93 Profitable Blog Niches That Make Money (+ Content Ideas)

So you are considering blogging as a side hustle? Or maybe even as a full time career? First things first, you’ll have to think hard about what topic(s) you want to cover. Or in blogging terms – what is your niche going to be?

Some blog niches are more profitable than others, but I think every niche can make decent money if you put enough time and effort into it.

Choosing a blog niche is never easy. It requires a lot of brainstorming and online research. If you think you’ve found the perfect niche, you should ask yourself a few questions before definitely settling for it:

• Do I enjoy writing about this topic?
• Is this topic versatile and can I write lots of different articles on it?
• Do people search for questions regarding this topic in Google?
• How many existing blogs cover this topic and do they perform well?
• Are bloggers in this niche on social media and do they have a good following?

I’ve (unconsciously) listed these questions in order of importance. It is extremely important that YOU enjoy your niche, as you will be spending LOTS of time writing and researching. On top of that, you will be positioning yourself as an expert in the field. Better choose a field you really like, right? You have that privilege as a blogger – USE IT!

Then again it’s also good to know that your topic is often searched for in Google. That’ll help you tremendously in your keyword research and your discoverability.

And never forget to have a gander at your potential competition. Are the bloggers in this niche making a full-time income? Do they offer resources? What is their following like?

If you can’t find existing blogs in your niche, that could be a good thing! It means you don’t have to compete with other bloggers to rank for important keywords. But do ask yourself the questions “why aren’t there any blogs in this niche?“. Maybe no one searches for it so it isn’t as profitable. But then again YOU could be the person who spreads the word and MAKES people search for your niche. Fun challenge!

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO BLOG ABOUT ONE TOPIC?

Why is a niche so important for a blog? Why not cover multiple topics or niches and reach people with all kinds of interests?

Those are good questions. And they come with good answers. Having a lifestyle blog that covers multiple topics might work if you have already established an audience that actively follows you in whatever you do. An influencer or a celebrity, for example.

However, for someone who is just getting started and who is a – you know.. regular person, people won’t actively go looking for you and your content. So you need to reach people in another way.

This is where SEO (search engine optimization) comes in. You want to optimize your blog for Google, so people can easily find you in a relevant Google search. If your blog focuses on one niche, Google will understand what your blog is about and rank you higher easily.

So in other words – by having a niche you will be more easily discoverable by new readers by having a niche. The more specific your niche, the better!

Why is a very specific niche – or micro niche – better? I explain that in my related article: How To Find A Blog Niche?
