Pick 5 things about how you want to create. Get the top 3 YouTube niches matched to your fit, ranked by realistic income potential using real CPM data across 30 niches.
Once you've picked a niche, validate the income math with the CPM Calculator + Channel Revenue Projector. Then start scripting.
Each of 30 niches in the LensPOV CPM dataset is tagged across 5 axes (time-per-video commitment, on-camera comfort required, technical complexity, monetization-stream mix, audience-tier requirement). Your 5 quiz answers score each niche on alignment, then we rank by an income-potential score = niche median CPM × scoring multiplier × evergreen-vs-trendy factor. Top 3 returned. Estimated revenue assumes 100k monthly views (the rough mid-tier creator threshold); scale linearly for your actual traffic. Source dataset: LensPOV CPM by Niche 2026 (CC-BY 4.0).
