The Most Profitable Blog Niche – 15 Hot Topics For 2023

No matter what your passion is, there’s usually a way to make money from it. And I’m here to help you find the most profitable blog niche out there.

I’ve compiled a list of 15 of the most lucrative niches for you to choose from, based on a variety of factors like audience size, cost-per-click (CPC) opportunities, and potential for monetization…which we’ll cover in just a minute. So whether you’re looking to become a full-time blogger or just want to make some extra cash on the side, here are 15 profitable blog niches to consider!

First, Determine Your Audience Size and Cost-Per-Click (CPC) Opportunities Through Keyword Research

For the sake of this blog post, I’m using Google’s FREE Keyword Planner tool to show you the potential for each of the 15 niche opportunities we are about to cover when it comes down to your audience size and CPC opportunities.

If need to know how to do keyword research…particularly how to download Google’s free keyword planner tool, I wrote a separate post about that here.

For example, let’s look at the niche, Business Marketing. First, I want to point out 3 key things…

Average Monthly Searches

This is the average number of times people have searched for the keyword phrase “business marketing“. As you can see, the search volume for this niche is high averaging 10,000 to 100,000 searches per month.

Competition

The competition bar lets you know how competitive it is to rank and receive a top position on the first page of Google for the keyword “business marketing”.

As you can see, the competition is considered low.

Top of Page Bid

Top-of-page bid (TOPB) is an estimate as to what an advertiser needs to pay to appear at the top of search engine results for a given keyword. It is an important metric for businesses using Google Ads, allowing them to assess the effectiveness of their campaigns, and adjust strategies accordingly.

You can also think of this as the minimum cost-per-click advertisers pay when their ads appear at the top of the search engine result pages. This cost only applies if their ad copy gets enough impressions, clicks, and conversions to meet Google’s specified performance thresholds.

As a website owner, this is a super important metric to consider only IF you are considering marketing your website or blog via Google’s paid ads.

So you may be wondering what IS the most profitable blog niche.

Let’s dive into that next while using Google’s Keyword Planner as a tool to determine the popularity of each. Without further ado, here are 15 of the HOTTEST topics to consider.

15 Of The Most Profitable Blog Niches

Blogging

As I’m writing this post about “blogging”, this is a hot topic of conversation and a wonderful niche people are eager to learn about. Not many bloggers I’ve come across ever talk about this topic…telling their readers to start a blog about the topic of “how to blog“! But if you think about it, when you land on a blog and the blogger is sharing with you “how to blog” or “how to start a blog”…well they are writing that post for a reason. One, to hopefully truly help you! And two, because it’s a GREAT niche to talk and teach about!

Now I wouldn’t recommend starting a blog about “how to blog” if you have never had any experience or achieved success…that wouldn’t be honest or the right thing to do. BUT over time when you learn the world of blogging and know how to be a successful blogger, well then, this niche may be worth pursuing!
