What about if you want to build a personal brand business? Would YouTube be better than blogging, or vice versa?

While each platform has its pros and cons (which I cover extensively in this article), it’s important to know that some niches are better suited for YouTube, while others will likely gain more traction via blogging.

That being said, blogging and YouTube are two of the most effective mediums you can use today to build a business. Both can be highly lucrative.

The conundrum between a blog vs YouTube is, if you start both at the same time then it’ll be twice as hard to get traction and as a result, neither may come off the ground. So, you really should choose one first to start with.

So, which one should you start first?

In this article I’m going to use my 10+ years of experience online, and personal experiences building both a blog and a YouTube channel to help you decide.

Blog vs YouTube: Which Should You Start? (Our Fast Answer)

Choosing whether to start a blog or a YouTube channel hinges on several things. But first and foremost, you should think about which method of content creation you would enjoy the most.

If you like being on camera and it doesn’t fase you to have your face on YouTube, then YouTube will probably be the best bet for you, in most cases.

With YouTube you can gain traction much more quickly than with a blog. You can also build the “know, like, and trust” factor much faster with your audience.

This is a huge advantage for YouTubers.

Once you’ve started to gather an audience and build a connection with them, you’re already more than half way to being able to successfully monetize your business.

On the flip side, however, YouTube requires learning a few more skills than a blogger would need. You’ll need to learn some basic camera and audio skills, as well as how to present yourself and your topics on camera. You’ll also need some basic skills of editing videos unless you have a budget to afford a video editor.

As a YouTuber, while you can get going quickly using just the camera in your iPhone, you’ll likely want to invest a little money into buying a decent camera and microphone too.

Blogs, on the other hand, are ideal if you’re camera-shy, or if you’re just more inclined towards writing.

As a blogger, you’ll need to develop a strong ability for writing. That being said, this is now far easier than ever with writing tools like ChatGPT and Frase.io.

Now, while content creation will be a lot quicker and easier for bloggers thanks to AI, blogging will take you a lot longer to gain traction and build an audience.

With blogging you’ll also need to learn a lot more technicalities when it comes to SEO (search engine optimization). So, if you like getting down with the techy stuff, then you will likely enjoy blogging. If not, then I’d recommend YouTube.

Both blogging and YouTube also offer a variety of effective monetization strategies, which I cover in more detail in this article. However, from personal experience, when it comes to selling products, I find that YouTube converts better than a blog.

But that’s just my experience. This might not be the case for other bloggers and YouTubers.

Now, let’s get into the nitty gritty of what you need to know when choosing to start a blog or a YouTube channel.

What Are The Main Differences Between a Blog and a YouTube Channel?

A blog and a YouTube channel both serve as platforms for content creation, but they differ in the medium and style of content they deliver. Because of this, you need to consider your audience first.

Does your audience mostly hang out on YouTube, or are they generally more inclined towards reading when it comes to consuming content online?

Blogs revolve around written content and are often accompanied by images or infographics. So, as a blogger, you’ll be mostly focusing on creating written content as well as images for your blog.

Since you can self-host your own blog, you own your website entirely. This gives you more scope when it comes to monetization.

So, you’ll be able to run Google AdSense which allows you to monetize through display ads, as well as monetizing through affiliate marketing, and sponsored content.

YouTube channels, on the other hand, are video-centric, so you’ll need good sound and video quality to capture and retain the interest of your audience.

Contrary to popular belief, it’s actually more important to have good quality audio rather than video on a platform like YouTube. This little gold nugget of information will help you decide whether to invest in your audio equipment before improving video quality.

When it comes to monetizing your YouTube channel, the YouTube Partner Program provides a way for creators to earn ad revenue. However, there are multiple ways for you to monetize on this platform, and you can earn money much more quickly on YouTube via affiliate marketing.

Blogs are ideal for in-depth written pieces, like how-to guides and guest posts, whereas YouTube is preferable for vlogging, tutorials, and face-to-face interaction.

Comparing Blogging and YouTube Channels

Now, with that said, let’s look at all the things you should consider for a blog and a YouTube channel, side by side. This will help you to see clearly the benefits and drawbacks of each of these content mediums.

You’ll want to consider each of the following areas before making your final decision.

Audience Engagement and Reach

Engagement on blogs often comes through comments and sharing of posts. However, from personal experience I can tell you that nowadays people don’t leave blog comments anywhere near as much as they did 5 years ago.

So, in my opinion, the engagement rate through blogging has declined considerably.

In order to build relationships with your audience through your blog content you’ll also need to build an email list (this is always recommended regardless of which platform you choose for your business) and also leverage a platform like Twitter where you can share your posts and interact with people.

On the flip side, YouTube, thrives on a different engagement model.

The platform’s built-in like, comment, and subscription features encourage immediate interaction. Again, from personal experience, I can tell you that people are much more engaged and ready to interact with you on YouTube via the YouTube comments section.

Reach on YouTube can be enhanced by leveraging video descriptions, tags, and a strategic approach to content that aligns with what’s trending.

YouTube’s algorithm also suggests videos to users based on their viewing habits. This helps to increase your reach potential on the platform.

Monetization Strategies

Monetizing a blog is all about attracting readers and keeping them hooked. This is not as easy as it sounds, and you’ll need to invest some time into learning this skill.

That being said, with a blog you can earn decent money through ads, affiliate marketing, selling products or services, and sponsored posts.

The key is to produce high-quality content that solves your readers’ problems or answers their pressing or tough questions.

This strategy (when done right) can build trust and a loyal audience who are more likely to engage your chosen monetization methods.

Ways To Monetize a Blog:

• Display advertising (e.g., Google AdSense)
• Affiliate marketing
• Sponsored posts and content
• Selling digital products (e.g., eBooks, courses)
• Offering consulting or coaching services
• Membership sites or exclusive content for subscribers
• Selling physical products or merchandise
• Hosting paid webinars or workshops

Monetizing a YouTube channel, on the other hand involves creating engaging videos that encourage viewers to subscribe and keep watching.

You can then monetize your YouTube channel through affiliate marketing by placing affiliate links in the description area of your video and encourage your viewers to click your links.

As your channel grows you can also join the YouTube Partner Program to earn ad revenue, and even attract sponsorship deals with companies in your niche.

Here is a money calculator to see how much your YouTube channel could potentially make when monetized via YouTube ads.

Ways To Monetize a YouTube Channel:

• Ad revenue through the YouTube Partner Program
• Channel memberships
• Super chats and super stickers in live chats
• Affiliate marketing in video descriptions
• Selling merchandise through YouTube’s merch shelf
• Sponsored videos and brand partnerships
• Crowdfunding through profitable platforms like Patreon
• Licensing your content to media outlets

SEO and Visibility

As a blogger, you’ll have to rely immensely on SEO. In fact, you’ll need to make it a central part of your online business strategy to master SEO and keep up with the frequently changing landscape of how websites rank in search engines like Google.

it is now practically impossible for someone to figure out SEO without a lot of experience and a wealth of data to analyze. That’s why, as a full-time blogger, it’s necessary to be part of an SEO community of experts who constantly test the latest SEO techniques and then feed back the information to you.

This way, you can easily stay on top of SEO and keep your website healthy and ranking at the top of the search results.

One such community I am a member of (and highly recommend) is called The Affiliate Lab. It’s run by one of the world’s leading SEO specialists, Matt Diggity.

With an engineering background, Matt and his team are constantly testing the each time Google makes changes to their algorithm. Once they figure out the changes they share the latest strategies with the Affiliate Lab community.

Joining the Affiliate Lab is a one-time investment. You get all updates to the course, training, as well as access to their findings on Google’s algorithm changes. If you want to join the Affiliate Lab, then you can get $200 off here.

Now, when it comes to SEO for YouTube, it’s a much easier process. SEO on YouTube is important but no way near as much as it is for bloggers.

Basically, YouTube SEO includes optimizing video titles, using accurate tags, and writing keyword-rich descriptions. You have to echo what your video is about in your metadata to be discovered by viewers searching for that type of content.

While good SEO can help, YouTube’s algorithm also prioritizes watch time and viewer engagement for visibility. These are much more important metrics for YouTubers.

Ownership and Control

When you run a self-hosted blog, you have complete control over the content and layout.

This ownership allows you to personalize your site without restrictions and back up your content, meaning your work remains safe from third-party decisions.

On YouTube, creators must adhere to the platform’s guidelines and policies which can change over time. The risk of demonetization or channel closure hangs on compliance with these rules.

Although content ownership technically remains with the creator, the platform has final say over its distribution.

That being said, with a blog, you own your website and you can even sell it if you want to. However, with a YouTube channel, you don’t technically own it. YouTube remains the owner of your channel, so it’s very important to adhere to their guidelines.

Market Saturation and Competition

The blogosphere is crowded, with countless blogs spanning every imaginable niche.

The competition to stand out is fierce, but specializing in a unique niche can still gain traction and establish a loyal audience.

The trick is to provide high-quality content that readers can’t easily find elsewhere combined with cutting edge SEO strategies and techniques.

YouTube’s market is similarly saturated. New channels pop up daily, and the fight for viewers’ attention is challenging.

That being said, it’s considerably easier to gain traction on YouTube and stand out than it is with a blog.

Creating a unique brand on YouTube, coupled with consistent, engaging content is key to breaking through the noise. Some niches might have less competition, offering opportunities for new entrants.

YMYL Niches and Difficult Niches

If you choose blogging as your content medium, then you’ll need to know what a YMYL niche is.

YMYL stands for, ‘You Money, Your Life’. It refers to any niche that can affect a person’s wallet or their health.

Blogs that fall into this category would include health blogs, blogs offering medical advice and information, personal finance blogs, investing blogs, etc.

These niches are extremely difficult to gain traction in unless you have a ton of credibility and experience in the space. Even then, you will also likely need quite a hefty budget to invest into your content creation and link building in order to gain traction.

The reason for this is because Google are particularly choosey when it comes to deciding which websites they will show at the top of the search results for these kinds of topics. They want to make sure that only highly credible people show up for this kind of content.

My advice for 95% of people is to avoid YMYL niches completely if you want to start a blog.

That being said, it can often be possible for hobbyists to build a successful YouTube channel around one of these topics.

Longevity and Content Shelf Life

Blog content often enjoys a long shelf life, particularly with evergreen topics that remain relevant over time. Older posts can continue to attract readers for years, especially if they are updated to remain accurate and comprehensive.

YouTube videos may have a slightly shorter peak visibility period but can also retain value over time since YouTube is also a search engine. Viewers often frequently discover and watch older content on YouTube, so your piece of content should also continue to gain visibility for years.

How-to videos, tutorials, and vlogs on perennial topics tend to accumulate views steadily, enhancing their shelf life on the platform.

Integration and Synergy

Blogs can work in tandem with other types of content creation platforms. For instance, you might promote blog posts on social media or incorporate an affiliate link within a blog to a product review on a YouTube channel. Integration broadens reach and creates diverse traffic sources.

Synergy between YouTube and other tools can drive growth too. For example, video content might be supplemented with a blog for detailed insights, enhancing the authority and brand presence across mediums.

Combining resources creates a more cohesive and compelling online presence. That’s why overall, we recommend (in time) to build both a blog and a YouTube channel.

However, it is super-important to start with just one first, gain traction, and then begin building your second content medium once your first method it working for you.

Building a Personal Brand

Blogging is a platform that typically emphasizes written content over personality, although personal brand bloggers do exist.

This difference makes blogs particularly good for businesses or individuals who focus on written content to establish expertise or thought leadership in their niche.

YouTubers often build their brand around their personality and on-camera presence.

Successful YouTubers usually have a strong personal brand that their audience connects with, which can lead to more loyalty and higher engagement. This connection can be a powerful asset in influencing and community building.

In my personal opinion, a YouTube channel is a much better platform for building a personal brand and fostering a relationship with your audience.

Engaging With Your Community

Back in the day, blog commenting was very common. People would often comment on blog posts to interact with the author of the blog, ask questions and give feedback. However, this practice has been sharply declining over recent years.

Because of this, I no longer think blogging is a good way to interact with your audience. As a blogger you’ll also want to build an email list and leverage social media to interact with your audience.

YouTube, on the other hand, is a different story.

People often comment on YouTube videos to ask questions and interact with the YouTuber. Not only does this make it more fun for you as the YouTube channel owner, but it also helps you to build a loyal following of people who look forward to watching your content and engaging with you.

Blogging vs YouTube: Final Thoughts

Wrapping up our dive into the blog vs YouTube debate, it’s clear there’s no one-size-fits-all answer for content creators. It really boils down to where your strengths lie and how you prefer to connect with your larger audience.

If you’ve got a way with words, blogging could be your sweet spot. More into visuals and dynamic presentations? YouTube might just be your stage.

However, if your focus is to gain traction as quickly as possible, then from personal experience I recommend starting your YouTube channel first, then building your blog once you’re getting good traction on YouTube.

In the end, the choice between blog vs YouTube isn’t about picking a winner. It’s about finding the right platform that aligns with your style and where you can best share your stories and insights.

So, take a moment to consider your skills and passions. Then, choose your platform and start creating. The digital world is waiting to hear what you have to say.

You’ve landed in the right spot!

Starting an affiliate marketing blog isn’t just about slapping together a few posts and waiting for the cash to roll in.

Nope, it’s an art and a science.

In this affiliate blogging guide, we’re diving deep into the nitty-gritty of setting up a blog that not only looks great but also turns visitors into commission-earning clicks.

Whether you’re a total beginner in affiliate marketing or a seasoned pro looking for fresh tips, buckle up!

We’re about to embark on a journey to build your affiliate marketing empire, one post at a time.

Understanding Affiliate Marketing for Blogging and SEO

Let’s dive a little deeper into how affiliate marketing works, especially if you’re into blogging and SEO.

Promoting affiliate links on your blog can be highly lucrative if you’re in the right affiliate niche and you know how to rank on page one for lucrative keywords.

When someone buys through your blog post links, you earn a commission. It’s a win-win: the product seller gets more sales, and you make some money as the affiliate marketer.

As an aspiring affiliate marketer, it’s important to understand that affiliate marketing isn’t just about slapping links everywhere or overloading content with affiliate links.

It’s about really knowing your audience. You’ve got to show them products they’ll love and need. That’s where your skill in presenting these products in an interesting way comes into play.

Now, let’s talk about SEO, or how you make your content more visible on search engines.

This is super important in affiliate marketing. Why? Because affiliate marketers use SEO to find and target those keywords that people use when they’re just about ready to buy something.

This approach is often called ‘Affiliate SEO.’ The trick is to write valuable posts that pop up high in search results. That way, more potential buyers find your content.

Quick terms to bear in mind:

• Affiliate Link: This is your special URL. When someone buys through this link, you get paid.
• SEO: These are the tactics you use to make your content stand out in search results.
• High-Intent Keywords: These are the search terms people use when they’re pretty much ready to open their wallets.

Getting Started with Affiliate Marketing as a Blogger

So, your first move is doing some research into a profitable niche that you also stand a chance of ranking well in.

Then, choosing some highly lucrative affiliate products comes next. Of course, you want to make sure the affiliate products you choose to promote are of high quality and solve a problem or pain point for your audience.

Setting up your blog’s basics comes next. That means picking the right tools and systems.

Start by choosing a content management system (CMS). Think of it as the backbone of your blog where you’ll create and manage your content.

Next up, find a hosting service that’s reliable. You don’t want your blog crashing when people are trying to read your posts!

Then, grab a domain name that sticks in people’s minds. It’s your blog’s address on the internet, so make it catchy.

Your blog’s look matters too, so pick a theme that’s not just pretty but also easy to navigate.

Last but not least, plan out how your site’s content is organized. This is your site’s information architecture, and it helps visitors find what they need easily.

Now, let’s get into more detail on each of those steps so you know what you’re doing.

Choosing a Niche for Your Affiliate Blog

Ready to find the perfect niche for your affiliate blog? It’s all about zooming in on that special market or topic you’ll be talking about.

Picking the right affiliate marketing niche is a super important part of your overall strategy. It’s got to be something you’re passionate about and know a lot about. Plus, it needs to pull in the right crowd – your future readers.

Here’s how to nail down your niche:

1. Jot down what gets you excited: List out topics you love and know inside out.
2. Check if people are interested: Do some homework to see if there’s a good number of folks who are into these topics.
3. Eye the competition: Take a look at what others are doing in the same area. You want to be sure you can bring something fresh to the table.

For a more detailed guide on choosing your niche, see our in-depth article on how to choose a niche for affiliate marketing here.

Researching Affiliate Products and Programs

Now that you’ve got your niche down, it’s time to find affiliate products and affiliate programs that fit like a glove with what you’re talking about.

You want to pick products that you genuinely believe in and can recommend honestly.

Check out popular networks like Amazon Associates, ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, and ClickBank to find some great options.

When you’re choosing products, keep these things in mind:

• Relevance: Make sure the products or affiliate offers are a perfect match for your niche and what your audience is into.
• Credibility: Go for products from brands that people trust. This helps keep your followers’ trust in you too.
• Commission: Look for affiliate marketing programs that offer a good cut. After all, you want your efforts to pay off, right?

By focusing on these points, you’ll be able to pick products that not only fit your blog like a glove but also bring in some good earnings.

It’s all about making smart choices that benefit you and your readers. So, don’t just promote any old crap. Make sure you’re only endorsing good products that people will actually get value from.

Choosing a Blogging Platform and Domain Name

Choosing the right blogging platform is your next big move. WordPress is a favorite for many because it’s user-friendly, packed with features just for bloggers, and has various theme options and plugins to jazz up your blog.

Now, let’s talk about your domain name. This is how people will find you online, so pick something snappy and relevant to your niche.

Plus, it should be easy to remember – you want folks to come back, right?

The best place to get a domain name (in my opinion) is Namecheap. Namecheap is one of the biggest domain registrars out there, but they also have some of the lowest prices in the industry and they don’t sting you with hidden charges or increased charges year after year (unlike some other well known domain registrars in the industry).

You can get the best deals available on Namecheap domains here.

Once you’re on the Namecheap website, select, ‘domains’, then select, ‘domain name search’, then enter various names for your website you like the sound of. Namecheap will then do a search to see if it’s available.

Here’s a screenshot to show you what I mean:

If the domain name you searched for is available, then Namecheap will show it to you like this:

As a general rule, I recommend choosing a domain with the .com extension. Second best options would be .net or .org. Domains with these extensions are generally more trusted in the eyes of search engines like Google.

Avoid .info and .xyz as they’re generally seen as spammy.

Next up, hosting.

Web Hosting

For hosting your blog, go for a service that’s reliable and known for being up and running smoothly.

Great customer support is a must. If you’re leaning towards WordPress, look for hosting providers that specialize in it. This can make your blogging experience even smoother.

If you’ve got some budget to play with, then I recommend using WPX Hosting. This is the company I use to host my Entrepreneur Nut blog.

WPX’s service is excellent, websites load quickly with WPX, and they have outstanding customer service.

Sure, they’re not the cheapest option out there, but then, you definitely don’t want to go as cheap as chips when it comes to website hosting.

If you choose a cheap, substandard option, then it can severely damage your business. Not only will your pages load slower than an asthmatic ant with heavy shopping, you might also find that your website crashes every few minutes.

If WPX Hosting is a bit out of your price range, then a great low-cost alternative I recommend (and also use myself for a few other websites) is called SiteGround.

SiteGround also has a very decent service, fast servers, and excellent support, so you’ll also be in good hands with this company too.

Setting Up Your Affiliate Blog with WordPress

Now, let’s get to the actual set up process of getting your shiny new WordPress website online:

1. Install WordPress: Many web hosts (including WPX and SiteGround) offer a one-click installation, or you can use WordPress’s own quick guide.
2. Pick a Theme: Dive into the world of free WordPress themes. Choose one that’s responsive and fits your niche like a glove. I recommend Generate Press because it’s easy to use and loads faster than greese lightning.
3. Customize Your Blog: Tweak it with widgets, menus, and settings to make it truly yours. Think about your brand and content plan here.
4. Plan Your Site Structure: Create a layout that’s easy for your readers to navigate. This is super important for search engine optimization (SEO) and making sure people enjoy visiting your blog.
5. Add Essential Plugins: Boost your blog with affiliate marketing plugins for SEO, speeding things up, keeping things secure, and managing those affiliate links.
6. Produce Great Content: Regularly write content that draws in your audience and weave in your affiliate links naturally.

Creating Valuable Content for Affiliate Marketing

In the world of affiliate marketing, creating top-notch content on your blog is key.

Why?

Because great content pulls in readers and keeps them engaged.

This boosts the chances of them clicking on your affiliate links and earning you some commissions.

Now, if your articles are not just informative but also honest and packed with your personal experiences, your readers are more likely to trust you.

Imagine writing a detailed honest review based on your own use of a product or thorough research – that’s the kind of stuff that really resonates with people.

Long-form content, like deep-dive tutorials or guides, is perfect for naturally including affiliate products.

This kind of content does two things at once: it answers your readers’ questions with rich, helpful information and nudges them towards a product that could solve their problems or make their lives better.

Plus, these detailed guides are great for long-term success. They have a good shot at ranking in search engine results, which means steady organic traffic to your affiliate site and ongoing affiliate income.

For dedicated affiliate marketers looking to step up their game, AI content generation tools like Content at Scale can be a game-changer.

They help whip up SEO-friendly, human-like content that’s totally original – say goodbye to plagiarism worries!

This kind of high-quality content can really boost your blog’s rankings, making it more credible and easier for people to find.

For this, I recommend using Frase.io.

Frase is an awesome tool that not only has the ability to write all your content for you, but it can also optimise it like a ninja so it ranks at the top of the search results for lots of jucey, lucrative keywords.

Including Affiliate Links In Your Blog Posts

When you’re weaving affiliate links into your blog posts, you need a smart plan.

Write amazing content that really speaks to your readers. Your posts should tackle their problems and offer solutions, and while you’re at it, you can introduce and suggest products in a smooth, natural way.

Make sure your content answers your readers’ questions and offers them real value. This could be through sharing your own experiences, giving tips, or offering advice they can actually use.

The way you write also reflects on the products you’re promoting.

If your posts are trustworthy and well-researched, your readers are more likely to believe in what you recommend.

Building an authentic voice and showing off your know-how in your niche can really make a difference.

When your audience sees you as an expert, they’re more likely to take your suggestions and click on those affiliate links.

Nevertheless, it’s crucial to include an affiliate disclosure, informing your readers that your blogs contain affiliate links. This is considered best practice amongst affiliate marketers.

Targeting Relevant Keywords and Search Engine Optimization

Getting the right people to visit your affiliate blog is super important, and that’s where search engine optimization (SEO) comes in.

Using the right keywords helps your blog show up in search results, making it easier for potential readers to find you. Here are some handy SEO tips to help you out:

1. Do some keyword research: Keyword research tools like Keywords Everywhere and Answer The Public are great for finding those specific, longer keywords that aren’t as competitive.
2. Make your blog post titles and descriptions pop: These are what people see in search results. Make them interesting so folks will want to click on your blog. This helps increase your click-through rate (CTR).
3. Add a sitemap to your site: This helps search engines understand your site’s layout and content, which can boost your ranking.

By using these SEO strategies, you make your blog more visible to people looking for info on the affiliate products you’re talking about. It’s all about getting your content out there where it can be seen and clicked on!

Promoting Your Affiliate Blog on Social Media Platforms

Spreading the word about your affiliate blog on social media platforms or blog promotion platforms can really boost your reach.

When you share content that’s truly helpful – think great advice, customer success stories, or how-to guides that tie into your affiliate products – you’re giving your followers something valuable.

This kind of content can get a lot of people heading over to your blog.

Keep an eye on how your social media posts are doing. Use analytics to figure out which types of posts get the most likes, shares, and comments. Once you know what works, do more of that on all your social media platforms to get seen by even more people.

Staying active and sharing helpful stuff on social media platforms regularly can help you build a group of loyal followers.

And guess what?

This can really speed up your affiliate sales. It shouldn’t be your primary traffic strategy as an affiliate SEO blogger, but it can help to bring extra eyeballs to your site.

Leverage Internal Linking to Drive Affiliate Sales

Using internal linking in your blog is a smart way to connect your readers with more of your content and those affiliate products you’re promoting. When done correctly, it can also give your blog a significant ranking boost.

Tools like Link Whisper can make this easier by suggesting the best internal links and the right words to use for those links. Here’s how to do internal linking the right way:

• Include internal links where they make sense: Include these links in articles that really match up with the content you’re talking about.
• Help your reader out: Use internal links to point them to more info that goes well with whatever it is you’re writing about from one article to the next.
• Focus on linking between highly relevant content pieces: Make sure you only link articles together that are highly relevant to one another, and preferably articles that are within the same category in the early days of building your blog. This technique can help you to establish topical relevance as you continue to publish more and more content around the same topic.

Maximizing Your Affiliate Income

Once you’ve got your content up and ranking, your affiliate articles can keep earning money with just a little bit of upkeep.

But to really make the most of this opportunity, you’ve got to lay down some solid foundations.

This means developing your website carefully, making sure you’re targeting the right keywords or high volume keywords with high search volume, and really getting what your audience is looking for.

To ramp up your affiliate income, you need a good plan. Use the best affiliate tools out there and focus on creating blog content that continually meets your audience’s needs.

Then, once you’ve got the right people coming to the right articles, it’s time to turn those visitors into Benjamin’s!

One great tool to help you to this is ConvertBox. This tool is a powerhouse tool and very affiliate friendly. It’s packed with conversion features like popups, ribbons, embeds, and email capture forms.

Since I installed ConvertBox on my websites, I’ve noticed a significant increase in earnings.

And, the great thing about ConvertBox is you can get lifetime access for a one-time price. So, you won’t have to worry about paying for this tool month in and month out. One payment and you’re done, and you can use it on as many websites as you like.

Tracking Affiliate Sales and Income with Google Analytics

Keeping tabs on your affiliate sales and flow of income gets a whole lot easier with tools like Google Analytics.

When you hook it up to your blog, you get to see all sorts of detailed info. This means you can check out how each of your affiliate links is doing.

Want to make it even simpler?

Use a plugin like MonsterInsights. It connects Google Analytics right to your WordPress dashboard. This way, you can easily see which links your audience is clicking on and how they’re behaving on your site.

This kind of information is super valuable for affiliate marketers. It helps you figure out what kind of content and marketing strategies are working best. With these insights, you can steer your efforts in a direction that’s more likely to bring in the profits.

Leveraging Promotional Materials from Affiliate Programs

Making your affiliate blog successful means being efficient with your content creation and marketing. That’s where the promotional materials from affiliate programs really come in handy.

Why Choosing The Right Affiliate Marketing Niche Is Crucial for Success

Choosing the right niche is crucial because it sets the trajectory for your affiliate marketing journey.

Your selected niche directly influences the type of products you will endorse, and the target audience you’ll reach with your affiliate links, making it a pivotal decision.

In an ideal scenario, your chosen niche will have high demand and low competition. This balance allows you to tap into a hungry market without having to fight tooth and nail against competitors.

But how do you know what niche to choose? Often, it starts with your own interests or hobbies.

Leveraging a niche related to something you are passionate about makes your affiliate marketing efforts more enjoyable and your affiliate project more rewarding. This passion not only shines through in your marketing efforts but also helps you remain committed, especially during the tough times.

So, selecting a niche that aligns with your personal interests will likely muster a stronger commitment in you. This is key in an industry that requires constant learning and adaptation.

However, it’s essential to note that personal interest isn’t the only factor. You should validate your passion with market demand, profitability, and competition levels if you want your online business or affiliate project to be successful long-term.

Thorough research plays a significant role here.

Spending time researching lucrative niches that you can compete in is super-important. It helps you avoid the pitfalls of selecting a low-quality affiliate niche, an overly saturated market or one with minimal consumer interest, which can result in you just not making much money from your endeavour.

Most importantly, conducting thorough research will undoubtedly assist in formulating a more effective affiliate marketing strategy.

Why You Should Think About Your Interests & Expertise

Diving into your interests and areas of expertise is the first step in choosing a profitable niche and horning your affiliate marketing skills.

You may be a keen gardener, a seasoned tech-enthusiast, or an expert cake decorator – these interests can form the basis of your niche.

The reason is simple: readers flock to blogs, YouTube channels, and social influencers who exhibit a deep understanding and passion. It breeds trust, and trust is the linchpin in converting visitors into customers.

Your interests and expertise give you an edge. It’s not just about promoting products from potential affiliate partners, it’s about providing value to your readers within a niche you’re passionate about.

List Out Your Interests and Expertise

Start by grabbing a pen and paper, or opening a new document on your computer.

Now, think about what lights you up – what activities, topics or hobbies could you spend hours talking about or doing?

Write them all down.

These can range from your love for cooking, traveling, fitness, tech gadgets, fashion, to any other hobby or passion you might have. No affiliate niche idea is too big or too small at this stage.

Next, jot down your areas of expertise. These are subjects or fields where you have considerable knowledge or skills.

Maybe you’re a pro at coding, a certified yoga teacher, or an excellent home baker. Don’t overlook anything – even the smallest skill could offer potential.

Why is this step so important?

Simply put, this list is the foundation for your niche research. It’s much easier to promote products or services that align with your interests and expertise because you’re already familiar with the industry, understand the audience, and most importantly, ensure you genuinely enjoy the subject matter.

Remember, in the world of affiliate marketing, authenticity and passion shine through, driving trust and conversions. Your interests and expertise are your superpowers, leverage them wisely.

Consider Sub and Micro Niches

Taking a step further in your research, don’t overlook the potential of sub-niches and micro-niches.

What’s a sub-niche, you ask?

Let’s say you’ve picked fitness as your main niche. A sub-niche could be yoga or weightlifting, and a micro-niche might be prenatal yoga or vegan bodybuilding.

These smaller categories within a broader niche cater to a more specific audience and offer a more focused approach to affiliate marketing.

The advantage of sub or micro niching?

They typically face less competition and have a highly engaged audience.

Choosing these niches for affiliate marketing not only makes it easier to rank for in search engines, but their audience often shows strong loyalty and high conversion rates.

By drilling down into sub-niches and micro-niches, you might just discover an untapped goldmine perfectly suited to your interests and expertise.

If you want some decent affiliate niche ideas to spark your creative thinking, then check out our article on 267 micro niche ideas here.

Niche Profitability – Factors To Consider

Monetization and profitability are critical factors when choosing an affiliate marketing niche.

First, ask yourself if there’s a “hungry” audience in this niche. Are there people willing and able to spend their disposable income on products or services that align with this niche?

If there’s evidence of spending, this is a good sign.

Next, investigate the types of products or services people buy within this niche. Are they physical products, digital products, courses, services, or something else? The more varied the product range, the greater your potential for diverse and flexible affiliate marketing opportunities.

The presence and variety of affiliate programs available is a key indicator of a niche’s potential. Are there high-ticket affiliate programs that offer excellent commission rates for single purchases?

What about recurring affiliate programs that provide regular income from repeat customer purchases?

Both options have their benefits and can significantly impact your earning potential.

Finally, research your potential competitors. Are there successful affiliates within this niche making substantial passive income?

This doesn’t just mean there’s money to be made—it also implies that the market hasn’t reached saturation. Don’t be discouraged by competition; instead, see it as validation of a profitable niche.

Remember, your chosen niche should not only ignite your passion but also hold the promise of monetary gain. Balancing these elements is key to your affiliate marketing success.

How To Identify Profitable Niches (Step-by-Step)

Identifying a profitable niche may seem daunting, but here’s a simple, actionable method to help.

Step 1

Begin with your list of interests and areas of expertise. Pick a few that you’re most passionate about, then use tools like Answer The Public to find out what people are searching for within those areas.

Look for search phrases with a significant number of monthly searches but low competition.

Step 2

Next, use Amazon to explore potential products. Check the best sellers list in categories relevant to your interests.

Are there products with a large number of positive reviews? This can indicate a healthy market.

Step 3

Next stop, social media. Check out popular influencers, pages, or groups within your chosen niches.

Observe the engagement level. High engagement suggests a passionate and active audience, a good sign of profitability.

Step 4

Lastly, consider using tools like SEMrush or Ahrefs to dig deeper into potential competition. Find the gaps where you can provide unique value. Look for affiliate keywords or topics with high traffic or high search volume but low competition.

Investigate Profitable Affiliate Programs In The Niche (Step-by-Step)

Now, let’s dive into finding profitable affiliate programs in your chosen niche. Here are some actionable steps to guide you:

Step 1

Start by using search engines like Google and Bing. Type the niche followed by “affiliate programs” (for example, “garden tools affiliate programs”) in the search bar.

Step 2

Visit the top-ranking affiliate sites and check out the details of their affiliate programs. Look at the commission structure (how much you earn per sale), the cost per click (CPC), and the average sale amount. Higher affiliate commission rates and average sales amount indicate more profitable programs.

Step 3

Evaluate the support provided to affiliates. Does the program offer promotional materials, training, or dedicated affiliate managers? These resources can make your marketing efforts more effective.

Step 4

Lastly, check the product quality and reputation. Look for products with positive reviews and high ratings. These tend to convert better and result in fewer returns or refund requests.

Bear in mind, a high-paying affiliate program is not always the best choice. Consider the potential for consistent sales, the reputation of the program, and the support offered to affiliates.

Research The Competition

Unearthing your competition is a vital step in finding your perfect affiliate niche.

Start by identifying the top players in your desired niche. Use Google to search for key phrases related to your niche and note the top-ranking affiliate websites or blogs. These are your direct competitors.

Also, visit YouTube and search for your niche topics. Look at the top channels in your niche. Check their followers, views, and most importantly, the products they’re endorsing.

On social media, search for related hashtags and note the influencers and businesses using them. If you’re considering paid ads, use tools like SpyFu to examine the strategies of competitors running successful ad campaigns.

What can you learn from them?

Subscribing to your competitors’ email lists to gauge their email marketing strategies is also a great method to find out what they’re up to. Study their content, frequency of emails, promotional strategies, and the products they’re recommending.

Bear in mind, the goal isn’t to replicate their strategy, but to understand what works, identify gaps, and find ways to differentiate yourself.

Don’t view competition as a roadblock. Instead, use it as a learning tool to help you carve your unique path in your chosen niche.

Overall, the most successful affiliates don’t few other affiliates in their space as ‘competition’. Instead, they view them as piers – people to connect with, learn from, and occasionally collaborate with.

Can You Identify Any Market Gaps?

Identifying market gaps in your chosen niche is like discovering untapped gold mines.

Market gaps represent areas where consumer needs are not being met or are under-serviced.

For instance, you might observe that while there’s a myriad of tech gadget reviews on blogs and YouTube, there’s a scarcity of comprehensive guides on using these gadgets.

This gap presents a unique and excellent opportunity for you to create in-depth, user-friendly guides, thus setting yourself apart.

Finding these market gaps involves proactive engagement and research. Connect with your target audience to understand their needs and frustrations.

Pay attention to new trends or popular products with limited reviews. Leverage Google and social media platforms to explore the existing content and gauge the current topics that are being addressed. 

Your role as an affiliate marketer is to add value to your audience’s lives. When you identify a unique problem in your niche that hasn’t been adequately addressed, you’ve found your market gap.

Fill this gap with valuable content and you’ll not only stand out in your niche, but also attract a loyal audience that trusts and values your recommendations.

How Can You Add Value To The Niche?

Adding value to your chosen niche is what sets you apart and establishes you as a trusted, go-to resource. It’s how you turn casual visitors into loyal followers and eventually, buyers.

But how can you add unique value? Let’s break it down.

Start by understanding your audience’s needs and pain points. Dig into comments, forum discussions, and social media chatter within your niche.

What common questions or problems are they facing? Make a list.

Next, consider how your interests, skills, and expertise can help solve these problems or answer these questions.

Could you create a comprehensive guide or a step-by-step tutorial? Maybe you could provide unique insights, tips, or product reviews.

Additionally, consider how you can present your content in an engaging way. Could you incorporate videos, infographics, or podcasts to make your content more digestible and entertaining?

Super-important tip here: Remain consistent and responsive. Regularly produce high-quality content and engage with your audience.

Respond to comments and messages, and take their feedback seriously. This way, you’ll not only add value but also build strong, lasting relationships with your audience.

Remember, value is about making your audience’s life easier, better, or more enjoyable with your content.

Consider Your Primary Traffic Source

Choosing the right niche for your affiliate marketing business isn’t just about finding a profitable market or an area you’re passionate about. It’s also about considering your primary traffic source.

Are you planning to start a blog, build a YouTube channel, or leverage social media platforms? Your choice of traffic source can greatly influence the niche you should venture into.

For instance, if you’re starting a blog, certain niches like health or finance might be challenging to penetrate. These fall under the ‘Your Money Your Life’ (YMYL) category, which Google scrutinizes heavily for authority and credibility. Unless you have significant expertise in these fields, ranking on the first page of Google might be an uphill battle.

On the other hand, if you’re focusing on YouTube or Instagram, niches like beauty, fitness, or lifestyle can be more promising due to the visual nature of these platforms.

Aim to align your niche with your primary traffic source to boost your affiliate marketing revenue and chances of success. Keep this in mind during your research phase, and you’re one step closer to finding your perfect affiliate marketing niche!

Market Demand and Trends

Understanding market demands and trends is another important step to consider in niche research.

Think of it like this – you’re charting a map where trends highlight the path, and market demand shows you the treasure! By understanding what’s popular and sought-after in your chosen field, you can position your affiliate marketing to meet these needs.

Start by using online tools like Google Trends to examine the popularity of specific topics over time.

Look for steady or increasing interest, as this indicates sustainable demand.

Check out industry forums, blogs, and social media discussions for a pulse on current trends and consumer interests. 

Notice any patterns or recurring topics? These could indicate emerging trends and untapped markets!

You could also visit a site like Flippa and browse the recently sold listings in the affiliate category to find out what’s already working.

Another great strategy is to keep an eye on newly released products or services in your niche. Are they creating a buzz? High demand for new products can present ripe affiliate marketing opportunities.

Aligning your affiliate niche idea with market demand and ongoing trends isn’t just smart – it’s profitable! By choosing a niche that’s not only of interest to you, but also to your potential audience, you’re setting yourself up for a win with your online business or affiliate project.

Well, for starters, it allows you to tailor your marketing efforts to a specific group of people, it helps you establish yourself as an expert in that field, and the more specific your niche, the less competition you’ll have to face. It’s like finding a hidden treasure in a vast ocean of possibilities.

In short, choosing a niche is like picking the perfect outfit for a job interview, it may take a bit of time to find the right fit, but once you do, you’ll stand out and make a lasting impression.

Why Focus on Low Competition Niches

Focusing on low competition niches can be a good strategy for small businesses and solopreneurs for several reasons:

1. Easier to establish a foothold: With fewer competitors, it’s easier for a small business or solopreneur to establish a reputation and gain a foothold in the market.
2. Cost-effective marketing: It’s less expensive to market to a niche market than to a broader market. With fewer competitors, it’s more likely that a small business or solopreneur will be able to get their message in front of their target audience at a lower cost.
3. Greater potential for profit: Niche markets often have consumers who are willing to pay a premium for products or services that meet their specific needs. This means that there is greater potential for profit in a niche market than in a broader market.
4. Greater flexibility: By focusing on a niche market, you have greater flexibility to experiment and innovate. They can also pivot more easily if they find that their product or service isn’t resonating with their target market.
5. Greater customer loyalty: When you target a specific niche, they create a loyal customer base. Niche market customers tend to be more passionate about their interests, and they are more likely to remain loyal to the businesses that serve them well.

Focusing on low competition niches can be a good strategy for small businesses and solopreneurs because it allows them to establish a foothold in the market, market cost-effectively, increase the potential for profit, has greater flexibility, and build a loyal customer base.

How to Find Low Competition Niches That Are Profitable

Use Google

Using Google search results is another great way to find lucrative niches that are not competitive.

Many people don’t realize that there can often be a gold mine of profitable niches with low competition staring them in the face when they search on Google.

By searching for keywords related to your products or services, you can get an idea of the level of competition for those keywords and the types of websites that are currently ranking for them.

Here are a few ways to use Google search results to find low competition niches:

1. Analyze the search results: Look at the first page of the search results for a keyword. If the majority of the websites that are ranking are large, well-established brands, it’s likely that the competition is high. However, if the majority of the websites are smaller, less-established sites, it’s likely that the competition is lower.
2. Check the domain authority: Check the domain authority (DA) of the websites that are ranking for a keyword. The higher the DA, the stronger the website, and the more competition there is likely to be. Websites with low DA scores can indicate low competition.
3. Look for long-tail keywords: Long-tail keywords are more specific, longer phrases that are less likely to be targeted by large, well-established brands. By targeting long-tail keywords, you may be able to find niches with lower competition.
4. Check the number of results: By searching the keyword and adding “site:” in front of the keyword and checking the number of results, you can have a rough idea of how many sites are targeting that keyword. The fewer the number of results, the less competition there is.

Google Suggest

Google Suggest is a feature of Google Search that provides a list of suggested searches as a user types a query. It can be a useful tool to find low competition niches because it can give them ideas for long-tail keywords and phrases that they can target in their marketing efforts.

Here are a few ways to use Google Suggest to find low competition niches:

1. Identify long-tail keywords: Google Suggest provides a list of suggested searches that are closely related to the query being typed. By looking at the suggestions, you can identify long-tail keywords and phrases that they can target, which can be less competitive than more general keywords.

3. Check related keywords: As you type in a keyword, Google Suggest will show you related keywords, this can help you to identify other niche topics that are related to the original keyword that you can explore.

Google Trends

Google Trends is a tool that allows users to see how often a particular search term is entered into Google over time.

Google Trends is often a go-to tool for businesses and entrepreneurs to find low competition niches because it can provide insights into the popularity and seasonality of a particular topic, as well as related topics that may have less competition.

By analyzing the trend data, you can often identify niches that are gaining popularity or are likely to be popular in the future, which can be a sign of a niche with lower competition.
2. Look for related topics: Google Trends provides a list of related topics that are closely related to the query being searched. By looking at the related topics, businesses can identify niches that are related to their main topic but may have less competition.
3. Check the regional data: Google Trends provides data on the popularity of a search term in different regions. Analyzing the regional data can help you identify niches that are popular in specific regions, which can be a sign of a niche with lower competition.

People Also Ask

People Also Ask (PAA) is a feature that provides a list of related questions that people often ask when searching for a particular query.

People Also Ask can be a useful tool that many people use to find low competition niches because it can give them ideas for long-tail keywords and phrases that they can target in their marketing efforts, as well as provide insights into the specific queries that people are searching for.

Here are a few ways to use People Also Ask to find low competition niches:

1. Identify long-tail keywords: PAA provides a list of related questions that are closely related to the query being searched. By looking at the questions, it can sometimes be possible to identify long-tail keywords and phrases that they can target, which can be less competitive than more general keywords.
2. Look for specific queries: PAA can also provide specific queries that people are searching for. By identifying specific queries, you might be able to find a specific problem or need to target and then sell to your audience. This can lead to more effective marketing and a greater chance of success.
3. Check related keywords: By clicking on the questions in PAA, you can see other related questions that people also ask, this can help you to identify other niche topics that are related to the original keyword that you can explore.

Trending Topics on Twitter

Using Twitter to find trending topics is another useful way to identify low competition niches.

By looking at the topics that are currently popular on the platform, they can get an idea of what people are interested in and what topics have a high level of engagement.

Here are a few ways to use Twitter trending topics to find low competition niches:

1. Identify popular topics: Twitter’s trending topics feature highlights the most popular topics on the platform at any given time. By looking at these trending topics, you might be able to identify popular topics that they can target in their marketing efforts.

Use Quora

Quora is a question-and-answer platform where people can ask and answer questions on a wide variety of topics.

Quora can be a useful tool to use to find low competition niches because it can provide insights into the specific queries that people are searching for, as well as provide an idea of the level of interest in a particular niche.

Here are a few ways to use Quora to find low competition niches:

1. Analyze popular questions: By looking at the questions that are being asked on Quora, you can sometimes identify popular topics to target. You can then also dig deeper to see if there are any more related questions that can help you to carve out your niche.
2. Look for niche questions: By searching for questions specifically related to a niche topic, you can find further sub-niche topics that may have less competition. These sub-niche topics can often be revealed by searching for specific keywords or looking at popular questions that have a lot of answers. If you then cross-=reference this topic in Google and you find that there are not many big websites covering this topic, then you may be onto a winner.
3. Analyze engagement levels: By looking at the engagement levels of the questions and answers, you can get an idea of how popular the niche is.
4. Identify target audience: Looking at the demographics of the people who are answering the questions will give you an idea of who in particular the topic is of interest to, and how profitable the niche might be for you.

Search Best Selling Products on Online Marketplaces

Searching for best-selling products on online marketplaces is another useful way to uncover profitable, low competition niches.

Online marketplaces, such as Amazon, eBay, and Etsy, provide a wealth of data on what products are popular and in demand.

Here are a few ways to use online marketplaces to find low competition niches:

1. Analyze best-selling products: By looking at the best-selling products on online marketplaces, you can get a clear idea of what niches are currently in demand. Checking the sales rank of various products, as well as reviews, and ratings will help you to gauge the competition level.
2. Look for niche products: By searching for niche products within a category, you can sometimes find overlooked niche topics that may have less competition. These small sub-niches can sometimes be a gold mine, so don’t dismiss them without further research.
3. Check the competition: Looking at the number of sellers and the price range of similar products can give you an idea if you’re looking at a low-competition niche that you can compete in easily.
4. Identify target audience: By looking at the demographics of the customers who are buying the product, you can get an idea of whether the niche will be a profitable one.

Using Domain Auctions

Using domain auctions is another very useful strategy to find niches that have low competition.

Domain auctions are platforms where expired or unused domain names are sold to the highest bidder. By analyzing the expired domain names, or those that are listed for sale, it’s sometimes possible to get an idea of the level of interest and competition in a particular niche.

Here are a few ways to use domain auctions to find low competition niches:

1. Analyze expired domains: By analyzing expired domains, you can identify niches that have been abandoned by previous owners. These niches may be less competitive because the previous owner wasn’t able to make a success of it.
2. Look for niche domains: By searching for niche-specific domain names, you may have some luck in finding niche topics that may have less competition. These niches can be identified by searching for specific keywords or looking at the domain extensions.
3. Check the backlinks: By checking the backlinks of expired or unused domains, you can identify niches that have a high level of interest but low competition.
4. Identify target audience: By looking at the demographics of the previous owner or the audience the domain was targeting, you can identify niches that are popular among their target audience.

I’ve personally used this method myself effectively more than once, and I highly recommend you give it a go.

Search Online Marketplaces Where Websites Are Sold (ie Flippa & Empire Flippers)

Online marketplaces where websites are sold are great platforms to search for low competition niches.

These marketplaces provide a wealth of data on what types of websites are popular and in demand, and more importantly, how much money these sites are making!

By scouring platforms like flippa.com and empireflippers.com, you can browse websites that are for sale, and make a note of any obscure, rare, and interesting niches that you see.

What I particularly love about this method is that a lot of the website listings (but not all) will also tell you how much money the site is making per month. This will basically tell you if the niche that you’re looking at will also be a profitable one for you.

5 Top Low Competition Niches That Are Profitable

Three are lots of good, low competition niches out there, you just need to take some time and do your research to find them.

However, here are 5 great profitable niches with low competition that you can get started with right away if they appeal to you.

The Weighted Blanket Niche

The weighted blanket niche can be a great opportunity for an affiliate marketing business. As the popularity of weighted blankets continues to grow, more and more consumers are searching for information and reviews about these products before making a purchase.

As an affiliate marketer, you can take advantage of this by creating content that educates and informs potential customers about the benefits of weighted blankets and the different options available on the market.

One approach to promoting weighted blankets as an affiliate marketer would be to create in-depth reviews of different products, highlighting the pros and cons of each.

You could also create comparison guides that help consumers understand the differences between different types of weighted blankets, such as those filled with glass beads versus plastic pellets.

Another approach would be to create content that addresses specific concerns or questions that consumers may have about weighted blankets.

For example, you could create articles on how weighted blankets can help with anxiety or insomnia, or how to choose the right weight and size of blanket for an individual.

You can also target specific demographics such as parents, seniors, or people with special needs, and create content that addresses the concerns of these groups.

Electromagnetic Sensitivity

The electromagnetic sensitivity niche is a growing area of concern for many people, as the increasing use of electronic devices and wireless technology has led to increased exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs).

These fields are emitted by a wide range of devices and sources, including cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, power lines, and even appliances.

Some people have reported experiencing symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, and sleep disturbances as a result of exposure to EMFs.

As an affiliate marketer, there are a few different ways you could approach the EMF niche.

One approach would be to focus on providing information and resources on how to reduce exposure to EMFs. This could include articles and guides on how to choose and use EMF-protective products such as radiation shields for cell phones, or EMF-blocking clothing and bedding.

Building an email list in this niche will be an excellent way to build rapport with your audience and recommend products.

You could also niche down and target specific demographics such as parents, pregnant women, or people with chronic illness, and create content that is helpful to these groups.

Blue Light Blocking Devices

The blue light-blocking niche is attracting more and more attention each year, as the use of electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets have increased dramatically in recent years.

Blue light, which is a type of light that is emitted by these devices, has been linked to a variety of health concerns, including insomnia, headaches, problems concentrating, and eye strain.

As an affiliate marketer, there are a few different ways you could approach the blue light-blocking niche.

One idea is to focus on providing information and resources on the effects of blue light on health and sleep, and how to reduce exposure to it.

This could include articles, YouTube videos, and guides on how to use the night shift mode on smartphones and tablets, as well as other DIY ways to protect yourself from blue light exposure.

Then, of course, you can then start to recommend products to your audience such as blue light-blocking glasses, blue and green light-free bulbs, blue light shields, and other gadgets that have been proven to block blue light.

You could also target specific demographics such as students, office workers, or people who spend long hours in front of screens and create content that addresses the concerns of these groups.

NFTs

The NFT (non-fungible token) niche has been rapidly growing over the last couple of years. While there is still not much competition in this niche at the moment, I have a hunch that in a few years’ time the NFT niche will be a highly competitive one.

So, that’s all the more reason to get in now and establish yourself as an authority before the rest of the world does too!

As more and more artists and creators have started using blockchain technology to create and sell unique digital assets, such as digital art, music, videos, and even tweets, there’s a huge new opportunity here.

As an affiliate marketer, there are a few different ways you could approach the NFT niche.

One approach would be to focus on providing information and resources on how NFTs work and how to buy, sell or create them. This could include articles, guides, videos, and a private members area to show how to navigate various NFT marketplaces, how to create your own NFTs, or how to evaluate the value of NFTs.

Another approach would be to promote NFT marketplaces and platforms that allow buying and selling of NFTs. You can also promote NFT wallets that can be used to store and manage NFTs.

You could also target specific demographics such as artists, gamers, collectors, or investors, and create content that addresses the concerns of these groups.

Van Life

The Van Life niche is a growing trend that involves living in a van or other type of recreational vehicle (RV) and traveling to different locations.

Many people who adopt this lifestyle choice to live in vans or RVs in order to have more freedom and flexibility, as well as to experience the outdoors and live closer to nature.

As an affiliate marketer, there are a few different ways you could approach the Van Life niche.

One approach would be to focus on providing information and resources on how to convert a van or RV into a livable space, including guides on how to choose the right van or RV, how to plan and design the interior, and how to install electrical, plumbing, and other systems.

There are lots of products to promote in this niche, some of which are high-ticket products. Some great ideas include things like solar panels, generators, portable toilets, RV mattresses, and other gear and equipment used for van life. and, of course, don’t forget that you can also sign up with an RV company and promote RVs to your audience too for really big commissions!

You could also target specific demographics such as retirees, digital nomads, or families with children, and create content that addresses the concerns of these groups.

Low Competition Niches – My Final Thoughts

Low competition niches are the secret weapon of the savvy entrepreneur. By taking the time to research and identify these hidden gems, you’ll be able to tap into untapped markets and reap the rewards of less competition.

So, don’t be afraid to think outside the box and look for those low-hanging fruits, because sometimes, the road less traveled leads to the sweetest success.

If you’re new to blogging, then you may be getting hung up on niche selection.

Don’t worry, you’re not alone. It’s actually very important to get this right before you start, even before you buy your domain name.

One of the biggest mistakes newbies make is rushing this step only to find a few weeks or months later that they’ve chosen a niche that is too competitive, makes little-to-no money, or just doesn’t hold enough interest for them.

By choosing a micro niche for blogging, you make the process a whole lot easier on yourself, and you cut out a ton of the competition before you start.

Here in this article, I’m going to tell you what you need to know to choose a good micro niche, and give you a huge list of micro niche ideas for blogging to get you started.

Let’s dive in!

What Is a Micro Niche?

A micro niche is a highly specific business category that provides a laser-focused offering to its target audience and customer.

Micro niches are also sometimes referred to as sub-niches. Basically, a micro-niche, or sub-niche, drills down from large top-level niches that are very broad.

An example of a top-level niche (broad niches) would be ‘Finance’. Finance is a huge topic with many sub-topics. A few examples include debt consolidation, asset management, investing, financial freedom, saving money, etc. Each of these can be considered a micro-niche of the finance niche.

What Is a Micro Niche Blog?

A micro-niche blog is a blog that is entirely focused on the sub-niche you have selected from the top-level niche category.

Indeed, there will likely be multiple categories for you to write about within your micro-niche. However, the entire blog will be focused on serving the people who are interested in this particular topic.

A micro-niche blog is a great way to get started when it comes to blogging. However, if the micro-niche is very small, then you may find you run out of blog post ideas at some point.

To prevent this from happening, choose a domain name that is related to your micro-niche blog idea, but is still broad enough that you can expand into a new sub-niche later. Consider the top-level niche you’re working in when choosing a name for your blog.

Why Choose a Micro Niche For Blogging?

When it comes to blogging, it can be very helpful to choose a micro-niche for a number of reasons.

Let’s take the finance niche as an example again.

So, if you wanted to start a finance blog and decide to cover anything and everything related to finance then you’re gonna get lost in the crowd. It’s a highly competitive space with a number of big players in the game like NerdWallet, ThePennyHoarder, and TheMotleyFool, to name just a few.

Going head-to-head with these guys just won’t be possible, unless you’ve got a huge budget behind you. And even then, as a new blog, you’ve still got a lot of catching up to do.

So, the answer for you to be able to compete and still get traffic is to drill down as much as possible on a micro-niche. This way your blog can become super-relevant for your ultra-specific category.

And when it comes to ranking in search engines, relevance plays a big part.

There may be bigger sites in your niche that are more authoritative than you, but if Google perceives your site to be more relevant for a specific topic, then they’ll give you enough credit to outrank the big guys for your key terms.

Defining your micro-niche will also make it easier for you to find good long-tail keywords to rank for, think of content ideas, and speak to your target audience.

Pros and Cons of Micro Niche Blogs

While there are a lot of advantages to building a micro-niche blog to gain organic search traffic, this strategy does also have some drawbacks too.

Here are the pros and cons of choosing a micro niche for blogging.

Pros of Micro Niche Blogs

• Easier to build your target audience
• Your conversion rates can be better since your audience is super-specific
• You can grow your blog more quickly
• You have more chance of standing out
• You can build more topical relevance for your target keywords
• You can outrank big sites for certain keywords once Google perceives your site is more relevant to the topic
• Easier to think of blog post ideas

Cons of Micro Niche Blogs

• There will be a ceiling to how much traffic, and therefore, the money you can make with your blog
• You might run out of content ideas
• Not as easy to expand beyond your chosen sub niche topic

How To Find Micro Niche Blog Ideas

I’m going to share lots of micro niche topic ideas in this article. However, if you want to expand beyond this list, then here are several ways to find good blogging niche ideas at a micro level.

Check Lists From Other Bloggers

You probably found this article by searching for micro niche ideas in Google or one of the other search engines. Although I’m going to cover a ton of niche ideas in this article for you, you may also want to go and check what other bloggers have listed too.

There are just so many niche ideas, chances are I might miss a few.

Use Amazon

Amazon has a huge database of products and actually has its own search engine. You can go to the Amazon marketplace and dig through the categories they have listed.

I also recommend checking which products are selling best on Amazon to give you an idea of the niche that has a hungry buying audience. This is a great way to tell if there’s money to be made in a niche.

Check The Big Sites

If you know the top-level niche you’d like to work in but you’re struggling to find your sub niche, take a look at some of the big sites in your market.

The big players usually cover multiple sub niches, and an easy way to identify them is to look at the categories they cover. Often, each of the categories is sub niches by themselves, some of which can be highly lucrative.

So, it might be worth your while to build a new niche site around just one of the categories covered on one of these monster blogs.

Check Affiliate Marketplaces

There are lots of affiliate marketplaces out there such as ClickBank, Commission Junction, ShareASale, and FlexOffers, to name just a few. Each of these platforms has a huge database of affiliate products organized by category.

Just one of these categories can be a gold mine for you, and it’s a great way to look for affiliate programs you can promote on your blog at the same time!

What Are The Most Profitable Blog Niche Ideas?

While you should be able to make money in the niches listed above, some of them may only earn you a small amount of money each month with Google AdSense.

Having said that, there are some niches on this list that are so lucrative they have the potential to earn you life-changing passive income.

Generally, some of the most lucrative niches can be found under the following categories:

• Wealth and Personal Finance
• Business and Marketing
• Beauty
• Health
• Technology

That’s not to say you can’t make great money in some of the other niches on this list.

You absolutely can.

In fact, there are some affiliates out there who earn 6-figures per month in unlikely niches such as the astrology and numerology space!

If you want to know more about the most lucrative options, see my article on profitable blog niches.

How To Start a Micro Niche Blog

The first step to starting a micro niche blog is to choose a niche. You can broaden your niche later as long as you haven’t restricted yourself too much by the domain name you have chosen.

The next step is to do extensive keyword research and plan out your content strategy. You can use a tool like ahrefs.com to analyze the competitors in your space, and download lists of keywords they are ranking for.

Then, organize your keywords into relevant article topic ideas. Make a list of at least 50 blog posts you plan to write and assign the relevant keywords to each post so you know ahead of time exactly what you’re going to write about.

Additionally, bloggers use writing tools to make sure they complete their content on time. In this situation, a paragraph writer helps come up with ideas and makes writing easier, making it faster to create content.

Then, organize each of these first 50 articles into the various sub-categories that you plan to cover on your blog. When it comes to writing, start with just one sub-category first (also known as a hub), and publish all those articles first before moving on to the articles in the next sub-category.

Wait. I’m getting ahead of myself.

Before you begin writing, after you have done your keyword research and planned your content, you need to choose a domain name.

I recommend you use Namecheap to buy your domain name.

Namecheap is one of the most trusted domain name registrars, and you can pick up your domain for as low as $0.99 through this link.

Choosing a domain name that is related to your top-level niche and also covers your micro niche (but does not define the micro niche) will give you room to expand beyond your micro niche a year or so down the line.

This is important in case you run out of content ideas for your micro niche. If you have followed this step, you will be able to continue to build your blog into other topics later.

Next, you need to buy an affordable hosting plan and upload WordPress as your content management system.

If you’re just getting started, I recommend you use ChemiCloud for your WordPress hosting. They are an affordable cloud-based hosting company with fast servers and excellent customer support in case you get stuck.

I have used ChemiCloud for a few micro niche site projects and have always been impressed with their service, especially at the low prices they charge.

You can get up to 65% discount on ChemiCloud hosting here.

Now you’re ready to start writing and publishing your content.

If this is your first time building a blog, read my article on the best affiliate programs for beginners to get started. Here you’ll find several great networks you can join for free to find good affiliate products to promote on your blog.

Lastly, I highly recommend you take a course that covers blogging, SEO, and affiliate marketing in depth.

If you take blogging seriously, then it has the potential to change your life financially if you know what you are doing.

Matt Diggity is one of the world’s affiliate marketers, making the bulk of his income through his portfolio of niche content sites. His specialty is affiliate SEO, which means he teaches you how to do the following things:

• Identify highly profitable niches
• Build your website
• SEO ninja techniques to rank number 1 in Google
• Monetize with highly profitable affiliate offers
• Automate and outsource your business
• Manage multiple successful websites that make money

Matt’s course is called The Affiliate Lab, and you can get a $200 discount if you sign up here.

Micro Niche Blog Ideas: Final Thoughts

So, there you have it, my list of the best micro niche blog ideas!

While you should be able to make money in any of the above categories, not every blogging niche listed above will be a high earner for you.

Some niches will only be monetizable through an ad network like Google AdSense. However, others are highly profitable blog niches that can lead you to financial freedom with the right training.

If you want to get that training, then click the button below to get $200 off Matt Diggity’s Affiliate Lab training course.

Defining your blog niche is a crucial first step as it will help you to craft your content and build your brand.

If making money online is your goal, then you’ll want to know which are the most profitable blog niches before you start.

Unfortunately, not all blog niches make money, so it’s important to choose your niche carefully if you want to turn your site into a profitable online business.

Here are 9 of the most profitable blog niches you can start right now.

Can You Really Make Money Blogging?

If you’re wondering if you can really make money blogging, the answer is yes, provided you choose a profitable niche.

If you want to start making money from home, then blogging is one of the best ways to do it. It’s not easy, but if you follow some basic rules, you can earn very decent money blogging from home.

One of the most appealing sides to blogging is the ability to earn passive income. Once your blog posts rank in search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing, they will attract your target audience on autopilot.

The most common way to monetize a blog is through placing affiliate links in articles. However, there are several other ways to monetize your blog besides affiliate marketing.

Some alternative methods include creating your own digital products such as eBooks and courses, sourcing and selling physical products, and using ad networks like Google AdSense, Ezoic, AdThrive, and MediaVine.

Choosing Your Blogging Niche – Things To Consider

Many people make the mistake of either choosing a niche that is too competitive for them, or they pick a topic that they just don’t have enough interest in.

While it can be an attractive idea to start a blog in say, the investing niche (since it’s so highly profitable), if your interest in the subject is limited, then your blog will likely flop.

When you first get started, there are a few important things you should consider before you take the plunge.

So, it, of course, makes sense to pick a niche that you have at the very least enough interest in it to learn more about it as you build your blog.

You also need to consider the size of the niche.

If it’s too broad, then you’ll get lost in the crowd and it will be too hard to compete. For example, ‘finance’ is a huge topic with many sub-categories. In order to gain traction, you’ll need to choose a sub-niche.

I advise continuing to drill down on your niche until you can clearly define a smaller target audience, known as a micro-niche. This is one important way you’ll stand out from the crowd.

Here’s an example of how this looks:

1. Top-level niche: Finance
2. Sub-niche: Saving money
3. Micro-niche: Saving money tips for first-time homebuyers

Doing this process will help you to clearly define your target market. Not only will this make it easier for you to think of blog post ideas, but you will stand a higher chance of monetizing your audience later on since you’ll be able to speak directly to their needs, wants, desires, and pain points.

You should also think carefully about whether you want to blog anonymously, or if you’re happy to be the face of your blog. While you can blog anonymously, I recommend the latter wherever possible. This is because it will be easier for you to build trust with your audience.

Secondly, if you are the face of your blog, then you will also find the outreach process easier once you come to the stage of building collaborative connections with other bloggers in your space.

Also, make sure your micro-niche is part of an evergreen niche, which is a niche that will always generate interest, regardless of what else changes in the world.

Some evergreen niche examples include health, wealth, relationships, self-help, technology, recreation.

Why Picking a Blog Niche Matters

The most important thing you can do when starting out is to pick a niche that interests you. If you don’t like what you’re doing, it’s going to show in your writing. And if you don’t enjoy what you’re writing, readers aren’t going to stick around long enough to read it.

It’s also worth noting that picking a niche doesn’t mean you’ll never branch out into something else. You might feel inspired by a particular niche, and decide to write about it. But you shouldn’t limit yourself to one topic forever.

This is why the domain name you pick for your niche is such an important consideration. If you include the sub-niche topic in your domain name, then it’ll be very difficult for you to expand out into other topics through your blog content.

Instead, choose a domain name that is broad enough for you to branch out into multiple categories in the future as you grow.

For example, I chose the domain name entrepreneurnut.com for this blog. Ultimately, my main interest is entrepreneurism, and I have several interests within this larger category. However, entrepreneurism is a huge topic by itself. So, I chose to first blog about the sub-category of affiliate marketing, since that is the topic I know the most about in this category.

In time, as my site grows I plan to start new categories on this site on topics such as eCommerce, Dropshipping, digital product creation, etc.

So, choose a domain name that is relevant to your primary sub-niche, but doesn’t restrict you from covering other topics in your broader niche category later if you want to expand your blog.

The Most Profitable Blog Niche Ideas

Here is my list of the 9 most profitable blogging niches you can start right now.

The Personal Finance Niche

It’s no secret that personal finance blogs are among some of the most profitable on the internet. There’s a lot of scope to sub-niche in this space to further define your target audience.

For example, you might decide to center your blog around saving money, financial independence, credit repair, frugal living, or hacks for acquiring student loans.

Alternatively, if investing is your thing, then you may want to start a blog in the investing niche, or even on a particular sub-section of the stock market.

There are lots of high-paying affiliate offers in the personal finance niche, so once the search engines start sending you blog traffic, you shouldn’t have too much trouble making money if your content is good.

The Business and Digital Marketing Niche

The business and digital marketing niche is another highly profitable space to be in.

There are lots of opportunities to specialize and stand out from the crowd here. Not only that but new opportunities are being created on almost a daily basis.

For example, AI writing tools is a fairly new niche that emerged in 2020/2021 and looks like it’s here to stay. So, ‘AI tech for businesses’ is a great emerging micro-niche that you can jump on if it interests you.

Another example of this is the ‘sales funnels’ niche. Sales funnels have been used for decades, even before the internet emerged. However, the ClickFunnels company created so much hype around sales funnels during and after their launch in 2014 that many blogging newbies build blogs all around the concept of sales funnels.

Other lucrative blog micro niche ideas in this space include eCommerce growth hacks, dropshipping, Amazon FBA, MLM online, affiliate marketing on YouTube, etc.

The Beauty and Fashion Niche

The beauty industry generates over $500 billion per year globally. It’s a huge, growing market, which means it has plenty of room for new entrants.

If you want to start a blog about makeup, skincare, haircare, nail art, skin treatments, fashion, or any other related topic, then this could be a highly lucrative business idea for you.

Once you’ve defined your blog niche, you’ll need to do some research into the best products to sell. Don’t be scared of the competition, as they can be your greatest guide in helping you find what’s selling well.

Spend time researching competitors in your market and list their blogs, YouTube Channels, Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok accounts. Then, list which products each one is promoting, and make a note of the URL to sign up for the product’s affiliate program in case you want to do the same later.

Then, look at your list and take note of the commonly promoted products between your competitors. Start with these ones, as they will be more likely to convert.

Beauty and fashion bloggers often put a lot of time into their social media marketing.

Platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest work extremely well for them due to the highly visual nature of this niche. So you should also follow suit if you want to compete in this space.

The Personal Development Niche

The personal development niche has become increasingly popular in recent years and is said to reach $56.66 billion USD by 2027.

It’s one of the most lucrative blogging niches out there because people are willing to pay for information they can use to improve their lives.

So if you’re looking to create a blog where you share valuable content that helps others achieve their goals, then this is the perfect opportunity for you. Just be clear on exactly what you want to help people with.

You can also provide tips on how to get started with certain tasks, such as learning a language, being more productive, breaking a particular habit, or improving relationships. The possibilities are endless.

There are also lots of highly credible people in this space who have products you can promote as an affiliate. Some examples of people to check out are Tony Robbins, Bob Proctor, Tim Ferriss, Brendan Burchard, Gabrielle Bernstein, and Brain Tracey.

Not all of them will have affiliate programs. But if you start digging into what they offer, you’ll soon find some good affiliate products you can promote, either theirs or someone else’s.

You’ll also gain valuable insight into the kinds of products they sell, and how they make them available for people to purchase. This will stand you in good stead later if you choose to create your own digital products.

The Health and Wellness Niche

The health and wellness niche is one of the most popular areas within the blogging world. It covers everything from nutrition to weight loss, to medical topics.

A word of warning here, the health niche is extremely competitive, and search engines like Google want to see a high level of credibility behind a blog in terms of bonafide credentials, especially if you’re blogging about medical topics.

Without this, your site just won’t rank.

This also goes for the finance niche too. Google has a policy known as ‘YMYL’, which stands for, Your Money, Your Life. If your blog has the potential to impact someone’s money (ie finances), or their life (ie health), then Google won’t rank your site if they think you’re about as credible as Dr. Nick from the Simpsons.

If you want to blog anonymously, then this niche is also out for you if you hope to gain any sizeable search engine traffic and build trust with your audience.

Having said that, if you’re the right person to break into this niche, then it can be lucrative. It will take some time for you to gain search engine traffic in this space, so it’s also worth leveraging social media as your blog grows, especially in the early days.

The Fitness Niche

The fitness niche makes a lot of money because it’s one of the most popular topics online. People want to lose weight, gain muscle mass, and improve their overall health.

They spend a lot of money on supplements and equipment, and they read blogs from people who offer tips and tricks on how to achieve this goal.

There are often new trends emerging in the fitness space, so you could start a blog on a particular method of exercise like cross-fit.

Alternatively, you might prefer to start a blog that offers dieting advice for athletes in a particular sport.

The Technology Niche

Sites like Gizmodo, Engadget, and CNET are all highly successful affiliate blogs. While these sites are giants in the tech space that cover anything and everything in their niche, you don’t need to worry that there’s no space left for you to compete.

In fact, if you can specialize in a particular micro-niche, then, in time, it is possible for you to outrank these big sites for some long-tail keywords if Google perceives your site as more relevant to that topic.

Again, there are lots of choices here when it comes to choosing a micro-niche, and new trends are emerging all the time.

The Dating Niche

The dating niche is another space where you can make a lot of money online. There are a ton of online dating sites out there to review, all with affiliate programs.

you can choose to start a blog on a narrow dating topic such as senior dating, or you might want to just offer dating advice to a specific gender.

Alternatively, you can start an online dating site review blog, and provide detailed reviews and information about each of the many platforms out there.

Besides promoting online dating sites, you can also recommend various digital products such as a dating guide, or courses created by relationship experts to help with a particular problem.

The Make Money Online Niche

The make money online space is one of the most profitable niches to be in.

Sub-niches in this category include topics like blogging, affiliate marketing, SEO, social media marketing, video marketing, etc. See there is some crossover with the business and marketing niche here.

Again, there’s a lot of competition in this space, so you’ll need to think carefully about your micro-niche.

Trust is also an important factor in this space as, unfortunately, there are some scammers in this space. So, in order to be successful in this niche, you’ll need to build trust with your audience and be transparent.

Final Thoughts on Choosing the Best Blogging Niche

So, there you have it, my list of the 9 most profitable blog niches!

While these niches are the most profitable, this does not mean you can’t make a lot of make money in other niches.

You absolutely can.

Other noteworthy niches to make money blogging include parenting, gaming, eco-friendly homes, sustainable living, spirituality, and food blogs to name but a few.

Here is my Copywriting Secrets review, I’ll tell you if this book is really worth your time.

If you’ve been trying to sell your product or service online but are not having much luck then one of the most likely things that are letting you down is your sales copy.

Being able to write copy that converts is a million-dollar skill that takes years to learn.

Fortunately for you and me, we don’t need to be master copywriters to make a full-time income online…

All you need to do is to be good at the fundamentals and understand the psychology behind selling to get people to buy your stuff.

Now, you can learn how to do this and more in Jim Edwards’ new book.

And there’s even more great news… You can get a free copy for a limited time. You just need to cover the shipping.

Below is a closer look at what you’ll learn from this book.

The Copywriting Secrets Book – What’s Inside?

Well, the title is a bit of a giveaway – the book is about the secret strategies of master copywriters use to sell more stuff.

The book contains 31 different secrets broken down by chapter. In each chapter, Jim goes into detail and explains the secrets in an easy-to-understand way.

What I particularly like about Jim’s approach is he also teaches in a way that you can actually take action immediately on what you are learning and put it into practice.

Who Is Jim Edwards?

If you’re part of the ClickFunnels community then no doubt, you will already know of Jim through his super-helpful marketing video tips that are available to the ClickFunnels community.

If you want some free copywriting training from Jim then you can register for his free webinar here.

If you don’t already know him then here’s some background on the guy.

In his early career, Jim Edwards worked in sales for a finance company and was often responsible for creating their sales copy.

Jim found he had a knack for it and spent a considerable amount of time learning all he could about copywriting to perfect his craft.

Around 2000, Jim decided to work for himself online.

Since that time, Jim has had tremendous success both with affiliate marketing and through selling his own products.

Jim is also the creator of several successful software products.

Probably the most well-known software product by Jim is the auto-generating sales copy software, Funnel Scripts.

Jim partnered with another super-successful marketer, Russell Brunson, the owner of ClickFunnels, and brought this product to the online marketing community.

Copywriting Secrets – The Key Points

If you’re wondering if this book is too advanced, or too simple for you, then here’s some more info that will help you decide if it’s right for you.

Copywriting Secrets For Beginners

If you’re a newbie to the world of online marketing, then this book will give you a solid foundation in the art and science of copywriting.

When I first got my copy of the Copywriting Secrets book, I thought it was gonna be pretty basic since Jim is giving it away for free. However, that’s not the case at all. I was very surprised at the detail Jim goes into, and the number of strategies he reveals.

In my opinion, Copywriting Secrets is a great book for both beginners and experienced copywriters.

If you’re a complete newbie to the world of online marketing, then this book will certainly get you moving in the right direction.

Copywriting Secrets For Experienced Marketers

By the time I read Jim’s Copywriting Secrets book, I was already a seasoned marketer with around seven years of experience. Several of my businesses require me to write sales copy and email copy, which I have mostly learned myself.

While I am by no means a master copywriter, I’m quite okay at it, and my copy does bring me results.

Reading Jim Edwards’ Copywriting Secrets book gave me a deeper perspective on writing sales copy and I also learned several things that I did not know before.

If you’re an experienced marketer with some experience writing copy then it’s highly likely that you will also learn a few new things from Jim’s book too.

The Copywriting Secrets Sales Funnel

The Copywriting Secrets book by Jim Edwards is currently free, you just need to cover shipping. However, we don’t know how long Jim’s planning to give this book away for free.

If you are thinking about getting a copy then I highly recommend you grab one now before he starts charging for it.

You can get your copy of Jim’s book here.

When you get your copy of the book you will be offered 3 upsells in the funnel.

• Copywriting Secrets Audio Book – $27
• Sales Story Secrets – $97
• Funnel Scripts – $697

While you can also buy Funnel Scripts directly, it’s worth bearing in mind that the other two products are only offered in this funnel.

If you want to get one of them and you don’t take up the offer then you will not be able to go back later to order them.

The only way you could have another chance to get them is to get the Copywriting Secrets book and go through the funnel again.

Do I Need The Copywriting Secrets AudioBook?

If you’re a slow reader, you’ve already got several books on the go and don’t have the time to start reading a new one or if you just don’t like reading then spending $27 on the audiobook will be a wise investment for you.

Personally, I love listening to business audiobooks while I’m driving or going through my morning routine. This has probably saved me hundreds of hours over the years.

Is There a PDF Download?

No, there is currently no PDF download for this book. If you want to read it then you will need to order the paperback version and wait for it to arrive in the post.

Copywriting Secrets Pricing

The Copywriting Secrets book retails at $19.95. However, as I mentioned above, you can get the book for free, but likely only for a limited time.

If you are thinking of getting a copy then I highly recommend you get it now while this offer is still available.

When you order the book, you will get a free copy, but you will need to cover the shipping cost.

Copywriting Secrets Review: My Final Thoughts

So, do I think it’s worth spending a few bucks on shipping to get the Copywriting Secrets book?

Yes, definitely.

As you’ve seen above in this Copywriting Secrets review, you can also get the audiobook version. So, if you’re short on time to read it then I also highly recommend investing the $27 to get the audio.

Personally, I didn’t get the audio version of this book, but I wish I had done so. I’m currently reading it for the second time and this book is definitely the kind of material you’re gonna want to refer back to again and again.

Looking For More Resources For Writing Copy?

If you want to read more product reviews, I have written several others that can help you build your business online. They can be found over on my Entrepreneur Nut homepage.

It’s time to ditch the fads and go for something a little more timeless: evergreen niches.

In this blog post, we’ll explore what evergreen niches are and why they’re a smart choice for your business or blog. We’ll also give you a list of the top 6 evergreen niches and 81 sub-niche ideas to get you started.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to pivot your existing business, these evergreen niches are a surefire way to weather the storms of change and keep your content relevant for years to come.

Prefer to listen to the audio version of this article?

What Is An Evergreen Niche

An evergreen niche is a topic that doesn’t lose its value or relevance over time. It’s a subject that people will always have an interest in or a need for, until the end of time.

For example, Relationships are a great evergreen niche because we are a social species and we will always have the need to start, nurture and maintain good relationships.

One very popular evergreen sub-niche of the relationship market is the dating niche. There will always be people who are interested in dating or need help when it comes to their love life.

Why Choose An Evergreen Niche For Blogging?

Choosing an evergreen niche for blogging is usually the best way to go, in my opinion. It gives you the opportunity to write one article and use it again and again for multiple purposes.

Considering it now takes time for new articles to rank (unless your blog has crazy-high authority), it makes sense to focus on topics that people will always search for.

You can write an article now that is still relevant in 5-10 years’ time. You may have to tweak it here and there when it needs to be updated, but for the most part, the overall topic is always relevant.

Is It Enough To Just Blog About a Niche That Is Evergreen?

No. There are quite a lot of evergreen niches out there that are just not profitable.

Sure, you might make a bit of money with some of them. But considering the amount of time (and money) it takes to grow and rank a successful blog, you’re gonna want to choose a niche that you can also make decent money from.

Some people argue that you could make money from any niche that you can generate a decent level of traffic to your blog if you’re monetizing with an ad network like MediaVine or AdThrive.

While that may be true to a point, yes, you could join an ad network and slap the ad banners all over your site. But if the niche doesn’t make much money in general, then you’re not gonna get paid much per click.

Another reason this is not a good idea is that you’re also going to be limited to one monetization strategy. What if the ad network decides they don’t like your site anymore and kick you off, and you can’t get approved to another one?

Using an ad network also slows down your site speed considerably, and affects user experience. Google is now super-hot on sites providing both a good user experience for visitors and having a site that loads quickly.

If people are leaving your site because it’s taking too long to load, or because they’re getting annoyed by too many ads then Google may demote your rankings.

Since May 2021 Google is now using these factors as ranking signals. You can check how your site is doing in this regard in the core web vitals section of your Google Search Console.

I’m not bashing ad networks here, they can be a great source of income if you have a lot of traffic. I’m just saying don’t paint yourself into a corner where you have to rely on one.

I’m also not saying that every site that is using an ad network is gonna get slammed in the next Google update. That’s probably very unlikely. However, it is possible that having a badly optimized site, and also using third-party services that slow your site down could hurt your rankings.

So, with that out of the way, in order to choose a good evergreen niche to blog about, then I recommend only looking at niches that you can also make a decent amount of money from, and also gives you the opportunity to diversify your blog’s monetization.

The 6 Top-Level Evergreen Niches

A top-level evergreen niche is a niche that all other sub-niches (or micro niches) fit into in that category.

Another way to say it is, that it’s an “umbrella niche” that all other sub-niches fit into in that market.

The 6 top-level evergreen niches are:

• Health
• Wealth
• Relationships
• Self-Help
• Technology
• Recreation

This evergreen niche list is the six topics that people will always want information on. Each of these niches also has loads, and loads of sub-niches, which are highly monetizable.

Why Choose a Sub-Niche?

Unfortunately, these niches at the top level are just too competitive for about 99% of people to target directly with a blog.

For example, if you wanted to start a health site that was going to blog about anything and everything to do with health then your competition is going to be powerhouse sites like WebMD, HealthLine, and the MayoClinic.

These sites are multi-million dollar companies that can easily outspend you (if you’re a small-time blogger) on content creation and link building.

It just won’t be possible to compete going head to head with them.

On top of this, the health niche (as well as the finance niche) is known as a YMYL (your money, your life) niche.

Basically, if your content has the potential to directly impact someone’s health or financial circumstances then Google is not going to rank you unless you have a huge amount of authority and credibility in the space.

Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean you can’t start some kind of health blog, though.

If you want to get into the health market in some way then you’ll have to sub-niche down to find something less competitive, and that doesn’t have dire implications on someone’s health.

I will get into a few evergreen sub-niches in each of the 6 categories later in this post.

How To Choose A Good Sub-Niche

I could write quite a long post about choosing a good niche (which I will link to from this section once I’ve written it). But for now, here are a few tips and resources to check if your sub-niche idea does have a growing, or at least steady interest.

Use Google Trends

Google Trends is a great, free tool that you can use to check the past and present popularity of any topic.

Google has collected and sorted a ton of user information based on what people search the internet for. And this info is ready for you to access for free whenever you want.

You can search by topic and then look at the trend lines to see if it’s a niche of increasing or declining interest, and also if it has seasonal activity.

For example, if you see the trend line spiking at points throughout the year then it’s probably a seasonal niche where it gets more interest at certain times of the year.

Here are some examples of seasonal niches:

• Golf
• Camping
• BBQ’s
• Air Conditioning
• Log Burners

These niches will likely make most of their money at key points of the year and could be pretty quiet during the rest of it.

Seasonal niches can be great, but if you want a blog that makes money all year round then don’t pick a seasonal niche.

Answer The Public

Answer The Public is another great tool that you can use for free to see what’s popular online at the moment.

You can use it to find out what questions people are asking and determine if there is a hot trend or a possible emerging market.

If a lot of people have a question about a topic then chances are there’s a problem there that needs solving.

Solving people’s problems is where the money is to be made, either by promoting affiliate products or offering your own.

However, if you’re new to this then I would strongly advise starting off promoting products as an affiliate first, and building an audience before you go to the trouble of making your own products.

This way you can test the market with outer people’s products, and then when it comes time to create your own products you can ask your audience what they actually want first before you go through all the trouble of creating something.

My Extensive List of Evergreen Niches

Now, let’s take a closer look at the top 6 evergreen niches and some sub-niche ideas for each.

Health Niche

The health niche is one of the most popular and profitable niches on the internet, and it contains thousands of smaller sub-niches that you can get into.

Whether you want to start a blog about toe-nail fungus, losing weight, or getting in shape, there’s an absolute ton of opportunity in this space to create a profitable blog around an evergreen topic.

If you’re an affiliate then there are loads of great products you can promote that will pay you well.

If you have some expertise in your chosen sub-niche then there’s also a lot of scopes to create your own products to sell from your blog. These could include eBooks, courses, or even physical products.

Health Sub-Niche Examples List

Here are some ideas for sub-niches in the health space:

• Smoothie recipes
• Natural remedies
• Nootropics
• Adrenal fatigue recovery
• Sleep hacks
• Weight loss solutions
• Calisthenics training
• Dynamic strength training
• Acne treatment
• Anti-aging
• Organic food
• Vegetarian diet
• Yoga

These niches will always be evergreen because there will always be people who need help and information on these topics.

Relationships Niche

The relationship niche is another hugely popular and profitable market. There will always be people who need help with a relationship, whether it’s help and guidance to find Mr or Miss Right, getting an ex back after a breakup, or saving a marriage.

There’s a lot of money to be made helping people solve their relationship problems by recommending some great products created by professional relationship experts that can help them.

However, if you’re going to get into this niche then do your research on the products you promote because there is also a lot of crap out there too.

Relationship Sub-Niche Ideas List

• Female dating advice
• Male dating advice
• Dating site/app review site
• Dating advice for people of a specific religious discipline (ie Christian dating, Jewish dating, etc)
• Dating advice for specific ethnic groups
• Millionaire dating
• Plus size dating
• Gay dating
• Lesbian dating
• Trans dating
• Bi dating
• Polyamorous dating
• Asexual dating
• STD dating

Wealth Niche

Since modern society revolves around money, and most of us need it to live, people will always want information on either how to make, save or invest money.

As you can probably already tell, the wealth niche spans a huge amount of sub-categories. So, whether you want to start a blog that shows people how to build a business online, how to be an expert money-saver, or how to invest the money you have then there are lots of opportunities here.

As I mentioned earlier, certain sub-niches in the wealth category would fall into YMYL. So, if you’re new to blogging and SEO, and if you don’t have the credibility and budget behind you it’d be advisable to steer clear of those niches.

Wealth Sub-Niche Examples

• Starting an online business
• How to build and grow a blog
• Affiliate marketing
• Copywriting
• Make money with online surveys
• Investing
• Forex trading
• Insurance
• How to manage your finances
• Sensible spending
• DIY Accounting and budgeting

Self-Help Niche

Most people have a strong desire to improve themselves in some way. Whether it’s a need to feel more confident in social situations, become more focused and productive, or deepen their spirituality.

If you go to any good bookstore, you will see there are lots of books on all kinds of self-help topics, some of which may surprise you.

If you can help a person evolve in an area of life where they are struggling then they will happily throw money at you to help them get there.

Don’t worry, you don’t need to be the next Wim Hoff, Ben Green, or Tony Robbins to be successful in the self-help space (a.k.a personal development).

You also don’t need to have any official credentials to help people in a lot of sub-niches in the self-help space.

You just need to understand your topic well and be able to help people to get results.

Self-Help Sub-Niche Examples

• How to improve confidence
• Public speaking
• Productivity
• Flow state
• Speed reading
• Speed learning
• Improve memory
• How to be happier
• OCD help
• Anger management
• Anxiety
• Astrology
• Numerology
• Survival
• Martial Arts
• Street combat
• Self-defense
• Dancing
• How to learn a language
• How to plan an instrument – guitar/drums, piano, etc
• Parenting
• Addictions – ie stop smoking, etc

Technology Niche

Whether you like it or not, we live in a technological age with new tech coming out almost every week. Technology is advancing rapidly, and both the general public and businesses need to use a lot of it.

While a lot of sub-niches in the tech space are competitive, there is a huge range of product categories that you can blog about.

Bloggers in this space help people to use, understand and get more out of the tech they promote. And, of course, they will also help you to find the best product for your specific needs.

These bloggers primarily monetize their blog through affiliate links when they review and recommend products in their space.

Some tech bloggers focus on reviewing physical products like cell phones, computers, and TVs, while others blog about software.

There’s lots of money to be made here, especially if you are reviewing software as a service (SaaS). A lot of SaaS companies have high ticket affiliate programs because they have smaller margins.

Also, a lot of SaaS companies that sell their products on a recurring monthly or yearly billing basis also pay recurring affiliate commissions, too. This is a great way to build up a solid, reliable income through affiliate marketing.

Technology Sub-Niche Examples List

• Cell phone reviews
• Laptops and computers
• Marketing software
• Web hosting
• Gadgets
• Gaming
• Android/Apple apps
• Automation tech

Recreation Niche

We all love to chill out and spend time doing things we love. Since people will always have this need, the recreation niche is also an evergreen niche.

While some recreational activities are passing fads, some have and will surely stand the test of time. When it comes to blogging though, now every evergreen recreational activity will be profitable.

For example, golf is a great niche and there’s some good money to be made thereby recommending all the products that a golfer would be interested in. However, I doubt you’d make very much money by ruining a chess blog, although chess is definitely an evergreen game.

With that said, here are some evergreen recreational sub-niches that should also pay you good money.

Recreation Sub-Niche Examples

• How to play guitar
• Golf
• Motoring
• Motorbiking
• Camping
• RV and motor homes
• Boating
• Dog training
• Cycling

Final Thoughts

Generally speaking, most niches will fit into the 6 top-level evergreen niches – health, wealth, relationships, self-help, technology, and recreation.

There is an absolute ton of opportunity out there, and a lot of sub-niches that you can get into to make a lot of money. However, there is no money to be made in every niche.

Since running a blog takes time and often also money, how much income you can generate from the niche needs to be an important part of your vetting process.

It takes a lot of practice to get good at.

Fortunately, it is a skill that we can all learn to get better at with the right help.

Here in this article, I’ve selected 5 copywriting books that are great for bloggers to improve their copywriting skills.

So, regardless if you’re working in or if you want to work in one of the most profitable sub-niches for copywriting, or you just want to learn how to weave some magic words for your own business, then these books are a must.
