Hi Fiora! The best YouTube category to use for your videos depends on the type of content you create and the audience you want to reach. YouTube currently has 16 primary categories for videos, each with its own subcategories. Here is a brief overview of the primary categories:
- Film & Animation
- Autos & Vehicles
- Music
- Pets & Animals
- Sports
- Travel & Events
- Gaming
- People & Blogs
- Comedy
- Entertainment
- News & Politics
- Howto & Style
- Education
- Science & Technology
- Nonprofits & Activism
- Shows
Consider the topic of your videos and the audience you want to reach. For example, if you create educational content, you may want to choose the “Education” category. If you create travel vlogs, the “Travel & Events” category may be a good fit. If you create comedy sketches, the “Comedy” category would be appropriate.
Ultimately, the most important thing is to create high-quality content that engages your viewers and keeps them coming back for more.
