Profitable Niches for YouTube Shorts + Affiliate Marketing ?

Hi, what niches do well in youtube shorts promoting affiliate offers? Preferably something whitehat that is allowed in YouTube because I wanna start a shorts channel for the long term and send people to my domain that goes to a lander that goes to an affiliate offer.

I was thinking maybe crypto offers, stocks/investing offers, some sort of lead generation offers... but I don't know if these are allowed.

I see that the shorts videos have to be unique, so maybe I'll try using AI and learn video editing.

Health, fitness, gadgets, personal finance, and lifestyle hacks are safe + profitable for Shorts. Crypto/stocks are riskier with YouTube rules. Evergreen niches + problem/solution style content work best long term.

I thik whitehat niches like health, finance tips, and tech reviews do best because they stay ad-friendly and build steady trust for affiliate links.

Since we are in AI season, i feel Ai generated story telling videos attract more videos these days.. that is if you are good at it

I’d avoid overly hyped stuff like get-rich-quick schemes, YouTube can easily demonetize or block those.

Make crypto content , there are still lot of people who have not started using crypto yet.

Solid approach going whitehat with Shorts + a simple funnel. Niches that consistently work (and stay compliant) are tools/software (SaaS trials), productivity apps, AI tools, and beginner-friendly finance education, focus on value-first clips instead of hype.

Crypto/investing can work but you’ll need proper disclaimers + avoid income claims, otherwise you risk strikes. Lead gen offers (email submit, free tools, templates) are usually safer and convert well with Shorts traffic.

Biggest win is your lander, keep it clean, fast, and aligned with the video intent. Unique clips + honest positioning will outperform aggressive selling long term

I advise you to steer clear of crypto or investing because you'll get penalized and heavily flagged for spam. Focus on niche areas like software reviews or tech tips, that's the whitehat approach, driving traffic to your landing page very sustainably.
