part 1 caused controversy

part 1 caused controversy but these are the next five niches I'd want to have a million followers in if monetization was the goal. In 10th place is entertainment with 1 million followers, the audience is there but the audience that entertainment creators garner is so broad that brands can't often justify premium rates. So despite the reach you're mainly making money from the occasional brand deal or merch rather than serious sponsorships. In 9th place is food. Now food creators do get some serious brand deals but the reason they're still pretty high on this list is because the brands in this space don't compete with the marketing budgets of the ones lower down, so there's a cap on what you can charge even with serious reach. In 8th place is gaming. Gaming is one that often flies under the radar but is actually pretty lucrative. The only downside is that a lot of the money comes from platforms in the form of subscriptions and donations, so there's still a huge chunk that creators don't get to take home. In 7th place is fashion. Fashion at scale has a real earning potential from affiliate deals to merch drops and brand deals, the opportunities are constant but the reason it doesn't rank higher is because fashion moves fast. So instead of investing into long term deals with creators, brands tend to offer more short term or affiliate deals. And in 6th place is lifestyle with 1 million followers. Lifestyle gives you flexibility and no two days are the same. You can work with almost any brand category and it's arguably the niche that's the most desirable, but without a specific audience it can still be pretty difficult to charge a premium in comparison to those in the top 5. So if you wanted to know what the top 5 niches are you can find part 1 in my pinned posts.
