Selecting the content niche in YouTube is the foremost task and the first step to become a legitimate content creator. This is also the important decision for any creator because once a particular type of niche is chosen, it is necessary to stick to it throughout, otherwise chances are that the aspiration of becoming a successful creator may come to an end.

The following criteria must be taken into consideration before taking this decision.

Interest

The primary criteria for choosing a particular niche is to see whether it gives excitement or interest to the creator. The selected niche should be such, that it drives the person to create more and more content for the same and upload it regularly on the channel. So niche should not be selected just because it looks profitable, it should hold the creator’s interest.

Knowledge or Experience

A niche should not be explored without having any prior experience on it, as it is equivalent to aim at a target with blindfolds on. Some knowledge or familiarity need to exist before moving ahead with a niche. Just watching many videos belonging to that particular niche would not do the trick. The creator need to be well-versed on the things that he/she like to bring forward to the audience.

Competition

This point is also crucial when deciding the content niche. Competition has a large part to play on the viewership number and the growth of the channel in the long run. A niche already possessing cut throat competition is better to avoid as it will not grant many views. Like during the pubg fame, many channels started uploading videos of pubg, but only a few could survive because of the competition.

Keeping the abovethings in mind one should select the content niche. Alongside the above points, one should always remember that success of a channel depends on the authenticity and truth that a creator brings to the table. Most of the niches are already been on some channel or the other, but inspite of it, bringing an unique edge to a pre-established niche, can grab the attention of the viewers.
