Step-by-Step Guide
Choose your crypto focus
Pick between education (blockchain concepts), analysis (market/price), or news. Education has the longest shelf life; news drives daily traffic.
Research deeply before publishing
Crypto misinformation is rampant. Verify facts, cite sources, and present balanced views. Your credibility depends on accuracy.
Create a beginner series
Build a 10-15 video beginner course covering blockchain basics, buying crypto, wallet security, and common scams.
Add timely market content
Weekly market updates and project reviews create recurring viewership. Cover major events within 24 hours.
Monetize carefully
YouTube ads (₹200-800/1K views), exchange affiliates (WazirX, CoinDCX — ₹200-1,000 per signup), selling courses, and sponsored project reviews (with disclosure).
Why crypto content still has massive potential in 2026
The crypto space continues to evolve:
- Global crypto users exceeded 500 million — and growing
- India has 20M+ crypto investors despite regulatory uncertainty
- Extremely high RPM — Crypto channels earn ₹200-800 per 1000 views
- Passionate community — Crypto audiences are among the most engaged on YouTube
- New frontiers — DeFi, NFTs, Web3, and real-world asset tokenization create constant new content opportunities

By approach: Education, market analysis, news, project reviews, trading strategies
By audience: Beginners, intermediate traders, developers, investors
By format: Explainers, daily updates, project deep-dives, tutorials, opinion/commentary
