Is this a good niche for a website? (beginner)

I don't really know where to post this, so I'm sorry if this question belongs somewhere else.

I want to build my first niche website and monetize it with ads. The website will be in a language that is significantly smaller than English, so there is little competition: Only one other niche website exists with a niche even remotely similar to what I want to make a website about.

Without revealing too much, the niche is about a certain type of skills that some people want to learn. I know a lot about this niche. Many keywords related to the niche get 1k-10k monthly searches according the Google keywords planner and it appears that the niche has a CPC of roughly 1-3 USD.

When I search for keywords that the other website in my niche has articles about, that website's articles typically show up as the second result (the first one being Wikipedia). However, there are many keywords within my niche that that website doesn't have articles about, and those are up for grabs.

Does this sound like a good niche for a beginner?

To start, sound good!

Sounds good. Go for it.

How are you planning on monetizing it?

Adsense.

I don't really care about profits. As long as the ads cover the hosting fee, I'm happy.

You'll need a lot of visitors with a lot of clicks to cover hosting fees with adsense. Their pay has been peanuts lately, although on the Google Ads (formerly Adwords) platform, the click pricing has gone up.

Also, if you're a beginner - start caring about profits - if you're really serious about IM.

If you're just doing it for the sake of it, go ahead. Might as well cover the fees from your own pocket.

Do you have any suggestions for alternative monetization methods?

I specialize in monetization.

You can go from Amazon Affiliates to CJ to creating your own product.

Would depend on the niche.

@tumblrgeek To be honest, CB has been goldmine. Go with CB

OP, Talking about your niche, it's good to start!

If you are going to run Adsense its best to setup header bidding to maximize profits
