What Creators Say About OutlierKit
Thousands of YouTubers use OutlierKit to find profitable niches and grow their channels with data-driven strategies
“I spent months trying to figure out which niche to start in. OutlierKit showed me RPM data and competition levels I couldn't find anywhere else. I picked a niche that looked 'boring' on paper but pays $35+ RPM — now I'm earning more than channels with 10x my subscribers.”
“The trending niche alerts are gold. OutlierKit flagged an emerging niche in AI tutorials two months before it blew up. I was one of the first creators to jump in, and those early videos still bring in 80% of my monthly traffic. Being early to a niche changes everything.”
“I run three faceless channels and niche selection is everything for automation. OutlierKit's niche finder helped me identify a low-competition, high-RPM niche that no one was covering. That channel hit 10K subscribers in 3 months with zero face time. The data pays for itself.”
