Need Important Suggestion - Indian creator confused about choosing a YouTube niche, would love some advice

Hey everyone! I’m a guy age 20, like who wants to start a YouTube channel, but I’m honestly stuck on one of the biggest questions: what niche should I choose?

My main reasons for wanting to do YouTube are pretty simple:

  1. I want to build an additional source of income.
  2. I’d also love to build an audience and become somewhat well-known through my content.
  3. Most importantly, I want to create something that I genuinely enjoy rather than just chasing whatever niche is currently trending.

The problem is that I have way too many interests, and I don’t know which one would actually make sense for a channel.

For example, I’m interested in:

  • Anime —> I could make content around Naruto, One Piece, JJK, etc., but I’m not sure how competitive it is or how I should differentiate myself.
  • Documentaries / business stories — I really enjoy videos about companies, their rise and fall, business strategies, industries, etc. Something along the lines of the type of content Think School makes.
  • Economics & current affairs — I read a lot of news and like keeping track of what’s happening in India and around the world.
  • Science — I genuinely enjoy learning about science and explaining interesting concepts.
  • Cricket / sports — especially cricket, although I’m not sure what kind of content would work beyond match/news coverage.
  • Basically, I enjoy researching things and then understanding/explaining them.

So I have a few questions for people who actually have experience with YouTube:

1. Which of these niches would you recommend?
Should I focus on one specific topic, or can I combine related interests?

2. Should I start with Shorts or long-form videos?
Would it make sense to use Shorts to build an initial audience and then move toward long-form, or should I just focus on long-form from the beginning?

3. Should I show my face?
For documentary/business/science-type content, is a faceless channel a disadvantage in the long run? Or does showing your face help significantly with building a personal brand?

4. Hindi or English?
I’m from India, so I’m wondering whether I should make videos primarily in Hindi/Hinglish for an Indian audience or in English for a potentially larger international audience.

5. What other niches should I consider?
Based on the interests I mentioned, are there any particular niches or content formats that you think would suit me?

I’m not necessarily looking for the easiest niche to make money from. I’m more interested in finding something I can stick with for long and potentially turn into a serious channel/business.

Would really appreciate advice from Indian creators or people who have experience growing channels. What would you do if you were starting from zero at my age?

Redmi Turbo 5 vs Poco F7 vs Poco X8 Pro (India)

I'm planning to buy a new phone and I'm really confused between these three. My budget is around **₹36-37k**.

Option 1: POCO F7

* ₹36,000 (12GB + 256GB) * Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 * Bigger battery * Better performance * But since it's last year's phone, it'll only get updates till **Android 19**.

Option 2: POCO X8 Pro

* ₹37,000 (8GB + 256GB) * Can get around **₹3k HDFC card discount** * Dimensity 8500 Ultra * Updates till **Android 20** * Slightly smaller battery than the F7 and Redmi Turbo 5

Option 3: Redmi Turbo 5

* Around ₹37,000 * From what I've seen, it's almost the same phone as the POCO X8 Pro. * Same Dimensity 8500 Ultra * Bigger battery than the X8 Pro * Not sure if there are any other major differences besides branding/software.

**My usage:**

* Heavy multitasking * Gaming (not competitive, but I want smooth performance) * Lots of YouTube, Netflix, social media * I usually keep a phone for **4-5 years**, so software updates and long-term performance matter.

My biggest confusion is:

* Is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in the POCO F7 worth buying even though it'll stop at Android 19? * Or is it smarter to buy the newer X8 Pro/Redmi Turbo 5 for the extra year of updates? * If the X8 Pro and Redmi Turbo 5 are basically the same phone, should I just get the Redmi because of the bigger battery?

I'd really appreciate opinions from people who've used any of these devices or know Xiaomi's lineup well. Which one would you buy and why?

Looking for honest feedback on my new YouTube channel (Shorts + Weekly Long-form Strategy)

Hi everyone!

I've recently started a new YouTube channel and would really appreciate advice from creators who have already grown successful channels.

My current plan is:

Upload Shorts consistently to build an audience and increase discoverability.

Upload one high-quality long-form documentary video every week.

My videos are in English, and my goal is to eventually build a sustainable channel.

I have a few questions:

Based on your experience, what should I focus on during the first 3–6 months?

Should I prioritize consistency, CTR, retention, or something else?

Since my content is in English, should I target the Indian audience first or try to make it appeal to a global audience from the beginning? I know global audiences generally have higher RPM/CPM, but I'm not sure what's the smarter strategy for a new channel.

If you could review my channel and one or two videos, what are the biggest improvements you'd recommend? I'm looking for brutally honest feedback on thumbnails, titles, editing, pacing, storytelling, narration, or anything else.

What milestones should I aim for first? (For example: first 100 subscribers, 1,000 subscribers, watch hours, average view duration, returning viewers, etc.)

Are there any mistakes that almost every new creator makes that I should avoid?

Is my Shorts + weekly long-form strategy a good approach, or would you recommend something different?

I'm not looking for shortcuts or "viral hacks." I want to build this channel the right way and improve with every upload.

If you're willing to review my channel, I'll share the link in the comments (or DM if the subreddit prefers).

Thanks in advance—I genuinely appreciate any feedback or criticism!

  • Anything confusing or broken?
  • What would make you actually come back?
  • Suggestions?
  • Bugs!

Brutal honesty welcome, that's genuinely more useful to me than compliments right now. Thanks in advance!
