I’ve personally started nearly a dozen Niche websites over the years and currently run 5 websites across different niches. I also teach others how to start, grow, and monetize niche websites and have helped nearly 1,000 people start new niche sites.

Surprisingly, with all of this experience in the field, I still haven’t written a post about this on the blog or written a guest post on another blog about it! So here it goes. Here’s a list of 101 niche site ideas that can earn money in 2023.

What is a Niche Website?

A niche website is any site or blog that caters to a specific audience or focuses on a specific topic. It can be about any topic including travel, health, technology, cooking, the outdoors, or even more obscure niches. What makes a website a “niche website” is the specificity and focus on the exact topic it covers.

The difference between a niche site and an authority site is that typically niche sites are smaller and are heavily content-focused, while an authority site is more brand-focused.

While some bloggers create a distinction between a “niche site” and an “authority site” I believe that all websites should be built with the authority site mentality, meaning you will create a brand around the website and make it as useful as possible so your readers will keep returning.

I know, 101 is a lot of niche website ideas, but as someone who has started many niche websites, I know the importance of starting a niche site about something you’re passionate about. It’s one of the many reasons why starting a blog is a great idea.

I hope that by listing 101 niche site ideas, you’ll have a better chance of getting inspired by the list to start a website or blog around your passion.

This is a fast-growing industry that has plenty of excellent affiliate programs, lots of pricey gear to sell, and plenty of opportunities for monetization and audience growth through online courses, sharing of techniques, and inspiring photo and video content.

11. Hiking and Backpacking

We’ve always considered starting a site that focuses more on hiking, trekking, and backpacking specifically. I would say for this particular topic, the niche is already pretty saturated.

I would consider “niching this down” and making it more focused by keeping it to a specific country, province, state, or even city.

For example a website about hiking in Boulder Colorado, or taking it even further and making it a site about hiking unmarked mountain trails in Boulder Colorado.

Hiking and Backpacking Website Name Ideas

1. Summit Seeker
2. Trail Treader
3. Trekker’s Trailhead
4. Peak Pursuit
5. Backpacker’s Bliss

12. Camping and RV Living

We almost jumped on the van life bandwagon during the lockdowns. We rented our own campervan, made some videos and thought about what a fun niche this would be to have a website about.

For this one, perhaps more than any other on this list, you’ll have to be original. Simply making a van life blog is not going to cut it. I would narrow it down to van life in a specific state, like Van Life Wyoming, a budget level, like Luxury Van Life or Budget Van Life, or a pets and van life or family and van life niche.

You’ll need to carve out a niche within this niche for sure as it’s so saturated now.

13. Kayaking and Canoeing

14. Rock Climbing

I’m guessing that if you’re the kind of person who can handle the stress of hanging from the side of a cliff by a rope, then you’ll probably be able to handle the ups and downs of being a blog entrepreneur.

Luckily this is a growing niche worldwide and it has plenty of great products to monetize with through direct sales and affiliates, as well as an online e-course market that’s ripe for the taking.

15. Birdwatching

While we’ve never joined a tour or went to a destination specifically for birdwatching, we’ve been on many experiences that included some birdwatching and with it, came a few official “bird watchers” who came along.

I have to say from meeting birdwatchers in person and having a few friends who enjoy this hobby, it’s a pastime that people can get pretty passionate about.

The blog almost writes itself with one section being a detailed encyclopedia of species, with another section dedicated to birdwatching gear, and finally, another section about the best bird watching destinations around the world.

Just be sure to disclose if you’re working with a sponsor for a review and let the sponsor know that your opinions will always be genuine regardless of any payment of gear offered.
• Birdwatching ebooks and guides: Curate a list of recommended books and guides for birdwatchers, and generate income through affiliate marketing. Or you could create your own ebook that includes the best birdwatching gear, destinations, and must-find species.

16. Hunting

I just recently went hunting for the first time in my life with my older brother and there are a couple of things I learned.

First, hunters are extremely passionate about the sport and there is a serious hunting community online. And secondly, there’s almost a never ending amount of learning involved within this niche, which is great for creating a super useful and in-depth website.

On top of that, the monetization opportunities go on and on. From gun affiliates to outdoor gear sponsors, recipes, and how-to courses, you could run a site like this for decades and never run out of great, highly-searched content.

Affiliate programs can include hunting gear and equipment, hunting clothing, and hunting guide services. Some popular affiliate programs for hunting websites include Cabela’s, Bass Pro Shops, and Sportsman’s Warehouse. There are also some great hunting tours that you could promote on GetYourGuide.

17. Gardening and Landscaping

I’m considering starting a gardening and landscaping blog, or at least an at-home or backyard hobby blog. But first… I need to learn not to kill every plant I own.

All jokes aside, this is a massive and massively broad niche. You’d need to narrow it down to specific types of gardening like vegetable gardening, herb gardening, vertical gardening, urban gardening, etc. Or for climates, like gardening in desert climates like Arizona, or tropical climates like Florida, etc.

• Affiliate marketing: This niche is ripe for affiliate marketing. Some examples of affiliate programs for this niche include Home Depot, Lowe’s, Target, and Gardeners.com.

18. Biking

I actually have a good friend who runs a cycling blog and it does quite well. He is able to earn a decent income for the site through sponsored content and affiliates, but this is really a side hustle for him.

If you were to take this niche seriously it could do extremely well with online courses, cycle trips, and more affiliate marketing being the main monetization methods I’d focus on.

You can charge a fee for the tours and earn a commission from the travel agency, or hire bike tour guides in your area to scale the tour business out while promoting it on your website.

Affiliate programs include REI, Amazon Associates, TrekBikes, Competitive Cyclist, GetYourGuide (for tours), iCan Cycling, and Wiggle.
• Biking events: Organize biking events such as races, rallies, meet-ups, cycle trips overseas, and local group rides. You can charge a registration fee for the events and earn revenue from sponsors and advertisers. This is also a good way to give to charity as you could give some of the proceeds to a cause of your choice.

19. Surfing and Beach Life

If I didn’t suck so bad at surfing, this would definitely be a niche site I would consider starting. In fact, when I started my last niche site a couple of years ago, I researched this pretty heavily.

I decided against it because I found it hard to find expert surfers who want to spend time writing about surfing online, and I found that there aren’t many products needed for this sport. Just a board really.

Still, if you’re passionate about surfing there are so many ways you could monetize a surf site like online courses, affiliate marketing, tours, and coaching services.
