Recently, I stumbled upon this hydroponics niche.

I started learning more about this niche and found it could be one of the best niches to build a blog and generate massive passive income.

For people who don’t know about hydroponics, it is growing plants without soil using minerals in water solvent.

Why hydroponics Niche?

When I heard about this niche, I started my research on google trends to see if it trending. I was surprised to see there was a constant high interest in this niche.

Then I searched for blogs in this niche and to my surprise, I found that there are not a lot of blogs that are very popular in this space.

Also, the competition was not that heavy compared to other blog niches.

Look at the first-page search result for the keyword hydroponic blog. The second search result has a low authority and most of the list does not look competitive.

Next, I wanted to see if there is enough volume in the google search, to see if people are searching for it.

100k – a million searches in Google just in the US.

Pretty huge.

Based on all this research, it is safe to conclude that this is a good niche to start a blog.

A landing page is basically a page that collects email address in exchange for some information or free product.

Collecting email address is important from the beginning for you to acquire loyal audience and sell products and services.

Keep the landing page simple.

The only goal for the landing page is to collect emails so keep the landing page to the point and only add content that would motivate people to join your list.

It is not a blog or a place to write your story.

Create Cornerstone content

A cornerstone content is a detailed article about a topic and it could have multiple subtopics under them.

In hydroponics blog, the cornerstone content could be a beginner guide to start hydroponics farming.

Then your subtopic could be techniques to hydroponics farming, tools and new ideas to hydroponics farmers.

All these subtopics could be separate blogs linking back to your cornerstone content. So it would create a good internal linking structure and helps people navigate easily.
