I will be discussing the 10+ lucrative blog niches that you can start and be sure to make enough money every month if you are consistent.
These Niches can stand the test of time ie, they are evergreen blog niches. I have Blogs around many of them, some are more profitable than others, it’s ultimately what you can fit in and what your resources can handle.
What is a Blog Niche?
A Niche is a streamlined category that anyone can blog about, e.g Sports Betting Tips, Sports is under the Entertainment category, but because you can’t cover everything in the whole entertainment sector, you Niche Down to what you can cover, so when users land on your website they know instantly what you offer.
Niche blogs have a high returning user base because users find it easy to get exactly what they want and can be sure irrelevant things won’t disturb their surfing your website.
The Niches I will be talking about in this article are evergreen niches.
What this means is that the posts on the blog will remain relevant for life. Example: A Sports betting tips blog post will die off after the games are played. If you want sustainability, and ease, you want to focus on evergreen niches, so even if you stop posting, traffic will keep coming and coming for ages, the more the content the more the traffic (if you happen to rank on SERP- Search engine result pages).
Below is the list of the top 10 Most Profitable Blog Niches
