI, for free. This is a viral video idea generator that I've been working on, powered by GPT, trained on thousands of hours of my teaching, my philosophy, and coaching sessions, and ready to go for you. And I'm giving it away for this one time only at the workshop. So, make sure you show up, click the link in the description or the pin comment below. And when you're done registering, make sure to click on add this to your calendar so it'll show up in your Google, Apple, or Outlook calendar in order to get our GPT. Now, you'll also be able to ask me questions live, so I look forward to meeting you. See you Tuesday at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming. Oh, and by the way, if you're thinking, "Well, Shane, you know, she's selling products and services. I want to start a Faceless channel, and I can only sell products and services if I actually show my face." Well, actually, no. One of my other clients, Whiz of Ecom, actually started off and actually built a sevenfigure business with a faceless brand. So, you can look back at his old videos and you'll see they're all faceless. Now, eventually he did do a face reveal, but he actually made it to seven figures before he ever showed his face. So, you can do this faceless or you can do it showing your face as well. The underlying principles are always exactly the same, and that's exactly what I'll be teaching in the workshop. So, check it out down in the description in the pen comment below. Now, niche number three is really anything for seniors, but one example would be senior health. Now, there's some very common sense stuff that you can recommend to seniors that dramatically boosts their health. For instance, just going on walks. Like if you just go on walks every day, you'll probably add another 5 to 10 years to your life. And senior content is actually significantly more valuable than any other type of content. And here's why. Advertisers will spend significantly more money on ads to target older people. And the main reason for that is because the majority of money is held by older people. In fact, over 80% of the income is held by people over 50 and above. And not only that, but older folks tend to be bored and at home with nothing to do. So, they have a bunch of free time to consume content, which in turn you get more AdSense for. So, here's an example of this channel called Senior Zone. They have 108,000 subscribers and they made between 1,700 and $4,700 in a month. And their most popular video made about $5,100. Now, here's what they do. They make videos for seniors about healthy living. So, foods seniors shouldn't eat, best exercises for people over 60, etc., etc. And honestly, most of it is kind of just common sense stuff. But the thing is there's a lot of really good information out on the internet in random places, websites, books, etc., etc., but most people like to consume information in video audio format. And so you can literally just take information that's readily available out there in books or on websites, really good information, and then just turn it into video audio format. And in this particular case, this entire channel is made with stock footage and AI voiceover. And so you can do this with AI or if you're an older person watching this. Older people actually tend to want to watch other older people as well because they just tend to relate to them. And so it's actually significantly easier for you to grow if you're an older creator. And that's actually something I'm going to be going over in my workshop Tuesday 9:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Check it out in the link in the description below. For instance, one of the clients I consult with, the Unretired with R.J. just started about 1 month ago and he already had a video that blew up. 32,000 views and he's already over 1,000 subscribers 1 month in. So, this is actually perfect for people who think I'm too old to do YouTube. Age doesn't matter in this niche. In many cases, your audience wants relatability and wisdom, right? Not youth. And I'm kind of jumping ahead here because niche number four is retirement planning. And that's kind of what R.J. is doing here. And if you think R.J. is the only person doing this, actually, there's a channel called Azul. And his channel is targeted to people 50 and older. And just from AdSense alone, he's made between $5,700 and $15,000 in the last 28 days. So that would be well over $200,000 a year just from YouTube AdSense alone. And his most viewed video has 2.49 million views with an estimated $12,300 in revenue, which I can almost promise you is probably about three to four times higher than that because of the fact that his audience is older and therefore advertisers are willing to pay significantly more. And his videos are dead simple. literally just walk and talk recording with an iPhone. No fancy graphics, no editing tricks, just him talking to a camera. And he basically just talks about how to retire early, how I retired at 55, social security mistakes to avoid and how much money you need to retire, right? That's what people want to hear. Baby boomers are hitting retirement age and they're panicked about money. They need guidance and they're willing to pay for it. And Azul gives free advice on YouTube then sells premium courses and coaching. and he probably makes something like 10 times more from the premium coaching and courses than he makes from AdSense. All right, the fifth niche is airplane model explanations. And this channel is called Plane Curious. Very clever name. I like it. And they got about 3 million views last month, which is around $5 to $16,000 a month. And they make videos about specific plane models, like why the Boeing 737 Max was grounded, the truth about the Airbus A380, or what makes the F-35 so expensive. and they go over features, problems, history, and it's all made with stock footage and an AI voiceover. And although they make about5 to $16,000 a month, their most popular video made $6,200. Now, who's watching airplane content? Aviation enthusiasts, pilots, engineers, people who work in aerospace or travelers who want to understand planes better. It's a passionate niche audience and they watch everything about planes and they have money to spend on aviation products. Flight simulators, pilot training, aviation books, and the affiliate opportunities are pretty good. So, who knew talking about boring airplane specs could be so profitable? All right, next niche is going to be relationship coaching for men. And this one that I found is actually quite interesting because it basically focuses on rescuing men who are on the brink of divorce. And this is a channel from Jeffrey Satawan. And I may have gotten that name wrong. Sorry if you're watching this, Jeffree. But he basically helps men rebuild their relationships. And his content focuses on marriage repair. How to save your marriage before it's too late, why your wife doesn't respect you anymore, and the three things destroying your marriage. And he actually showed in a public video that he made around $140,000 in a month. That's about $1.2 million a year run rate. So Jeffree basically just gives free advice on YouTube and then he sells a high ticket coaching program that's designed to rescue a marriage that is on the brink of divorce. And so he doesn't need that many clients to hit six figure months. And most people would find this topic extremely boring. But he's solving a very big painful problem for people and people are more than happy to pay him to solve that problem. Now you might be thinking, Shane, there's a lot of boring niches you've shown me, but I really don't have anything going for me, right? I'm not like a relationship expert. I don't know anything about planes. I'm not a senior. I'm not a good storyteller. I can't tell bedtime stories. And I'm not a cyber security expert. I don't have anything going for me. What should I do? Right? Maybe you're working a dead-end 9 toive job that you're having trouble escaping from and you just have nothing going for you. Well, that's exactly what niche number seven is. And basically what this is is retail job vlogging, showing how bad your job is. And this is a channel called Ian on YouTube that I'm going to use as an example for this. And he literally just films himself at his retail job, right? His most popular video is why I am 30 years old working a dead-end retail job. and it just shows him talking to the camera and it's all about his frustrations with retail work. The rude customers, the low pay, the dead-end feeling. And there's no fancy editing, no B-roll, and the thumbnail is just a screenshot of the video. And he made between $7,800 and $21,000 in a month. Plus, he gets donations from viewers in his comments. And we're not talking just $5 donations here. We're talking $500 donations. Like, he's maxing out on those donation buttons. And why is that? Well, because people relate to his struggle and they send him money to help him quit retail. Now, why does this work? Well, millions of people work retail jobs and they feel trapped and frustrated. Or people that escaped retail jobs remember how it felt when they were in a dead-end job. And Ian gives them a voice. He says what they're all thinking and his audience sees themselves in his videos and they watch because it's therapeutic. Finally, someone who understands my pain. So, this is perfect for people who think I have nothing to talk about. Your boring job can be content. your daily struggles are relatable to millions of people out there. Now, you might be thinking, well, you know, he's doing that, but I can't do it cuz he's already doing it. Or, you know, he's American, so that would only work in America. Again, with all due respect, that is a limiting belief. Just as an example, there's this channel right here, Salary Man Tokyo, that's likely making close to six figures a year just showing their day-to-day life being a salary man in Tokyo. So, you can definitely do this, too. You just need the right guidance and the right niche that matches you and your skills. And that's exactly what I'm going to help you do this Tuesday, 9:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time in my free workshop. It's completely free. Check it out down in the description in the pin comment below. And I hope to see you there. Because all of these examples are examples of the beauty of what I like to call the hybrid personal brand. And this is where you basically combine the benefits of a personal brand with AI so that you can make YouTube videos fast, whereas it used to take you a ton of time, basically be another full-time job to make a YouTube channel. But these seven niches prove something important. You don't need to be entertaining to make money on YouTube. You just need to be helpful. So, pick a boring topic that you know something about. Use AI to help you create content. Stay consistent and the money will follow. And by the way, if you want help doing that, you can go ahead and book a clarity call with myself or my team by clicking the link down the description and the pin comment below. And that'll be a one-on-one call where we figure out where you are right now, where you want to be. We'll make a plan to get there, and we'll see if we're a good fit to work together or not.
