Digital gaming
This is a very popular and demanding segment that has dominated the YouTube platform for a long time. There is no indication of slowing down in demand for these kinds of channels and if you are a gamer who loves to play games then this should be your area to try on. You can open a channel related to gaming and videos for the users of this app.
Find out what type of games or in which game you are good or interested and map out the kinds of videos you would like to produce to upload in it. It may be a gameplay channel with some entertainment or you can share tricks and tips to complete any mission or task to finish a game comfortably. And the live streaming option is always there for gamers to show their gameplay live and playing multiplayer modes with other streamers.
The best part is, any YouTuber can open a second channel on gaming if they love to play games as many existing creators do.
Unboxing and Reviews
We purchase many things frequently in our life for various uses and unboxing a new gadget or any other thing provides us joy while we open it for the first time. This is the perfect moment to capture and show your viewers the natural reaction you would give upon opening the package to see the new product.
When we listen to the term unboxing we usually think of technical gadgets and related to tech. But, this is not the only genre you have to stick with for opening such channels. You can show any good product or expensive product by unboxing it and reviewing it at the time and after using it for some time. People usually look for reviews before buying anything expensive and YouTube is the perfect place for such reviews to get a clear picture.
Provide them your unboxing videos with reviews whenever you buy a product that is perfect for such topics. If you succeed in it then companies will send their products to you for unboxing and reviewing them and would offer you money.
Tutorial/How To/Tech
How many of you guys have taken the help of Google or YouTube to find out any solution regarding any technical or non-technical issues? I think almost every one of us is on the list of such people. YouTube is one of the best places to find out any tutorial or how-to videos to learn or fix any particular topic.
If you are a technical geek and have great knowledge of modern techs or software then it can be an ideal genre for you to assist people from your home. Make simple videos on how to do something without any difficulty and share them on YouTube.
With such videos, you can also share technical videos through the same channel on tech niches. They are pretty much the same in nature and would give you an extra layer of variation for your content. Tech topics are very demanding and people search for them very frequently as they need many technical tools to assist them in their daily lives.
Music
Music is an art and not everyone can do it properly. You have some skills to be a good musician and it takes years of practice to gain knowledge and authority on this art form. So, it is not for everyone to try on. A good musician can only think of owning a channel on music. Now you can showcase your special skill through this genre. You can record your singing and share them with people or if you are a composer then you can compose music and even you are an expert in playing any instrument like guitar or violin then share it.
Find out which type of music you want to share with your audience and produce it to upload. Parody music or remix is also an option if you want to entertain people with laugh and excitement. Start your music career over YouTube and who knows, you might become popular in the music industry.
Current affairs & News
The topic of current affairs & news is a very interesting thing is you can use it in two different ways. You can use it to share knowledge on what is happening around the world or you can have a debate or podcast in specific news to analyze different aspects of it. The value of channels on this topic is high within the app. You can target any audience base by selecting any specific type of your channel. You can cover the whole world or you can target your region providing news in your local language.
Current affairs are very demanding and useful to enhance your knowledge about the world and it might become helpful to crack any certain exams or interviews for many aspiring people. But try to avoid any sensitive issue or news as they can create any sort of problems and it is difficult to monetize such news channels.
Compilation/listing videos
A channel on this segment is one of the ideal things which you can do from your home desktop with some video editing and voiceover. A compilation channel creates videos on any topic by taking video clips from other sources and listing them together in their videos. You can select any topic or niche for making such videos. Create a list like top ten romantic movies or top five comic clips from other content creators etc to make a full list of it.
You can use it for sharing information or only for comedic purposes. So decide which type of listing videos you would like to make and work on it.
Cooking & Recipes
The world is filled with food lovers and there are many people who love to cook or try to invent new dishes to ease the hunger of foodies. Cooks who want to share their cooking skills and dishes with people can open a cooking & recipe channel to share their knowledge and lovely meals. You just need a good-looking kitchen or you can set up a corner of your home like the studio-type kitchen to shoot your cooking videos and share new recipes with your viewers.
If you feel comfortable in it then you can also scale it by doing some food vlogging visiting restaurants and food corners. It will also help you to overcome the fear of making videos in front of many people.
Home/Lifetyle vlog
Any person who is desperate to make videos from their sweet and comfortable homes can start daily vlogs from their cribs share their life with the audience.

You can also record group dancing if you have a team of dancers or you can teach people dancing using the same platform. And similarly, like music, you can get into the dancing industry and make a name for yourself with the help of this platform.
