Need help finding a niche? I've got you covered.

Hi everyone, so as someone who has often preached about the importance of choosing a niche you love to build a business with in WA, I often find myself helping people inside and outside of WA in doing this.
One of the key components of the WA program is to help you build a profitable niche website on a topic you love in life and by choosing the topic correctly (meaning choosing something you love and something that is popular, that will automtically make it a potentially lucrative topic to build your business on).
But doing that correctly for many people can be a difficult task and often times people ask me the following questions which tell me they don't really understand niches or how to choose them. Questions such as:
- What is the most profitable niche?
- What are the top 10 niches for so and so?
- What's a profitable niche?
- Ect...
One of the main problems with all of these questions is that people don't even think about what THEY LOVE, but rather what they think can make money. While you CAN build a profitable niche business on a profitable topic, one of the key components to actually helping you do it faster, better and getting more satisfaction out of it is passion.
Not only that, but if you choose something you love, here's what else happens:
- It's easier to brainstorm content creation ideas.
- It's easier to find popular keywords because you know the subject.
- It's easier to write good content that ranks better.
- It's easier to review products and promote them since you know the subject.
- It's easier to be ambitious because you love the niche.
- It's easier to make your chosen niche a profitable online business overall.

If you have NO passion for the niche topic you chose, you will find it harder to build that business and there's a CLEAR difference in building a niche business you LOVE vs one you're just feeling "meh" about.
Very often, I'll refer people to a popular article I wrote long ago here on that topic which explains what niches are and how you find them: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/vitaliyg/blog/how-to-narrow-...
And if you're a premium plus member, I also have a very in-depth 5 part series on niches and choosing YOUR ideal one here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/classes/series/picking-your-...
The key in these resources is to help you pick an IDEAL niche for YOU specifcially. My top 3 niches list may be completely different than yours and frankly, that's totally fine.
However, one ADDITIONAL helpful thing I've done lately is ask people about giving me their top 5 or top 10 list of niches and assigning a 1-10 number to them, where 1 represents a topic you don't love much or have a lot of experience in and 10 being you LOVE the topic and your knowledge in it is high.
What I want to do in this specific post is share this info with you and help you choose an ideal niche for you if you're currently stuck in that position.
So to get this started, let me give you my personal list of the top 5/10 niches I like with a 1-10 number assigned to them, and based on it choose the one that is most ideal for me.
If you want to ask me which niche to choose, I want you to reply to this post in the same manner and I'll help you isolate one that would be ideal to build upon in WA. Here goes:
- Hiking (8)
- Affiliate marketing and online business (8)
- Street self defense (7)
- How to lose belly fat (4)
- How to regrow your hair for men (3)
- Nature travel destinations (8)
- RV travel (4)
- Drones (6)
Based on this list, there are 2 topics (hiking and nature travel destinations) which get an 8 rating which I can merge to create a niche site off and that's exactly what I did by creating a travel blog called The Nature Seeker.
Your turn :)
