Niche Overview: Personal Finance for Specific Groups
This niche is a powerful blend of evergreen demand, high CPC keywords, and affiliate monetization — especially when I tailor content to a specific audience (like freelancers, remote workers, expats, or students).
✅ Why This Niche Is So Profitable
1. Evergreen Demand
- People will always need financial advice — budgeting, saving, investing, or tax-related guidance.
- Content doesn’t expire quickly, making it ideal for passive SEO traffic.
2. High AdSense CPC
- Finance keywords consistently have some of the highest CPCs on Google.
- You’ll often see $5–$20+ per click, especially on banking, investing, and tax-related pages.
3. Trust = Conversions
- Visitors looking for financial help are in “decision mode.”
- This makes them more likely to click on ads or sign up through your affiliate links.
