Best Low Competition Niches for New Beginners on X for 2027?

Let’s get this conversation going. This is part of my continuing series on what works and what doesn’t on X, formerly known as Twitter.

I have tried to build an account that is focused on politics with a little bit of entertainment mixed in in my experience. Sadly this was a bad choice as I did not see any real growth from posting on a daily basis for six months. My follower count was going up and down, up and down. My research has found that this is a widespread problem in the politics and entertainment industries because of the high volume of bots.

So I ask you this – if you had to start from scratch with 0 followers – what niche would you pick that you think will still be relevant in 2027?
I would pick AI and automation because they are very new and they're what's trendy RN.
 
I agree with venasaur's point on ragebait unfortunately working very well

But if you don't want to do that, pick the most active topic at the moment, e.g. Iran Conflict

However, know that your future engagement is tied to your followers, so pivoting can be a real issue.

Hey bro,

Politics and entertainment are tough for new accounts. Too many bots and big pages already dominating.

Now, this will be completely up to you, but my suggestion will be to look at niches that are more practical and less saturated. For example:
  1. Health & fitness with a specifics, like - home workouts, specific diets, etc.
  2. Personal finance for beginners (budgeting, side hustles, simple investing)
  3. Small business / freelancing tips
  4. AI tools for everyday people (not big tech talk, just useful tools)
  5. Local or hobby-based topics that people actually engage with
The ones that grow better usually solve a clear problem or teach something useful. Pure opinion niches get noisy fast.

Maintain consistency and keep posting useful content - they still matter more than the niche itself.

What kind of content do you enjoy making? That usually helps more than chasing the “best” niche.
 
Some kind of controversial subniche would do well. For example: Natural vs. Juiced Bodybuilders instead of a more generic work out health and fitness handle.
