Three vlog super niches with high chances of success on YouTube

Within YouTube, certain niches perform amazingly well. Meaning that if you dedicate yourself to uploading at least one video a week, be highly focused on your super niche and create great quality content. Chances are extremely high that you can live off your YouTube channel within a year.


Super niche YouTube

So here we share three super niches on YouTube you could choose from to start your channel and live from it within a year.



Refitting a sailing yacht


Sailing is a highly saturated vlogging niche. There are a lot of sailing channels and only a few are performing amazingly. There are a dozen performing pretty well and a lot of other channels struggle with growth every month.


But there is this one super niche that skyrockets any channel within YouTube - if you do it right: SEO, quality content and consistency.


YES refitting sailing yacht - every channel that has done a refit and documented it, grew very fast in subscribers and views. If you can make it into at least a one year project (52 videos) you can hit 100k subscribers and live from the ad income.


Examples of YouTube channels with long term refit projects:


Examples of YouTube channels with short term refit projects


In both genres - long term and short term you see a tremendous increase in subscribers and views. But most chances of succes is a one year project!


Slow living/Cottage core


This was the most trending super niche in 2021 and probably will be pretty amazing in 2022. This is about a way of living and editing that fits within this niche.


Example YouTube channels
