About Quality Nishikigoi
Quality Nishikigoi is a YouTube channel run by Tim Waddington, based in Warrington, UK. The channel documents visits to Japanese koi farms several times a year, including harvest days, mud pond walkthroughs and pond build projects for customers. Most videos are filmed without on-camera presenting and are shot on a low production budget, often with voiceover or ambient commentary.
Based on channel data, the audience is likely made up of koi keepers and garden pond hobbyists, mainly in the UK, with an older, mostly male skew (these are estimates). The channel also promotes its trade business, including koi sales and events with partner retailers.
The median video reaches about 2,400 views. Sponsored integrations are typically priced at $20 to $35 per 1,000 median views, so roughly $50 to $85 per video at current figures, which compares with $10 to $30 CPM for paid ads.
