I'm BEGGING you to look up what YouTube pays per 1,000 views in different niches before you pick what to make videos about
This is the single most important number in the entire YouTube business model and almost nobody checks it before starting
Entertainment: $2-4
Gaming: $3-5
Vlogs: $4-6
Reactions: $3-5
Now look at the niches nobody wants:
Medicare supplements: $44
Estate planning: $38
Commercial insurance: $35
Business tax strategy: $32
HVAC repair: $28
Assisted living: $26
Septic and well water: $24
Farm equipment: $22
That's not a typo. $44 per thousand views vs $3 per thousand views. The exact same platform. The exact same algorithm. The exact same upload button
A gaming channel needs 1,000,000 views to make $3,000
A Medicare channel needs 68,000 views to make $3,000
And the Medicare channel has maybe 12 competitors in the entire United States while the gaming channel has 45,000
But this is where it gets stupid:
The $44 CPM is just the ad money. The viewers in these niches are about to spend $5,000-$200,000 on the thing you're explaining to them. The ad revenue is a tip. The real money is what happens after they watch
A roofer with 3,000 subscribers who answers "how much does a new roof cost" gets calls from homeowners about to spend $14,000. Every video is a free sales rep that works at 3am
A financial advisor with 5,000 subscribers who answers "should I do a Roth conversion" gets appointments from retirees managing $400,000+ portfolios. One client is worth $5,000-$15,000 a year in advisory fees
An HVAC company with 2,000 subscribers who answers "heat pump vs furnace" gets calls from homeowners about to spend $8,000-$15,000. Those viewers aren't subscribing to an HVAC channel. They're panicking because their furnace died in January and they need someone who knows what they're talking about
The leads close at 2-3x the rate of ad leads because the buyer watched you explain their exact problem for 15 minutes before they called. The trust was built before the conversation started
How to find these niches yourself in 10 minutes:
1 → Open Google Keyword Planner (free with a Google Ads account you never have to fund). Type any service. Sort by "Top of page bid - high range." That column shows what advertisers pay per click. $50-200 per click = that niche pays $20-44 CPM on YouTube. The correlation is almost perfect
2 → Search that topic on YouTube. Count how many serious channels answer it. If there are fewer than 15, you have almost no competition for an audience advertisers are paying $50-200 a click to reach on Google
3 → Check the comments on the few channels that exist. Every question asked is a video idea nobody made yet. Every complaint is a positioning opportunity
The uglier the niche sounds the emptier it is and the higher it pays. This has been true for 8 years straight and nobody talks about it because making videos about septic systems and Medicare won't get you likes in a group chat
I build channels in these niches. The ones that sound like pamphlets in a doctor's waiting room. Because that's where the checks clear
(link in bio)
The dirtiest way to get 500,000+ views on YouTube is ripping stories from $20M founders on tiny podcasts that only got 300 views
Rich operators go on obscure industry podcasts every week and spill secrets people normally pay $25,000 a year in masterminds to hear
Because nobody watches those episodes, the transcripts are sitting in a public search engine waiting to be harvested:
When an 8-figure founder goes on a massive show with 500k listeners, he gives safe PR answers
When that same guy goes on his buddy's niche industry podcast that gets 280 views on YouTube, he relaxes and spends 45 minutes dropping his exact revenue numbers, customer acquisition costs, software stack, and legal loopholes
Almost nobody will ever hear that audio
Unless you know how to query the transcript database and repackage his story as your own YouTube video:
1. Go to listennotes. com or podscripts. co (they index word-for-word audio transcripts across millions of podcasts for free)
2. Search exact money phrases inside quotation marks to find guests dropping real numbers:
→ "we did $" + "a month"
→ "our profit margin is"
→ "cost per booked call"
→ "the loophole we used"
3. Look for episodes sitting under 1,000 views on YouTube where the guest is a legitimate operator in finance, e-commerce, software, real estate, or agencies
4. Rip the transcript and feed it into Claude with this packaging prompt:
"This is a raw podcast transcript where an operator explains how they [insert result]. Extract every specific number, tool name, chronological step, and counterintuitive mistake. Rewrite it into a fast-paced 12-minute YouTube script that opens with the biggest dollar anomaly in line 1 and holds the core mechanism until minute 4."
You walk on camera (or run a faceless breakdown) and look like an industry savant with insider case studies nobody else has seen
When we used this deep-extraction scripting method for Jordan Welch, a single script we wrote for him pulled 923,000 views and ~$16,700 in pure AdSense
When we ran our first script for Inayah McMillan, it hit 1,185,797 views on a channel that was averaging 15,454 views per upload (a 76.7x outlier on video #1)
(we handle the entire research, scriptwriting, editing, titles & thumbnails for businesses doing $500k+/yr: 10 bangers in 90 days. DM me "YOUTUBE" & I'll send over the gameplan)
It's funny how you can legally steal the entire curriculum of an $80,000/month paid community in 4 minutes and use it to print money on YouTube
Every paid group on Skool has a public preview page that leaks their exact classroom modules before you even enter a credit card
And almost nobody realizes what happens when you turn those modules into free videos:
Right now there are thousands of guys paying $99 to $299/month to sit inside private Skool groups for e-commerce, AI agencies, tax strategy, trading, and real estate
The owners of those groups spent years and $100k+ in ad spend figuring out the exact questions beginners will pay cash to solve
And you can rip their entire validated syllabus in 4 clicks:
1. Go to skool. com/discovery and pick a high-cashflow category (Business, Career, Tech, Finance)
2. Click any group in the top 50 that charges $49 to $199/month and has 500+ members (a group with 800 members at $99/mo is verified doing ~$80,000/month)
3. Click into their public preview & open the "Classroom" tab. They blur the actual video files to make you buy, and leave every single module name, week-by-week order, and lesson title completely visible as a sales pitch
4. Screenshot their entire Classroom tree and drop it into Claude with this prompt:
"Here is the exact paid curriculum of a $99/month community in [niche]. Turn each of these 6 modules into a 15-minute YouTube video script outline that gives away the actionable how-to steps for free, and position my [product/service/affiliate link] as the faster implementation tool at the 4-minute and 12-minute marks."
When you upload their $99/month curriculum on YouTube for free, two things happen at once:
First, every topic is already proven to attract people with credit cards in hand
Second, anyone searching for that community or topic finds your 18-minute free breakdown first, watches you give away the farm without holding back, and trusts you 10x more than the guy hiding basic info behind a paywall
That exact play (giving away the step-by-step implementation other people charge $97/mo for, then selling the high-ticket backend) is how we helped scale RP Profits from 8,000 to 47.9k subscribers and ~$200,000/month organically from YouTube

How @quazijohir Johir got over 46,000 views on the first video of a brand new channel...
Quazi has almost 1M subscribers on his main channel. It's mostly self-development and manifestation.
A friend connected us, and we got on a call.
And honestly, he was doing a lot right.
He understands how content works on YouTube better than most people I talk to.
But his main offer is for traders. He helps them with the mindset side.
And he was posting those trading videos on the same channel as everything else...
So he was getting good traffic ofc but He just wasn't separating it.
The people who'd actually buy were mixed in with 900K people who came for manifestation.
After the call I sent him an outline. Start a second channel, just for trading.
Take the angles that already went viral on the main channel, point them at traders, then funnel down into videos that drive conversions.
He's not making more trading videos than before. They just live on a channel where every viewer could be a buyer.
The first one was a collab from his main channel to get it moving. That's the 46K.
The next 2 did around 6K each. That's the real starting point once you stop borrowing the big audience, and that's fine.
Honestly the 46K video probably isn't the best one for conversions. But it built the audience, and now he can slowly split it and eventually stop collaborating.
That's when it starts working.
To be clear, we're not working together. He's a good friend, I just gave him the outline. All credit to his team.
YouTube is just a strategy game.
And a big part of the strategy is the first video a buyer sees from you, and what they see right after it.
Because nobody buys after 1 video.
They find you, they binge 4 or 5, then they see your shorts, your tweets, and they book a call months later.
So think about what was happening on Quazi's main channel.
A trader finds him through a trading video. Perfect.
Then the next videos YouTube recommends are about manifestation...
The binge breaks. He stops looking like the guy who's going to fix their trading.
On the new channel, every video they click next is about trading. The binge keeps going, and that binge is what turns into a call.
That's also why views alone don't tell you much here. 6K traders who watch 5 videos each are worth way more than 50K people who came for something else.
So yeah. Separate the traffic first, then worry about views.

Video Editors, we are hiring again!
Last time I posted this we got around 1,000 applications and several new team members.
We edit long-form videos with heavy motion graphics for 7-figure YouTube channels.
We’re looking for editors who are:
→ Strong in After Effects + long-form editing
→ Responsible and deliver consistently
→ In a US or European time zone
→ Fluent in English
Pay: up to $300 per video, depending on skill.
Don’t apply if you don’t use After Effects or your time zone is far from the US/Europe.
Check the offer below and apply 📷
I need to tell you about something that feels a bit dirty but is completely public
Every 1 star review your competitor has ever received is sitting on Google right now, sorted for you, and it's a list of the exact videos that would take their customers...
Go to your biggest competitor's Google listing. Click the reviews. Sort by "Lowest"
What you're reading is people describing, in their own words, the thing they wanted & didn't get. With dates. For free
"Never called me back"
"Quoted $4k, final bill was $7k"
"Took 9 weeks instead of 3"
"Couldn't get a straight answer on what was included"
Each one of those is a fear your next customer already has before he picks up the phone
How to turn it into videos:
1. Read the worst 50 reviews across your top 3 competitors
2. Tally the complaints. You'll get 5 or 6 that keep coming up
3. One video per complaint, titled as the fear. "Why remodel quotes double halfway through (and how to stop it)". "How long should a roof replacement actually take"
4. In the video, explain why it happens in your industry, how to spot it before you sign & exactly what you do instead. Show the contract clause, the schedule, the invoice
5. Never name the competitor. You don't need to. The customer who just read those reviews will recognise it in 10 seconds
Then check Yelp, Trustpilot, Reddit & the BBB for the same thing
Why it works: the buyer is already nervous about getting burned, and you're the only company in town talking about how people get burned
Do your own 1 star reviews too. The complaint you'd rather not look at is the video your next customer most needs to see

A $4,500 YouTube video sold a razor company for $1 billion. It's 93 seconds long & it does 5 things almost no business video does...
Dollar Shave Club, 2012. The founder walked around his own warehouse talking to the camera. 12,000 orders in the first 48 hours & the site fell over. Unilever bought the company 4 years later for $1B
Gillette was spending hundreds of millions a year on ads at the time
What the video does:
1. Founder on camera. The guy who owns the thing is the one telling you about it, and you can tell
2. The price is in the first 10 seconds. "For a dollar a month". He never makes you hunt for it
3. It names what you're annoyed about. $20 razors, 10 blades, a vibrating handle nobody asked for
4. It says who you've been overpaying. One line & now you've got someone to be mad at
5. One thing to do at the end. One URL
No logo sting, no "welcome to our channel", no mission statement
Now the part people miss. That was 93 seconds for a $1 product. If you sell something that costs $3,000 the same 5 moves need 12 minutes, because the buyer has more questions & more to lose
Your version:
- You or the owner, talking normally, in the place the work happens
- Price or price range said out loud early
- The thing your buyer is sick of, in their words
- Who's been overcharging them for it & how
- Show it working
- One link, first line of the description
Most business videos are scared to say the price, scared to name a competitor & scared to put the boss on camera. That's the whole reason this one worked

A stranger will hand you $5,000 without being chased, followed up or "closed" if he's watched about an hour of you first. That's most of the trick behind every tiny YouTube channel making stupid money...
Scott Taylor has 35.7K subscribers & his channel does ~$40K a month. One of his videos has 37.3K views & booked about 10 sales calls
RP Profits has 47.9K subscribers & does ~$200K a month with no paid ads
Those are small channels. The viewers just spent a long time with them before they ever got in touch
Think about what a cold lead knows about you. A headline & a photo. So the call is 50 minutes of proving you're not a scam
Now think about the guy who's watched 4 of your videos. He's heard you explain his problem, seen your face for an hour, knows your price range & has already decided you know more than him. The call is "when can we start"
So the job is getting one person to an hour. Here's how:
1. Every video ends by pointing at ONE next video, out loud. "If that was you, watch this next". The subscribe ask can go
2. Put your 5 best in a playlist called "Start here" & link it in every description
3. Make them in a chain. Video 1 is the problem. Video 2 is what fixing it costs. Video 3 is a client who did it. Video 4 is who it's wrong for
4. 12-20 minutes each. Four of those is your hour
5. Put "which video did you watch?" on your booking form. You'll see the same 3 titles over and over. Make more of those
A view count tells you how many people glanced. Watch time tells you how many are getting ready to pay
20 people a month reaching that hour is a very good business
(we build & run YouTube channels at Viral Bangers for businesses that already sell something. ideas, scripts, editing, titles, thumbnails, 10 videos in 90 days. DM me PLAN & i'll show you how we'd run yours)
There's a 20 second window in every YouTube video where you can sell almost anything & the viewer is glad you did. Nearly everyone pitches in the wrong spot...
The wrong spots:
- The first 30 seconds. He doesn't trust you yet & he came for an answer
- The very end. Most of the audience left 4 minutes ago
- A separate "sponsor break" voice. He can hear the gear change & reaches for the skip button
The window is right after you've given him the first real win
He's just had the "oh, that's why" moment. He's thinking "this guy knows what he's talking about, what else does he know". That thought lasts about 20 seconds. That's when you say it
What to say, 3 sentences:
1. "That's the first step, and it's the one you can do yourself today"
2. "If you want [the full result] done for you, that's what we do at [name]"
3. "Link's the first thing in the description. Anyway, step two..."
Then straight back into the video. No pause, no music change, no slide
Why it works: you've already paid up front, so the pitch reads as the next helpful thing
The rest of the setup:
- Show the product or the result on screen while you say it
- Link goes in the FIRST line of the description. Line 4 is behind "show more" & nobody clicks that
- Same link in a pinned comment
- Say it again once near the end for the people who stayed, in one sentence
- One offer per video. Give him two links & he clicks neither
Go back through your last 5 videos & find the minute where you delivered the first real answer. If there's no offer within 20 seconds of it, that's where the sales went

The biggest mistake I see on YouTube is people not doubling down on what already worked.
Someone makes a video, it does 4x what that channel normally does, and then the next upload is about something completely different...
But more importantly
They NEVER do a similar video again.
I see this constantly, and it isn’t a strategy problem. It’s boredom.
The creator is sick of the topic months before the audience has even found it. You made that video. You edited it. You’ve seen it forty times. The guy who watched it on Tuesday has seen it once and wants another one.
You’re bored.
But new audiences or he are not.
And most people resolve that gap by making something new, which is exactly the wrong move.
And the clearest example It's my biz partner’s channel. Every time he uploads a full course, it goes MEGA viral.
Not sometimes. Every single time...
Most people would have looked at that after the second one and gone okay, cool, but what if we tried something different?
He just made another course.
And look, I’m not telling you to upload the same video on a loop forever.
What I’m saying is that when something works, almost nobody sits down and actually works out WHY it worked.
They just move on.
Which is the real skill here: Isolating.
Because there are a lot of variables in a video. The topic. The format. The runtime. The guest. The title structure. The thumbnail style.
1 of those did the work. The other 5 were along for the ride.
Repeat the wrong one and you’ll conclude the whole thing was a fluke.
So when a video overperforms, the question isn’t make another one like that. It’s which single thing in here would I keep if I could only keep one.
Then you keep that and change everything else.
And I’ll be straight about the other side of this, because people oversell it.
Formats decay. I’ve watched someone run the same title structure four times and go 565k, then 135k, then 115k, then 58k. Still working on the fourth one. Just a lot less.
So you don’t get infinite. You get maybe 3 or 4 good runs before it flattens out.
But 3 or 4 runs is enormous next to what most people get, which is one hit and then a year of guessing.
So the rule I’d give you is simple.
When something works twice, stop making new things. Turn it into a series, name it, number it, and run it until it stops.
Simple
You can literally take any TikTok that got 4 million views, make the 12 minute version of it for YouTube, and get paid many times over for an idea somebody else already proved...
TikTok pays pennies per 1,000 views on short clips. A long YouTube video aimed at adults pays roughly $10-30 per 1,000
So 4 million people told a TikToker they care about a topic & he got lunch money for it
Take the same topic to YouTube, do it properly at 12 minutes, and 200k views at $20 is about $4,000. For an idea you didn't have to guess
TikTok is a free focus group. YouTube is where the invoice gets paid
How to run it:
1. Scroll TikTok for 30 minutes. Screenshot every video over 500k views on a topic with depth behind it. Money, history, health, scams, how something works
2. Take the TOPIC & leave the clip alone. Reposting his video gets you a strike. The subject is free
3. Read the comments. The questions people ask under a 60 second video are the sections of your 12 minute one
4. Search the topic on YouTube. If the long version doesn't exist or it's from 2019, go
5. Script it as a story. What everyone believes, what's actually going on, what it costs you
6. Title it the way the TikTok hooked. That line already beat a million other videos
Why almost nobody does this: the TikTok crowd thinks YouTube is too much work & the YouTube crowd thinks TikTok is for kids. They never look at each other's homework
You don't need to be clever or original. 4 million strangers already voted on the idea

It's funny how a company will pay a salesman $150k a year to say the same 10 sentences on the phone 30 times a week, and never once point a camera at him...
Every business has this guy. He's answered "how much does it cost" 4,000 times. He knows the exact words that make people relax & he says them to one person at a time, then hangs up & says them again
That's about 1,500 calls a year repeating himself
Film him once & each answer becomes a video that gets watched by 300 people a month who'd otherwise have needed a phone call
How to do it in one afternoon:
1. Sit him down & ask "what are the 10 questions you get on every call". He'll list them in 90 seconds
2. One question at a time, camera on, you asking, him answering like you're the customer. 8-12 minutes each
3. Don't script him. The way he says it on the phone is the way that already works
4. Title each one as the question, in the customer's words. "How much does a new roof cost in 2026", "Is [your thing] worth it"
5. Booking link in the first line of every description
Then wire it into sales:
- Send the 3 most relevant videos when someone books a call
- Send the pricing one to anyone who asks for a quote
- Send the objection one when someone says "I need to think about it"
What changes: people turn up to calls already knowing the price, the process & the catch. The call is 15 minutes instead of 50. He closes more because he's only talking to people who watched & still showed up
And when he quits next year his 10 best answers don't leave with him

The George Foreman Grill sold over 100 million units off a 28 minute TV ad that ran at 3am. YouTube is that exact thing with free airtime & a search bar, and businesses use it to post a 40 second logo animation...
Infomercial guys worked out how to sell on video 40 years ago. They paid for every minute of airtime, so nothing stayed in unless it made the phone ring
What they knew:
1. Start with the problem, on screen. Burnt chicken, grease everywhere. Nobody saw the product for the first 2 minutes
2. Demo it. They never said "it drains fat". They tilted the grill & you watched it run off
3. Long sells expensive. A 30 second spot can sell a $2 chocolate bar. It took 28 minutes to sell a $60 grill to someone half asleep. Think what a $5,000 offer needs
4. Somebody like the buyer says it worked. A mum, a trucker, a guy in a small kitchen
5. Answer the objection before they think it. "But is it hard to clean?" Cut to the sink
6. Ask more than once. The offer came up 3 times because people tune in at different points
7. One thing to do next. One number on screen
Now look at a normal business YouTube video. Logo sting, "hey guys welcome back", 4 minutes about the company history, no demo, no proof, and "link in the description" mumbled over the outro
Your version:
- First 30 seconds: the problem, in the buyer's words
- Show the thing working, screen or camera
- One client result with a number
- The objection you hear on every call, answered
- The offer said out loud twice, once in the middle & once near the end
- Link in the first line of the description
Foreman made a couple hundred million off that grill. He had to buy the airtime

Facebook charges you every single time a stranger glances at your ad for 3 seconds. YouTube will show that same stranger 15 minutes of you for free, for years, and businesses keep picking Facebook...
Here's what the two actually are:
A Meta ad
- Costs money the moment anyone sees it
- Gets about 3 seconds
- Shown to people who weren't looking for you
- Gets tired in 2-3 weeks & you make another
- Stops dead the day your card declines
A YouTube video
- Costs nothing per view
- Gets 6-15 minutes
- Found by people who typed the question in
- Still pulling views in year 3
- Keeps going if you take a month off
One of those is rent. The other one you own
I'm not telling you to turn the ads off. Ads are fast, you can switch them on tomorrow & have leads by Friday. A video takes months to build up
But look at where the money ends up after 2 years. $5k a month on ads is $120,000 & the day you stop you've got nothing left to show for it. 50 videos over the same 2 years is a library that's still sending people to your calendar
The move that uses both:
1. Make the video first. 12 minutes answering the question your buyers ask most
2. Cut the best 30 seconds out of it. That's your ad
3. Point the ad at the full video, skip the landing page
4. Retarget everyone who watched more than half with the offer
5. Whatever topic gets the cheapest watch time, make 3 more videos on it
Now the ad spend is building something that stays up after you stop paying
A lead who's watched 12 minutes shows up to the call already knowing what you do & what it costs
