Think blogging is dead? Think again! But generic blogs? Yeah, kinda dusty. Profitable blogs in small niches? Thriving! Focus on a tiny, passionate audience, become the authority in that micro-niche, and watch your blog become a cash cow (a very specific breed of cash cow, of course).
Micro-niche ideas? “Guide to Vintage Typewriter Repair,” “Tips for Raising Miniature Dachshunds in Apartments,” “Best Hiking Trails in [Tiny Geographic Region].” Get ridiculously specific! Keyword research is hyper-focused – target long-tail keywords your niche audience actually searches for. Content is king (and queen, and the whole royal court) – provide in-depth, valuable, and hyper-relevant content.
Monetize with affiliate marketing (ultra-niche products!), display ads (targeted ads perform well), or sell niche-specific digital products. Small niche blogging: Think small audience, big authority, even bigger profits (relatively speaking, but still awesome!).
