Need help finding a niche to blog about that has money-making potential? Check out this HUGE LIST of Niches and Microniches.
Whether you are just starting your blog or you just haven’t yet hit your money-making stride, you’ve probably heard that NICHE-ing down is the key.
And although a super focused Niche is NOT required to make money online, it definitely does make things easier. But finding and choosing a profitable niche can be a huge hurdle for new bloggers.
The key to making money with your blog is finding a topic that people are willing to spend money on. That’s why hobby bloggers do so well. People LOVE to spend money on hobbies.
(As a side note: it’s important for you to understand that there is more than one strategy for making money blogging, and niche-ing down to a money-making topic is just one of them.)
WHY SO MANY BLOGGERS BLOG ABOUT THE SAME OLD STUFF
After you get acquainted with the “blogosphere” you’ll start realizing that there are thousands of websites that basically reiterate the same old content with a different twist.
And to be completely honest, there isn’t anything wrong with that. Sometimes, I intentionally read 5 articles on the same topic simply because I want multiple viewpoints.
But then other times, I’ll google up a question and I can only find one or two articles that relate.
This is likely because most of the blogging gurus out there encourage people (for good reason) to find their competitors and basically copy their strategy.
Before you pick a niche, you SHOULD make sure that there is a demand for the content.
For example, if you are really really good at cooking insects, you could probably write a lot of content about it and fill up an entire blog with insect recipes
But if there are only 20 people each month looking up recipes with insects in them then you’ve wasted your time.
Fortunately for you, humans are very diverse and there are thousands of topics that you could write about to gain a large enough audience to make a fantastic income.
Below, I’ve created a GIANT LIST OF NICHES AND MICRONICHES that have actual money-making potential! There are so many options here that you should surely be able to find SOMETHING that will strike your fancy.
All you have to do is find one that you can stand to write about until you have an exhaustive library of content that covers every angle and aspect or your niche.
Your goal here is to go really deep in one subject. But make sure you have a plan for bringing in income.

Keep in mind that this list is NOT exhaustive. Not only are the very likely topics that aren’t even mentioned here, but you could also combine aspects of two niches listed to create a whole new topic.
For Example: You could combine DIY Remodeling with RVing and create an entire blog about remodeling/restoring RV’s.
It would be nearly impossible to make a “complete” list of niches because the possibilities are infinite. But before picking a niche, you should know that different niches will require different strategies in order to be successful!
