Why? Because in order for others to love your content, you have to love it first. Your passion for what you are sharing is essential for your viewers to recognize the authenticity behind what you are sharing.

Okay, so you have a couple of blog topics you love rattling around in your head. However, you aren’t sure which one is best for you.
Why aren’t you able to zero in on just one?
Maybe, it’s because you are unsure which topic will actually work and find it’s proper place in the blogging world.
It is tough to know if your idea will take off. However, one way you could narrow down your thoughts is to take a look at blog niches that people find success in and why they work.
Below are the top 3 blog ideas that work within today’s market! Take a little inspiration from what the most prosperous bloggers are doing today and make it yours by doing something just a little different.
Remember: To your readers, there is nothing more alluring than those that simply – Keep it real for niche appeal!
Explore 3 Blog Ideas That Work
1. Health and Wellness
Valuing health can generate wealth!
One niche that never seems to transition as a fad. Simply because good health is vital to our well being. This niche will sustain your blog with a longevity of interest and endless topics for your viewers.
A helpful suggestions: Find a sub niche within your Health and Wellness niche. So many people are covering these topics, it best to cover a subject that’s just a little different from your competitors.
For example: You want of focus on weight loss, but that topic is quite vague and has already been covered a million times. Figure out a smaller segment of the market and go with that. Your target sub niche could be Weight loss for busy mom’s. This is a lot more specific and will have less competition.
I wouldn’t recommend you pursuing this niche if you aren’t willing to put the time into research or don’t already have an interest in the topic.
So what exactly are the next steps if this is the niche blog that is right for you?
It’s one of those tricky blog ideas because you can get a ton of traffic from it, but it can be difficult to monetize if you don’t know what you are doing.
Tips for Generating Wealth with Health
• Affiliate Marketing
This works well because your audience is actively searching for solutions to a problem. By introducing a link from a product whose brand has a large audience, your viewers will be more likely to trust the validity behind what you are promoting.
Consider self-help books, vitamins/supplements, fitness clothing, and yoga/meditation guides as promotional products.
• Team up
A lot of blogs in this niche are usually run by teams of people or fitness trainers. Incorporate these professionals by introducing them within their specialization. Talk about how they’ve helped you on your fitness journey!
Bonus: You can also create a segment of your blog dedicated to interviewing professionals and how they individually reach their fitness goals. This allows for different viewers to connect with those that they feel most comfortable with.
Interviews keep your content fun and engaging!
• Create a Regime
Your health and wellness niche wants to be on the same path of success that you are on. Creating a regime will instill the idea that they too can reach success by following this specifically curated fitness guide.
Don’t just limit yourself to work-outs, talk about foods! This is a vulnerable spot for many, so keep it relatable. Everyone gives into the not-so-healthy once in awhile, reassure your viewers that periodical indulgence is healthy, too!
2. Personal Finance
This is one of those niche blog ideas that viewers hope more bloggers tap into. Everyone wants to know how they can rake in the cash now, without regretting what they’ve spent later. And as inflation takes leeway for many in demand products, this niche wants ways to save while making more.
Make Money With These Sub-Niches
• Increasing Wealth
This niche is geared toward increasing personal wealth, or to be more direct, the problem of making money. Find innovative ways for your to use your niche to show people how they can make more cash. This definitively hits the mark when comes to providing useful content for your readers.
One of the larger bloggers in this space is Michelle Gardner. The majority of her income comes from her use of affiliate links with companies like BlueHost, along with her affiliate marketing course “Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing”. Both of those would fall under a wealth niche.
• Frugal Living
This blog niche is geared toward our savers of the world, that wish to get the most out of their pretty penny. The strategy here is to cast a wide net around frugal living, showing people that you can live frugally and make a ton of money at the same time.
The Busy Budgeter by Rosemarie is another great example of someone who takes advantage for the frugal living niche. She shows her readers how to save while on a time consuming schedule.
Remember: These are only examples. So, if you found yourself asking….
.…“Do I need to start a blog on making money to make money?”
It’s actually a great question because all of the blogs that teach you how to make money seem to be run by people that only make money through this kind of blogging.
Luckily, this isn’t the only niche blog that can do well with making money, but it’s one of the easiest…
…if you can show that you are making money yourself already.
Make Sure You Know Finance
Too many bloggers jump into this blog niche and take the wrong approach!
They pretend that they have the knowledge to share with others about making money online when they don’t even have a successful track record of money making to begin with.
Your audience is not to be fooled. They’re aware they have multiple resources online to resort to. If yours isn’t credible, they’ll hit that ‘x’ and exit right out of your content.
So, once again – be authentic! Share with your readers your money making history.
Don’t Forget: This doesn’t mean that beginning bloggers can’t enter this niche blog, as well. Beginners can create a blog journey, chronicle all of the things that are working for you and not working for you. Let people follow you along from day one and see your growth.
Keep your primary blog centralized on how to make money, interlinking your secondary blog that details your money making journey. This is another great resource if you wish to introduce a book or course in the future!
3. Beauty and Fashion
Looks do matter in this niche. However, surprisingly personality does too, in the world of beauty and fashion blogging.
The world of beauty and fashion is taking over. I mean, have you seen Instagram lately? It’s full of 60 second videos on makeup looks and photo shoots, promoting a sense of style or an emerging line of products. For many, beauty and fashion are the holy grail of successful blog ideas because not only can you make money but you also gain access to exciting events.
• We tend to think that if you are a visionary, this niche blog is perfect for you.
Let us paint the picture for you:
When it comes to beauty and fashion, your viewers want to be primarily inspired by what they see, not what they read. You need to create a visual platform and your personality can do wonders for increasing your audience.
The most successful bloggers in the beauty and fashion industry have a sense of authenticity to them as well – they’re quirky and knowledgeable.
Below are a few of our favorite beauty and fashion YouTube channels:
• User: Violette_Fr
We love Violette because she has a keen eye on visuals. She conveys her beauty tips with precision, not length. Also, take a notice to how she films her videos – it’s refreshing to see how she incorporates beauty in her everyday life, effortlessly.
• User: Rian Phin
We favor Rian because her videos are versatile, giving a wide range of subjects for her YouTube viewers. She normalizes finding inspiration from others and copying that inspiration for personalized use. (This is something we all do but don’t want to quite admit to)
Have fun with it: You can build your beauty and fashion blog by creating a lifestyle around it. Cover various categories so different viewers can relate to your message.
Sub-Niches That Will Make You Look Good
• The Budgeted Guru
Beauty and fashion isn’t cheap. I find the most views for beauty pages are from drugstore brands. As for fashion, thrifting your clothes or finding low-cost vendors to showcase your finds really gains the attention of your viewers.
It’s not surprising – most people want to know how they can look their best, without having to spend a ton for it.
• The Industry Expert
If you have inside knowledge of the beauty or fashion industry, share that valuable information with your viewers. This can include keeping up with press releases and updating your audience on what’s new and current or attending shows and expo’s, detailing your experience.
Not everyone has time to be an expert, be that time for them by sharing the inside scoop.
Your Blog Ideas Matter!
There be enough blogs.
Why?
Because everyone has something unique to share and everyone shares it differently, targeting different niches and niche websites. Your voice has an impact and by being passionate about your blog ideas – your vision can come to life.
Identifying your niche is fundamental to the blogging process, but sub-niches are direct building blocks that can lengthen the longevity of your blog.
Authenticity allows for credibility and creativity allows for individuality. If there is one thing I have learned from success stories of those that thrive on the internet, is that they knew their purpose and they weren’t afraid to express themselves! You gotta know your stuff before you sell your stuff. You gotta believe in yourself before others believe in you, too!
Moral of the story: You can make anything work, as long as you are dedicated to your blog ideas. There’s nothing stopping you, but you and there’s never a better time to begin blogging and finding your niche than now.
