Here are some great choices for sustainable YouTube channels:

What makes a good YouTube channel:

• You need an endless supply of video topics.
• You need to entertain or inform with your videos.
• Videos must be advertiser and user-friendly.
• Your strategy should be to go for medium traffic and high CPM or very high traffic and low CPM.

1. Reviews and comparisons channel

A reviews and comparisons channel will always have new content that you can use for videos because new products are always being created. It's great for creating a high CPM as well.

Tutorials are some of the most popular videos on YouTube because using video to teach someone makes it easier to learn, in many cases.

5. Guest speaker / interview channel

Guest speaker and interview channels are not as well-known as many other types of channels, but they are some of the most powerful when done correctly. You can publish more content than anyone when you aren't the one talking in all the videos.

Helpful resources:

• Example: TED channel
