If I want to start blogging in 2026, what niche is good to start? Most niche seem to be very competitive. How would you tackle niche selection?
 
To start a blog effectively in 2026, you should choose a specific niche that aligns with your knowledge and interests, has genuine user search demand, and moderate competition, then create high-quality content, optimize for SEO, and gradually expand your topic range to grow traffic and site authority over time.
 
as you've said it yourself, most niches are competitive, so there's isn't a specific niche that we can recommend. And equally important, most of the informational keywords (which used to be the easiest to get traffic for) are answered by google's AI with the content that they steal from you, so focusing on niche with informational keywords doesn't seem like a good strategy anymore IMO...

So, you need to find niches that are not very competitive, but which also have keywords that the AI can't answer (at least not yet), such as comparison / review-related keywords, personal experiences, etc..

Wish I could give you a few examples of good niches (or at least industries) to look at, but I've been out of the game for years so I wouldn't know what to say. But start with the above tips, and with a bit of research I'm pretty sure you can find your own niche(s) :)

Pick a niche you understand, then go micro.

Instead of broad topics, focus on very specific angles others ignore.

That’s where the real low competition is.
 
In my opinion, you should choose a field that isn't overly competitive but still has keywords that AI is less likely to answer, and then delve into the smallest details. Don't pursue overly broad topics; instead, focus on specific tools and aspects, even those that most people haven't thought of. These "specialized areas" are where the competition is lowest and it's easiest to gain an advantage.

You have to do the research yourself. You actually need to research deeper into very niche topics to find easy keywords to target.
 
Instead of going for main niches, you can target sub-niches. Like; Gardening, Kitchen care, Save money on travel, Daily finance etc.

While selecting a niche, its important that it comes under your interest and bit of expertise (which you can gain through research). Without that the motivation will vanish after few weeks or months.
 
Rather than a niche "without competition," I would look for a niche with low competition within a very specific sub-niche. Today, I believe it works best to specialize highly (for example, not in economics or money, but in something very specific, like gold, gold trading, mining, etc.). It also helps to choose something where you can contribute real-world experience, things that many people don't know. With a little research, we can obtain information on almost anything, and if we have personal experience, even better. The key isn't avoiding competition, but finding an angle where you can excel.
 
Most niches have competition, and if one doesn't have competition, it's not interesting to get into it. I really can't think of any niches that would be interesting to start a blog about
 
Instead of chasing trends or low-competition niches, choose a topic you understand and are passionate about, with the potential to create long-term quality content; prioritize areas with real demand and opportunities to build topical authority.
 
All niches are good, what you need is to learn to optimize them, put 1-2 niches based your interest on
 
If you are looking for a low competition niche, don't expect easy and fast money.
 
I think instead of chasing a “low competition” niche, it’s better to go a bit specific within something you actually understand. In my experience, micro-niches like focusing on a problem or audience work better than broad topics. You can start small, see what gets traction, and then expand slowly. Most niches feel competitive, but there’s always room if your content is helpful and consistent.

Tech and AI are good niches. However, you'd have to have technical knowledge and/or acquire it in some way in order to blog more effectively on these topics.
 
There is not a single niche with no competition, but low-competition blogging niches usually exist in areas that are more specific, problem-focused, and underserved rather than broad and popular.
 
I think niches feel crowded only when you go too broad. In my experience , it is easier to pick something specific you actually enjoy and then narrow it down even more , like a sub-topic or a certain audience. I would start with what you already know or are learning and build from there. It might not be perfect , but it is easier to grow when you are genuinely interested.
