At this point where search engines are so refined, it is more important than ever for bloggers to find profitable blogging niches.
And, at the same time, be passionate about the topics in the niche.
If you haven’t read this article about our approach to confidently choose a niche and know it will work, please do so.
Because, the niches below are selected based on those criteria. The number 1 criteria which we avoid totally in this list are niches in the “Your Money Your Life (YMYL)” space. This article explains why.
But generally, new bloggers in the YMYL niches will take a much longer period to find success than those in non-YMYL niches, or worst, they don’t see results at all even with the biggest effort.
That’s why we try to avoid them totally.
Before you scroll down, you may want to download the Niche Selection Spreadsheet that we have prepared for you.
Alright, without further ado, here are the 240 niche and sub-niche ideas that are underserved and do not fall in the category of YMYL.
1. Archery Niche (6 Sub-Niches)
I am surprised that there aren’t many blogs dedicated to just talking about archery.
The trend for archery has been pretty consistent over the past 5 years. Which means there are many people who has interest in archery but no influencers to follow.
I do see many e-commerce stores selling archery gears, but I think there are more to this niche that you can explore.

But, what about for those people who just want to learn welding for passion? Car enthusiast for example.
There aren’t any online courses teaching this. And, there aren’t many welding blogs sharing that information. Maybe people in this niche do not know how to monetize the blog.
With the right knowledge, you can.

It is rather a visual niche because it is hard to blog about the techniques and styles unless you show it to your audience.
But, at certain point, a blog is more useful because most people will start their search on Google for advice before moving to other sources.
So, if you intend to get into this niche, I recommend to work with both a blog and a YouTube channel.

But seriously, this is an underserved niche. Many people may create food blogs, but they are mostly about recipes, cafe hopping, home-cook food, etc.

There is a high demand for information in this niche, but there aren’t many credible people who can give quality advice.

Because, there isn’t much affiliate products you can promote, and that’s why monetizing with Ad revenue is the best way.
Nonetheless, it is an underserved niche that has lot of interest around it.

The farming niche is a rather broad niche with many sub-niches and interests.
As I’ve checked, there are many e-commerce stores, but very little blogs around this niche. Just do not fall into the trap of creating a blog around farming tools, but more about actual farming experiences.
