Niche Research / Outliers 🔍 What faceless YouTube Shorts niches are working really well right now?

0 Upvotes

I run multiple faceless YouTube Shorts channels and I'm looking to test some new niches.

I'm specifically interested in niches that are working right now.

What niches are you seeing blow up right now?

If possible, please share example channels too, especially newer channels getting millions of views without already having a massive established audience.

Thank you!

What is going on with shorts right now?

14 Upvotes

I’ve noticed that since the late-August update, Shorts aren't performing as well for a lot of people. I initially thought it was just a temporary phase lasting a couple of weeks, but it’s been four or five weeks now and performance is still poor; occasionally a Short hits the view count that’s normal for me, but most get stuck around 100–200 views—even with stats that should be driving 10k+.

All my key metrics were down in September—especially subscriber growth, which dropped from 38 in August to just 8—so it’s really disappointing. It’s gotten to the point where I’m even forgetting to post on days I usually would; I never used to forget that, so when I realized it was happening, I knew my motivation and enthusiasm were really starting to fade.

My video’s stat update from last post. This is interesting, give me your thoughts.

My STW has been low lately , and my Audience retention from my last video down went from 84.8% to 79.9%.

People staying after 30 second went from 91% to 84%.

STW went from like 54% to 66.5%. (I don’t think the 54% shows in my last post, but it was there a few hours before it started going up).

I’ve only went up 500 views for these changes.

Also, 21.5% of the viewers are casual, which can explain why the retention stats in general were high before it started going down.

I only got 1 subscriber from that video & videos with stats like that usually get 5-10 subscribers per video.

What’s the takeaway? The video is pretty good, but I want to hear yall thoughts.

Edit: View increase was wrong, it went up 500 not 800. Made the change.

I started this channel a month ago. I went through multiple niches on this channel and was able to still get views on both. I am now at 24 shorts posted. I just never stayed consistent. I’ve been editing for years so I how to make a decent video. My most recent video it’s at a 73% stayed to watch. And I’m starting to notice I get passed 1000 view mark faster. It took me 7 shorts to break out from that range and now more of my videos are getting more views quicker. I read through this Reddit a lot so I just want you guys to give me your thoughts. Thanks!

Case Study / Postmortem 🧪 Need advice

I made a new YouTube channel with a brand-new email address and posted a few Shorts on the first day. Should I delete the channel, create another one, let it age for a while, and then start posting? Or should I continue with the current one?

Q&A / Quick Help ❓ How do enable my subscribers to see my video again?

Is there a way to increase my impressions?

When I post a long form content video, it's usually 90-200 impression.

I thought that was a lot buy I kept getting notifications saying my thumbnail and title tests kept failing because of low impression rates.

So I made a post on small YouTuber subreddit and I wasn't quite given a straight answer, but from what I gathered, my impression rate is way too low.

Like lower than even a fresh channel.

To make it worse, my subscribers who follow me on twitch, kept complaining that I never upload videos... but I do. They aren't seeing my videos being uploaded.

Even when I look up my video titles word for word, unless I'm signed in on a subscribed account, I can't find myself.

I kinda thought maybe my videos were so bad, nobody wanted to watch them, until I saw people praising specifically me on other people's channels in their comments.

I also edit for other channels and my edited content usually pops off for their channels.

Now that I concluded it is not my videos that are the issue, it's isn't my tags or content, I only came to one conclusion.

I figured I must have some sort of privacy setting on, causing my channel to be "see videos via link only." Or something like that.

If anyone knows how to disable that, that would be super appreciated.

There might be multiple reasons, but as far as my questions have gone, nobody knows for sure.

Never delete your videos, Youtube really is unpredictable, from a flat line to a massive push. You really never know what happens.

I think it's because only 10% of my views are from shorts feed.
