If you think you can only make money online by teaching others how to make money online, this post is for you.

There are people out there are making so much money in so many crazy niches that it’s unbelievable nobody even talks about them.

At NicheHacks, of course, we’ve already revealed more than 1781 profitable niches that you can start working on right now.

But here’s more good stuff for you.

If you haven’t heard of Flippa, it’s the world’s biggest platform for buying and selling blogs, websites and online businesses.

People start blogs in weird niches, publish content, attract traffic and once their sites start generating income, they list them on Flippa and sell them off for a hefty amount.

Every website listing on Flippa has tons of information about how the site makes money, where it gets traffic from and how the overall business works.

It’s a goldmine for finding new and profitable niches.

And I’ve dived deep into it to find 45 websites in weird niches that recently sold on Flippa for thousands of dollars.

These are real eye-openers.

Go ahead and see each site yourself.
