10 Profitable Online Business Niches
Starting my online business was one of the best things I ever did for myself. It gives me so much control over my own schedule, where I work from, and how much I make! If you also want to start an online business, I’m here to help you choose a niche.
In this post, I’m going over 10 profitable niches for your online business, and I’m also giving you some ideas of what you can sell for each one.
Before we dive in, I just want to make sure you pick something you enjoy and are good at (or are willing to learn and get good at). This will ensure you don’t get bored and give up when things get tough, and will also help you sell things that are truly valuable to your customers and clients because they come from real expertise.
So, are you ready to dive in? Let’s go!
Personal Finance
This is a huge niche! Sometimes with large niches like this, it can feel like there’s no room for us. It’s easy to say, “Oh, enough people are already doing that. I should pick something else.”
However, the fact that other people are doing it (and doing it successfully) means that it’s a niche that people are interested in. It’s tried and true. The key is to make your own space within that niche with a unique approach, method, or system.
Some ways you can make money in the personal finance niche are:
Budget spreadsheets
Budgeting classes
Budget printables
In this niche, you will want to be careful about your verbiage and whether or not you’re offering financial advice. I’m not a lawyer, so I can’t advise you on that, but it’s something to look into before getting started!
Health & Wellness
This is another option where you can really put your unique spin on things. Maybe you’ll teach workout routines for people easing back into exercise, or create meal plans for different dietary needs. This is another niche where it’s a good idea to look up any licensing you need and what you can and cannot say about health.
Some ways you can make money in the health and wellness niche are:
Custom workout plans
Virtual exercise classes
Meal plans and grocery lists
Home Organization
This is one of my favorites! A lot of people need help in this area, and there are so many unique methods of decluttering and organizing. You could even expand this into cleaning and decorating content as well!
Some ways you can make money in the home organization niche are:
One-on-one organizing services (in-person or virtual)
Decluttering workshops
Organization printables and planners
Career
People will absolutely pay for help to land their dream job or advance in their current career, and there is definitely room for more businesses in this niche.
Some ways you can make money in the career niche are:
Resume writing services
Resume and cover letter templates
Interview skills classes
Design
If you have graphic design skills, you can make a lot of money in this niche. Again, it’s really important to lean into your own style here so you can stand out amongst the competition.
Some ways you can make money in the design niche are:
Digital products like fonts and website templates
Brand design services
Workshops to help people DIY their branding
Crafting
I’ve recently learned a lot more about the crafting niche, and it truly is gigantic. There are so many types of crafts, from Cricut projects to woodworking to quilting and so much in between.
Some ways you can make money in the crafting niche are:
Cricut templates
How-to classes
Selling your own crafted products
Planning & Productivity
This is another favorite of mine, and it’s something I talk about a lot! Planning and productivity are things that can really improve someone’s life, making it a great niche to get into.
Some ways you can make money in the planning and productivity niche are:
Time management workshops
Printable and digital planners
Books or courses about your methods
Entrepreneurship
This is a major niche of mine, and it’s a highly profitable one. Starting a business can feel overwhelming, so people are happy to pay for some help to get started.
Some ways you can make money in the entrepreneurship niche are:
Business coaching
Marketing workshops
Social media templates
Travel
This is a niche that I think has a lot of untapped potential and unique ways to make money. Plus, how fun would it be to turn travel into your job?!
Some ways you can make money in the travel niche are:
Travel vlogs with sponsorships
Trip itineraries and packing lists
Travel gear guides with affiliate links
Events
Whether it’s weddings, birthday parties, baby showers, corporate events, or something else, the events niche is a super fun one.
