Niche ideas that are perfect for AI content

Over the last few months, I’ve been compiling niche ideas that are good for AI-generated content.

There aren’t a lot of them out there.

Most niches can benefit from AI content for certain topics, as long as it’s heavily edited (speaking of which, here’s my process for editing AI content in less than 30 minutes).

But there are a few niches where AI content works just as well as human-written content. Perhaps even better, since AI content can be published extremely quickly and at a very low cost.

By the way, my favorite tools for generating AI content at scale are Machined and Koala. Both produce extremely high-quality content (as far as AI content goes), and at a cheap cost.

In today’s email, I’ll reveal a bunch of niches where AI content works great.

But first:

What makes a niche good for AI?

Matt Diggity recently published a video about good niches for AI. You should watch it if you haven’t yet.

He shared what he thinks makes a good niche for AI, including:

• It shouldn’t be heavy on facts

• Opinions are the norm, or consensus hasn’t been reached

• EEAT not important

• Benefits from fast publishing

• Low competition

• Lucrative

I agree for the most part, but I think it’s a bit more nuanced.

For example, some niches are extremely heavy on facts, yet are great for AI because AI is trained on those facts. In these cases, AI would probably perform much better than the average person.

I also think a niche can be great for AI even if it’s not very lucrative or the competition is high. My reasoning for this is that AI content can be published at a massive scale. You can literally publish tens of thousands of articles in one sitting using AI.

If you have tens of thousands of articles bringing in millions of visitors, you’d still be making great money even if ad RPMs were dismal in that particular niche.

However, keep in mind that mass-produced AI content won’t rank (especially in competitive niches) if you don’t also focus on great keyword research, SEO, and building topical authority right away.

Alright, time to reveal some niches!

Good niches for AI

In Matt’s video (linked above), he went over 8 niches that are good for AI, and explained why they’re good.

These are the niches he shared:

1. Personal development

2. Education (course prep, certifications, essay writing)

3. Office (computers, standing desks, ergonomic chairs)

4. Survival and security (prepping, camping, guns)

5. Book summarization

6. pSEO (scraping data and summarizing it with AI, calculators)

7. AI writing prompts (idea generators, story generators, etc)

8. Spirituality

I think those are all great ideas. Again, you should watch his video as he goes into more depth than what I’m sharing here (btw, I wasn’t paid to share this lol 😭).

There are several other niches beyond those that are great for AI in my opinion, including:

• Grammar

This niche is heavily fact-based obviously, but grammar is actually something AI is extremely good at.

Here are the top sites in the Grammar niche (not including tools like Grammarly):

• http://en.bab.la (6.3 million visitors/mo according to SimilarWeb)

• http://english.stackexchange.com (4.1 million visitors/mo)

• http://grammarhow.com (2.7 million visitors/mo)

(GrammarHow was the subject of the following tweet:)

• http://grammarist.com (1.3 million visitors/mo)

• http://writingexplained.org (843K visitors/mo)

Competition is moderate in this niche, but there are still plenty of keywords that have little competition, such as:

• query vs question

• our life or our lives

• transferred or transfered

• combating or combatting

• the latters

Check each of those in Google and you’ll see some hallmarks of an easy-to-rank-for keyword.

The grammar niche is a perfect opportunity for a mix of programmatic SEO and AI-generated content! Once a site gets traction in this niche, a pivot to offering grammar-checking software would be wise.

Grammar is the niche I was referencing in this tweet:

• Name ideas

This niche is perfect for AI. AI can come up with name ideas FAR quicker than possible for any human.

The traffic potential is huge, but it has a very low earnings potential. It’s a tradeoff.

The top sites in this niche are touching 5 million visitors/month.

Competition is moderate, but there are still tons of easy keywords (with decent search volume) like:

• funny names for chickens

• name for a greek restaurant

• consulting team names

• creative names for salads

The name ideas niche is growing in popularity, which is a great sign.

Like grammar, the name ideas niche is also great for a mix of programmatic SEO and AI content.

I found a couple other great niche ideas for AI content, including one with a monthly income potential of ~$420,000.

However, I’m reserving those.

Not entirely for myself. There’s a way for you to see them too.

I’ve included them in Curated Niches, which is my database of 60+ great niche ideas.

So, all current and future Curated Niches customers will be able to see the rest of my niche ideas, along with useful metrics like:

Thanks for reading! Hopefully you got some inspiration out of this. I know I’m strongly considering starting a site in one of the niches I mentioned in this email… 🤐 

Have a great week!
