Animation Niche Has Exploded  | Got 61 Subscribers in Less Than 28 Days!

Hey WA Fam

I just had to share this with you because in the last 28 days my YouTube channel gained +61 new subscribers, 19.3K views, and all I’ve been posting are YouTube short

And here’s the fun part: I only started posting YT Shorts the last few days because I spotted a trend.

How it all started

In one of the WAbinar on Pinterest Jay advised, “Check the Top Trending in Pinterest Analytics.” So I did. And I found that Animated Videos blowing up - not just in kids’ cartoons, but in wellness, money tips, productivity hacks, recipes… you name it.

That got me thinking: If animated videos are getting this much attention on Pinterest, why not try them on YouTube Shorts?

So I made a few. Posted them daily. Kept it simple. And the numbers started climbing. You can see in the chart that I haven’t even reached the one-month mark yet.

Why animated videos work across ANY niche

I guess animated shorts work for absolutely any topic. You can explain a breathing technique ,break down a money habit in finance, show a quick recipe in food content, or give a playful parenting tip.

With today’s AI tools, the process is so simple that you don’t need animation skills or expensive software. You can use Sora or any other AI tool.

The takeaway

Why not try animated shorts for your niche?

Whether you talk about healing, gardening, finance, recipes, or parenting.

With AI tools doing the hard work, there's really nothing to lose - at worst, you’ve created something fun, and at best, you’ve found a format that could take your reach to the next level.

So just give it a try and see what happens:)
