Step-by-Step Guide
Choose your tech focus
Pick a product category (phones, earbuds, laptops) and price segment (budget, mid-range). Don't try to review everything.
Invest in basic recording setup
Good lighting, a clean background, and a camera that captures product details. A second phone with good camera works initially.
Create honest, structured reviews
Cover: design, display, performance, camera, battery, and value for money. Always mention cons — honesty builds trust.
Add comparison content
X vs Y comparisons drive the most search traffic. Create them for every popular product in your niche.
Monetize through brands and affiliates
Amazon/Flipkart affiliates (2-8%), brand sponsorships (₹50K-10L per review), YouTube ads (₹60-200/1K views), and tech event coverage.
Why tech review is a top YouTube niche in India
Tech content is India's YouTube backbone:
- India ships 150+ million smartphones annually — the world's second-largest market
- Pre-purchase research — 85% of Indian tech buyers watch YouTube reviews before purchasing
- High RPM — Tech channels earn ₹60-200 per 1000 views from gadget and ecommerce advertisers
- Brand partnerships — Tech brands spend ₹50K-10L per sponsored review
- Affiliate revenue — Amazon/Flipkart tech affiliate programs pay 2-8% commission
The opportunity: mid-range and budget tech reviews focused on value-for-money. While big channels cover flagships, millions of Indians need guidance on ₹10,000-25,000 phones and affordable gadgets.
Choosing your tech sub-niche
Tech review is broad — specialize:
By product: Smartphones, laptops, earbuds, smartwatches, cameras, smart home
By price segment: Budget (under ₹15K), mid-range (₹15-30K), premium (₹30K+)
By format: Reviews, comparisons, unboxings, camera tests, durability tests
By audience: Students, professionals, gamers, content creators, general consumers
By language: Hindi, English, regional languages
Best niches: budget phone comparisons, earbuds/TWS reviews under ₹2,000, laptop buying guides for students, and camera comparison content.
