Choosing a Blog niche is one of the hardest decisions you’ll ever make, right after “Should we have a baby?” and “Should we get a cat or a dog?”
In all seriousness though, starting a blog is a piece of cake. But choosing the niche to blog in can be a little bit of a head-scratcher.
Am I stuck for ideas or is it just dandruff? You’ll never know…
You probably have a million ideas in your head. You’re super excited and want to start typing away to glory. But you don’t know how to go about it or what blog topic to pursue.
You must be thinking… “Angela, I have so many interests. How can I just blog about 1 topic or 1 niche? That sounds so boring!”
Well, I’m here to tell you otherwise.
Now if you don’t have a blog or are thinking of starting one, I have a step-by-step guide here on starting a money-making blog that will help! Or you can take my free 7-day course on starting a blog that makes money from day 1!
This post includes affiliate links to products I truly (from the bottom of my heart) recommend, meaning at no extra cost to you, I may earn a small percentage which I will use to feed my poor, hungry dogs.
Before I get into the nitty-gritty of blog niches, let’s answer the most basic question.
What exactly is a Blog Niche?
A blog niche basically means that every post you write in your blog will specifically cater to one type of audience or niche. Meaning you will be blogging about 1 specific topic.
But is having a blog niche really necessary?
I’m a die-hard fan of post-it notes.
Why do you need a blog niche?
When I started my first Blog, I thought meh… let me blog about everything.
I blogged about creativity, food, art, adventure… basically anything that sounded interesting.
And this is exactly why I made 0 money.
Zip. Zilch. Nada.
I couldn’t understand why my blog was failing.
My content was really long, extremely educational, and engaging. So what was the damn problem?
Well, I’ll tell you.
People who loved my recipe posts saw that I was blogging about adventure and creativity and didn’t really get much out of it so they left.
Likewise, people who were searching for creative posts didn’t really understand the point of my food posts, and vamoosed.
Instead of focusing on my target audience, I wrote for me. So, no one was interested.
That’s the harsh truth about blogging.
Plain and simple.
So, back to the question… why do bloggers need a blog niche?
1. Having a blog niche helps you grow faster.
I can speak from experience because I have an Instagram Account that specifically caters to people who love hair.
That’s right.
Hair.
I only produce hair comics.
By constantly posting content that’s in one niche, you become an expert. I focused on only hair comics on my Instagram and I was able to cross 180K followers in 6 months!
This means that if anyone is looking for hair related comedy, they will directly hop on over to my Page.
And if they ever see anything related to hair comedy, they will think of me.
You need to aim to stand out in your niche.
Which brings me to my next point…
2. It’s easy to become an expert when you’re blogging about 1 specific niche.
Think of 5 famous people right now.
- Obama – President
- Justin Bieber – Singer
- Jim Carrey – Actor
Now, did you know that Jim Carrey is also a Comedian, Writer and Artist?
Yes, he paints!
This is one of his popular works!
Image Source – Jim Carrey’s Paintings
See?
But people don’t really remember all that. We love associating everything to just 1 thing. It’s easier for the brain to process.
This is why you want to aim to be known for 1 thing.
It’s easy to become known as a Flower Expert (that actually sounds way too cool) when you have 30 posts on flowers, rather than 6 posts on flowers, 15 on food and 12 on cars.
Yes, in real life I have a bad allergy to pollen.
3. It becomes super easy to think of blog post ideas.
When you don’t have a niche, thinking of blog post ideas can become overwhelming.
Contrary to what it sounds like, having a single blog niche helps you come up with more blog post ideas.
Creating a Blog Content Plan becomes extremely doable.
For instance, since I blog about Blogging and Online Business, I focus on one topic for 6 months before moving to the next. You can see my post on writing a solid business plan to understand what I mean.
For the first few months, I talked about blog Traffic and SEO. Now, I’m slowly going to move to side hustles and making money.
This is the best part of Blogging!
Your Blog becomes a never-ending book that you can keep adding chapters to.
It’s really fun to go through your blog archive and see how much you’ve grown!
4. It becomes extremely easy to monetize.
This is a no-brainer.
Once you narrow down to blogging in a single niche, monetizing your blog becomes a piece of cake.
Think about it! Consider the following examples:
- It is way easier to sell recipe eBooks when you’re blogging only about food.
- Or monetize your Blog with health related ads when your Blog is only about Health and Personal Growth.
- Likewise, if your blog is about graphic designing and website building, it will become super easy for you to gain clients who want websites and graphic designing.
So, now that we understand why having a blog niche is important, let’s move on learning how we should choose one.
How to choose your Blog Niche?
It’s easy to blog about what you’re passionate about. In fact, a lot of Bloggers suggest that we do this.
But I’m going to stop you right now and say no!
Remember how I went about it with my first blog and failed?
No one really wanted to read about becoming creative, because people who were already creative wanted to learn how to use their creativity to make things.
I wasn’t really targeting a problem faced worldwide.
This made monetizing very difficult.
Now, I’m not saying that you shouldn’t blog about what you’re passionate about. I’m just telling you that it will be really hard to make it work and monetize your Blog.
If you really want to make money blogging, you require to choose a niche that is already proven to be profitable.
Basically, there are only 3 questions you need to ask yourself when choosing a blog niche.
1. Are you solving a problem that is faced worldwide?
Every time you read a blog post, ask yourself why you’re doing it.
Most of the time you’re reading a post in order to become better at something!
Note the last 5 questions you’ve entered in Google Search. If we consider a few questions that people type in Google, they’ll be something like this.
- How do I lose weight?
- How to put a baby to sleep?
- What do I do to become more healthy and fit?
- How can I tell if I’ve burnt my cake?
- Different ways to earn money online?
You’ll notice a general pattern in this list. People look up questions that will help them become better versions of themselves.
Basically, your Blog niche has to solve a major problem being faced worldwide.
Once you are able to narrow down on a niche that does that, you can move on to the next question.
2. Do you have any skills that can help you with your blog?
For instance, I love to draw. And I have successfully incorporated both my skills – drawing and writing into this blog. It works! Really think about what skills and strengths you possess that can help you move your blog further along.
One of my friends has an incredible fashion sense. She used to post photos on Instagram that would wow anybody that came onto her page.
I encouraged her to start a blog because I knew she’d be a roaring success.

3. Have others successfully monetized this blog niche?
List out all the monetization possibilities of this niche.
For instance, if you decide to blog about beauty… how are you going to monetize it? Brand Collaborations? Reviews? Ads?
Make a list.
If you’re not sure, look at other blogs in the same niche, and see how they’re earning an income.
This will help you understand if the niche you’ve selected is right for you.
Like I said before, it’s extremely unwise to try and be original or unique when choosing a blog niche. It’s better to test the waters first.
Find out if there are popular blogs in the niche you’ve chosen. And whether they’re making a good income each month.
The easiest way to do that is to hop onto Google and type “best food blogs” if you want to start a blog on food.
Don’t just peek at the lists. Visit the blogs in each list and see how popular they are. Note the methods of monetization they’re using and note their most popular content.
You can do this using Ubersuggest.
See if it’s doable.
Now that you understand what criteria your blog niche has to fulfil, let’s move on to the most successful and popular blog niches that make money.
Which Blog Niches are most profitable?
1. Food Blogs
No questions asked.
Food Blogs do very well.
Because almost everyone has googled a recipe at some point in their lives. These type of Blogs are notorious for gaining traffic.
However, I will have to add that people find it very difficult to monetize by selling eBooks because most people are looking for “free recipes.”
Unless they’re really interested in cooking or replicating complicated dishes, they won’t be too keen on investing in eBooks.
This doesn’t mean that you can’t monetize these blogs. It just means that you have to use monetization techniques like ads and affiliate marketing to make money via Food Blogs.
Consider Bakerellla.
In the following recipe, she casually mentions a cookie cutter. Now if you head over to the link and make a purchase, she’ll get the commission.
Generating traffic is really easy when you have a food blog.
A few posts to help you gain traffic:
If you’re writing a recipe for an Apple Pie, you can link to a recipe on your Blog which has instructions on making the crust from scratch.
Therefore, anyone wanting to make a pie without using store-bought dough will hop onto the link, thus earning you 2 page views and more ad revenue.
Likewise, you can also link to recipes of cherry pie, key lime pie, pumpkin pie etc. The more internal links you incorporate, the easier it will be to gain traffic because no one ever stops at one recipe.
Food Blogs also make great money by teaching online courses. I have a friend who took an online cake decorating course and she started her own Bakery after that!
She’s doing really well right now!
Speaking of online classes, I have a special Coupon from Skillshare itself that you can take to access the free trial of Skillshare’s premium membership for free!
2. Personal Finance Blogs
Everybody wants to learn how to earn or save money easily.
And this is by far the most successful niche you’ll be getting into.
Because Personal Finance blogs teach you how to earn money by implementing really easy side hustles. They also teach you how to create a budget and live frugally.
One of my favourite Personal Finance blogs belongs to a good friend of mine – Saranya who owns One Fine Wallet.
Personal Finance blogs mostly earn their revenue via affiliate marketing and ads. Similar to how Food Blogs earn their money.
Aside from these monetization techniques, Personal Finance blogs can also make money via online courses that teach people how to create budgets and invest money in different schemes etc.
3. Making Money Online Blogs
Okay so almost everyone hops into this niche. Including Yours Truly.
Let’s face it.
There are 152 Million Blogs. And a new blog post is published every 0.5 seconds.
So, you can rest assured that blogging isn’t going to go out of style any time soon.
The problem is, that this niche is incredibly saturated because everyone wants to start a “How to start a blog” blog.
Because it makes a lot of money.
But please heed my advice. Unless you’ve already established an Online Business before and have experience making money online, it’s a bad idea to start a Blog on “blogging.”
I’ll tell you why.
People can smell bullshit a mile away.
And if you start pretending to be an expert on Blogging with zero proof and experience, it will show. And once people find out, they’re going to stay the hell away from your Business.
I smell a fraudy fraudster.
You don’t want this.
You need to build credibility if you’re stepping into this niche.
Before starting this Blog, I’ve:
- Sold my services as a Graphic Designer and Web Designer
- Created whole new Brand Identities for Companies
- Owned a Blog on Creativity
- Sold my digital art on Etsy
- Sold Online Courses
- Done Online Consultations
- Created Illustrated Portraits for Clients
- Worked on huge Illustrative Projects for Companies like Dove, Himalaya, etc.
I have built Online Businesses from scratch and and with all this experience under my belt, did I make the decision to start a Blog on Blogging and Online Businesses.
Now, if you’re starting a blog on Blogging and Online Business but don’t have much experience, share your most recent experience. That’s perfectly fine! And
Document your research as a Blogger and share your most recent achievements!
For instance, you can talk about how much you earned the previous month and what techniques you’re currently using.
If you are extremely honest then, this niche will definitely work for you.
Teaching people to build blogs and online businesses is extremely profitable. You can monetize this niche by selling your own digital products like eBooks or eCourses.
If you’re not keen on creating your own products, then you can become an Affiliate for similar products you love and get started on those.
You are more than welcome to become an Affiliate of Stray Curls here.
4. Health Blogs
People really value their health.
And even I hit Google every time I run into a suspicious mole.
Health can be an extremely broad niche. But you can definitely narrow it down further if you’re looking to target a specific audience.
You can target just people with Diabetes or just deal with skincare.
The more specific your Health niche is, the easier it becomes to sell and/or endorse products.
In this niche, the easiest way to monetize is ads and affiliate marketing.
Aside from talking about physical health, there are lots of blogs who choose to focus on mental health and self care and personal growth.
And along with ads and affiliate marketing, these type of Blogs sell eCourses and/or printables to boost a person’s overall well being.
Speaking of which, if you’re interested in boosting your self-care, I have a lovely self-care planner you can get right here!
For instance, Sam Laura Brown started her own self-improvement blog. She also has her own podcast.
Sam earns an income by selling eCourses on self-improvement and personal growth. She even offers 1-1 coaching for women who want to reach their whole potential.
5. Fitness Blogs
This niche is very similar to Health but it’s aimed toward people who want to live a healthy life and become fit.
Fitness Blogs will never go out of fashion because there will always be people who are looking to build strength and become fitter and leaner.
In this niche, you can talk about diets, food, exercises and different habits that will keep you fit. A client that I worked for recently has a blog on fitness.
She provides private coaching for people who want to become fit and healthy.
This is a great way to fuse services with your Blog. And offering online services is one of the best ways to make money online.
Apart from offering services, you can also create a membership platform where you share information to a group of subscribers for a monthly or annual fee.
6. Beauty and Fashion Blogs
Most Beauty and Fashion Influences start Instagram Profiles and YouTube Channels because it gains more traction.
However, please note that these Social Media can change their algorithms any time and/or suspend your accounts for no fault of your own. You can lose all your subscribers in a second and you will have no way to contact them.
I was one of their victims so I highly suggest that you start a blog in order to avoid losing everything.
Besides, once you start an email list, it will be really easy to keep in touch with your subscribers.
Beauty Blogs get a lot of endorsements and products for free. Most of the time, they will give you the product and pay you so that you can review it on your Blog.
Overall, if you’re a beauty or fashion enthusiast, this is definitely the field for you.
Aside from a good camera and a laptop with basic editing software, you don’t really require many tools.
7. Other Lifestyle Blogs
There are loads of other Blog niches that make great money. These include:
- DIY Blogs
- Travel Blogs (like this one)
- Pet Blogs (Here are a list of the best dog affiliate programs)
- Parenting Blogs
- Decor and Home Making Blogs
- Art blogs
- Christian Lifestyle blogs
However, there are a few blogs that make money by not really having a niche. A good example includes Gathering Dreams.
This website blogs about food, travel and money. And it works!
Lifestyle Blogs mostly make money via ads. Because they blog about a lot of blog topics, they get a lot of traffic pretty quickly.
So, if you can pump out 3-5 high-quality articles every single day, you can start a lifestyle Blog. However, I would recommend using this idea as a backup because it’s not easy to grow and requires a lot of time to maintain.
Here are a few posts that will help you maximize your productivity if you’re working from home:
- 27 Hacks to be an Ultra Productive Blogger
- How to Plan Your Blog Content for a Whole Year and Crush it!
- The Badass Guide to Blogging more Consistently
- What to do when you Want to Quit Blogging
Final Thoughts
If you’re still not sure about what niche you should choose, start broad and slowly narrow it down. You can take my free 7 day email course to start a blog that makes money from day 1!
I started blogging about creativity and blogging before narrowing down to blogging and online businesses because I wasn’t quite sure on which direction I wanted my blog to go.
Therefore, whatever niche you choose, make sure that there are plenty of monetization opportunities. Also, do lots of research to find out if it’s a profitable niche.
Once you’re done with both, come up with at least 5-10 Blog Categories that your reader must become an expert in, to master the blog topic.
For instance, mine are:
Taking these 2 steps will make earning money via your blog really easy!
Before you go, make sure you grab your free profitable niche workbook so that you can find your perfect blog niche!
Now that you have a good idea on choosing blog niches that make money, let me know what niche you’re going to choose or have already chosen! I’d love to know.

Another awesome post, thank you Angela. I became a fan of your articles, they are very helpful, easy to read and of course great illustrations.
Keep posting
Hey Brenda,
Thank you so much! Hope this post helped you discover your own niche. 😀
Love,

Hey Angela,
Thank you so much for sharing such helpful guide.
You’re awesome!
Keep spreading the knowledge!
Hey!
So nice to hear from you! Thank you so much. You’re too kind.
How’s your Business doing? I’m really digging your pins!
Warm regards,
Angela
It’s growing slowly, but I’m hustling hard!
Thanks for asking!
Thank you so much!
Ahh, that is the world of a Blogger, my friend!
Do keep in touch!
Thank you mam for your information and ideas i Appericiate you for your blog ….thanku mam from india??
You’re most welcome! 🙂 And please, call me Ang or Angela.
awesome post. really informative. thank you for this post.
do you consider story telling a good niche?
Hey Baba,
I wouldn’t know. I have never pursued it till now. If you can find at least 3 people in the same niche who are successfulthen I’m sure you can possibly make it work!
Picking a niche is very important. I remember choosing a very wrong niche and it caused me two years of pain. I learned that blogging niche is passion + Skill + Audience Problems… It is really important to choose a niche that allows one to be themselves
Hey Ola,
I strongly agree with you. Too many people pick a niche mainly for monetary benefit. It’s important to be passionate about it too! 🙂 That’s the best way to grow.
Hugs,
Angela
Hey Angela! I became a big fan of your blogs and ofcourse illustrations too .I am thinking to start a online marketing blog in different niches.What do you think ?
Hey Ashima,
You can start a blog in any niche, provided it’s profitable. This is your blog, and you have to make that decision. If you want to make money blogging and fast, pick a niche from what I’ve listed about.
I wish you all the best!
Angela
I definitely agree that the “make money online” niche is over-saturated. I write personal finance and I’ve definitely dipped into the “how to make money doing XYZ” area of things.
It’s so important to niche down sooner than later. I speak to a lot of new bloggers and those that are unable to niche down generally have the toughest time maintaining traffic.
Hey Bo,
No doubt about it. Personal finance is currently rocking the online world so keep doing what you’re doing! And yes, currently it’s really hard to grow traffic but I’m sure we’ll be able to overcome this.
Awesome post. It is useful for bloggers in many ways esp for choosing a profitable niche.
Thank you for this. And never give up.
Thank you Rupam! You’re too kind. 🙂 I ain’t ever giving this up hon.
Hi Angela. That was a great article. I want to have a blog, too and I just subscribed to receiving your emails. I had a quick question 🙂
How do you draw these beautiful illustrations? I really enjoy them.
Hey Asiye,
Thank you so much! I use an iPad and an Apple Pencil currently. If you have Adobe Illustrator, I have an online course that teaches how to make these in my shop. Or you could take a free trial of skillshare and watch all the classes you want in the next 60 days!

Lots of love,
Angela
Hi Angela,
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I really love the value you put in every post you make.
As a fine artist who transitioned to digital illustration, I am planning to create a blog to gain audience for my future stationery business. But after reading this post, I think I really have to make a sub niche to cater to.
More power to your passion!
Ricky
Hey Ricky,
Graphic Design Blogs are very powerful. Illustration blogs are hard to monetize. Unless of course you have an online course. 🙂 But Stationery Blogs do very well! Especially Planners and Stickers. The margins are huge!
I wish you all the best!
Angela
Hey Angela,
Very informative post.I am also thinking of starting my blog and have signed up for your online course
Thanks for helping out the likes of us.
Love,
Arti
Hey Arti,
I’m super glad you’re starting a blog. I hope you love the course! Let me know if you have any questions! I’d love to help!
Lots of love,
Ang
Hello mam , too much happy to see such type of informative and coordinative article. Fst time I am seeing this type of article and I want to make blog on health niche …I really want ur help
Health blogs are definitely extremely popular! You should start one. Best of luck!
I’m always here to help,
Ang
Your post is great idea for me. Btw, realigion is good niche too for blog?
It is but it will definitely be a challenge growing your blog and monetizing it.
Warm regards,
Ang
Hello, Angela! Thank you for the useful advice!
I have a question about using digital art as a niche for a blog.
I notice a lot of “digital artists’ blogs” aren’t getting a lot of traffic, even when they are recommended in the “top digital art blogs” in the search results. But then it could also be that those artists didnt put much effort into designing the blog (the interface looks pretty under-polished).
Do you think digital art/ illustration is not a good niche?
Hey Cherry,
First of all, I love your Blog. It’s lovely. But before you create a blog, always define your target audience. And draw a customer roadmap.
https://straycurls.com/target-audience/
Meaning, you need to know whom you’re blogging for. Once you identify that, see how you can provide value. Are these people willing to purchase products?
For instance, if you’re teaching people to draw, why will they purchase already created art? They may want to purchase drawing books or templates that will help them become better artists! 🙂
Take Lisa Glanz. She creates graphics for people who are creating visual material to use. That’s how she sells her stuff.
Another thing you need to realize is that traffic isn’t everything. High converting traffic is. I know people who get 60K pageviews a month and don’t even earn $100. But there are people who get half those pageviews and make a full-time income from their blog lik $3-5K a month.
So, don’t just look at numbers. See the intent.
I feel digital art and illustration is a good niche. But you need to do research on how you can monetize it.
Let me know if you have any more questions, I’ll help!
Ang
I can see why this post came up number on in my search. You answered my questions clearly! Thank you!.
I’m super glad Tanielle! That’s wonderful to know. What niche did you end up choosing? 🙂
HI Angela…very nicely suggested. I am in the middle of a content writing course where selecting a niche was extensively discussed. And was searching on the same topic and your post came up. Will now read up all your posts.
Hey Shilpa! 🙂
Oh! Which writing course are you in? Will love to see it! And thank you so much. I think you’re going to love it here on Stray Curls!
Your blog is awesome. I own a homemaking blog, I read through the entire post to know your take on it. 🙁
As you said, I have been writing about things that interest me. Do you have any suggestions on writing for an audience in this niche?
Hey Nila,
I don’t have experience with a home-making blog. The best advice I can give you is to look at your niche and see who’s in the same niche. See what they’re blogging about. Who they are attracting. Your goal should be to attract a specific audience, that way they will purchase your affiliate products and be interested in your eCourses.
Lots of love,
Angela
Hey, you have a great blog, love it! How could you write such a detailed article? It’s really a great resource to choose a niche and make money at home. Thanks for your content, I’m sharing it on my social network.
Thank you so much Nirmala! 🙂 So sweet of you. I really take a lot of time to write my blog posts. Sometimes 2-4 weeks just to write 1 blog post. It’s totally worth the effort. 🙂 I explain it all in this post:
https://straycurls.com/viral-blog-post/
Its really good that are spending 2 – 4 weeks for 1 blog post, great job! I’ll check the article that you have shared!
Yes, totally worth it because it gets me sustained traffic. 🙂
Very helpful, thanks
You’re most welcome.
Hi Angela,
thank you for the support and the knowledge. The article does give some information I need still, it is hard to decide the storyline after choosing the blog niche since I tend to overthink everything including the budget for every content and how I don’t want to waste money to do some DIY but after that I don’t use it and it becomes junk and harming the environment.
I do like writing story and make song story but I’m not good at illustration. Hope after reading your blog post further I will find a better blog niche and overcome my overthinking by solving it with the help of your blog.
Hey Aya,
It can take some time to narrow down your niche. But once you are in, focus on building your authority by sticking to your niche and blogging consistently. You can always choose a niche and slowly narrow down later. And you don’t need to throw out your DIY, you can always sell it or donate it to charity. Somewhere, where people will find use for it. 🙂
Lots of love,
Angela
Hey Angela,
Simply Wow. I have become big fan of your blogs.
Would love to follow from here onwards. You are too good. Thanks for guiding me.
Welcome onboard the Stray Curls ship! 🙂 Super glad that you’re enjoying my posts!
Let me know if there is anything I can help with.
Ang
Very nice article, thanks for sharing a valuable information with us.
I am visiting your website for first time, but your content is amazing and now i am your a new user.
Thanks
You are most welcome Yogesh! 🙂 Always happy to help!
Sure Angela.
Amazing post Angela.
I am a big fan of your blog post images.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much Abhishek! You are very kind. 🙂
Hey, Angela!
The post was really informative you are also very creative!
Do you consider the Sex & Healthcare niche profitable? Can you share some tips on how to monetize it?
Thank you so much
Of course Punam! Health and Sex is an extremely profitable niche. And the best way to monetize that niche is via ads and affiliate companies. You will have a hard time competing with Healthline and Flo, but you can definitely manage if you’re writing lots of posts. Once your reach $1K monthly, you can go in for courses and consultations.
I hope this helps!
Hi Angela,
This Blog post is really very valuable,i was so confused but after reading this am totally cleared about how blogging works.
now i only get stuck at my niche , i do not really know that which niche is for me to blog on..
Hey Shubham,
You can start blogging on 2-3 topics and slowly narrow down your niche based on which content gains traction and which content you’re having more fun writing. 🙂 That should help you find a nice niche for your blog!
Warm regards,
Ang
Awesome article!!! It looks great with illustrations and explanations of how anyone can start a blog on any niche.I am really amazed with the content and I also own a blog which requires lot of modifications but these type of articles really helps a beginner like me Thank you
You’re most welcome!
Hi Angela,
I’m having a confusion regarding something. Could you help me out of it?
If I wish to share fiction stories on my blog, how can I do that? I mean, it’s easy to write and publish but how to make them seo optimized beause they are not like typical blogposts with subheads and all… or they don’t need to be optimized at all? And of course there will be a blog section where I will publish regular blog posts but I’m having confusions with storytelling only.
Thanks & regards
Hello Piyali,
If you want to write fiction stories, you cannot write it on your blog because there is no way of directing traffic to it unless you’re an already famous author. Write on a platform that has an audience already like Wattpad or Medium.
I hope this helps!
Thank you for sharing your post about An Easy Guide on Choosing the Most Profitable Blog Niche. Great information to know. Nice illustrations also. I will definitely bookmark this site for reference.
You are most welcome Richard! 🙂
Hi Angela,
i loved your business plan. I want to write inspirational blog about individuals with disability and their talents in music, art and sports. I’m not looking to make money if i do it is great but, my main goal is to promote the ability of those special children.
I think that’s a very noble and sweet goal to have Anni. Drafting a business plan in December is a good idea because you can make sure your 2021 will be super organized.
Nice blog
Thank you Riya. ☺️
A bit confused everyone also you have told to start a blog on finance, on the other hand what about YMYL category. Is it a good start without having authority on finance.
Hey Tarun,
If you have no experience with finance or accounting, it’s unwise to start a blog in that category. It’s okay to document your growth and state that it is your opinion, but that must be made very clear!
I hope this helps,
Angela
Another great post Angela! I should have a blog for people who can’t decide on a niche 😂 I currently have a lifestyle blog right now where I talk about everything from education, relationship, self-care and you’re right, it definitely confuses my audience. But I’m interested in so many different topics I truly don’t want to niche down right now.
Hey My,
I know it’s very tempting to keep things broad. Take it from me (a person who found it very hard to narrow down her niche), narrow down your niche. You will get pageviews, but your conversions will be less. Really less.
It is important to focus on 1 type of audience. They will eat up everything you say because your content will relate to them 100%. Even if you are choosing to blog about 3 topics, they should be related. Self-care and relationships are related. But education is a little bit of a stretch. Take some time to figure out your niche. But niche down.
Lots of love,
Angela
Hi Angela,
I thoroughly enjoyed your blog! Great work!
I loved the easy going language used by you too with lots of fun pics! Completely original.
I’m planning to start my own blog on gifting, and monetize it using Amazon’s affiliate marketing platform. Do you think it is a wise decision ?
Hey Fiona,
Thank you! This depends on the niche you choose. Amazon Affiliates is a great way to start! But in the future, you can apply to loads of other affiliate programs. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Warm regards,

This was really helpful. I wanted to create a blog and I`m procrastinating for about 1 year by now. The first idea I had was to use illustrations in my blog as well, I didn`t even know this was possible and interesting. I was totally lost.
I don`t know exactly the name for my niche, but I think it is related to self improvement as I`m interested on non-fiction book and apply to my life. I also like to suggest my friends with those interesting (at least for me) contents I`ve learned about.
Ok, perhaps I`m with the wrong circle of friends because it seems any one has the same interests as myself.
To sum up, I really enjoy your blog and I hope I find my own path.
Wish you the best!
Hey Babi,
When I started using illustrations in my blog, it was completely new. I didn’t even know it would work. It was just a fun experiment but I truly enjoy creating so much, so it worked out for the best. 🙂
Personal development is a good niche, I think you should go for it!
Warm regards,
Angela
