What It Is

Instead of competing with Forbes in finance or tech, you start a blog in an everyday hobby niche like gardening, home decor, pet care, a specific part of fitness, or cooking for a particular diet. You use AI to research and draft helpful posts, add your own experience, and earn from display ads and affiliate links.

The Pitch

Adam says these niches 'feel simple, almost too simple' but work because millions of people search for them and you're only competing against other hobbyists, not professional journalists.

Who It’s Best For

People with a hobby they love and the patience to post regularly for many months.

The Truth (as we see it)

Blogs usually take six months to a year or more to earn meaningful money, and Google updates can wipe out traffic. AI-written posts without real experience rarely rank now. Adam earns from affiliate links for the tools he recommends and sells his own programs.
