My article about big money making blogs ended up with comments about over-crowded niches and the small chance that you will be successful in a niche that is completely stuffed with blogs and websites. If you want to make some money from blogging, there are several other parts of the Internet, which are ready to be used to gain a income.

If you’re a blogger in a over-crowded niche and you keep on struggling with earning a few dollars each month, you really should consider blogging about something else. Thousands of bloggers spend one day after another with writing articles that other bloggers have published before. Those articles won’t get noticed, but the enthusiastic bloggers keep on trying.
Calm and peaceful but challenging niches
There are lots of opportunities for bloggers in niches that aren’t as crowded as the make-money-online niche that we all know about. But still, those niches can make you some (great) money as there aren’t as much blogs covering the same topics as you are.
Once you start covering some topics in niches that aren’t as crowded as you’re used to, the amount of visitors can be quite disappointing. But we shouldn’t forget that blogging is a long term project but still we don’t want to cut ourselves in the fingers.
Exploring unknown territories
The best subject to start a blog about, has yet to be found. If you really want to make a serious income from blogging, you need to cover a new topic. For example, take a look at new software that will come to the market soon, or a new programming language.
Stick with your topic and stay faithful, popularity won’t come in just a few days. But when we look at one of the best know bloggers in over-crowded niches, Darren Rowse, he was a pioneer from the start of blogging. That’s the key to success, picking a niche that hasn’t been covered yet!

Hi Coen,
I absolutely agree with you. Only when you find topic to blog about and it becomes succesful it will be crowded too.
I liked this article I will sphinn it.
True, but you have a huge advantage on the blogs that start later on, if you blog from the start of the popularity of the subject.
Take a look at Darren Rowse on Problogger, one of the pioneers in the blogging-niche and he is still one of the best bloggers in that niche!
