How to check a niche in ten minutes
- Search the topic on YouTube and note the suggestions that appear as you type.
- Open three channels in the niche. Look at their most popular videos from the past year, not all time.
- Ask: can I make a video better or different from these? Different counts: another language, another region, another format.
