EXPOSED! The Most Profitable Niches for Youtube
PLEASE DO NOT CLICK THIS https://bit.ly/3MXyBgH▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Big brands don’t like to work with just any niche, or just any creator. They’re picky. So here are the key takeaways of what they look for: The two most lucrative podcast niches right now are health/fitness and lifestyle/education.Early-stage health/wellness brands are willing to spend 2-3x more on influencer marketing than average CPMs.Lifestyle/education companies aggressively pursue creators to develop new content for their audiences.Both niches allow podcasters to authentically showcase their passions and knowledge in an intimate way.Focusing a podcast business on these profitable verticals can help attract sponsorships and grow an engaged audience faster.Guest Info: Sean Joseph, Brand Deal Experthttps://www.instagram.com/seanzy319 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬📱 CONNECT with me on Instagram 📱► https://www.instagram.com/luisryandiaz/ 💰 Want To Launch a Top 10 Ranked Podcast ..Guaranteed or Your Money Back? ► https://www.top10podcasts.com/roadmap-1 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬🏆 My Goal 🏆My goal is to share strategies on how to use video podcasting to grow your online presence and business.

What is Holding Back Most Creators from Getting Their First High Paying Sponsor
So you want to get a brand deal but you want to make sure you don’t mess it up…Here is what you should know:Creators should spend time identifying brands they genuinely use and enjoy.Creators should map the brands they want to partner with to brands that are already actively advertising, especially in the last 30 days, to have the best chances of success. Starting with one ideal "big fish" brand partner and then expanding to three partners is a good strategy while maintaining ROI for all brands.Ultimately, not being intentional about which brands to target could cost you (and them) in ROI and relationships.Guest Info: Sean Joseph, Brand Deal Experthttps://www.instagram.com/seanzy319 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬📱 CONNECT with me on Instagram 📱► https://www.instagram.com/luisryandiaz/ 💰 Want To Launch a Top 10 Ranked Podcast ..Guaranteed or Your Money Back? ► https://www.top10podcasts.com/roadmap-1 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬🏆 My Goal 🏆My goal is to share strategies on how to use video podcasting to grow your online presence and business.
