Niche Analysis Questions
What makes a niche profitable?
Profitable niches have: sufficient search volume (5K+/month), manageable competition, multiple monetization methods (ads + affiliate + products), high RPM ($15+), and evergreen demand. The best niches serve passionate audiences with purchasing intent.
What is a good RPM for a niche?
Finance niches average $25-50 RPM. Tech and health $12-35 RPM. Lifestyle and food $8-22 RPM. Education $5-15 RPM. General niches $5-15 RPM. Premium ad networks like Mediavine and Raptive typically pay 2-3x more than AdSense.
How do I find low-competition niches?
Look for: underserved sub-niches of larger categories, topics where top-ranking pages have low domain authority (DA<30), niches with outdated content on page 1, and topics where user forums rank highly (signal of weak authoritative content).
Should I pick a niche based on RPM alone?
No. While high RPM is attractive, also consider: your expertise and interest in the topic, content creation sustainability (can you write 100+ articles?), competition strength, and long-term trends. A $12 RPM niche you can dominate is better than a $40 RPM niche you cannot compete in.
