Mind you, most people almost want the same thing in life. One of the aims of blogging is to help people solve their basic problems through writing and in turn, earn a decent amount from teaching them the answers to their needs. Blogging is not free and a serious blogger must be willing to educate his/her readers on specific categories. This is known as Niche blogging.
Niche blogging is the ability of a blogger to specialize in an area of profitable interest. Any specific area you choose will depend on how good you can give authoritative information that interests your readers. Knowing this, it will be great if a blogger finds a profitable niche.

Without money, a person will be left dead (psychologically and physically). Money is what we use to buy almost everything and influence some transactions.

Humans don’t actually mind their business. It is well known that most of our talks (80%) are about other people. This is why entertainment channels rake in so much money after pharmaceutical industries. Everybody likes music and movies. We talk about celebrities, footballers, athletes, etc; their lifestyles, net worth, etc. The entertainment niche comprises everything that humans do to feel good about themselves, and this is a very lucrative niche blogging that anyone can invest on. It is of a worthy mention that gossips in the entertainment sub-niche sell more than other entertainment sub-niches.

Sources of articles can come from Instagram, Facebook, other blogs and personal experiences.
Relationship
When you have gotten the necessary self-esteem, what next? You start investing in people for different purposes. Everybody wants to have an amazing relationship with their parents, siblings, boyfriends, girlfriends, etc. Relationship entails sex life, dating advice, connections, family interactions, even relationships with animals. Therefore, blogs that answer questions on relationship issues will attract free traffic over time. This traffic would be converted into money-making ventures for the blog owner.
Motivation
From my experience, most people get through depression before becoming successful in life. Any form of encouraging people online through words, stories, memes, pictures, etc. can get an entrepreneur far in the internet business. Self-help seminars are raking in millions; books are selling. Venturing into this business requires an entrepreneur to update people on books and seminars that would improve their lives. Be positive. Live your life like a boss. Ignore haters. You are destined for greatness. Anyhow the lines sound will get you started. This business may not require a blog, you can start off on Instagram, Facebook page, other social media platform that you can post for free.
Politics
Most hardcover magazines talk on politics, entertainment and technology. Politics is a transient niche. It changes and it is an everyday topic. Unlike other niches, political contents must be updated every day and it must be authentic. Politics includes details on political figures, their ideologies, elections, daily happenings in our communities, etc. If you are clueless on political topics, then try and subscribe for national dailies for one week. It will give you ideas on topics. Politics pay much and can be stressful. You may need to hire journalists across your country to give authentic updates. Almost every adult is interested in the political affairs of their country.

This niche is vast that it stands on its own entirely. Technology entails the latest gadgets, trending devices, security breaches, programming tools, etc. The topics are vast that blogging on the tech industry is an evergreen one.
