AI YouTube Trend Finder Based on Niche — Catch Trends and Claim Your Market Share

We all know how frustrating it is to scroll through Youtube looking for "viral" videos, only for it to turn out that the "viral" content from hours ago is no longer "viral" (what was "hot" then will not be "hot" now). Most of time, by the time we finally find something that's even remotely considered "viral" it has already been uploaded by half of your competitors and is already #1 in the search results. That is why we created the AI YouTube Trend Finder by ASCN.AI.

Our platform has a very simple, yet powerful, outlier sourcing feature - The AI YouTube Trend Finder scans your Niche in 10-30 seconds and provides detailed comparison of competitors and their growth patterns. This includes all the data you need to make informed business decisions without the tedious hours of searching. The AI YouTube Trend Finder scans thousands of videos in the Niche and filters out the irrelevant videos, so you only see what is actually "hitting" in the Niche you chose. Essentially, you get access to the top trending videos long before your competitors.

No more hours of scrolling through YouTube to find something "viral".

Why is Finding Trend by Niche so Important on YouTube?

YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine in the world after Google. YouTube has approximately 2.7 billion active users on a monthly basis (Statista, 2024). The size of the audience on YouTube is vast, and so is the competition. A video can only become a "hit" in the first few hours of its launch, after that it is often buried in the sea of other competing content. Focusing on a specific niche gives you greater control than trying to find your way through the vastness of general niches. A general subject such as "Bitcoin" is already filled with millions of videos produced by thousands of individuals, whereas an AI Trend Finder can help identify a rising interest in a more specific subject, for example, "arbitrage between DEX exchanges." If you were to create a series of videos based on that narrow subject matter, you would most likely land in the top 3 or 4 positions within a short period of time (about 2-3 weeks).

This sounds plausible, right?

So, how does Artificial Intelligence (AI) assist in finding trends and market analyzing niches?

The AI of ASCN.AI operates similarly to having your own personal analytics team; however, it is always working 24/7 without the need for sleep. Here are the ways that it accomplishes this:

• It gathers metrics from each video, including: Views, Likes, Comments, and Growth Rates over a certain time frame (e.g. 24 hours, 30 days).
• It provides analytics based on a video's audience by analyzing the sentiment expressed by the commenters (positive, negative, neutral) and extracting the primary questions from the comments left by the audience viewers.
• It gathers together similar video topics or videos, using "clustering", to identify the common Trends and Patterns of the clustered videos.
• It identifies videos that have demonstrated unusually high growth when compared with the average growth rate for that particular video niche and specifically identifies those videos that have outperformed the averages (Journal of Data Science, 2023).

An example of this occurred in 2024 when the AI of ASCN.AI discovered a rapidly growing interest in "AI Agents for Small Business" within the No-Code Niche in only 48 hours. After utilizing the information provided by AI, the team that took action on it obtained the top three search results in just over a few weeks.

This isn't a miracle; it is the result of technology giving you the opportunity to catch the next wave of market growth before the rest of the industry. AI YouTube Trend Finder is an advanced way to monitor and analyze trending topics, giving you insight into the rapidly changing crypto markets, allowing users to see trends over time and increasing the potential for future market opportunities.

Because there is already a large number of services similar to AI YouTube Trend Finder, we're proud to say we are NOT just like everybody else! Our Trend Finder is a comprehensive ecosystem of tools based on the latest AI technology, that can provide a unique perspective into the crypto niche and the financial world.

AI YouTube Trend Finder provides a detailed look into the current trends in crypto and financial information within three different sources; Web 3.0, Telegram channels and social media.

AI YouTube Trend Finder is NOT an investment advisor. You make the decisions based on the information provided. The information reflects the current state of affairs and your decisions are your own. As such, there is no guarantee that you will make a profit.

Due to the various verification levels, our customers have confidence that AI YouTube Trend Finder is a reliable source of information for the latest trends.

Level of Verification

We have multiple verification levels in place to ensure that we are providing quality data. The following is a list of our verification systems:

• Source Verification - All information is collected directly from verified sources on the YouTube API as well as from verified aggregators.
• Noise Filtering - All bot activity, artificial view inflation and spam are removed before the data is provided to our customers.
• Confidence Rating - For each trend identified, we provide a confidence rating of 0-1, based on the consistency of the data. If an identified trend is due to paid advertising or promotion, then we label it as "External Traffic".

The benefit of using Artificial Intelligence to conduct trend hunting on YouTube

AI can replace an enormous number of human analysts who have the ability to perform many of the tasks (analysis) of an analyst at a fraction of the time, but with greater accuracy than any person can achieve, and scale (Deloitte Insights, 2023).

• Processing Speed: AI can process tens of thousands of videos per minute; this is impossible for a human to achieve.
• Objectivity: AI removes any emotional bias from a human's perception of the data.
• Scalability: AI allows for monitoring of up to 50 niches simultaneously, compared to the limited reach of humans.

For example: In October 2024, when the bitcoin market dropped approximately 40%, AI Trend Finder had identified and reported a 10-minute spike in searches related to "arbitrage in a falling market". AI Trend Finder's clients who responded quickly to this opportunity outperformed their competitors and received thousands of clicks (ASCN.AI case study).

Core Features and Services

AI Trend Finder allows for YouTube trend searches by niche.

You define the niche (category), time frame (7 to 90 days) and main performance indicators (view growth rate, subscriber growth, engagement). In return, you receive the top 20–50 videos that the AI believes have the highest potential for growing views. In each return is:

• Title and URL of video.
• Core Metrics: Views, Likes, Comments, Date Published.
• The Growth Rate - the percentage of Views that the video has increased in that time period.
• Key Tags/Keywords related to the video.

For example, a query of "Automation for small business (in 14 days) with a View Growth rate > 150%" will yield the most promising and relevant videos for you in minutes.

Competitor Analysis and Identifying Outliers

An outlier is a video that stands out from the pack due to its unusually high spike in Views compared to the other videos that were uploaded around the same time. The algorithms that power the AI Trend Finder compare the historical data from a channel with other channels and determine an outlier based on the calculation of standard deviations. We also perform a comprehensive analysis of the top 10 channels for every niche in relation to:

• Subscriber growth.
• Frequency of posts/average length of videos.
• Topics with the most views and engagement
• Utilizing tagging strategies and SEO optimization for maximum reach and engagement

AI has shown that between 2023 and 2025 in the Crypto Arbitrage market, videos that had a length of 8-12 minutes long and contained practical case studies had an average watch time around 40% greater than videos of similar lengths but did not contain practical case studies. By making this format switch for video content clients were able to reach the top three video rankings within one month.

Automated data collection and processing using web scraping and integrating data into a CSV file using Google Sheets.

Mediago using YouTube API provides clients with metrics through its API without the limitations of their Standard Plan, providing the following for clients:

• Authorisation using Google Account or API Key.
• Export Configuration based on selected parameters (for example, by date and time of upload) and schedule.
• Regular updates of export configuration without the need for client interaction.

One client used an export configuration for the DeFi Protocols niche which updated every 6 hours, resulting in over 1200 total video collections and 15 identified topical areas for video creation. The client's channel traffic increased threefold as a result of the monthly increase in collected video content.

Video Summaries and analysis using AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools can identify content trends on a deep analytical level using NLP models (Natural Language Processing). These AI models allow for the extraction of the most important talking points, a determination of Viewer Sentiment towards the subject matter, and an analysis of pain points based on displayed comments. For example, when evaluating all videos on "Generating Passive Income via Staking", AI models found that approximately 80% of the videos addressed the mechanical aspects of staking and only 20% of these videos provided real-life experiences or statistics about it. Viewer comments indicated a lack of information on taxes and risks associated with this investment strategy, providing a full gap in the available information.

Generating Reports and Analysis

Reports generated by the AI provide the following in PDF, Google Docs, or Notion formats, including:

Trending Topics with Forecasts, Competitor Analysis with Comparison Data for each of the identified trending topics, Recommended Keywords, Content Suggestions, and Recommendations for Length of Videos.

Assessing Risk: Completions of Topics and Rate at Which Interest Will Decrease.

While performing an analysis of the "No-Code Automation" niche, I have found that over the last 12 months, interest has increased 120%, and I have also identified 3 topics with significant growth potential and minimal competition. I recommend that you create a series of 5 videos covering each of the 3 topics and project that the series will generate a minimum of 300% growth in traffic this quarter. The steps involved are outlined below.

1. Registration & Set-up: You will register for and set up the No-Code Automation process and process your data through the AI YouTube Trend Finder.
2. Data Source Connection: You will connect your data source (YouTube video API keys).

Once you have completed the above steps, you will have completed (1) & (2). You will then need to set up your Google Sheet for the export of the results and schedule your data update to occur.

3. Launch Your Trend Search Analysis: This process will take 10-30 seconds for you to see your initial results in Google Sheets or email. The first results will appear in Google Sheets or be emailed.
4. Receive Report and Recommendations: The AI YouTube Trend Finder generates reports on trends in the target audiences for the videos based on the information from the previous two steps. The report will contain recommendations about how to improve future outreach and growth of these trends for these operations.
5. Content Creation & Tracking: After you create your video, upload it to YouTube and track its performance in ASCN.AI Analytics.

Timeframes:

Performing a basic (basic) analysis will take 10-30 seconds. Performing a detailed competitor analysis (all competitors) will take up to 5 minutes. You will receive a total report in 2-3 minutes. The AI YouTube Trend Finder process will run continuously throughout each update, creating the results each time you schedule an update.

How to Use the AI YouTube Trend Finder

Setting up and launching your trend searches

• Choose your niche: The more specific your niche (e.g. "crypto arbitrage between exchanges" rather than just finance), the better your results.
• Select priority metrics: choose one of three - view growth, subscriber velocity, or engagement.
• Choosing filtering thresholds: set minimum views or % growth.

Integrating Data Sources

To connect the appropriate data sources, you would need either a YouTube API Key (or one built in) plus some form of authentication with Google Sheets or utilize a preconfigured CSV/post email export.

Analyzing Results and Taking Action

• Determine Growth Velocity — if your growth velocity exceeds 200% in a single week, this indicates a "hot" trend.
• Analyze Niche Saturation — if there are more than 1,000 videos published during a month for any given niche topic, consider approaching the niche from a different angle.
• Analyze Video Comments — by reading comments left by viewers, you will be able to identify the most common questions posed by your audience and focus content themes
• Examine Trend Longevity — the average life cycle of a news related trend only lasts for approximately 1 week.

Practical Applications

Determine New Content Topics — If you are producing content within the space of financial literacy (for example) and are running low on good potential topics, simply set your analytics to 30 days at greater than 100% growth, to find new emerging trends that would be popular (e.g., how to protect assets through staking).

Optimize Old Videos - If you've posted an outdated video on the topic of crypto arbitrage basics (for example) and only received 2,000 views, if you can analyze the video's description, tags, and content against current trends and update all of these based on what you analyzed, you should be able to increase the number of views on that video to 20,000 views.

Monitor Competitors - When competitors are suddenly experiencing rapid growth, utilizing AI to identify which of their videos is driving this growth (e.g., providing their subscribers with real-life success stories and techniques), will enable content creators to replicate these processes and retain their subscriber base.

Understanding YouTube Niches and Trends

What is a YouTube Niche and Why it Matters

A niche is the area of focus of a YouTuber to provide targeted content to a clearly defined audience that has specific interest areas. The more specific a niche is, the fewer competitors there will be, therefore there is more possibility of engagement and viewer retention creating a greater probability of monetizing the YouTube Channel. A growing "no-code automation" niche channel that doesn't have a lot of direct competitors has reached 10,000 subscribers within three months, achieving an average 5% conversion rate to paid products, which is much better than the conversion rates for the larger categories that have a lot of competitors in them.

How do you know which niche will be profitable, but not oversaturated?

They must be profitable (in other words, there must be enough people out there actively wanting to buy your product or use your service) and they must be underrepresented (in this case, less than 500 videos created for search keywords over the past 90 days) in the market, and there should be some level of increasing interest/usage in the past 6 to 12 months.

The following AI techniques can be used to determine the current trends of a particular niche:

• Tracking the total and relative increases for key metrics related to video content.
• A thorough semantic analysis of keywords that relate to your niche and the group into which they belong.
• Sentiment analysis of the comments in your video's audience.
• Monitoring other platforms (Telegram, Twitter, Reddit) to catch any new trending information before it reaches your target market (i.e., see Gartner's 2024 reports).

Niche analysis tools, such as ASCN.AI's YouTube Trend Finder and its competitors (like TubeBuddy and VidIQ) will differ based on their unique offerings and features. Below is a comparison of some of the top features of the tools.

Are there any tools that only focus on crypto/financial niches?

Yes.

Some case studies/testimonials of ASCN.AI products: The financial content agency utilized to analyse its video creation with approximately 40 hours of work per month and achieved a success rate of approximately 50%. Following the implementation of the AI Trend finder, the team discovered a trending topic of "Investing in Bonds for Inflation Protection" with greater than 180% growth and minimal competition. A video series viewed by 150,000 people during one quarter had a traffic increase of 300% and the time spent analyzing the videos decreased to 5 hours. In addition, there was a savings of $2,000 on a one-time budget.

Example #2 A personal brand in crypto.

The creator missed the uptick in arbitrage during a downward market environment around October 2024, but with the AI Trend Finder they got a notification a mere 2 hours after the market crash. In three days, the video was watched 80,000 times with a conversion rate for paid product purchases of 3% equating to $12,000 in one week.
