Yes, if the niche has enough search demand. I’d first list 20–30 questions I can answer well and check whether existing results leave useful gaps.
yesh i believe niche blogs have the potential of succeeding. the point being that u do not necessarily require thousands of visitors. u only need a highly targetted audience. this will make the creation of valuablle content nd knowing what the readers want relatively easy.

i think small niche sites can still work, but i'd build around a specific audience/problem rather than one tiny keyword set.
the danger with going too narrow is hitting the ceiling after 20 articles and having nowhere natural to expand.
if the niche gives you one clear starting point plus a few adjacent problems/products you can move into later, i'd actually prefer that over starting broad and trying to compete everywhere at once.

Specific niche makes it easier to build topical authority and create useful content without competing with huge sites but the key here lies in choosing a niche with enough search demand and potential.

I'd focus on solving a particular audience's problems rather than choosing a niche just because it has low competition.

Small niches can still work, especially when the site covers a specific topic better than the bigger general sites.
They may be easier to manage, but competition can still be strong even in a small niche, so the content needs to offer something useful or different.

It will be hard to rank such websites. The big websites are all after all such content. They do not want to leave any keywords and google is also giving lot of importance to website authority.

I think small niche blogs are still worth building. A focused audience makes content planning easier, and solving specific problems can help attract relevant traffic and loyal readers.

micro niches sites are much easier to scale and flip imo. fewer hassles when it comes to updates when you have a narrow focus.

imo, its not as easy to build a niche blog as it was before.
If you are new, you will have to work very hard on it because Google has made it much harder to get a new site ranking well, especially for basic informational keywords.
And AI Overviews have made it harder to turn those rankings into traffic too. A lot of simple questions are answered right there, so people don't always need to scroll down and visit a website.
I still think small niche sites can work, but I would be much more careful about the niche and the type of keywords before spending months building one.

small niche websites are okay as well, but never create zero-click content. make sure that you have selected your keyword which have a purchasing intent.
niche marketing is gud too but intent based keyword nd testing your affiliate product should come first before going after traffic honestly speaking.

Yes, very specific niche sites can work well. I would rather build strong topical authority in one focused niche than spread content across a huge topic.
It is easier to cover the niche deeply, build relevant internal links, understand search intent, and attract targeted backlinks. Once the site starts gaining traction, you can expand into closely related topics.

Yes, small niche blogs can still work well. A focused topic makes it easier to create useful content for a specific audience. You may get less traffic, but the visitors can be more relevant and easier to engage.

A small niche can be easier to build authority in because you can cover the main topics without trying to compete with huge sites.

still have some little information sites running in niche verticals easy to get ranked and monetized with affiliate programs before G updates destroy them imo
