I’m always coming up with ideas for blogs that I’ll never create, but which might be perfect for somebody else. I haven’t done any keyword research on these, so you’re on your own for that. These are not overcrowded niches; some of these will have an extremely limited audience. Remember the long tail and that it’s all about relevancy.
In some ways, choosing a blog niche is difficult, but in other ways, it’s quite easy. I made up this list in about 30 minutes of brainstorming and googling. I make no claims that you will become rich or famous with these topics (though I feel some of them have promise as money-makers).
Here they are, numbered, in the order in which I thought of them:
- Iraq veteran stories
- Iraq veteran physical rehab/therapy
- Iraq veteran painkiller help
- Local video reporting blog
- Local video interviews blog
- Bow hunting
- Muzzle-loader/primitive tech woodcraft/survival
- Canning/preserving/root-cellaring/fermenting
- cheesemaking
- Raising chickens
- Keeping sheep or goats
- Saltwater aquarium
- Keeping ferrets
- Growing hops
- Growing and curing your own tobacco
- homemade rifles and pistols
- Cartography and/or collecting old maps
- Robot toys
- 70s TV shows
- Legos
- Fighting foreclosure
- Seamstress/sewing/how to sew
- Couture wedding/bridal
- Textures blog (Photoshop/3d-modeling/animation)
- Open Moko (an open source mobile OS: http://www.openmoko.com/)
If anyone decides to use one of these (or is using one already), give a shout in the comments so we can see what you’re doing with it. I’m going to make this a semi-regular feature here, since I’m always coming up with ideas. I figure if I’m not going to do anything with ‘em, maybe you could.
“homemade rifles and pistols”
I can see the blog posts now… “Making your own AK47″… Not sure that’s the sort of blog we need more of

Good effort to share your idea with all readers.
Since your listed idea are ‘pre-researched’, people definitely need to put their own effort to have a so-called ‘keyword research’ on any given niche before building a blog on it.
I would like to share something similar with your above offer (niche ideas), but mine are ‘fully-researched’ one!
