Man, people seriously sleep on niche websites. Building passive income with AdSense? Criminally underrated. Iām not just parroting some guruālearned this the hard way after spinning up a little site about, of all things, indoor plant care. Total āwhy not?ā side hustle. I picked it ācause, yeah, Iām one of those plant nerds, and apparently, so are thousands of other folks Googling stuff like āhow not to kill a fiddle leaf fig in winter.ā Who knew?
So I just wrote these super specific, evergreen posts. Stuff I wish Iād found ages ago. Didnāt overthink it, just targeted long-tail keywords that sounded like actual questions people might punch into Google after murdering their tenth succulent. Couple months in? Traffic started creeping up, and suddenly AdSense was tossing me enough cash to pay for, I dunno, a couple Starbucks runs a week. Not life-changing, but hey, it adds up.
What blew my mind is you can go ultra-specificālike, Iāve seen sites about budget camping gear, bird-watching for beginners, or even crossword tips (shoutout to my fellow puzzle dorks)āand these tiny sites still rake in solid traffic and cash. You donāt need a viral empire. Find a niche with obsessed fans and lots of āhow do Iā¦?ā searches, and boom, AdSense loves you. Pro tip: you donāt need a million eyeballsāa few hundred real, engaged visitors a day with decent CPC, and youāre golden.
Honestly, Iām all about niche sites. Theyāre chill, low-drama, you can tinker with them after work, or ignore them for a month and they still chug along. If youāre feeling spicy, you can even flip āem for a nice payday or start a little army of āem for different income streams. Watching a dinky little site grow into a steady money-maker is weirdly satisfying. Ever toyed with the idea of launching your own? If you had to pick a niche, whatās your poison? Donāt say crypto.
