Wondering how to start an ASMR business? Need some ASMR business ideas? Wondering what ASMR is? In this post I share some business ideas for starting an ASMR business from home.
What is ASMR?
According to Wikipedia, ASMR is defined as:
Autonomous sensory meridian response, sometimes auto sensory meridian response, is a tingling sensation that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine.
Many people are creating businesses around ASMR and the techniques it applies. Women are especially great at this type of business because we have a very natural way of being that pairs well with this type of business. Most of the top ASMR YouTubers are women.
Why start an ASMR business?
Right now, ASMR is on the brink of exploding. If you haven't heard or watched an ASMR video or audio recording, you're in for a treat. The odd sounds that would seem annoying, can actually be soothing, especially for people who have high anxiety, insomnia, and other issues which make it hard for them to relax. Another reason is that many people do not feel comfortable around people, though they want to feel like they are with other people so they listen to the sounds of other people's daily lives, chatter, and even direct messages to feel comforting. There are even funny ASMR videos on YouTube. From what we have seen, ASMR is a very positive way of communicating and living as it holds space for peace. There is no yelling, loud abrasive messaging, and similar sounds that are often heard in regular television programming and commercials. It partners very well with online businesses because it presents a stark contrast to the regular advertisements we see online.
Kinds of ASMR businesses
There are a variety of opportunities including:
- ASMR YouTube business
- ASMR Podcast
- ASMR Blog
- ASMR Phone Call Service
- ASMR Audio Recording
- ASMR Email Newsletter
…and more.
Here's 6 ASMR business ideas
Here I will go more into detail about these business ideas:
ASMR YouTube business
This is the most obvious ASMR business to start because this is where ASMR is really taking off. Many ASMR YouTuber's are drawing large subscriber numbers and views. From our best guess, this is because people will listen to ASMR videos that soothe them over and over again, like before bed and when starting the day. This is one reason why starting an ASMR YouTube business can be a very profitable venture if you connect ads onto your videos.
ASMR Podcast
Another way to get ASMR is through audio and a podcast makes this a very easy business to start. An ASMR podcast business will allow you to regularly share ASMR audio with your subscribers. You can monetize your podcast by taking advertisers or by promoting your own audio files for purchase.
ASMR Blog
Hosting an ASMR blog is a great way to share text, audio and video ASMR content with your followers. You can place advertisements on your site, partner with affiliates and promote relatable products, or make and sell your own ASMR videos and audio files on your blog.

ASMR Phone Call Service
Similar to a chat hotline, you can start an ASMR phone call service where customers can call in and get live ASMR stimulation over the phone. You can charge a flat rate for this service and schedule regular calls to streamline your efforts.
ASMR Audio Recording Service
Another ASMR business idea is an ASMR audio recording service. This service can offer custom ASMR recording for customers. You can charge a premium for custom ASMR audio recording. You can then sell that same content to others, increasing your revenue with little extra effort.
ASMR Email Newsletter
Lastly, an ASMR email newsletter is a great business idea, especially for those who really enjoy searching the web for great ASMR content. You can put together a regular email newsletter highlighting ASMR videos, audio and other content. This can be monetized by partnering with affiliate and advertisers, as well as selling your own recorded content.
