The UFO Niche
The UFO Niche
~ Beam Up your Business (or Just Your Sanity) ~
The UFO niche! A place where conspiracy theories meet business, and where the phrase "the truth is out there" is just another way of saying "monetize the unknown." If you’ve ever found yourself down a YouTube rabbit hole at 2 AM watching grainy footage of blinking lights while questioning your life choices, congratulations! You’re already halfway to being an expert in the field.
The Appeal of the UFO Niche
What makes the UFO niche so special? Well, for starters, it’s one of the few markets where blurry, indecipherable images are not just accepted but encouraged. It’s also a place where skepticism and belief collide like two intergalactic spaceships in a cosmic fender bender.
The UFO niche attracts enthusiasts, truth-seekers, and the guy on your Facebook feed who insists the government is covering up what really happened in Roswell. This means an eager audience willing to spend money on alien-themed merchandise, documentaries, books, and tinfoil hats (which, surprisingly, have a decent resale value on Etsy).
How to Succeed in the UFO Niche
Want to carve out a profitable (and possibly extraterrestrial) business?
A few strategies:
1. Merchandise the Mystery
From glow-in-the-dark alien plushies to “I Want to Believe” t-shirts, UFO fans love a good trinket. If you can slap an alien face on it, someone will buy it. Pro tip: make a limited-edition run of "Official Area 51 Escapee" mugs... just vague enough to be intriguing but legally safe
2. Start a Podcast or YouTube Channel
Every niche needs its content creators, and UFOlogy is a goldmine of material. Did an amateur astronomer claim they saw a fleet of glowing orbs? Time to dissect that for 45 minutes with intense music and zoomed-in screenshots. Bonus points if you can get a former government official to nod cryptically while refusing to confirm anything.
3. Sell Alien Abduction Insurance
Yes, this exists. And yes, people buy it. Offer peace of mind to those worried about being whisked away in the middle of the night by beings who may or may not conduct invasive experiments. Throw in an “Earth Return Guarantee” for premium customers.
4. Create an Online Course: UFO Spotting 101
Teach people the art of discerning an alien mothership from a distant airplane. Offer a certification... because nothing says “credible” like a PDF diploma that says “Certified UFO Analyst.”
5. Write a Book (Even If You Make It Up)
Remember, “fiction” is just a matter of perspective. A self-published book with a title like "They Walk Among Us: The Hidden History of Alien Infiltration" is bound to sell a few copies. Add a foreword by a mysterious figure named "Dr. Y" and boom... you’ve got a bestseller.
The Risks of the UFO Niche
Of course, not everything in the UFO niche is smooth flying.
You may have to deal with:
- Skeptics and trolls. Be prepared for aggressive debunkers who will insist that your latest UFO footage is just a frisbee.
- The government watching you. (Or at least that’s what you should tell your audience for dramatic effect.)
- Getting too deep. One minute, you're selling alien-themed keychains, and the next, you're convinced your neighbor is a Reptilian overlord. It’s a slippery slope.
Is the UFO Niche Worth It?
If you’re passionate about the unknown, enjoy stirring up curiosity, and don’t mind a few side-eyes from family members at Thanksgiving, the UFO niche could be your calling. Just remember: whether or not aliens exist, there will always be people willing to buy an overpriced crop-circle-shaped bath mat. And in the end, isn’t that what entrepreneurship is all about?
Stay curious, keep watching the skies, and never underestimate the marketability of little green men.

I'm actually caught In the crosshairs, Fleeky! I'm a part of TWO communities that will get me sideways glances : UFOs and Sasquatch. The moment anyone comes forward and mentions that Bigfoot was actually dropped off here by extraterrestrial? That's when the arguments begin!
I grew up in Yonkers, NY, which is not far from the Hudson valley where locals claimed they saw that rectangular shaped craft with lights - similar to the Phoenix Lights. I believe it was around 1980.
The one thing that I've learned, is that if you ever see anything? Be careful WHO you tell! I don't want the creepy Men in Black to come sniffing around my house, scaring me! 👽😱
Isaiah 😁
Wow, you’re deep in the mystery zone Isaiah! UFOs and Sasquatch?! 👽🦶 that’s a crossover episode I’d love to see (in sci-fi to keep you safe) ! And yes, the moment someone links Bigfoot to extraterrestrials, all bets are off. 😆
That Hudson Valley sighting sounds fascinating! The rectangular craft with lights is eerily similar to the Phoenix Lights... makes you wonder just how much is really out there.
And you’re absolutely right… talking too much about these things might just summon the wrong kind of visitors. 😱 If a couple of guys in black suits knock on your door, just play dumb… or offer them coffee and see if they spill some secrets. ☕👀
Stay safe out there, fellow cosmic investigator! 🚀👽
And thanks for passing by! 🖖👣👣
Thanks Fleeky!
And you're right! Someone like ME? I'm creating an 'alias' if I ever come forward with proof or evidence of whatever's out there! PLUS I'm making a backup copy of any photographs, videos, footprints- or ANY evidence I find, just incase some fishy individuals come and confiscate or ransack my stuff! Trust me - I'm on top it! 👀
Now that is some next-level preparedness! 🔥👀 You’re basically the secret agent of UFO and Sasquatch investigations. Just make sure your alias is something epic... like ‘Agent X’ or ‘Galactic Watcher 42.’ 🤭
And YES to backups! Cloud storage, hidden USBs, maybe even bury a hard drive in an undisclosed location... you never know when ‘they’ might come knocking. 🚪👽
If you ever do uncover something mind-blowing, just blink twice in your next comment so we know you're still safe. 😂 😉😉
This is the best post I've read in a while! I may go down the "crop circle bath mat" rabbit hole later!
Thanks for this extremely entertaining post, Fleeky! (He types while sitting at his PC with a tinfoil hat on) 🤣🤣
Tim 🎼
Nanu Nanu Tim,
Haha, I love this! Crop circle bath mats? Now that’s next-level home decor... I need to see where this rabbit hole leads! 🛸🛁✨
And I must say, excellent choice of headwear. A tinfoil hat is a must-have for peak intergalactic reception. 😉 Stay tuned, who knows what cosmic secrets might download next! 🚀👽
Glad you enjoyed the post, and thanks for the laugh!
Fleeky
PS
Crop circles are my favorites... they hide a lot of cosmic truths
Fleeky,
I HAVE LIVED IN ROSWELL!
Driving across those lonely roads, seeing what you see. I can't believe I hadn't considered this niche!
There are still people there who were working at the Air Force Base when this occurred.
I have talked to them and gotten the "If I tell ya, I'll have to kill ya" reply.
The part of the stories that always fascinated me was the history of how quickly all the military base personnel who were involved in the clean-up were moved out of the area.
I thought that part would make an interesting novel.
Yes, it is eerie and would be a fun/interesting niche.
Fun read, and thanks for sharing.
Sami
Nanu nanu Sami!
Wow, first-hand Roswell experience? That’s next-level UFO cred! 🚀👽 Those lonely roads must have some serious stories to tell. And talking to people who were there? That’s wild!
The rapid relocation of the personnel is such an intriguing part of the story. I agree, that would make an incredible novel! A mix of mystery, history, and conspiracy-bestseller material! 📖✨
If you ever decide to explore this niche, you’ve already got some fascinating insights to work with. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Such a fun comment!👀
Fleeky
Fleeky, your post had me laughing! The UFO niche is such a fun mix of creativity and opportunity. I never realized how much people actually spend on alien merch, but now it totally makes sense.
Alien abduction insurance? That’s brilliant. And "Official Intergalactic Citizen" certificates? Someone needs to make those happen.
Haven’t seen a UFO myself, but if I ever do, I’ll be ready with a blurry video and a YouTube channel. Gotta keep the mystery alive.
Great breakdown of a unique niche! 🚀👽
Cheers,
Boris
Haha, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! The UFO niche really is a wild mix of fun, mystery, and opportunity. And yes, people spend a lot on alien merch: it’s mind-blowing!
Alien abduction insurance is a real thing (who knew, right?), and I love the idea of ‘Official Intergalactic Citizen’ certificates! Someone should definitely get on that. 😆
If you ever do spot a UFO, make sure the footage is just blurry enough to keep the mystery alive! 😂 Thanks for the awesome comment, appreciate it! 🚀👽
Cheers,
Fleeky
Ps
I once saw one... it was not aerial and definitely flying 👀

Fleeky, my friend, you have struck a huge favorite area of mine! I have been working on science fiction/fantasy and the UFO phenomenon certainly fits this area, too. My first science fantasy book will be released soon (written under a pen name to separate from my non-fiction books) and I've been adding short stories to my pen name Medium account, too. These are just so much fun!
Thank you for the introspection on this genre!
Diane! That’s fantastic! 🚀👽 Sci-fi, fantasy, and UFOs? You’re right in the sweet spot of imagination and mystery! Your upcoming book release sounds super exciting! Congrats! 🎉📖
Writing under a pen name is a great way to separate different styles, and adding short stories to Medium is a brilliant way to build your audience. I’d love to check out your work... feel free to share a link here! ( checked your profile)
Wishing you massive success on your sci-fi journey... sounds like you’re just getting started on something truly out of this world! 😉✨

My penname Medium account is: https://medium.com/@volansauthor
I'm working on the actual website for the DMVolans. For fun, I've also started a YouTube channel where my characters can introduce themselves and share stories.
Diane, that sounds amazing! 🚀📖 A full sci-fi universe across Medium, a website, and a YouTube channel? That’s next-level world-building! I love the idea of having your characters introduce themselves. It really brings the story to life in such a unique way.
I’ll definitely check out your Medium account! When your website is ready, I’d love to see that too. Keep going...sounds like you’re creating something truly epic! 🔥👽✨
Fleeky
Thank you, Fleeky. I truly appreciate your kind comments. Looking forward to hearing your comments on the continuation!
Yes...
Just know I am not on Medium...
Have a great Day Diane
