How Finance YouTube Channels Are Going Viral With Just a Few Videos (Complete Step-by-Step Guide)
First, look at this channel. Now look at this one. And then check this one too.
Do you know what all these channels have in common? And why they went viral with just a few videos?
If you still can’t figure it out just by looking at them, let me make it clear for you.
All these channels belong to the Finance niche.
Why the Finance Niche Is Exploding on YouTube
I know what you’re thinking right now:
“Bro, there are already huge finance channels on YouTube. So what’s special about these new ones?”
The main reason behind their fast growth is not luck.
The niche itself is the reason.
You already know how high the RPM (Revenue Per Mille) of the finance niche is. That’s why creators are finding different ways to enter this niche and make videos that can earn more money with fewer views.
Some creators explain finance concepts using monkeys.
Some use cartoons.
They explain things so simply that even a 5-year-old can understand finance.
Real Examples of Fast-Growing Finance Channels
Take a look at the channel Financial Revolutions.
It started just two months ago, and many of its videos have already gone viral.
Let me clear one important thing:
All the channels I’m showing you are monetized.
Right now, the most trending finance channel styles are:
- Crayon Capital (No. 1 trending style)
- Monkey Economics
I’ve already made a detailed video on Monkey Economics. You can watch it after this.
Today, I’ll teach you how to create videos like Crayon Capital, because right now there are very few channels in this style.
Channels like Casual Finance and Casual Economics grew massively with just a handful of videos.
Finding Viral Video Topics (Most Important Part)
Once your channel is created, the most crucial step begins:
Finding video topics that can actually go viral.
Method 1: Broad Keyword Research on YouTube
Search a broad keyword on YouTube.
In our case, the keyword is Finance.
Open all finance-related channels that appear in search results.
It doesn’t matter if the channel is big or small.
Now analyze the channel properly:
- Which videos performed better than average?
- Which videos stand out?
These are called Outlier Videos.
Repeat the same process with multiple competitor channels and note down their outlier video topics.
Method 2: Trend Jacking (Very Powerful)
Trend jacking means creating videos around topics or people that are already famous.
For example, look at this Crayon Capital video:
“The World of Wall Street Scams Explained Like You’re Five”
Wall Street scams are already famous worldwide.
Movies have been made on them. People already know the topic.
The creator simply used that popularity—and the result?
2.6 million views in just 2 months.
The same strategy is used in their Amazon story videos and many others.
Why You Should NOT Copy Topics Directly
Most people will copy the exact outlier topic and make the same video.
Don’t do this.
You are not the only one thinking this way.
Instead, use ChatGPT to create unique topics in the same format.
Using ChatGPT to Generate Unique Finance Video Topics
Open ChatGPT and paste the topic-generation prompt from the PDF.
This prompt is built after analyzing all these viral channels, so the topics you get will be similar—but unique.
You can decide how many topics you want.
For example: 10 topics.
Once you run the prompt, ChatGPT will generate completely new video ideas.
Combining Trend Jacking + Uniqueness
Let’s say the format is:
“Something Explained Like You’re Five”
Now ask ChatGPT:
“Give me video topics in this format.”
Example result:
“How Countries Go Bankrupt Explained Like You’re Five”
This topic is:
- Unique
- High curiosity
- Finance-related
How to Choose the Best Topic (Viewer Psychology)
Always think like a viewer.
Ask yourself:
“Would I click on this video?”
For example:
- ❌ “How Luxembourg Became a Hidden Money Capital” (low interest)
- ✅ “How China Built Wealth at Unbelievable Speed” (high interest)
People already compare China with other countries, so curiosity is higher.
Writing the Video Script (Best Free Tools)
For scripts, copy the script-writing prompt from the PDF.
If you want very long scripts, use Claude AI.
It’s currently one of the best free tools for long-form scripts.
You can easily generate:
- 8-minute scripts
- 30-minute scripts
- Even 1-hour scripts
Once the script is ready, copy it into Google Docs and remove unnecessary headings.
Voiceover Generation (AI Tools)
For voiceover, use Google AI Studio.
Paste your script, add voice instructions, select a voice, and generate.
Longer scripts take more time, but the output quality is excellent.
If there is background noise, upload the voice to:
This tool automatically removes noise and enhances voice quality.
Image & Visual Creation
Use ChatGPT to convert your script into image prompts.
Then generate images using:
It’s completely free and provides high-quality images.
For the first minute, convert images into videos to hook viewers.

Thumbnail Creation Using AI
Use the thumbnail prompt from the PDF in ChatGPT.
If needed, ask ChatGPT to give image prompts instead.
Generate thumbnails using Google Image FX.
You can also upload competitor thumbnails and ask ChatGPT to create a similar—but original—design.
