50 Niche Site Ideas Ripe for the Taking!
Whenever a friend or family member decides to create an online business, they first ask me what to do if they don’t have any ideas for a site. For them, for you, I have created this list. These are the niche sites I would build today if I weren’t already busy with other online businesses.
IMPORTANT NOTE!!! BE CAREFUL in choosing your site idea! While I think there are millions of ideas that can work, I’ve also had the sad experience dozens and dozens of times of seeing someone who poured 6 months of effort into a site that really stood very little chance of succeeding. The idea just wasn’t sound.
If none of the ideas on this list quite does it for you, you’ll probably be interested in our list of over 1,000 site ideas that we have with ideas and our comments. Just click here to get access to that list.
If you’d like some help with your niche site idea before you start, check out Project 24 where I teach you exactly how to build your site and use it to earn a living. I’ve covered “picking a niche and domain name” in great detail in our Project 24 program.
We certainly can’t promise that your idea will succeed. Your success will depend on your effort and skill. But having built MANY successful niche sites, and earning a full time income online for the last 5 years, I have enough experience to tell you things at the start of your journey that can save you thousands of hours and missed opportunities later on.
I apologize. If you came to this post expecting 50 niche site ideas… I don’t have exactly that many right now. I’m always adding new ideas and taking off old ones. But I’m going to keep this post up-to-date (I have 37 right now—May 7, 2018). Whenever I think of niche site ideas that I don’t have time to pursue myself and I’ll keep updating this post so we eventually get to 50.
1. Archery Site
I really enjoy archery and it’s a fantastic hobby enjoyed by millions of people around the world. However, I’ve been extremely surprised how little information is available online about archery. I’ve searched for SO many topics that I just simply don’t find any good answers for.
An archery hobby website would be AWESOME!
How to monetize this site: Some things people will likely buy from a local store which can set up the bow for them. These may include the bow itself and arrows. However, there are tons of accessories you could sell as an affiliate on your website. You could link them to Amazon and get a cut of the sale for targets (and 3d targets), releases, bow cases, tree stands, etc. All of these items are over $100 and would give you a substantial affiliate commission.
Suggested domain name: Archerytrainer.com is available right now
Type of site: Passive niche site
2. Boat Buyer’s Guide
If you haven’t noticed by this point in the post, I’m getting most of these ideas because I’m looking for information on Google and not finding what I’m looking for. That’s an underserved niche. Yesterday I bought a SWEET 22′ Pontoon Boat for fishing/skiing/towing the kids around the lake on tubes.
Obviously with such a hugely valuable niche where people will be spending on average around $30,000 to $60,000 on a boat, there will be tons of information and reviews available, right? Wrong! In fact, MOST of the boats that I was interested in had zero reviews to be found anywhere on the internet. Zero. And all the manufacturers showed was a few pictures, sometimes a sales video, and an abbreviated spec sheet. That’s it. I scoured the internet for unbiased reviews of boats and did not find anything helpful at all.
I couldn’t sleep last night and woke up at 3AM, so I ran upstairs and registered a domain name. I was shocked that it was available, but turns out that this is such a poorly served niche that there are lots of awesome domain names that I had to choose from.
My goal with this site is really only to write about 25-30 pages with information as I learn about boats and do customizations to my boat. I’m also adding a forum. Forums seem to be very popular with boat owners so I’m anxious to have others generate content for me. I don’t have huge plans for this site, but I’m sure it will bring in a few thousand a month if I don’t fizzle out. This is going to be my fun project for the next little while.
How to monetize this site: Sponsorships could make the site huge, advertising could make the site decent, and affiliate sales on products could do well too. I don’t see digital products being huge on this one except for the boat restoration niche, which could be cool. Find some boat repair/restoration experts on the internet and offer them $1,000 to spend two days with you showing you their boat restoration techniques. Hire a videographer for $500 to video the pro teaching you, and sell the video for $199.
Update: Got tired of not seeing anyone make this site. I made a blog about boating in August 2014. The site sold in September 2016 for $74,000. I only wrote 32 articles on that blog and it earned me $74,000. Unbelievably awesome niche! Anything in the boating niche is seasonal, but I found it easy to make money and get traffic. Go after it!
3. Lens Finder
If you are a budding photographer, you know that good lenses are insanely expensive–often costing $2,000 or more. Photographers research lenses to no end before buying. There are lots of good reviews of lenses already available on the Internet, but nobody really helps walk you through the process of selecting a lens.
If you create a website and have the top navigation bar be all the different types of lenses (wildlife lenses, sports lenses, portrait photography lenses, etc) and then make drop down menus for the different brands of cameras, you could create a site where people come, choose what brand of camera they have and what they want their lens to do and viola! You have a page on your site that shows them the good, better, and best lens options at different price points. This kind of site could be really popular and insanely useful. That’s a recipe for success.
How to monetize this site: Did I mention that the Amazon.com commission on one of those lenses is about $80? That’s a pretty healthy commission if you get hundreds of thousands of people coming to your site who want to buy a lens.
Suggested domain name: Findalens.com is available right now.
Type of site: Semi-passive niche site with need to update regularly
Update: Sorry folks! This idea was too awesome and nobody took it for over a year. So, I made it myself at http://improvephotography.com/lensfinder It’s earnings are mixed into my other affiliate tags for that site so I can’t say for sure exactly how much it earns, but it seems to be doing well.
4. Traveling Cats
If you start a website about pets in general, it may be difficult to get traffic. There are MILLIONS of pet websites, and many of them have teams of writers.
However, what if you make a website about traveling with a cat? You could recommend cat carriers, devices to keep them cool in a car, etc. Search on Amazon to see what type of product you could recommend to people, but then make the website helpful to pet owners who want to travel. Answer questions and give good tips. Then mention products in articles that could help them too.
How to monetize this site: I would monetize with Amazon Affiliate and then add ads from Adthrive once you’re up to 90,000 pageviews a month.
Type of site: Passive niche site.
Suggested domain name: I’m surprised that travelwithcats.com is available. Someone needs to buy it ASAP. GREAT niche!
5. Video Editing Hardware
A few months ago I was in the market for a new desktop computer that could handle editing 1080p video. I didn’t want a computer that could handle 1080p video. I wanted a computer that could eat, chew, and spit out 1080p video. I was tired of waiting for things to render. So, I set out to find good computers for video editing. What a mess! Thousands of articles, thousands of opinions from computer nerds, and nobody simply told me the answer. I just wanted a page that has good, better, best and then to SHOW ME in a practical sense what it is like editing video on that machine. I spent days researching whether I should build my own computer (which would be a good topic in and of itself) or if I could find one for a decent price that did what I wanted it to do.
There are lots of resources about finding computers for video editing, but nobody answered my questions in a simple way. That means there is an unfulfilled niche.
How to monetize this site: Obviously, this screams affiliate marketing to get a commission from expensive computer equipment. But this site could also benefit from a video course as well. You could get all the parts the people need and show them exactly what to buy, then create a video course showing them step-by-step how to put the computer together with exactly those pieces. Show them on video how the computer performs at that price and how it will perform if you spend a little more money on hardware.
Type of site: Semi-passive niche site with need to update yearly
Suggested domain name: You could pick something like HardwareForVideo.com which is currently available.
6. Concealed Carry
This one only really applies to people in the United States. International readers, just skip on to the next one.
I was recently looking at information about carrying a concealed weapon. With so many mass shootings, I thought it might be a good idea to consider.
First of all I looked for information about carrying concealed in my state. There was practically no information available. I wanted to know how to get a concealed carry permit, where people are allowed to/not allowed to carry if you have a permit, how to legally carry while in a car, etc. You could create an incredibly useful page of your site using Pat Flynn’s Createaclickablemap.com for this and create an amazing resource.
Also, I looked for information on the best handguns for concealed carry. There were tons of product reviews, but nobody made this simple for me and just wrote the 10 most popular options.
Then, I wanted more information on safety, finding a good home safe, etc. I had to hunt around Google for days to find all the info I wanted. Would have been awesome (and valuable!) if someone would have done the research for me and presented it in an easy-to-digest manner. That person could be you…
Suggested domain name: ConcealedCarryWorld.com
Type of site: Passive niche site
7. Tiny Homes (Or backyard offices)
I’ve recently been spending hours and hours researching building tiny homes. Tiny homes are homes generally under 250 square feet. Some people actually live in these things and build them on trailers so they are portable or else put them on concrete blocks. They are inexpensive to build and some people like the simple life.
I have been looking at these as a possible backyard office. The problem is all of the plans and information about building a backyard office includes a kitchen and bathroom–two things I don’t need. I just want an inexpensive office that I can build in my backyard to cut out the commute and unnecessary expense of office space for a blogger.
The tiny home space is definitely big enough for another good site, but the backyard office niche is TOTALLY uncharted territory on the web. Fill that void!
The other thing that I wanted to learn (and another opportunity to use the CreateAClickableMap site that I mentioned previously, would be to have info on local laws about building and living in tiny homes.
How to monetize the site: Monetization on a site like this is somewhat tougher. The problem is that the VAST majority of people who go to a tiny homes website are just lurkers. They are just fascinated by the idea but will never ACTUALLY build a tiny home. Thus, they’ll never buy an online course showing them how to build their tiny home, or use your Amazon affiliate links to buy products for their tiny home. Realistically, the best monetization strategy for this website is ads. Ad revenue is very small for sites with under 30k pageviews/month so your first year will likely be pretty dry. HOWEVER, ad revenue builds up quickly when you can get to a private media seller like Adthrive (requires 80k pageviews/month) or MediaVine (requires 30k pageviews/month). Ad revenue is very consistent and passive, so it could be a very nice site.
Suggested domain name: OfficeInTheBack.com
Type of site: Passive niche site
8. Dog Sports Gear
It was really random how I came across this keyword, but it’s severely less competitive than I would think it would be. In the last few years the phrase “dog sports” has popped up. When you start typing the keyword in Google, you’ll see that it brings up the suggested search “dog sports gear.” Bingo!
When someone does a search for something like “dog sports GEAR” it means “I’m bored on the internet and want to buy something for my dog.” Those are the best kind of customer 🙂
Suggested domain name: SportyDogGear.com
How I’d monetize the site: Personally, I’d build up the site for 8 months or a year with just Amazon Associates commissions. Once the site hits about $2,000 per month, I’d probably start private labeling Amazon products with the brand name or move into something like drop shipping.
Type of site: Passive niche site
9. Airsoft World
Little known fact about me is that I love a good game of airsoft on the weekends. Like in most cities, there is a group of about 200 people (mostly guys but there are some women who play) who get together every weekend to play. The airsoft guns are not anything like the tiny pump guns that kids buy at Walmart. These guys spend hundreds on their guns, more on camo, and even have radio comm and military style helmets. It’s serious to these guys.
There is SO little information available on the web about airsoft that it’s actually a bit shocking. I built a very very small website in airsoft about 6 months ago and found I just didn’t have the time to pursue it. With only a handful of articles, it is already getting 1,000 views per month. It took me about 2 hours to put that site together.
Someone who really attacked this niche could absolutely CRUSH IT!
Suggested domain name: Airsoftworld.com is available for registration right now.
Type of site: Passive niche site
UPDATE: A reader of the site started working on this idea and is building it at AirsoftForest.com.
10. Pottery
This could be a really cool niche site if you have any interest in getting into pottery–it’s fine if you’re not into it right now. Pottery is a specialized art form that requires several pieces of equipment (hence amazon purchases) and is complicated enough that anyone learning it would need a good tutorial.
How to monetize this site: I think this one is obvious. Amazon affiliate.
Suggested domain name: Spinningpots.com is available right now
Type of site: Passive niche site
11. Wall Decorating
Take the exact same business model from tip #10 above and apply it to wall decorating.
My wife is an excellent home decorator. I don’t remember the last time someone came into my home without hearing a comment on the way my wife decorates. One comment I frequently hear is “Oh! That looks so nice! I wish I could figure out how to put things together like that.”
Many people (especially, but not only women) would love to decorate their homes nicely. But when they go through stores they, like me, see lots of nice items but do not have a vision for how they could go together.
Create a blog showing your own great wall designs (meaning how you put things together on a wall) and your audience would be nearly as big as everyone who has a wall in their home.
This business would be ridiculously simple to market. Just take pictures of the wall decorating ideas you make and pin them on Pinterest! I wouldn’t even bother creating much of a blog. Just spend time on Pinterest and you could absolutely KILL it!
How to monetize this site: I would probably focus for about 3 months on getting lots of content and developing a Pinterest following. Then, have a “buy this wall” each month. Source items that all go together beautifully that you could drop ship and let someone buy the whole wall for $500. You don’t need to touch inventory because the items are all drop shipped.
The nice thing is you don’t even need to worry about how to put together a drop shipped item for a while. Just spend some time getting some Pinterest traffic and you’ll soon find yourself with an audience ready to spend on home goods who trusts that you know what looks good.
Suggested domain name: OneWholeWall.com
12. Makeup To Go
Do you notice a trend in the last few ideas? People on the web no longer want information spread across 20 websites. They want to find one targeted website that has precisely what they need all in one place.
Do you think someone has thought of making a website about makeup before? Yep, tens of thousands of them. But what about a site that shows you precisely the makeup styles that women want, including precisely how to apply it and precisely the brands of makeup you use?
This is another site my wife would love to visit. She has bought a couple books teaching makeup styles. It would be awesome if there were a site where each blog post was a full A-to-Z makeup style. Take a face with no makeup, show exactly which makeups you’re using and a video of how you apply the makeup. Show the finished result.
Before-and-Afters have a big impact and it’s really shareable content, so I think a site like this could dominate on Pinterest.
I think you DEFINITELY need to do a Youtube channel if you’re doing a site about makeup. Makeup tutorials are often the top trending content on Youtube.
How to monetize this site: I think Amazon affiliate and ads could be a good way to monetize this site.
Suggested domain name: NewLookTonight.com
13. Home Automation
I love finding ways for my home to do work FOR me. I install self-closing hinges instead of constantly asking the kids to shut the door to the toy room, I have Amazon Alexa set up to turn on my tv and change all my inputs when I verbally ask it to, I have digital door locks and wifi lightbulbs, etc.
Home automation is a hot category and would make for an interesting niche site.
I am not big on social media for niche sites. It wastes a ton of time and over the last 3 years has proven to provide less and less traffic as Facebook, Instagram, and other social media sites have made changes to hurt small businesses. However, for a site like this you’d be FAR better off with a Youtube channel to push traffic to the site.
How to monetize this site: Advertising revenue would be nice after 80,000 pageviews (where many ad networks will take your site and revenue increases dramatically from Google Ads), and also affiliate programs.
Suggested domain name: AutomateYourDigs.com
14. Helping Families Divorce Without Hurting the Kids
On the opposite end of #13, some marriages are destined for failure when one or both partners fail to live up to their promises or become extremely abusive.
The parents aren’t the only interested parties. Loving parents want to take care of and protect their kids during trying times such as a divorce. Create a website about what worked to help your kids through your divorce, advice from experts you interview, and ask your readers what has worked for them.
How to monetize this site: To me, this site screams “Divorce Kit!” A $249 downloadable product with an audio course that people can listen to while commuting, a book with a step-by-step plan, and activities to do with the kids to help them understand and cope.
Suggested domain name: MyKidsDivorce.com is currently available.
15. Presentation Coach
Everyone must present at some point. Whether it is a school presentation, business meeting, pitching a business to an investor, teaching a lesson in church, or presenting oneself at a job interview… we all do it.
Most presentations are boring! A website about public speaking, creating a good powerpoint, visual aids and object lessons, etc would be really valuable.
Content like this would be a fantastic podcast. I’d subscribe. Become the expert and you could find yourself coaching some big names faster than you might imagine.
How to monetize the site: Coaching, online courses, Powerpoint presentation templates, etc.
Suggested domain name: KillTheSlideshow.com
16. DIY Deposition
One of these days when I have the time for it, I’d love to create a small niche site (just 35 pages and then leave the site to gain income passively over the long haul) about how to video a deposition. I’m a lawyer (non-practicing since I’m a full-time blogger), which makes this niche site particularly interesting to me.
A deposition is a formal meeting between a party to a lawsuit and another party such as the opposing party to the lawsuit, a witness, an expert witness, etc. Basically two lawyers sit down with their clients while one lawyer grills someone for 8 hours–but it’s in an office and not in the courthouse. When a deposition is taken, the lawyers need to video record it to have as evidence.
There are many companies who specialize in videoing depositions, and as you might imagine, they can be quite expensive. Some lawfirms have seemingly endless money, but MOST do not. I have done some keyword research and it looks to me like this would be a really nice niche site.
You could teach how to make a simple professional video recording of the deposition, learn and share information on how to do the audio, etc. Best of all, you can recommend camera and pro audio gear that could cost several thousand dollars. This would earn you a nice commission.
How to monetize the site:You could teach how to make a simple professional video recording of the deposition, learn and share information on how to do the audio, etc. Best of all, you can recommend camera and pro audio gear that could cost several thousand dollars. This would earn you a nice commission.
Suggested domain name: DIYDepositionVideo.com is currently available.
17. Mountain Climbing
Mountain climbing requires a very large amount of expensive gear, and much of it has an expiration date and must be replaced every 2-5 years. So mountain climbing makes a lot of sense as an affiliate product. Also, if you focus your niche on mountain climbing, you also could pick up people interested in indoor rock climbing, rappelling, canyoneering, etc.
How to monetize the site: Amazon affiliate. Also, Cabelas and REI have affiliate programs.
Suggested domain name: climbbigrocks.com
18. Crowd Funding
Kickstarter has taken the world of venture funding and turned it upside down. Kickstarter is a website where inventors and artists take an idea for something they could make, and create a page showing what they want to invent. Then, those who would buy the product if it were available, buy the product and as soon as the inventor has the item finished, mails it to the person who bought it. Many inventors, artists, and entrepreneurs have sold millions of dollars of products before even making the first production run of a prototype.
Create a website showing people how to get good results on kickstarter, how to manufacture a prototype, writing about what ideas do well and what don’t, etc. I guarantee there is a passionate audience for this type of information.
How to monetize the site: The sky is the limit. You could create a kickstarter marketing video course, an eBook on manufacturing a prototype, an eBook on patent law, etc.
Suggested domain name: CrowdFundKing.com is available, as well as CrowdFundQueen.com. Be careful not to use the word Kickstarter in your domain name or you can be guaranteed to hear from the lawyers at Kickstarter.
19. Inventing
I would love to find a great online resource for manufacturing basics. I have had some ideas for products I’d like to invent for my audience, but I have no idea where to start.
On a blog like this, you could write about how to draw up the engineering plans for a product, where to go to get manufacturing for cheap, outsourcing to China, etc. This would be a great topic for an engineer to write about, or someone who is passionate about inventing and wants to share information as he or she learns it.
How to monetize the site: Are you kidding? There are a million possibilities, but this screams “Membership site” to me right now. Anyone prepared to manufacture a product is ready to spend tens of thousands of dollars. Who wouldn’t pay a subscription fee to get you to show them step by step through the process?
Suggested domain name: InventAndManufacture.com
20. 3d Printing
First of all, who cares if this business is going to be successful!?!? I have just given you an idea for how you can justify buying a 3d printer, and even better, it’ll be tax deductible! 🙂
3d printing is a booming industry right now. 3d printers are machines that start with a chunk of plastic and essentially cut out whatever you design on the computer. You can make clothing, jewelry, technology accessories, all kinds of things. Writing a blog about what can be made with 3d printers, reviewing the best 3d printers, and having info on making the best designs would be AWESOME! I might even follow this kind of blog even though I don’t have a 3d printer, just because I want to get one so bad!
How to monetize the site: I think an online class in 3d printing software would be a big hit!
Suggested domain name: 3dprintingtoday.com
21. Storm Chasing
Storm chasing could be a very interesting site. Tens of thousands of people each year leave their homes and roadtrip across the plains states of the US to chase tornadoes and special weather events. This is becoming increasingly popular among photographers.
Teaching people how to chase storms, AND how to do so safely could be a great topic for a niche site.
How to monetize this site: This site would definitely do well with an info product. Also, ads could be a good option.
Suggested domain name: ChaseCrazyStorms.com
22. Finishing a Basement
There are millions of homes with unfinished basements. A website explaining the real costs of finishing a basement, tutorials on how to do the work that is specific to finishing a basement, and sharing inspiration for what a basement could be, would be a great niche website.
How to monetize this site: I would make ONE info product (either an eBook or a video course) sharing the financial part of doing a basement or specific tutorials on finishing a basement could be great. There are already some online courses out there on finishing a basement that you could be an affiliate for. Also, ads could bring in lots of passive income.
Suggested domain name: FinishThatBasement.com is available right now.
23. Sound Mixing
My wife is a fantastic singer/piano player. As in, seriously amazing. She wouldn’t like it much, but I would LOVE to have a CD of her singing some of my favorite songs.
I have looked all over the web for good tutorials on mixing a professional music track, but came up empty handed. Without some audio sweetening and knowing how to set up the mics right, it would sound horrible if I did it myself. I would DEFINITELY buy an online class on sound mixing from someone who really knows their stuff.
You could also interview audio technicians from Hollywood and famous studios, do reviews of popular music tracks, etc.
How to monetize this site: I would make a downloadable video course for this site. Price the main video course at $69.99 and then have tons of upsells for $29.99 for “Vocal Recording Masterclass,” “Piano Recording Masterclass,” “Mixing in Adobe Audition,” etc.
Suggested domain name: TuneRepair.com is available at the time of writing. It’s rare to find a short 10-character domain name still available.
24. Garage organization
Organizing a garage could be a cool site. The reason this one would work well as a niche site is that the products for organizing a garage (garage shelving, tool boxes, work benches, flooring, etc) are the type of item that people buy online and which are expensive.
How to monetize this site: Amazon associates
Suggested name: OCDgarageorganization.com
25. Hacks That Work
I saw a Facebook page pop up in my newsfeed this week that is a pretty cool idea. It’s someone who simply goes through Pinterest and finds really clever tips for life and shares them on a blog. It’s cool, because something like this could get you traffic rolling into the website in an afternoon, not months like it takes with Google traffic.
KEEP IN MIND that this site would likely get much more traffic from Pinterest than Google and thus may not be a stable source of traffic. Sites relying on social sharing of articles are not a slam dunk like informational articles getting Google traffic. This one is a bit more risky.
Pinterest traffic is so excellent because whether your site is 2 minutes or 2 years old, your good content still gets shared around immediately.
But there are tons of sites that share “cool ideas.” The twist that would really help this site build an audience of raving fans is that you actually TEST all of the ideas and share them each day, as either a “success” or “fail.”
So let’s say someone shares on Pinterest that you can easily remove soap scum from a faucet by pouring vinegar on it. Do the actual test and take pictures of the experiment. Share one experiment per day on your blog.
How to monetize this site: This website is one of few sites that I’d probably say advertising is a good option for. Usually I find that advertising doesn’t pay nearly as well as information products, but a site like this could bring in millions of pageviews in short order. Also, you could sell books of the top 100 hacks for different topics.
Suggested domain name: www.hacksthatwork.com is available right now. UPDATE: My brother-in-law is taking this idea and working on it. Hopefully he’ll put in the work and make it awesome. It’s a site I’d like to read.
26. How to Run a Marathon
Frankly, I do not care whether there is a site on the same topic as one I’m building. My most profitable website is a photography website. Not any specific niche of photography. Just photography in general. Guess what? I wasn’t the first photography site. There are hundreds of thousands of sites about photography! It really doesn’t matter. Even if someone else has a “better” site than mine, some people will identify with me, like the way I write better than other sites, will find my site first, etc. You don’t have to be the only one in a niche to make a site work. Not at all! In fact, I have had more success building sites in busy niches than in empty ones. The fact that people are there means there are potential customers and visitors there.
I ran a marathon in September 2013 with my wife Emily. We trained for months, looked for podcasts on running a marathon, read tons of blogs about running your first marathon, bought products and books and running clothes, etc. A marathon is a big deal for people, so if you can help them succeed–you have a fan!
I know what you’re saying. What if this idea sounds good to you, but you aren’t an expert? What if you haven’t ever even run a marathon before? Who cares! Share with others as you learn and just be honest with people that you are learning too, but you want to share what you learn. The Internet is full of self-proclaimed “gurus” so it’s refreshing to read a blog that is down-to-earth.
When you create this site, be sure to add a podcast to it. I looked long and hard for a good running podcast and couldn’t find one I loved.
How to monetize this site: I would definitely go the route of the online course. Make a four month marathon bootcamp. When people buy your online video training, they get the videos of you showing them how it’s done. As an email course, you can set this up so they get email reminders when they are on day 20 what their running schedule should be, etc. You could earn money in a lot of different ways with this site. It would be excellent for sponsorships, but also Amazon affiliate sales and video courses. Heck, even an eBook could be really good for this niche. The door is wide open.
Type of site: Active authority site
Suggested domain name: MarathonNewb.com is available right now. If you use this name, you would probably want to buy MarathonNewbie.com and have it redirect to your main site so that people don’t misspell it. MarathonNewbie.com is currently available, as well as several other possible misspellings.
27. Smart Watch
If you follow the tech industry, you know that wearable activity tracking devices are all the rage right now. Apple, Samsung, Windows, Fitbit, Pebble, and other companies are pouring in hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars into this industry. Yet, I haven’t really seen any good blogs about smart watches.
Register a domain and get on it! You can review all of the current offerings by simply buying them on Amazon, testing them out for a month, and then returning them before your return window ends. I personally don’t have any problem doing this because it means that I’m going to send TONS of traffic to Amazon, so I think it’s in their best interest.
Review the new gear, write about rumors of new devices, test battery life, curate youtube videos of good reviews from others, compare prices, etc.
How to monetize this site: Affiliate marketing and ads
Suggested domain name: wearabledeviceblog.com It’s not an amazing URL, but I’m sure you’ll be able to find something.
28. International Phone
I travel out of the country somewhat frequently to do photography. When I do, I HATE not being able to use my phone normally.
It’s very complicated to figure out what you need to get voice, data, and texting back on your phone in another country without racking up huge bills. Each country is different. Some countries you need to get a local SIM, some countries you just need to call your cell provider and turn on international data, some countries just don’t have good enough service to make it reasonable to use a phone, etc.
Make a website that solves the stupid problem! Make a post for each country and each cell provider with a clear, definitive answer.
How to monetize the site: Link to international sim cards on Amazon, get LOADS of advertising from companies like iroam.com, etc.
29. Snow Cone Shack
This kind of site would be seasonal to some extent because it would obviously be more visited during the summer; however, some places in the world have summer most of the year. Also, a seasonally-active site could actually be a good thing for someone wanting to do more business during that time. For example, a school teacher who is not working during the summer.
In this kind of website you could show how to find a location for a Snow Cone Shack, how to build the kiosk, what company to work with for sourcing flavors and cups, taxes, and pricing. There would be lots of questions someone would have in building a snow cone shack, and you can answer them!
How to monetize this site: The visitors to your site would all be ready to invest some money–most likely at least $10,000. So obviously, you can charge a healthy price for your offerings. I think a video course would probably be your best option here. You could also earn a lot of money from selling leads to companies that franchise snow cone shacks or sell the flavors and machines.
Suggested domain name: I was extremely surprised to find SnowConeShack.com available for registration. I was so surprised that I almost bought the domain just to re-sell it, but I decided to leave that opportunity open for one of you.
30. Live Video Editing
For many years I’ve wanted to be able to record Youtube videos with multiple camera angles and just have a little switcher on my desk that I can just switch which camera is being used. Then when I’m done, I have an already-edited video file on my hard drive ready to upload to Youtube.
Churches are an example of another customer that needs this. Smaller churches don’t have a film crew but do have a few volunteers who could run a basic video switcher to make their sermons available online.
This is an extremely complicated thing to learn and most of the info assumes you’re a video pro. I’ve been testing products like the Black Magic Atem 1/ME (hated it) and the Cerevo Livewedge (love it), and I’m always shocked with how little step-by-step info is available online for learning about this.
A how-to site with lots of product reviews would be FABULOUS! I’m your first reader as long as you do a good job!
How to monetize this site: I’d keep it simple with two monetization strategies: (1) Amazon associates for people who buy the gear, and (2) a $300 1-hour consult over Skype for groups that want your expertise in getting everything set up flawlessly. I’d be shocked if this site didn’t succeed with the right blogger.
Suggested domain name: LiveVideoEditing.com
Type of site: Just make this a niche site for the first several years. Don’t waste a ton of time making a podcast and an in-depth youtube channel. Make a few videos to show some setups but mostly just write blog posts. If you create a podcast episode today, nobody will listen to it again after a few months. Write blog posts that will last. There is no competition here, so don’t get bogged down with social media and crap. Just write!
31. Soundproof Your Home
With floor plans getting more open, homes are getting louder! Many people buy an open floor plan and install hardwood floors instead of carpet and then can’t hear themselves think when the kids are playing in the other room. Also, more and more people are working from home, which means they need a quiet home office.
Soundproofing a room in your home is a popular search term on Google, and there are TONS AND TONS of products you can recommend and link to Amazon for people to buy. And you’ll earn 8% of the products they buy after clicking your affiliate link to Amazon. The best part of it is that the products are often in the $200 range, which I find to be a sweet spot for Amazon Associates. It’s enough money that you get a good commission, but not so absurdly expensive that people won’t buy.
You could link to soundproof blankets to put on a glass door of an office, rubber padding to put in door jams, how to quiet a noisy computer fan, how to silence squeaks in a floor, etc. All of those articles would also mention products on Amazon. This could be a very passive site.
How to monetize this site: I’d keep it simple. Just use Amazon Associates. It’s free to sign up and you get a 4-8% commission on most items you refer.
Suggested domain name: quietmyhouse.com
Type of site: Very passive niche site
UPDATE: I created SoundProofExpert.com and wrote just seven articles on it. I got distracted and never finished the site. I usually like 50 articles on a niche site. Anyway, 1.5 years later, the site started earning $400/month in passive income from just SEVEN ARTICLES! We gave the site away as a contest on the Income School Youtube channel. Watch this video on our Youtube channel to see all of the details of this site–how much traffic we got, how long it took to get traffic, and all the earnings. We reveal everything about that project in the video. Oh, and be sure to subscribe to Income School!
32. Style Your Truck
I recently bought a Ford F-150. It’s a beautiful truck already, but I felt like it was a little too “vanilla” for my taste. I wanted it to look a little more custom and stylized.
Then I started looking around town and noticed that just about every truck out there has been stylized and personalized with a vast array of products: roll bars, bumper bars, lift kit, steps, bed liners, those plastic deflection things above the windows, vinyl, etc.
So I thought a really cool website would be a site that shows tons of ideas for personalizing and stylizing your truck with off-the-shelf parts made by third party companies.
I think this is a KILLER niche because site visitors will have just spend tens of thousands of dollars on a truck, so a couple hundred on accessories won’t feel like a big deal. Also, MOST of the products in this niche would likely be in the $100 to $300 range, which I find is the sweet spot for niche sites. More expensive and people research it for weeks before buying (and consequently your affiliate link expires before purchase), or too inexpensive and the commission is simply too small without massive volume.
How to Monetize this Site: I would go for straight affiliate commissions on this site. Do not even CONSIDER wasting your time with creating your own info products. Just link to the parts.
Suggested Domain Name: StyleYourTruck.com is available as of the time of writing this post.
Type of Site: Extremely passive niche site.
33. Drones
I’ve been flying quadcopters and RC helicopters for 5 years. I bought the original DJI phantom when it was announced and have owned several since then.
Drones are a RED HOT industry. I had an article rank about drones on my photography site and I received messages from the two largest drone manufacturers’ marketing departments about it. I also saw many affiliate commissions come through from that article when people were buying drones.
On the ABC show Shark Tank, I’ve never seen the sharks so excited as they were when a small drone company came on the show. They recognized what a hot industry this was and fought over it.
Create a site about drones and make this one an active website. Review drones as they come out, write about the rumors of upcoming drone leaks, tips for flying drones, embed youtube videos of things people are doing with drones, etc. Dominate this niche!
There are lots of websites out there about drones right now, but there really isn’t anyone out in the lead on this one. The sites I’ve seen could be easily overtaken by a skilled blogger.
How to Monetize the Site: This site is ripe for products. Video courses on how to pass the Part 107 exam in the United States, courses on cinematography with drones, how to start an aerial photography business, etc. When you have these courses created, PLEASE email me because I’ll gladly be an affiliate for your products. I could send you TONS of business from my photography site.
Suggested Domain Name: DroneUserSchool.com
Type of Site: Actively managed authority site.
34. Baby Photography Props
Baby photography involves tons of props, and it can be hard to find good props on Amazon or other sources. A website with tons of ideas for baby props could be an excellent website that could probably rank quickly.
How to Monetize the Site: For the entire first year at least, I’d just make this an Amazon Associates website. Link to products on amazon and earn a percentage. Eventually, you could be an affiliate for photography training courses once you have at least 100,000 pageviews per month.
Suggested Domain Name: Babyphotographyproplover.com
Type of Site: Passive income.
35. DIY Kitchen Upgrades
The average cost of a major kitchen renovation is over $15,000. Ouch! Yet, there are SO many ways to make a kitchen look beautiful for just a few hundred dollars. It’s actually something I’m doing right now in my own kitchen. I bought decorative posts for the island, I’m putting brick facade on front of the island, changing the backsplash, putting wooden decorative feet under the cabinets, putting in decorative corbels under the cabinets, adding under-cabinet lighting, and painting the cabinets. All of these things can be done for under $150 per project. A website just about inspiration for kitchen upgrades could be fantastic!
How to Monetize the Site: The affiliate program for Lowes and Home Depot stinks. It’s only around 2%, which simply isn’t enough. I would sign up for Amazon Associates to recommend items like a kitchen island post and hardware. But also I think a site like this could get a HUGE amount of traffic from Pinterest if you have nice pictures, so I would definitely consider putting ads on a site like this. I usually find that a site can earn about $1,000 per month for every 100,000 visitors to the site. Frankly, with a site like this you could get that much traffic pretty quickly. I use Adthrive right now to run the ads on my sites.
Suggested Domain Name: BetterDIYKitchen.com is available at the time of writing.
Type of Site: Passive income from ads and affiliate. If you had a following on Pinterest it certainly wouldn’t hurt.
36. Dirt Bike Newbie
I just started getting into dirt bikes. They are SOO much fun! Unfortunately, I’ve found it difficult to find good answers to the things I’m searching for on newbie dirt bike topics. For example, “How many CCs should I get for a kids bike?” Or “What protective gear do most kids wear for dirt biking” or “What is the best beginner adult dirt bike?” If you can answer those questions and create a helpful site answering them, it could be quite profitable.
How to Monetize the Site: This site is an obvious affiliate play because the GEAR is super expensive for dirt bikes and not readily available in all sizes in stores, so buying online is popular. You could also put ads on the site.
Suggested Domain Name: dirtbikenewbie.com is available right now.
Type of Site: Extremely passive affiliate site.
UPDATE: I got into this niche myself. I purchased DirtBikePlanet.com and am working to grow the site. It’s already bringing in income!
37. Fly Tying
If you’re into fly fishing, or you think you might want to learn about fly fishing to start getting into it, fly tying could be a great sub-niche. You might think fishing is a very small niche, but did you know that more people will go fishing this year than play tennis or baseball combined? It’s a huge topic and fly tying doesn’t look to be too competitive. As fly tying requires a lot of different items that people could purchase online.
How to Monetize the Site: I would start with amazon affiliate and then once you get traffic, I’d make a subscription site on how to tie each of the most popular flies. You could have really well done tutorials on how to tie hundreds of flies and people could pay for a subscription to get all of them.
Suggested Domain Name: tieflies.com
Type of Site: Small authority site
UPDATE: FlyTyingEnthusiast.com is available at the time of writing.
WARNING!!! BE CAREFUL in choosing your site idea! While I think there are millions of ideas that can work, I’ve also had the sad experience dozens and dozens of times of seeing someone who poured 6 months of effort into a site that really stood very little chance of succeeding. The idea just wasn’t sound. If you’d like some help with your niche site idea before you start, check out Project 24 where I teach you exactly how to build your site and use it to earn a living. I’ve covered “picking a niche and domain name” in great detail.
We certainly can’t promise that your idea will succeed. Your success will depend on your effort and skill. But having built MANY successful niche sites, and earning a full-time income online for the last 5 years, I have enough experience to tell you things at the start of your journey that can save you thousands of hours and missed opportunities later on.
I have been a fan of Improve Photography and have learned a great deal. I have also been thinking and dreaming about making money online and when I heard about Income School, I made the commitment to do it. I am going into the Photojournalism and Concealed Carry business. Thanks for the motivation and advice!
@William – Sweet! Glad you’re liking the new site. Interested to see what Photojournalism and Concealed Carry have in common for a site…
I have followed Improve Photography for years now, and it is my all time favorite podcast to listen to! Until now! I’ve recently started a few different directions to try and better my financial future. I have never been involved with network marketing and wasn’t the best with social media until recently. I joined a company called It Works and started doing tons of research on the topics above. I felt like it would be a waste not to share the information but didn’t realize that I would be able to make an income from it! I started http://www.skinnywrapuniversity.com and have only launched 3 days ago. I had 200 visitors to my site yesterday I was so excited! I am not sure how I will be able to monetize this later and would love if you used me as an example in a future podcast to give me a little better direction! Thanks so much for all of this amazing information you rock!
@Lisa Wellott – If you’d like to be used as an example, then how about we hop on a call and we can do an episode of the podcast as a coaching call and I can answer any questions you have and give you some direction on how to monetize. If you’re up for it, shoot me an email at [email protected] and we’ll set it up.
Jim, excellent post! I found your site from Kim Roach’s recommendation. I have been working on a site featuring tips on improving the performance of sports cars and muscle cars. I had thought that affiliate sales were the only way to go, but your techniques have me rethinking the site. I would appreciate your thoughts on this type of website. Thanks for sharing such great information.
Jim,
I am a 16-year professional, yet still unknown standup comedian. You can easily Google my name, yet I have no monetized website of my own to speak of. I want to build a huge following as a comedian and have never figured out how to go about it. The web address above is just my press kit from a gig lead site (I own the domain name). I do have a blog and recently built a podcast in my den, although have yet to begin the podcast. I’m on FB, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Essentially, I’m all over the place with no direction as to how to create a site that will allow me to build a comedy following and at the same time monetize the site. I also teach comedy defensive driving and the name of my blog is “Laws Of Life” (LOL). I’m a proud Texan, but not to proud to ask for advice. I found your site and love the content and hope you might offer a little direction. ANY direction would be greatly appreciated!
Hey Todd I saw this post and decided to check out your comic work on youtube. I love the demo set you have on there. That’s the only thing I’ve seen so far. I definitely think your funny! The part about the weird things you can go to jail for is hilarious! Keep up the great work!
Hi Jim,
you put some great ideas together. I also think sharing ideas is crucial for success rather than keeping them locked up and hidden in ya brain.
I like your 1millioncalories idea because I got something in mind which is related to connected fitness. It’s a mix of wearables and food/nutrion and might be complimentary to your idea.
Would love to talk with you about it.
Drop me a an email
Best,
Aziz
Great insights about affiliate marketing. This is what I need to become a succesfull affiliate marketer. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Jim,
I’ve been researching making money from home a lot lately and just ran across your site this week. I am interested in starting a concealed carry info website. I have started writing and doing some research and was wondering if you’d be willing to put it up on this blog once it’s up and running to help boost some traffic on it? I don’t have the website yet but I’m getting there.
Thanks.
Hey Tylynn,
The best way to use other blogs to get traffic to your site would be to write a guest post on a topic that ties the two sites together. So, for example, if you wanted to write an article about your experience building a niche website and how you’re using it to earn side income, that’s something that we would happily post for you. In your article you can write an intro to your site to hopefully draw some people in and get them interested in going to your site. I would expect nothing less.
I would also recommend you do the same thing on other blogs that are in niches that are similar to yours but not exactly the same. For example, you might be able to write a guest post for knifeup.com that talks about concealed carry from the knife perspective. Again, that article could point to your site, but the content would be applicable for readers of the knifeup site as well.
I hope that helps and makes sense. If you’re really interested in starting a site and want some guidance to help you along the way, I recommend you check out Niche Site School. It’s affordable and we walk you through exactly how we build new niche websites and make them successful.
Hi Jim, this content is fantastic congratulations
Thanks James! We’re doing our best to make all of our content as helpful as possible.
First off I would like to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question which I’d
like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your
head prior to writing. I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts
in getting my ideas out. I truly do enjoy writing however it
just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?
Kudos!
very good site
Great info you have here. I’ve recently launched my affiliate website and hopefully I am doing the right stuffs. Glady I found your site. Those ideas are helpful to me. Thanks!
Please Jimy,
I need you to help me on how to register a DOMAIN NAME.

Am looking @ what new niches to try out.
Thanks appreciated
very goodd post
Hi Guys, great post! Not sure how long ago you added the Drone idea but it is a niche I have been researching for a week or so prior to stumbling onto your ‘Stop using keyword research tools’ Youtube vid. I decided to go for it and ended up with droneuseracademy.com. There is a ton of great names parked doing nothing and a rudimentory search shows very little in authority site so i believe it still has very good potential. I have a friend who is a CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority) licensed pilot here in Australia with a successful business in aerial photography and video production so I have a great resource to tap…looking forward to getting started. Thanks again for the post, it was the kick in *** i needed.
Hi, what do you think of blogging and personal finance niche thanks
Nice to Post, It’s bring me some ideas regarding my services blog. I am working with some of Pest Control, Movers and Packers, Security Services Cleaning Services in Dubai Niche sites.
Looking for some suggestion, Places or blogs where i can get quality back-links.
Your content’s very powerfull. Well done with your passion.. congrat then.
Good tips and ideas, thnx! 🙂
hi, i’m looking to create a blog which checks or uncovers whether a trending news article is real or fake. What do you think? Is it marketable?
Just wanted to leave a big “thank you”. The niches are great, your description of them is great. No bullshit, just pure value!
Thanks
Dear Jim
Thanks a ton for this! I currently have one site and this amazing post was exactly what I needed to push me to start another I have chosen http://4kmoviereview.blogspot.com … I have been accepted for adsense on the first website and think il monetize this new one after some time with adsense…Amazon affiliate from the on set… busy with content ….thanks again… awesome post! Awesome site…
Glad to see you taking an idea and running with it. However, I would NOT choose blogspot for your website. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend self-hosted wordpress.
Hi Jim… thanks so much for your reply… adds to my drive for building the site… yeah I read its best to be self hosted and on WordPress just awaiting some funds.. then will migrate over to WP and self hosting… this is the skeleton to judge for now… seems quite good… I in get stuck with migrating to WP or have some questions may i ask you pls?
Please..in any case keep that list updated!
I have to say this was very helpfull! i had interest in making a website but actually had no ideia where to begin, this gave some ideias that i’m definitely sure will be helpfull in the future.
I did launch my affiliate marketing site and I was having trouble making sales unto it. I do hope that after applying what you said will make my site better. Many thanks to you for sharing those tips.
I find lot of good keywords for my micro niche from competitors and build quality backlinks. Exactly two Months back i started a niche site which is performing well in search engines. I target only Indian audience.
I see this blog good quality and excellent. I earn good knowledge and skill.
I have seen many old websites dyeing due to non profitability and the need of the hour is to stay informed. Thanks for sharing the ideas I am going to start with it right now.
Thanks so much for providing this website! Helps motivate me to make a niche website ! Just started my first at http://www.autotidy.wordpress.com please check it out when it’s done!

Bonjour,
Your article is so great, you are within the very fiew people who came up with a true significant list of niches thank you..
I liked your idea for putting together an outfit and link the items for sell, but when i checked the clothings on Amazone its not really easy to download a good quality image of the item to work on it on Photoshop no talking about when a part of the clothing is covered with the model hair or hand.. makes me feel like spending hours to treat the images.
i just wanted you to think about that, check the images and tell me what you think..
but it was really an idea that gave me motivation since it is my 1st world problem too 🙂
Hi Hayat,
What I’ve usually found on Amazon is that if I click on the image, it will open up the full size image which I can save and work from. These aren’t super high-resolution images. But when we put our images on our site, we usually like to keep them fairly small anyway to speed up load times.
Now, photoshopping out hair or hands can take a lot of time and may not be worth it. I guess my advice is to pick the image on Amazon that will take the least work to cut out, and then don’t worry about making it look totally perfect for your site. One option is to make it look like you basically cut all of the different items out of magazines and put them together, like people used to do back when they read magazines. That might actually be a cool approach.
Dear Jim..
I came across the article in Dec… which created a free blogger site for 4k reviews.. however you advised that I should go self hosted on wordpress… thanks to your help and advise.. that’s what I did… pls check it out as I will appreciate any insights you have … the add is http://4kreviewers.com . Thanks for all the work put in to this post it is so amazing and helpful things one won’t even think of themselves. Will be checking in to always see any new ideas as we reach the top 50. Thanks again. Love your work.
Hi,
I am running a Movie review blog, but don’t know how to monetize. Any suggestions ? Thanks for the awesome post.
Hi Nancy,
I invite you to take a look at our article on how we find great Niche topics to earn money. In that article, I talk about all the ways we monetize our sites, and from there I think you’ll easily be able to figure out the best ways to monetize yours. Take a look https://stage-income.stagenot.live/site-ideas/
Brilliant as always. The calibre of guests coming on is getting better by the show.
Great ideas thanks for sharing !
I really enjoy the blog article.Thanks Again. Keep writing.
Great article, just commenting to let you know that in tip #31 you link your website as soundproofexpert.co and was saddened to see this was not a site, but I added an m to the end and found a working link. Just a heads up that your link is wrong.
Hi John,
Thanks for the catch. I just updated the article with that correction.
I was really looking for something that would make my affiliate niche blog make sales. I hope to see some good results after applying what you said. Many thanks buddy!
Very help to my newly launch affiliate career. I been in so much struggle how to have sale and how to promote to make people buy. Thank you so much!
My affiliate blogs were stagnant for so long. I didn’t made any sales and wanted to quit, however I am very hopefull after reading your article. Seems I can see a light and feels excited again. Hope to see my first sale after I will apply what you had said. I appreacite you posted something like this to help us newbie. 🙂
Thanks for the information. You really did a well reasarched work to compile this niche site ideas.
I appreciate that I learned from your article. I been looking for some ways on how to make my affiliate blogs work like magic, I mean having sales. I am having a hard time in making sales. I do hope I can see changes after a couple of months. Many thanks again.
Great ideas
I am so grateful for your blog article.Thanks Again. Great.
I just newly launched my affiliate site and struggling how to make sales unto it. What you’ve said are very helpful to me. I’m positive that I will see improvement on the next couple of months. Thank you!
Hi Buddy! It’s always a pleasure meeting fellow marketers online. I agree with Affiliate Marketing being a good online business. Cheers!
Very well written article about affiliate marketing. You have described everything about it. I really needed to know about basics of it so that i can work on my site as well, improve it and make sales effectively.
Thanks for this post. I?ve learnt something new today. Affiliate marketing is one of the most popular ways to monetize online content. Will suerely read more post from you!
I think far too many people see the internet as a way to make a quick buck. As this article suggests, you need to be in it for a long run and do things properly to really benefit.
I simply want to mention I am beginner to weblog and actually loved your web-site. Likely I?m want to bookmark your website . You certainly come with beneficial articles and reviews. Kudos for sharing with us your webpage.
Great ideas Jim. I am interested into a boat buying guide. Also i have interest in kitchen appliance and household appliances. Your list of ideas has motivated me to work on them and start making money online.
Agreed, especially Lens finder and Tiny home. They’re very potential.
Thanks so much for the article.Thanks Again. Want more.
I value the article.Thanks Again. Great.
Extremely good post! I can’t wait to read about the remaining niches.
Your information is very usefull and clear. Very helpful to affiliate marketers to help them improve sites to target nice sales.
Great information you have here. I think the hardest part for a lot of people especially newcomers to understand is that it takes time as you pointed out.
Great advise for all new affiliates. It takes a long time to get a reasonable amount of traffic. This will help a lot of people out
Hats Off Post ^_^
Those are really some fab tips listed here. I hope this will work and help me.
Great advise for all new affiliates. It takes a long time to get a reasonable amount of traffic. This will help a lot of people out
Great article! I’m currently trying to understand affiliate marketing, really interested to start my own website. Many Thanks!
25. Hacks that work
I like the sound of the idea, however, I think Instructables took that to the next level allowing a community to submit and show their hacks and DIYs. Also, in addition, Etsy just opened a new site named Etsy Studio where it shows people how to make stuff and everything they show; they sell.
Great content! But I think 3D Printing is too competitive now.
Trust is definitely an important aspect of selling. With affiliate marketing there are some ways you could attempt to make money quickly without keeping your audience?s best interest in mind.
Nice post Man, but i didn’t find what am good at.
such a nice post
thanks for sharing with us
Thanks for the article. Keep writing.
Great Ideas, thanks for sharing these cool topics.
Great goods from you, man. I’ve understand your stuff previous to and you’re just too magnificent.
Thank you for the great tips. I think affiliate marketing does depend on the relevant and quality content ,traffic volume and appearance of the site.
Hey Really thanks for sharing useful information…
Thanks for taking the time to write this post and share your ideas with others!
Great post! Lots of money making tips that everyone should try and use on their websites. I certainly will be using some of these tips on my blog. Thanks very much!
Awesome article post.Thanks Again. Really Great.
Useful write up, thanks for sharing your ideas.
This great! Thanks for sharing
I am a budding marketer, here is my drone site, abar-above.com I am currently working on getting my sfoc in Canada to start my aerial business, would love some extra traffic if you could link me in!
great article !
Hey Scott,
I just checked out your website, and I noticed that front and center you have an issue with what seems to be a popup loader.
If you’d like to chat about fine-tuning your website, hit me up!
My website is GenerationDomain.com. What do you think? Any suggestions? Thank you!
Absolutely great post I loved the last point the you have to do something different rather then promoting affiliate products in traditional matter.
I like your writing skills; nice site list.
Great ideas, thanks buddy for this awesome blog post.
I have been blogging for 2 years but haven?t tried affiliate marketing to earn. This is really helpful for beginners like me. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Ricky Kesler for THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE AND INFORMATIVE LIST of real niche site possibilities!!! This list is well researched, with REAL actionable ideas for getting started. I have researching this topic for years but have not been compelled to actually execute and get started… today is the day I will execute. Thank you for the extra kick in the butt to get going, I’m truly grateful! You have truly out done all of the ‘so called’ niche gurus a few of which send me email all the time that is not useful at all and they want you to pay for way less then what you have provided! {I’m definitely unsubscribing from them all ASAP!}. I wish I would have found you sooner, but they say everything happens in its own time for a reason. I’m so excited! I’ll keep you informed of my progress.
Its best and great article for niche site ideas.
Its so much helpful.
Thanks
I generally don’t comment on articles but this time i just couldn’t stop myself. Not appreciating you for writing such deeply informative and well researched article would be a cheating.
Thanks man. A Great Post. Thinking of starting niche marketing soon.
Good post. Thanks. I jumped in too quickly into my first niche and spent so much money and time before having to nix the idea. But all lessons are learned!
Thanks for your list.. it?s very useful to everyone..
It’s very helpful list and thanks for the list..
Informative – Well done!
That’s really great ideas that I have ever come accross with. I was in need of a niche that can help me in both putting Adsense as well as Affiliate. Thanks a lot buddy. Now I can invest safely. 🙂 Cheers.
Really good information shared with us..
Really nice post. Thanks for sharing with us..
As in my experience, affiliate marketing is the easiest way to make money on the internet today. Thanks so much for sharing this incredible post
What would you do with a website called very cool stuff? I don’t know what to write xD
I think you could do anything with it. Write about the coolest new gadgets coming out. Or write about the coolest things people do. Maybe both? You could take this any direction you wanted.
I would like to start an Amazon affiliate, e commerce site, should I use self-hosted WordPress or is Shopify OK? Thanks for all the great information.
If your focus is ecommerce then Shopify is probably fine. If you want to get lots of traffic through articles on a niche topic and generate passive income through Amazon Associates affiliate program then a self-hosted WordPress site is definitely the way to go. The beauty of this approach is that you can generate a lot of traffic, and therefore income, by creating really useful content. Then, if you also want to do ecommerce through Shopify, you can just link to your Shopify site.
This is a great article! I deal with domains and niches are closely connected with domains. I added this page as a resource to one of my posts.
I am a beginner sketch artist . I have been working as a web developer also. I don’t want to be dependent on job. I searched many types of niches for affiliate marketing but didn’t get right approach. Check my drawings on my youtube channel Rajarts https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXppxp7c9lNn7zp1-u8SoPQ and suggest me how can i earn through affiliate marketing. What can i sell through affiliate links as i have not much collections of drawings. Actually i am confused about the niche for making a website. Please suggest something related to arts. I am very much confused. I need your suggestion.
Wow!
Good collection of Ideas but I am still in confusion about which niche to choose.
All the niches mentioned above are good but I have no knowledge in those.
Will it be good to choose a niche in which I have very little knowledge? will it help?
Thank You!
It’s best to pick something you either know something about or that you’re interested in. If you have a hobby that you love and know a lot about that can help. Check out stage-income.stagenot.live/free-niche-site-tutorial for some more guidance on picking a niche.
Great Article…I just love to read you…
Thanks for taking the time to write this post and share your ideas with others!
Well Written post and
Great list of niche ideas.
Everyone should be careful when choosing niche for his site.
This is actually very helpful. I am about to choose one idea from here. If it succeeds as I know it will. I sure will come back and thank you.
You have some really interesting niche businesses on your list. Like your domain suggestions as well.
Awesome post Thank you for sharing
great article about niche sites these are amazing topics thanks for sharing
Thank you for making this page!! I’m currently in the process of making a drone site and it should be up in two weeks. Is your offer still available?
Hey Jim and Ricky. I want to thank you for the info and genuine help you guys are providing to us all. You will be highly rewarded I am sure. This is the same thing Alex Becker did, showing his website, ranking tactics and earnings. He had his mattress on the floor back then, you should see where he is now.
Its sad to know many people will never take action on this post even though for some, the key to financial freedom actually lies in this post. I personally will take action.
The biggest lesson I got from you guys is to just take action and build something that actually gives a return on investment. I am an expert in looking for softwares, reading courses, messing around and wasting my time with stuff that wont pay etc but as soon as it comes to writing content, I get tired lol. Well today I restarted writing content and it’s hard, but it’ll get easier.
I used to rank 6-8th for “affiliate marketing” many years ago, but my aggressive link building cost me that site when panda came around. I needed the money from that affiliate site so I could’nt wait for natural rankings without links. Now, I am in a better position and can actually affors to take the slow but steady route. Build the sites, let them rank themselves while I move on to new sites.
I will replicate your methods in my local language market as we have an active amazon here. Some of the long tail keywords you suggest in your videos have less than 10 allintitle results here. Sure the traffic will be tiny, but the keywords are suggested by google so people are actually searching them. All I need to do is write write write.
There you go guys, almost 300 words for ya’ll right here 🙂
When you actually care about something, you just cant stop writing.
Take care and thanks again.
Rob
I want to build a huge following as a comedian and have never figured out how to go about it. The web address above is just my press kit from a gig lead site (I own the domain name). I do have a blog and recently built a podcast in my den, although have yet to begin the podcast. I?m on FB, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
online pet store in this website i am planing to sell fish,dogs,cat and some live legal animals and accessories which licence is required For that its type of online store only so do i need license or not please reply as possible as you can
Very nice blog i like that quick simple and direct to point .
For license requirements you want to check with your legal representation (an attorney). If you cannot afford such, at least ask the bureau in charge of business licenses (the naming changes from state to state.) The bureau won’t give you legal advice and at times will tell you that you have to do something when not required. So get the documentation they offer and read it. You avoid the attorney but instead you spend time on it. Your job, though. Selling live animals is something I wouldn’t touch except maybe in a local brick and mortar store.
Thanks for such a great Ideas.
Great ideas, i want to start an educational website is it a good idea?
It definitely can be. It depends on what the topic is.
Thank you very much. It is a complete article which provides a great mix of affiliate marketing website. This site will help the affiliate marketer a lot to gain knowledge how to move forward with affiliate marketing. Really awesome post.
Great ideas and amazing content here! I am having a hard time getting into a definitive niche myself. I know I want to promote photography ideas…photoshop tutorials, photo editing etc…
just narrowing it down from there is where I?m stuck. It?s so broad! Thank you for the time youve put into this article. I spent all day trying to drive organic traffic to a landing page I created today and now I realize I didn?t quite narrow my jich down enough. I?ll g t there! Thanks again!??
This option is very much, Will need more references to create a niche. And I just found out that there are so many niche sites. But thanks for sharing
So… is it false advertising when you say 50 niche ideas and only list 35? 🙂
Not if we have a visible alert on the page that explains that this list is constantly growing and shrinking as we come up with new ideas and get rid of some of the old ones we don’t like as much anymore.
50 is a fixed number, so if your real number is fluctuating, that’s false advertising.
How in the world do you go from knowing nothing about sound mixing to writing 20 or 30 articles on the subject without plagarizing? Or are we calling it paraphrasing these days?
While you’re at it riddle me this… Youtube promotes copying the embed code to any and all of the videos on their site, for reasons I can only imagine. Does that mean that they promote embedding any of those very useful videos on my website without further ado?
We do research. You can research a topic and learn a ton about it and then go about writing articles. Using references from others isn’t plagiarism. We link to other sites when we use their information but mostly we compile good information from lots of sources to write a more comprehensive and helpful article on any given topic. We never endorse any sort of plagiarism.
You can embed any videos you want on your website. Part of the agreement with YouTube is that when you post content on YouTube it becomes public. So anyone can use that content.
This is truly some awesome information! I really like the ideas for buying either the outfit or home d?cor packages! From what I understand you need to get your blog going and get following before you can start using affiliates and such. Do you find this to be true? What ideas do you have to circumvent this?
That’s generally true but not for Amazon. Amazon will approve you without any traffic history. The best thing you can do is get your site up and going. Use Amazon at first. Then, as you start to get traffic, you’ll get approved for other programs. It takes time to start earning any real money from niche websites, so the best thing you can do is just get started.
Thanks i have found my niche idea from here.
Wow, great list and found this website also from YouTube love your videos… My question is when you mentioned in your video someone using .ca for Canada well I am in the UK and I have 2 psychic niche websites, but one is .site while the other is .info would these benefit in the Google search…
I also, know a lot about these niches and the only thing I struggle with is SEO.
Great ideas! Do you think that a broad gaming authority website would take a long time to build traffic and income? I’ve built this website http://acegamereviews.com/ in the last few days. Would it be better to revert to a more narrow niche within gaming or stick to my guns?
Hi Luka. My issue with gaming review/authority sites is how much turnover there is. The content isn’t evergreen. It takes time for posts to rank, especially when your site is new. So by the time your article ranks for a new game or gaming system, the next game might already be out.
That said, I haven’t worked on a gaming site at all so I can’t say that it won’t work. I think my concern is legitimate but not necessarily accurate. If this is what gets you excited to write, then do it. I don’t think it’ll completely bomb. It will probably start earning some good income. You’ll just have to keep up with games and systems as they come out so the content on your site is always fresh.
If you decided to build another site, I wouldn’t trash this one. I would suggest you build a site on a really evergreen topic, write 30-50 articles, and let it sit. Then come back to this one and let it be your hobby and maybe eventually a full-time job. If your site does well, that may be what it turns into. But the evergreen topic site will be a nice, passive income that you can enjoy without adding new content constantly.
Thanks for Great ideas.
I am starting a blog on survival skills.
Will it work?
That’s actually a good niche to get into if you’re interested in it. Just make really good content and it will be successful.
Great content guys. Just a side note on drop shipping. Alibaba doesn’t do drop shipping. Also, drop shipping products from China (aliexpress.com) will, in general, involve problems in documenting compliance with US or EU product safety regulations. This is the main reason why I’ve put the idea of drop shipping from China “on ice” for now. I don’t want to risk selling products that may end up hurting people, or end up in a lawsuit. I think creating great quality content on a blog, and then link to compliant quality products is a much better idea.
I signed up for your course today, was struggling for ideas, Google’d niche ideas, and found this post so a nice circular movement there! Great post, and some superb ideas which tie in nicely to a few things I could certainly look at. Just completing your questionnaire at the moment so will email that over shortly!
Picked up on the concealed carry niche in this blog post. Bought a domain name yesterday.
good article keep it up
Great article, though I was expecting a few more. Thanks anyways.
Dear Jim, I have an idea about building a niche site on cheap recording equipment. It will be all about finding cheap recording gear available online with reviews and price comparison. I am a recording engineer and have an experience about 9 yrs in recording mixing mastering. Should I go further? Is it will worthy.
I am also running a blog called Toolsphilia. please have a look.
Absolutely. Sounds like a good niche.
Thank you for your response. I have another question for you. Recently I have just go through a website called “geekwrapped”. That is a affiliate site of amazon.com. But the question is that the are dealing with different categories like
Masticating Juicers
Espresso Makers
Latte Machines
Cold Press Juicers
Sushi Knives
Indoor Gardens
Ceramic Cookware
Ceramic Knives
Roomba Vacuums
Air Purifiers
Weight Loss Scales
Smart Thermostats
and so on………………………………….
is the going in right way?
According to you we have to focus on a niche of a niche.
But what the are doing? They didn’t focus on any single niche.
If I am going to build a site around “cheap gadgets”, will it works?
It can work, but we find that we’re more successful if our sites have a focus on one niche. If you want your focus to be cheap gadgets then you can probably make that work as well.
Great Post
Thanks for ur tips it help alot
Paul Scholes: Man United striker needs to emulate Thierry Henry
I would like to start a blog, however, I am stuck on choosing a niche. I am a new mommy and thought about an blog on how to make motherhood easier (meal prep recipes, organization tips, healthy food options, must have products, etc.). I also love baking and cooking (mostly vegan)! I have thought about starting a recipe review blog and focusing on generating people from instagram.
I would love to hear your opinion!
Thank you so much for this post!!
I think that the motherhood blog is a good idea. Recipe blogs are tough because there are so many. If you want to do a blog on food/cooking/baking then I would focus on some aspect of cooking and baking. Maybe you make a site about vegan cooking as a topic giving tips, advice, and answering common questions about how to go vegan.
If this is what gets you excited to write, then do it. I don?t think it?ll completely bomb. It will probably start earning some good income. You?ll just have to keep up with games and systems as they come out so the content on your site is always fresh.
You have certainly given me more than a plateful of ideas to work on. Really great post, and equally great ideas.
Awesome information! Thank you! I just found out that I am pregnant with baby #2 yesterday. I would LOVE to be a stay at home mom after the birth. and think that blogging would be the way to go.
I feel like their are too many Mommy blogs but would like to do one about minimizing my stuff in the house, minimizing cooking stress with freezer meal work books etc. I am going on this journey myself and would like to show that not all moms are perfect. I want to share success and failure with my audience and keep it real. What are your thoughts?
I think that would be a fun site to build. I think if you avoid the mommy blog stuff and focus on minimizing stuff and minimizing stress then you have the makings of a great niche.
Hi guys. What is your idea on the weightlifting niche? I saw in your 2018 Niche Sites Scoring Sheet you gave it a score of 68. But in one video you mentioned that the “health and wellness” niche is too saturated.
The “fitness” niche is quite similar both in terms of topics and competition, with many high authority fitness websites. Did you have some specific narrow weightlifting topic in mind, or general weightlifting advice about training, diet, equipment and everything else involved?
That’s the only niche idea from that list that I’m already interested in writing about, which is why I’ve been asking you this question all over the place. I’ve already started the site, but I’d rather switch to writing about something else if it doesn’t have much chance of gaining revenue. Thanks again for all the content. Very helpful!
Hi Luke. I don’t remember exactly what we had in mind. In general I would say that fitness and weight loss are overdone, but true weightlifting or bodybuilding probably has a bit more space. If it’s what you’re most interested in, I’d say go for it. You can probably find some good topics to write about that aren’t overdone. If you’re not interested in other topics on the scoring sheet, I’d say go with the thing you’re interested in. Otherwise you’ll get burnt out researching and writing about a topic you’re not interested in.
Your niche ideas are awesome. I have found my niche.
Thank you for the ideas! I might consider one of them. Yet, I hope that you can offer me an advice on the following topic.
In brief, I am intending to create a site dealing with controversial religious topics.
Now considering that I have been able to drive a significant amount of traffic to the website, including people who support my view, can the site be monetized? If yes, how? And what is my chances with the Amazon affiliate program? Incidentally, regardless of the site?s topic, I will certainly buy your course!
Thank you and best of luck.
Hi Hayden. You could monetize it with ads or with information products, like an ebook or course. There probably aren’t many products sold on Amazon that you would list on this site, but if there are some then you could monetize it that way too. It’s not the most lucrative topic by any means, but if this site serves the dual purpose of sharing religious information that you believe is important, and earns you some income, then maybe that’s something your okay with.
Hi Dear!
Thanks For Sharing Such an awesome Information. Keep up the Good Work.
Hi guys. I am really new to this blogging thing! I have tried to think about what I generally talk about – problem is, it’s random.. I do however have a good taste for metalcore music, and also good in poetry, story writing and motivational quotes etc.. Now when I think about this, I honestly don’t think either is suitable for amazon unless I link motivational books etc. But how do you incorporate your own stuff in here?
It helps that we’re interested in lots of different things, so coming up with ideas is pretty easy for us. I suggest you pick something you’re interested in, whether you know much or not, and start learning. As you do, write down your learnings. It’ll make for a good site.
Hi Ricky,
Any new niche site ideas?
Hi Ricky,
Terrific blog article.
What do you think about a niche or sub-niche within the skincare industry?
I am uniquely qualified to write about it but want to get your opinion on competition and monetization potential.
Happy New year
I think you can carve out a nice space in skincare.
Hey guys i just discovered your blog site,also your Youtube channel i spent almost 9 hours watching your tutorials
Good info,also thanks for helping us
I did noticed you’re transparent guys because you have the results and the expertise in building niche sites,you’re right guys about all the things in your blog or videos
My biggest problem is i’m not a good writer and English is the third language in our country
This is what stops me to start
Do you have some ideas about finding good Writers for reasonable price per article?
How much will cost me to build a small niche website that has the power to expand to different topics?
Is $300 good for building a small niche monetized with Adsense?
Thank you.
Hi Ismail,
We’ve talked a little on YouTube about how we like to find good writers. Maybe we can put out some more information on that topic. But paying for content can get expensive quickly. A 2,000 word post will cost $40 or so to have written. So $300 doesn’t go very far.
What I would do in your situation is start the site with you doing the writing. Pay for a tool like Grammarly Pro to help you with the grammar. With $300 you’ll have more than enough to get a site started. And in 6 months you’ll be earning enough to start paying writers to do the writing for you.
I think, after reading this whole useful niches and sub-niches …
no one is going to look another article about niche site idea …
I found all the list of niche site ideas…
Thanks for sharing valuable information
Thank you so much for this really wonderful article!
Hi Rick,
Great list of niche ideas.but my niche idea is bit different and i don’t know it will work or not.I am new to this stuff and know very little about it,So my niche idea is about “Gaming” It the only thing I am good at and it kinda hobby to me,so Rick can you help me with it Please…Should I go for it or find anything else.
It is not a niche, gaming is huge. Try to focus a specific genre or type of gaming which is not served well.
Thanks for this great article and for sharing valuable info with us!
Wanted to ask you if you think that a site dedicated to how to live a positive life with mental illness, can work?
Thanks
It definitely can. You’ll just want to assess the competition for specific topics you want to write about. Our sites do best if we can find at least some really low competition topics to write about, even if it means those topics have to be really specific. You’ll also want to think about how you might monetize that kind of site. There probably aren’t a ton of Amazon products out there for this, so think about what you can do to earn an income from it.
Dear all
thank you for your good ideas, am thinking to make a website about (how to use or do) so i will have multiple topics to explain how to use a machine or how to study about something, how volunteer etc. do you think its a good idea?
Amazing Article…..You have given me tons of great Idea’s. This is the first time I visited your site and I was amazed reading awesome content.
Thanks for sharing
Hey Jim,
Thanks for sharing this great list. I along with my two sons are working on niche sites. Your videos and guidance is very helpful.
As much as I don’t want to admit it, I started a photography site a long time ago with little to no knowledge. Your Improve Photography site is great and kicking! I do have a few well designed eBook products that sell but don’t get enough traffic. Please email me if you’d be interested in adding them to your offers in one way or another.
Thanks and keep up the great content,
Kent
GREAT article! I was wondering your thoughts on a martial arts site, specifically the art of Tang Soo Do, because I think martial arts is too broad. I was thinking along the lines of uniforms, equipment, books and instructional information. I’ve been a student/ teacher for 32 years.
I like it! I think martial arts is a great topic. I do think martial arts specifically is too general, like you said. But niching down to Tang Soo Do will probably be sufficient to be able to build a site with limited competition.
Love your ideas in this article! I was on the Project 24 webinar recently, and am thinking of joining the program. I have two ideas in mind but am not sure which one to choose: a site on rebounding (more niche), or working out at home (more broad but more variety of products I could promote).
You can make both topics work. Working out at home falls in fitness which is really competitive. So you’ll want to carve out a space in that niche and find some non-competitive keywords. We’ll show you how to do that in Project 24 when you are ready to get started!
Hi Jim and Ricky,
Listening both if you from a year ago, never go before spend less than an hour by watching you guys on youtube 😀
By the way, I am going after “SoundProof” Niche? what do you think guys is it a goto way especially as an Amazon affiliate?
Haseeb, I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying our content. Sound Proof is a good niche. We even started a site in that niche a while ago and after about 10 posts we stopped because it wasn’t an interesting topic to us. But even with only 10 posts it earned $400 per month when we gave it away in a contest on our YouTube channel.
Hey I wanna get into the health and wellness niche specifically healthy recipes and diet but I find that the market is still too competetive. How could I monetize and build site like this?
You can, but you need to find a really specific niche within that space to start. It’s extremely competitive so it will be a long time before you get substantial traffic.
Hi,
Great article, learning a lot from you guys. Just one thing, the title says “50 Niche Site Ideas” and you only provided 37, so….
Also, is getting a 2 cent return per monthly viewer realistic, and will that vary from niche to niche? Would that be revenue or profit per monthly viewer?
It’s a list that grows and shrinks. When we decide we don’t like an idea anymore, we remove it. Hence the disclaimer at the top.
We actually get a lot more than 2 cents per viewer per month. It varies a ton by niche and also by how you monetize your site. That number was probably revenue, but the cost of these sites is puny so almost all of revenue goes straight to profit.
I didn’t found my type of niche site here. But thanks so much to open up my minds for new ideas to make a niche site I love.
Hi Ricky,
Would you say someone could earn a good income from Amazon affiliates by just using your free info on this site and your Youtube channel?
Funds are a little tight for the course and the required starting costs at the moment.
Thanks
Nate
You definitely can. Use the tutorial at stage-income.stagenot.live/new to get your site set up and use the information in our webinar and other YouTube videos to create good content. The Project 24 program is really helpful for giving you the step by step plan as well as support from other users. But you can definitely do it on your own. It will probably just take a bit longer and you’ll need to keep yourself motivated.
Good luck Nate! We’ll keep putting out helpful guidance to help you get there.
You guys have got my attention, Jim, and Ricky. I’m very attracted to your “outside-of-the-box” approach to many aspects of this business. I’ve been catching up on your youtube channel and you guys really lay it out like it is. I’d have to admit I’ve never really given it my all yet but still can’t let go of the dream. I’ve gotten through hosting and WP set up before but usually get hung up when it comes to keywords and content, losing focus before I ever get to pages and posts, or menus and categories. I’m sure giving your new project 24 some serious consideration. Thanks very much and keep up the great work guys.
Hi Guys!
I started watching your YouTube channel a week ago and I have gotten more info from you than all the other resources I’ve looked at combined!
What do you think about these 2?
1. Iguana habitats. I have had several so I have a lot of knowledge, resources, and experience.
2. Something pinball related. That’s my boyfriends hobby. He buys and sells them, collects them, and plays them. Along with other old school arcade style games and vintage video games.
Do these seem doable? I think there’s potential for a lot of articles and several ways to monetize. Are they too broad? Thanks for your help!
Dreama
Hi Dreama,
I like them both! For the arcade one, maybe it’s about collecting them (where to find them, how to clean them up, how to get a good deal). You could also talk about appraising and selling them, etc. Lots of directions you could go with that. I think iguana habitats is a cool option as well. There’s plenty to write about and lots of products to recommend.
Your websites always look so good! I?m really stoked for project 24, going to clear out some ?junk? to afford it,? it may take some time.
Already have a couple of sites that don?t do particularly well…they?re godawful tbh, and the url probably isn?t great….
BUT I have been trying to create more content like you suggest, and will need to tidy them up, dying to start a new website but think I?ll stick it out with what I have for the time being, Maybe make a few more mistakes and learn from them.
Love the videos, and you guys seem really honest and just nice blokes!
We certainly can?t promise that your idea will succeed. Your success will depend on your effort and skill. But having built MANY successful niche sites, and earning a full time income online for the last 5 years, I have enough experience to tell you things at the start of your journey that can save you thousands of hours and missed opportunities later on,Nice information.
Great ideas on niches, very informative!
Inspired by you, I have launched my own marketing blog.. http://converzon.com
I will try and take one of these ideas to create another blog
Many thanks for sharing these tips.
Great ideas. I have a niche site on Smart Watches and it has become really difficult to rank sites based on a very narrow niche. Authority sites like Amazon always outrank smaller sites.
Hi, just watched some of your videos a few days ago, very interesting and informative, thank you. I would like to create a niche site that helps protect women in relationships, I have self published a guide that helps women identify emotional abuse and thought that I could incorporate that guide into this niche site but am not sure whether this would be a profitable niche to enter. Do you think that a niche of this type has any potential?
It definitely has potential. You may not have a lot of affiliate product to sell from Amazon, but there are many ways to monetize a site. If this is your passion and you have some content already, then go for it.
I guess the real question is, what are your financial goals with this site. If you’re looking to generate a six-figure income from this site, then you’ll want to figure out how you could do that. But if you just want it to be worth the time you put in up front, then I say there’s no question. Go for it.
Thanks for your input. How would I monetize this type of niche? I could use Google adsense, are there any other ways that I could monetize this niche site?
Ads will be the primary monetization at first, since I don’t think there are many physical products to recommend. You might go look for courses or services for women that are really helpful and that might have affiliate programs. That’s another great passive income source. Then, once you have some following or community, you can start to create your own information products, courses, services, etc. The sky is the limit at that point. In the short term, though, ads and affiliate products are going to be the easiest way.
As mentioned you have self-published a guide, you could create your own product like an ebook or a video course. And sell on your niche website. Having own product is the best way of monetizing as the profits are 100%.
Other ways could be to put affiliate offers for meditation course, travel offers, anything which changes the life in a positive way.
You can google for affiliate offers or check offervault .com and clickbank .com for offers. These sites pay commission on each sale.
Best of luck
Do you no longer “review” niche ideas? The link in the article goes to the Project 24 site to sign up, but I’m not quite ready yet.
My idea is along the lines of swimming, paddle-boarding, or kayaking. Do these seem too broad or saturated?
We do private coaching, but it’s pretty expensive. We found that if we do a good job of teaching how to pick a good niche then the review is no longer necessary. So in Project 24, we actually have an hour-long course about picking niches and domains.
I think any of these topics has a lot of potential. I would probably pick some aspect of each. If it’s swimming is it competitive swimming? Maybe long-distance swimming? Also, in each case you’ll put your own flavor on it. So for paddle boarding or kayaking, you may not have to niche down much, because you’ll just focus on the aspect of the activity that you know. So I think they’re all good. It’s more about picking the right topics and keywords for your content. That’s where we really beat the competition.

Jim and Ricky,
You guys seriously rock. I love your down to earth Youtube videos and the awesome content you provide. I have been watching and listening to other gurus in the make money online marketing space, but I really enjoy the dynamics you have together. I have sunk some money into PPC that goes to landing pages with minimal results. I am going to bite the bullet and actually create high value content for my audience. When I get some extra money to invest, I will be signing up for your Project 24. I just wanted to say thanks a lot guys, and I wish you some big success!
Thanks Rey. I’m really glad we’re able to help!
Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers?
I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any suggestions?
Wordfence is one that I’m aware of that seems to do a good job.
