The results are in.

The results are in. I just got done studying which niches pay the most regardless of your follower count. This is how they rank up against each other. Entertainment, F tier. Entertainment brands don't pay for conversions, they pay for reach, which means without the numbers you don't have any leverage. Your follower count and engagement does a lot of the pulling here. Gaming also, F tier. This one didn't actually surprise me. The passion in the niches is unmatched, but the brand budgets don't reflect that at lower levels. You tend to see the real benefits as you get bigger. Tech, straight S tier. B2B creators with just 20,000 followers can charge anywhere between $3,000 - 10,000 per post, and that's not to mention the high ticket offers they can provide as well. I don't think I have to say much else. Travel, D tier. Travel sounds glamorous and it is, but it's also seasonal and brands in the space don't run consistent budgets year around, so your income's dependent on your follower count and the calendar. Personal finance, another S tier and it's not up for debate. Trading platforms, investment apps, banking. These brands carry some of the largest marketing budgets for creators of all sizes. Your follower count almost doesn't matter as long as you've got an audience that truly trust you. Food, D tier. It's one of the most popular niches in the whole of socials, cause who doesn't love good food? The only thing is the marketing budgets in this space don't quite compete with the ones higher up on the list, but if you showcase your talent well, there's still a lot of money that can be made here. And beauty, B tier. This one doesn't quite feel right cause beauty is one of the most active categories for both brand deals and affiliate opportunities, but it is also the most crowded. Brands are genuinely spoilt for choice and your follower count matters here more than most would like to think. The money is still good though. The niche you're in isn't just a topic, sometimes it's a ceiling. So if you're building in any of these niches and wanna know how to land deals that will actually pay, then follow for more.
