Do I need SEBI registration for a stock market YouTube channel?

For general education, no. But if you provide specific buy/sell recommendations, you may need SEBI Research Analyst registration. Always add disclaimers and present content as educational.

How do stock market channels make money?

YouTube ads (₹200-600 per 1K views — highest in India), Demat account affiliates (₹200-500 each), selling trading courses (₹5K-50K), and platform sponsorships.

What stock market content gets the most views?

IPO reviews (when timely), beginner guides, stock comparison videos, and market crash/rally analysis videos get the highest views.

How often should I post?

Daily market updates (even 5-minute Shorts) and 2-3 educational videos per week. Markets are active 5 days a week, creating natural daily content opportunities.

Step-by-Step Guide

Choose your investing approach

Pick between fundamental analysis (long-term), technical analysis (trading), or beginner education. Don't try to cover all approaches.

Start with educational content

Build a foundation of evergreen educational videos. 'What is PE ratio' gets views forever and establishes credibility.

Add market commentary

Daily/weekly market updates create recurring viewership. Start with weekly, then move to daily as you grow.

Show your reasoning, not just picks

Don't just say 'buy X stock' — show your analysis process. This builds trust and teaches viewers to think independently.

Monetize through platform affiliates

Demat account affiliates (₹200-500 per signup), selling trading courses (₹5,000-50,000), YouTube ads (₹200-600/1K views), and financial tool partnerships.

Why stock market content earns the most on Indian YouTube

Stock market is YouTube India's premium niche:

- 10 crore+ Demat accounts in India — growing at 2 crore per year
- Highest RPM — ₹200-600 per 1000 views due to brokerages, trading platforms, and financial services advertisers
- Massive affiliate revenue — Demat account referrals pay ₹200-500 each, with high conversion
- Daily content opportunity — Markets open every weekday, creating daily content needs
- Course revenue — Trading courses sell for ₹5,000-50,000 with willing buyers

The opportunity: beginner investor education — most content targets experienced traders. Channels explaining basics (what is PE ratio, how to read financial statements) have massive untapped demand.

By approach: Fundamental analysis, technical analysis, value investing, swing trading, long-term investing
By content type: Stock analysis, market news, educational content, portfolio tracking, IPO reviews
By audience: Beginners, intermediate traders, long-term investors, day traders
By format: Daily market updates, stock deep-dives, screener tutorials, paper trading
