  • 00:00:00
    hi there Gareth of Channel profits here
  • 00:00:02
    now I've reviewed a ton of Evergreen
  • 00:00:04
    Niche ideas for YouTube automation
  • 00:00:06
    channels here but the one area I've been
  • 00:00:07
    avoiding so far has been trending niches
  • 00:00:10
    typically I prefer Evergreen niches and
  • 00:00:12
    topics as they withstand the test of
  • 00:00:14
    time and content can generate revenue
  • 00:00:16
    for years to come through search traffic
  • 00:00:19
    but with growing competition we need to
  • 00:00:21
    find new ways to stand out either with
  • 00:00:23
    our current Niche or when we're looking
  • 00:00:25
    for a new one to start for this reason I
  • 00:00:27
    feel it's important to tap into both
  • 00:00:28
    Evergreen and trending niches moving
  • 00:00:31
    forward it's the sweet spot where both
  • 00:00:32
    search and recommended traffic overlap I
  • 00:00:35
    briefly mentioned why you should do this
  • 00:00:37
    in other videos as well as going into
  • 00:00:39
    more detail in the channel profits
  • 00:00:40
    program but what I haven't covered here
  • 00:00:42
    is exactly how we can find trending
  • 00:00:44
    topics or niches for our channels so in
  • 00:00:47
    this video I'm going to be showing you
  • 00:00:48
    how I use Google Trends to find
  • 00:00:50
    Opportunities and ideas for new channel
  • 00:00:53
    or video angles as always if you would
  • 00:00:55
    like full step-by-step training on
  • 00:00:57
    building profitable YouTube channels
  • 00:00:58
    then check out the links in the video to
  • 00:01:00
    description with that said let's jump
  • 00:01:01
    into Google Trends and get started
  • 00:01:04
    okay so what you're going to want to do
  • 00:01:06
    is come into Google Trends and then once
  • 00:01:09
    inside we want to select the country
  • 00:01:10
    that we want to see the trending topics
  • 00:01:12
    inside so yes you could actually just
  • 00:01:14
    see on a World level but I'm assuming
  • 00:01:16
    that you want high cpms for your channel
  • 00:01:18
    so therefore you want to be looking at
  • 00:01:21
    the trending topics inside the country
  • 00:01:23
    or countries that you plan to Target so
  • 00:01:25
    for example a safe bet is always going
  • 00:01:27
    to be the United States so you could
  • 00:01:30
    just come into the United States select
  • 00:01:32
    that from the drop down up here and then
  • 00:01:34
    you could actually start to search and
  • 00:01:35
    see what's trending inside of America
  • 00:01:37
    because obviously if you're going to
  • 00:01:39
    create videos on topics that are
  • 00:01:40
    trending inside America then people
  • 00:01:42
    inside America are more likely to be
  • 00:01:44
    interested in your content and Google
  • 00:01:46
    and YouTube will be then sharing it out
  • 00:01:48
    and basically starting to push it
  • 00:01:50
    towards that particular audience so up
  • 00:01:52
    here select the country and then it will
  • 00:01:54
    say it here and then we can actually
  • 00:01:56
    start to explore and look at the
  • 00:01:58
    different ones in the side now before we
  • 00:01:59
    do that if you've watched any of my
  • 00:02:01
    videos on this channel you know that I'm
  • 00:02:03
    a firm believer and making sure that you
  • 00:02:05
    have an idea of how you plan to monetize
  • 00:02:07
    the Channel first before you start
  • 00:02:09
    driving down into the niche idea so you
  • 00:02:12
    perhaps hopefully have a general idea of
  • 00:02:15
    the niche that you want to Target it's a
  • 00:02:17
    very broad idea so let's say for example
  • 00:02:19
    you want to do one of the big three
  • 00:02:21
    which is health wealth and relationships
  • 00:02:23
    you could say okay I'm gonna go into
  • 00:02:25
    Health you would then want to go away
  • 00:02:27
    and start looking at the different
  • 00:02:28
    products that you could potentially sell
  • 00:02:30
    be it creating your own courses selling
  • 00:02:33
    your own products selling Drop Shipping
  • 00:02:35
    products or perhaps affiliate products
  • 00:02:37
    and programs courses softwares so you
  • 00:02:39
    want to see what's available for you to
  • 00:02:41
    sell for you to be able to add
  • 00:02:42
    additional revenue streams to your
  • 00:02:44
    channel and you always want at least one
  • 00:02:46
    additional Revenue stream other than
  • 00:02:48
    just say Google ads and YouTube ads okay
  • 00:02:51
    so once you've got that idea what we
  • 00:02:53
    want to do is come into explore
  • 00:02:58
    and you can obviously go for particular
  • 00:03:00
    Search terms but we don't know what we
  • 00:03:02
    don't know we want Google Trends to tell
  • 00:03:05
    us what's trending so we can then come
  • 00:03:06
    up with ideas for our channel so check
  • 00:03:09
    that it's still on United States check
  • 00:03:10
    for the past 12 months and then we want
  • 00:03:12
    to select categories so we want to come
  • 00:03:14
    up with some ideas so this is a great
  • 00:03:16
    place to start especially if you have a
  • 00:03:18
    general idea of what you want to go into
  • 00:03:20
    now so you'll still need to do your
  • 00:03:22
    Niche research to check the volume and
  • 00:03:24
    make sure that there's enough there to
  • 00:03:25
    build a channel around but otherwise
  • 00:03:27
    just come straight down and let's just
  • 00:03:29
    go down and you could say okay I'm going
  • 00:03:32
    to be doing something in Beauty and
  • 00:03:33
    fitness I'm going to be doing something
  • 00:03:35
    in business or computers or Finance
  • 00:03:38
    literally you've got all the different
  • 00:03:40
    options here health
  • 00:03:42
    so for the sake of this training let's
  • 00:03:44
    go into jobs and education
  • 00:03:47
    and I always like to start with web
  • 00:03:49
    searches web searches are going to give
  • 00:03:51
    you a more accurate idea of what people
  • 00:03:53
    are searching for now on Google and
  • 00:03:55
    there's always a an overlap between
  • 00:03:57
    Google and YouTube but then we also have
  • 00:03:59
    the option of then going in and
  • 00:04:01
    searching the YouTube part afterwards
  • 00:04:02
    now this is never as targeted as the web
  • 00:04:05
    search it pulls up a lot of general
  • 00:04:07
    information that doesn't seem relevant
  • 00:04:10
    to the niche but it is good for seeing
  • 00:04:12
    what people are still searching for
  • 00:04:13
    within this Niche when we drill down
  • 00:04:16
    into the YouTube side so start with web
  • 00:04:19
    what you're going to see here is it's
  • 00:04:20
    going to show you the top trending
  • 00:04:22
    topics for both search queries so this
  • 00:04:25
    is the sort of keywords and questions
  • 00:04:27
    that people have and then you've got the
  • 00:04:29
    overall topics that people are searching
  • 00:04:31
    for so the topics and then the questions
  • 00:04:33
    people have or the things they're
  • 00:04:35
    searching for within those topics
  • 00:04:37
    now it says Rising here
  • 00:04:39
    Rising will be what's suddenly gonna
  • 00:04:42
    arise what's getting more so if we click
  • 00:04:44
    here you'll see it is the stuff that
  • 00:04:45
    basically has had a big increase in
  • 00:04:47
    frequency but that doesn't mean that
  • 00:04:49
    over the last 12 months it's it's going
  • 00:04:51
    up all the time it may have just had a
  • 00:04:53
    spike and it may be on the way back down
  • 00:04:56
    again and we could look at that and I'd
  • 00:04:58
    like to see some overlap what I prefer
  • 00:05:00
    to Target is top and then I can look at
  • 00:05:02
    Rising afterwards
  • 00:05:04
    so if we start with top
  • 00:05:08
    then this will show us the top 100
  • 00:05:10
    things that people are actually
  • 00:05:11
    searching for
  • 00:05:13
    so the main ones in the top areas here
  • 00:05:15
    within jobs in education are School
  • 00:05:18
    College Secondary School
  • 00:05:23
    salary indeed which is a website career
  • 00:05:28
    teacher so these are all the sort of
  • 00:05:29
    topics you would expect to see inside
  • 00:05:31
    student course education school
  • 00:05:34
    districts
  • 00:05:36
    so these are all great but now we want
  • 00:05:37
    to drill down a bit further and look at
  • 00:05:39
    what people are actually searching for
  • 00:05:41
    so we've got school jobs Google
  • 00:05:43
    Classroom indeed
  • 00:05:45
    tests Academy
  • 00:05:48
    so your interviews teachers and pay for
  • 00:05:50
    teachers all right so if we wanted to go
  • 00:05:52
    a bit deeper into any of these topics we
  • 00:05:55
    could then come across and we could
  • 00:05:56
    perhaps look at the rising things to see
  • 00:05:58
    if there's anything newer
  • 00:06:01
    and let's look for some overlap and what
  • 00:06:03
    I notice is that chat GPT is a rising
  • 00:06:06
    thing on just about every single topic
  • 00:06:08
    out there so we know AI is going to have
  • 00:06:11
    a rising Trend in all different niches
  • 00:06:13
    out there
  • 00:06:14
    so let's come down
  • 00:06:18
    okay there's lots of things about tests
  • 00:06:20
    and exams
  • 00:06:24
    so we've got chat GPT
  • 00:06:27
    plagiarism Checker okay this is
  • 00:06:29
    interesting so I for example now have
  • 00:06:31
    seen that we've got plagiarism Checker
  • 00:06:33
    we've got people that were talking about
  • 00:06:36
    tests and exams
  • 00:06:38
    probably got assignments we've got chat
  • 00:06:39
    GPT so you can start to see okay there's
  • 00:06:42
    some overlap that people are interested
  • 00:06:43
    in chat GPT they're obviously interested
  • 00:06:45
    in plagiarism Checkers so perhaps say
  • 00:06:48
    students are using chat GPT to do some
  • 00:06:52
    of their work so maybe you could have a
  • 00:06:54
    student channel that is helping students
  • 00:06:57
    to be more efficient and then also you
  • 00:07:00
    could start that Channel with the idea
  • 00:07:01
    of starting to show them how to use chat
  • 00:07:04
    gbt and also use plagiarism Checkers to
  • 00:07:07
    be able to leverage the AI and perhaps
  • 00:07:10
    get away with it to to be able to help
  • 00:07:12
    them to write better assignments and
  • 00:07:15
    pass tests and learn more so perhaps you
  • 00:07:17
    could actually use chat GPT to help them
  • 00:07:19
    learn more so maybe there's some overlap
  • 00:07:21
    there between say doing homework and
  • 00:07:24
    assignments but also using it as a
  • 00:07:25
    learning tool to be more effective so
  • 00:07:27
    let's go back to top
  • 00:07:30
    okay so let's go into a course and see
  • 00:07:32
    what we get here
  • 00:07:35
    so what you want to see and the reason I
  • 00:07:37
    like top is the top ones is that you're
  • 00:07:40
    going to see you're going to get more
  • 00:07:41
    stable lines for example if we were
  • 00:07:43
    going with a rising star you might see a
  • 00:07:45
    spike going up and then it's already
  • 00:07:47
    starting to go down what we want is
  • 00:07:49
    Evergreen stability so we're looking for
  • 00:07:51
    trending topics that overlap with
  • 00:07:53
    Evergreen because Evergreen will help us
  • 00:07:55
    grow a channel that is getting views for
  • 00:07:58
    years to come rather than just being
  • 00:07:59
    like a news channel where your content
  • 00:08:01
    goes up gets a load of views and then
  • 00:08:03
    isn't relevant anymore so we can see
  • 00:08:05
    this is pretty stable it has the odd
  • 00:08:07
    Peak but it's just sort of continuing
  • 00:08:09
    across this line which is a good thing
  • 00:08:12
    so we come down we can see which areas
  • 00:08:14
    are searching for this more
  • 00:08:16
    and let's have a look
  • 00:08:19
    okay so you've got nursing so nursing
  • 00:08:21
    could be an idea so again these are
  • 00:08:23
    rising course careers
  • 00:08:26
    courses at Browns so different courses
  • 00:08:28
    you can make videos on the different
  • 00:08:29
    courses available at different
  • 00:08:31
    universities the schedule of classes so
  • 00:08:34
    perhaps let's let's go back into top
  • 00:08:36
    again
  • 00:08:37
    so we can actually see
  • 00:08:42
    what the more stable topics are
  • 00:08:46
    so we got college classes courses course
  • 00:08:50
    catalog free courses
  • 00:08:53
    so these are a bit more General
  • 00:08:56
    so what we want to do is pick something
  • 00:08:57
    here
  • 00:09:00
    so the good nursing
  • 00:09:03
    again a stable one
  • 00:09:05
    simple nursing software
  • 00:09:08
    so maybe that one didn't work but you
  • 00:09:10
    start to see how the different overlap
  • 00:09:12
    would work like how would you be able to
  • 00:09:14
    tie these in
  • 00:09:15
    so let's for example go into
  • 00:09:18
    Health again so we're going to go into
  • 00:09:20
    health and then come down
  • 00:09:23
    Okay so we've got different things here
  • 00:09:24
    so we've got obviously stuff about
  • 00:09:25
    monkey pox who's on the rise
  • 00:09:28
    which makes sense that's been relevant
  • 00:09:30
    in some areas the goodness I'm guessing
  • 00:09:32
    these are potentially TV shows you can
  • 00:09:35
    see this is a comedian this is a movie
  • 00:09:37
    these aren't that relevant always and
  • 00:09:40
    this is something I often find
  • 00:09:41
    interesting that sometimes the
  • 00:09:42
    categories don't always match up so
  • 00:09:45
    we're going to top
  • 00:09:46
    Dr Pharmacy
  • 00:09:48
    Urgent Care
  • 00:09:50
    symptoms so you could have videos on
  • 00:09:52
    different symptoms might need to be
  • 00:09:53
    careful of Google terms there
  • 00:09:56
    Eye Care so it could be stuff in Eye
  • 00:09:58
    Care blood
  • 00:09:59
    side effects Dentistry so perhaps you
  • 00:10:02
    could create videos on different
  • 00:10:03
    Dentistry or different things for dental
  • 00:10:06
    care and also perhaps different diseases
  • 00:10:08
    and stuff people are always going to be
  • 00:10:09
    searching for and interested in stories
  • 00:10:11
    about dental stuff perhaps
  • 00:10:14
    signs and symptoms so this could be an
  • 00:10:16
    interesting one so let's go into signs
  • 00:10:17
    and symptoms
  • 00:10:19
    so we probably want to avoid anything to
  • 00:10:21
    do with sort of the covid stuff
  • 00:10:24
    again let's look at the top stuff
  • 00:10:27
    pregnancy symptoms
  • 00:10:30
    okay so pregnancy is obviously going to
  • 00:10:32
    be one that people are interested in you
  • 00:10:33
    can see how you can start to get ideas
  • 00:10:35
    and as we go in let's say okay now I
  • 00:10:38
    want to I want to do something on so
  • 00:10:40
    let's look at pregnancy
  • 00:10:42
    small Spike here
  • 00:10:44
    let's see what we've got again
  • 00:10:48
    see you could this is why you could tap
  • 00:10:51
    into if you were doing a channel on
  • 00:10:53
    babies and everything else
  • 00:10:55
    you could find a way to tie in the
  • 00:10:57
    trending topic of Rihanna being pregnant
  • 00:10:59
    at the Super Bowl
  • 00:11:01
    and that would give you an extra boost
  • 00:11:03
    and also you could tie in in an
  • 00:11:05
    evergreen way so it could be overlap of
  • 00:11:07
    how do we know that she's pregnant or
  • 00:11:09
    something along those lines now
  • 00:11:11
    obviously these examples are a bit weak
  • 00:11:13
    but you're then going to Top Again
  • 00:11:15
    pregnant pregnancy tests pregnancy
  • 00:11:17
    symptoms pregnant women
  • 00:11:19
    Okay so we've got loads of different
  • 00:11:21
    ideas here but now we've done the web
  • 00:11:23
    search
  • 00:11:24
    and then you want to come in and see
  • 00:11:26
    what's happening on YouTube itself Okay
  • 00:11:29
    so a little bit more
  • 00:11:33
    sort of gossipy trending topics there
  • 00:11:36
    let's look for the but again those sort
  • 00:11:39
    of gossipy trending topics could be a
  • 00:11:41
    good way for you to get some trending
  • 00:11:43
    information into your Evergreen video
  • 00:11:46
    childbirth you see lots of great related
  • 00:11:48
    topics here
  • 00:11:50
    pregnancy belly pregnancy test
  • 00:11:53
    pregnancy birth
  • 00:11:55
    pregnancy workouts interesting so you
  • 00:11:57
    could do a whole Channel around being
  • 00:11:59
    pregnant
  • 00:12:00
    from start to finish so this is what I
  • 00:12:03
    want you to understand that this is a
  • 00:12:05
    tool it's you need to read between the
  • 00:12:07
    lines so you have your general Niche
  • 00:12:08
    idea you then have your products that
  • 00:12:11
    you are potentially going to try and
  • 00:12:12
    push so how would you do it so if I was
  • 00:12:13
    doing weight loss I would want to find
  • 00:12:15
    health things that are going to be
  • 00:12:17
    relatable to to health so it could be
  • 00:12:20
    how people are losing weight or how
  • 00:12:23
    famous people lose it so you always see
  • 00:12:26
    how people when they do workouts and
  • 00:12:28
    stuff like that they say how Thor got
  • 00:12:30
    into shape for his movie so the you know
  • 00:12:32
    Chris Hemsworth workout people tie in
  • 00:12:34
    celebrities and overlapping trending
  • 00:12:36
    things to be able to make these work and
  • 00:12:38
    that's what you need to be doing if you
  • 00:12:40
    want to try and tap into both trending
  • 00:12:42
    and getting Evergreen topics so I always
  • 00:12:44
    recommend having Evergreen topics that
  • 00:12:47
    you then tie in a little bit of this
  • 00:12:48
    trending stuff just to be able to get
  • 00:12:50
    more views and stay more relevant with
  • 00:12:52
