21 Weird Niches Nobody Respects… That Pay 5-6 Figures/Month

So, I found 21 weird YouTube niches where you'd probably be embarrassed to tell your parents that you're doing it. Or if somebody asked you at dinner what you do for a living, you'd probably just lie and tell them that you do something else. Because, to be honest, probably nobody respects these niches, but they still pay five or even six figures a month. So, yeah, these are going to be super weird niches that may inspire you or give you ideas on something that you could start or how you could pivot your channel. And if you appreciate me doing these types of videos, let me know by gently tapping that like button. And let's jump into it right after a quick disclaimer. These YouTube niches will likely inspire, motivate, and hopefully this video will also educate you on what works and what doesn't work. But the truth is, most YouTube channels do not work. I failed five times before one of my channels was successful, just as an example. And most people who try to start on YouTube fail as well, just like any other business out there. And I don't want you to have to fail five times, which is why I make these videos to increase your chances of success. And more than that, I actually do completely free live workshops. And the next one is happening this week. So click the link in the description and the pin comment below to attend it. In this workshop, we're going to help you to pick your niche, set your channel up for success from the beginning, pick the right video ideas, and give you a step-by-step guide for how you can actually be successful with this. And then at the end, I'm going to be doing a Q&A where you can ask me literally any question you want. So, you absolutely cannot miss out on this. It's a one-time event only happening this week. Click the link in the description in the pin comment below to attend. And with that being said, let's jump into it with number one on the list, which is Jeffrey X, who is making $123 to $369,000 a month, holding water inside of his mouth like this, and then trying not to laugh while watching funny videos. Yeah, I'm I'm not even kidding here. Now, here's his most viewed video, and here's how much he made from it. Absolutely wild for one video. So, it's kind of like a try not to laugh challenge, but if he does laugh, the water like squirts out of his mouth. So, it adds a lot of intrigue to the video and suspense to the video, weirdly enough. What is the sound of one hand clapping? I I don't know. What is the sound of? But still, I mean, he's literally just watching memes for a living. All right, quick break, guys. I'm hanging out with my brother Zach right now. He is not a tech guy at all and he just made $214 in a single day, one month after starting on YouTube. And this week on Sunday at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time, we are hosting a free live workshop called the YouTube content advantage for making money in 2026. It's happening on April 5th, 2026.

So, you'll also be able to ask me questions live. So, I'll see you Sunday this week. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming. And he's not the only one. There are tons of other channels like this, like Laugh Trapped, who makes $8,000 to $25,000 a month. Kind of the same thing, but doesn't even have to show their face. or the meme sheep who makes 7 to $21,000 also doesn't show their face but has a lot of that same type of content or fail army who makes 47 to $140,000 a month. Now, this one is a little bit less meme related and a little bit more slapstick, like you know, crazy things happening to people like cars, you know, falling into a sinkhole. And yeah, 47 to $140,000 a month. Here's their most viewed video, and here's how much it made. Wild. And it's not just memes and slapstick. Here's a super niche channel, Doorbell Fails, which is kind of the same thing, but it's specifically from doorbells. And they're making about $3 to $9,000 a month. And most of these are considered to be reaction channels. And I would say probably the king of reaction channels right now on YouTube is Asmin Gold TV. This is just one of his channels. He's got many of them. And it's making 95 to $284,000 a month, except for a few small problems. The margins are piss poor. And then according to view stats, he's making way more. About $311 to $862,000 a month. And just to put this in perspective, this is just one of his channels. He's got like three or four different channels that are all making around the same amount of money. So he's likely making over a million dollars a month just from AdSense alone with his different channels on YouTube. So yeah, I think you get the point here. A lot of these channels are kind of in the same genre. Basically reaction, funny things happening or weird or controversial things happening and basically just reacting to it. It's it's mostly entertainment content. Now, another genre is just cat videos and pet videos in general. This is one of the oldest genres on the internet and it's still doing pretty well. For instance, the pet collective 87 to $262,000 a month. Here's their most popular video and here's how well it did. Pretty good money for one video, I have to say. But also newer channels like Stray Paw Clips, they're making about $3 to $8,000 a month. And this is specifically cats and it's specifically stray cats. And usually they actually follow these stray cats for a long period of time and actually catch up with them. And so it's sort of like telling a story. So it's a very interesting channel and a very different way of doing these types of videos. And then of course there's a guy who just puts his cat into like a bunch of different movies. So he basically figures out how to like enter his cat into a bunch of these different movies. It's pretty hilarious. So for instance, Jurassic Park but with a cat. and he makes about $2 to $7,000 a month doing that. And this 55 million view video made a lot of money. And then of course there's also timelapse channels. So I'm sure you've seen a million of these. This is a relatively new one. So I'll just kind of show you with this one got it's making about $4 to $11,000 a month. And again, these are all uh just from AdSense alone. If you monetize these channels correctly, you could probably make a lot more than that. But here's their most viewed video. how long a McDonald's paper cup holder can hold liquid. 4K time lapse and it got 26 million views. But they also have meal worms eating different stuff like Carolina Reapers or whole watermelons. And then there's this guy who took a picture every single year since he was 12 years old. And so he's taken a picture for 15 years straight, every single day since he was 12 years old. and he's making about3.5 to $9.7,000 a month. And his most viewed video got 277 million views and made $1.4 million. Hopefully that made him smile cuz he looks like kind of an angry guy. But yeah, I think you get the point. Uh time-lapse content can be really good on YouTube. And by the way, guys, the whole point I'm trying to make with this video is that it's the idea for your channel that matters. A lot of these channels I'm showing you do not have good production quality. They don't have incredible thumbnails. They don't have insanely good video editing, any of that stuff. It's literally just the idea. It's the idea that matters on YouTube. Both the idea for your channel as well as the idea for your individual videos. That's the most important thing by far. And that's something I'm going to be covering in the live training that I'm doing this week. So, do not miss out on it. Click that link in the description and the pin comment below. All right, next is ASMR videos and specifically we're going to be talking about gentle whispering ASMR. So, this channel is making about $10 to $31,000 a month and she does all kinds of different ASMR type videos. So, obviously she'll sometimes like talk to the camera and she's got like a really good recorder so it captures her voice really well. But her most popular video is literally just doing haircut and shampooing. Is this the first time in my salon? It got 43 million views and made a ton of money. Now, there are tons of different ASMR channels out there. I tried to show some of the more unique ones. You know, here's another one for instance, and it's not just sound, but it's also drawing ASMR, which is pretty interesting. And they're making 40 to $120,000 a month. So, for instance, this was one of their most popular videos, Big Fidget Board Toy ASMR. and they kind of do like drawing tutorials a little bit, but at the same time it's ASMR. So basically it's like toy ASMR stuff with journaling involved as well. And yeah, they're absolutely crushing it, making like 40,000 to $120,000 a month. So yeah, obviously at this point, you can't just do like a generic ASMR channel. You got to like niche down just like this channel did. You have to do a special type of ASMR, but it's still very viable. Another type of channel that's absolutely crushing it, and this one just blows my mind, but it's basically just quiz channels where they kind of just ask you random different questions. It's kind of like u trivia night type of thing and uh you just watch the videos and see if you can get the questions right. And this channel is making 9 to $27,000 a month. And their most popular video is guess the logo in 3 seconds. 100 famous logos. 15 million views. made a lot of money. Another kind of similar channel is Banana Biceps. They're making about 27 to $82,000 a month and it's more of kind of like a challenge style content. Say the word on beat challenge, easy, medium, hard, and you're basically just trying to say these words like really, really quickly. 3.4 million views. I mean, the channel's crushing it. They're making 27 to $82,000 a month. It's pretty simple content to make as well. All right, next is sort of hobbyist style content and you would just not believe how many weird hobbies that people have that they're able to just post about on YouTube and just crush it. So, this one's virtual rail fan and it's a channel that literally just takes videos of trains and railroads that are probably just available to the public, edits those videos a tiny tiny little bit, like barely any editing whatsoever, posts them on YouTube and makes a ton of money doing it. They're making 20 to $59,000 a month doing this. Uh it's a pretty weird obsession to have, I suppose. Like, you know, I guess these people are just like obsessed with railroads and so they just love watching trains. And this channel is making a ton of money supplying that demand for people who are obsessed with trains and railroads. You know, might be a little bit embarrassing to talk about at a dinner party, but hey, if that's your thing, that's your thing. Here's another channel that does the same exact thing, but it's toy railroads and toy trains and sometimes toy Hot Wheels as well. For instance, Hot Wheels Water Ride got 165 million views and it made a ton of money and it's literally just a tiny little camera strapped onto a Hot Wheels. And this channel is making 75 to $226,000 a month. And I could show you a bunch of other weird hobbyist channels that are crushing it, but yeah, I think you get the point, guys. It's all about the idea. I work with people all the time helping them find the right ideas so they can set their channel up for success the right way. So, make sure you attend the live training. Click the link in the description in the pin comment below so you can choose the right niche, choose the right ideas. Oh, and by the way, we're giving away an AI that literally helps you to choose your niche. It's like one of the greatest AIs. We get tons of comments saying they absolutely love this AI. And we're giving away the latest version of it. It's actually been updated. So, make sure you click the link in the description in the pin comment below to get a hold of that because that has single-handedly helped hundreds of people pick their niche. All right, so the next one is the deal guy, and he is basically obsessed over helping people get the best deals at these different stores like Costco and Walmart and, you know, Sam's Club and like all these different stores typically in the US. 10 huge insider savings secrets for Costco. And he's making $9,000 to $26,000 a month. And honestly guys, all he does is he goes to the website and looks at their deals section and then he just makes videos about it. It's like dead simple content. Another one is Glamour Dive or Glamour Dive and she literally just dumpster dives and she pulls stuff out of the dumpster and then she like sells it online and she just records herself doing it. So she's already going to be doing it anyways, but she just records herself doing it and makes a ton of money. These might just be fake ones for display, but I'm going to take them. And she's making like 16 to $47,000 a month. And then there's this channel, Safal Burger POV, that literally just flips burgers on camera with POV. It's like a camera probably attached to his shirt right here. And he just flips burgers for a living. And people love to watch it. And he's making $3 to $9,000 a month. So he's literally just doing what he would have been doing anyways. and he's making a ton of money and he is not afraid to say that he flips burgers for a living and that's awesome. And it's not just him. There's tons of people doing this. For instance, unclogging drains for a living. People just literally record themselves unclogging drains and they get, you know, hundreds of thousands or even millions of views, right? This one right here got 1.7 million views. And there's a ton of channels doing this all over the world. Or you can just help people get into whatever career that you're in. You literally just teach other people how to get into the career just like my brother Zach did. Now, my brother Zach was 50 years old. He started this channel about 8 months ago, not techsavvy, never made a video in his life, at least not a YouTube video, maybe a recorded video on his phone. Wasn't even a YouTube person, more of a TV and a Netflix type person. And the very first video he uploaded got over 800,000 views, blew his channel up. I'm giving you the trades that are actually paying the most right now that nobody's talking about. One month after uploading this video, he had a $214 day. And that's just from AdSense alone. He was making money from other stuff as well. A bit after that, he had over a $500 day. And I'm actually going to be updating how he's doing because he was basically a case study for me to showcase to people how easy it is to get results on YouTube. So, I'm going to update how he's doing during the live training. Click that link in the description in the pin comment below. With that being said, guys, I know that 99% of people that watch the channel are never going to work with me one-on-one like Zach did. But if you want to work with myself or my team one-on-one, if you're very serious about growing and making money on YouTube, and you're very serious about starting now, and you're one of these four types of people, then click the link in the description in the pin comment below.
