This article may contain *affiliate links. Please see our affiliate disclosure for more details

This is going to be an ongoing endeavor I think.  There are so many sports sub-niches.  Hundreds, maybe thousands.  Then you multiply that with the number of micro-niches and you have the potential for 10’s of thousands of profitable sports blogs. 

It really is quite astonishing, the sheer number of options there are when it comes to starting a sports blog.

Each piece of equipment is a potential micro-niche.  How many types and brands of baseball gloves are there?  I don’t know I am asking. 

But each one can be tested and used and reviewed and written about to start a baseball blog.

Each Jersey of every NFL team over the years has its own history and backstory that you could write about. 

So when I give them 5 or 10 suggestions for a micro-niche sports blog, know that there are hundreds more for each sport. 

Hundreds more for each sub-niche and even the micro-niches can be broken down further in many cases.

These are simply meant to get your creative juices flowing.  Choose one of these micro-niches or find your own perfect sports passion to write about.  Getting started is tough and being patient enough to reap the rewards is going to be even tougher.

This is the first step to take to create your own sports blog.

So let’s get started.

There Is Just Something About Owning Your Own Business. Being Your Own Boss. Building Something From The Ground Up With Your Own Hands. Especially When It Is This Easy To Get Started.

A Look At Sports Micro-Niches

Archery

We begin out sub-niche ideas with Archery.  This niche is a little outside the mainstream in terms of sports audiences.  However, there is more than enough interest and traffic to support this sports niche year-round.  There are quite a few places you can take an archery site.

Micro-Niche Ideas For Archery

• Target Archery
• Competitive Archery
• Bow and Equipment Reviews
• Bow Saftey
• Bow Hunting
• Youth Archery
• Vintage Archey Blog
• Specific Bow Types – Composite, Longbow, etc.
• Trick Shots
• DIY Crafting Your Own Bows And Arrows

Numerous micro-niches are extremely viable to make a great income.  And competition is going to be a little less than the more mainstream sports niches.

Sticking with one micro-niche is ok, but combining a couple of them is really going to give you the content you need to really excel with this niche.

Baseball

America’s pastime.  One of Americas most beloved and oldest professional sports.  The possibilities with this sports sub-niche are limitless.  There are great interest and traffic for this sport year-round but it really picks up during the season and especially during the MLB playoffs.

Micro Niche Ideas For Baseball

• Youth Baseball Skills and Drills

• General MLB Blog

I am going to cap it at 10 micro-niches just because it would take up the rest of this article.  There are so many little micro-niches that you can start in and really make a great income with some good content and a little bit of time.  Even among the micro-niches, you can break it down further.  A blog about the Cubs and their history might be a great idea for a blog for example.

Basketball

Another one of the four major American sports.  While the NBA doesn’t have the history of Major League Baseball it has certainly caught up to it in terms of popularity.  The basketball niche is seen as one of the coolest and most relevant sports in the US and they are expanding overseas more than any other American Sport.

This gives your basketball blog a potential worldwide reach that many of the other sports can rival.

Micro-Niche Ideas For Basketball

So many really great possibilities for starting your own basketball blog.  And monetizing it won’t be a problem there are dozens of partner programs for this niche that you can draw from.

Boxing

The sweet science has taken a hit in recent years.  Falling behind MMA and other combat sports in popularity.  But that doesn’t mean there is no market for it.  In fact, now might be the perfect time to get your boxing blog started.  The competition is lower and the popularity is just starting to rise again.

Micro-Niche Ideas For Boxing

One last thing to note is that this is a great niche to use on youtube.  If you can create videos of your teaching and training and having a look at the sport to complement your written blog you can really create something special.

Cycling

Cycling and biking is a huge niche.  There are so many different aspects that you could choose to pursue.  From professional racing of all types. Endurance, Speed, Extreme, etc.  to just regular leisurely biking trips.  Everything is fair game and you can draw from many of the same partners for all the cycling micro-niches

Micro-Niche Ideas For Cycling

• Professional Cycling Tour Blogs
• History of Cycling
• Tour De France Blog
• Stationary Cycling and Fitness
• Bicycle Repair Blog
• Extreme Sports Biking
• Build/Customize Your Own Bikes
• Mountain Biking
• Speed Cycling
• Bicycle, Cycling Gear, and Apparel Trends and Reviews

The important thing here is to stay focused on your micro-niche and very closely related niches.  Trying to have a little something for everyone is probably not a great idea even within the cycling niche.  People interested in mountain biking are probably not the same people who are fans of The Tour de France.  There will be some cross over but try and stay in your lane as it were.

E-sports

This micro-niche could fall under both the video game and sports niches.  But I decided to stick it in here.  There are quite a few micro-niches that you could go to within the E-sports niche.  The real issue here is that it is still very new and some of the micro-niches might not be around in the near future.

Micro-Niche Ideas For E-Sports

• Focus On A Single Genre
• Focus On A Specific League
• Fan Blog Of Your Favorite Team
• Training And Practice Blog
• Tips And Tricks For A Popular Game
• Analyze Gameplay On Youtube

This is one of the few sub-niches where I would recommend a broader approach to your content creation even if you are just starting out.  This niche is still in its infancy and you want to protect your self from fads as much as possible. Find some great e-sports affiliates in our article.

With that said, this is a visual niche.  Publishing a good amount of your content on Twitch or Youtube is going to be a necessity to really excel at this sporting niche. For a more in-depth look at the eSports Niche check out our article here.

Football

The most popular sport in America.  Whether it is the professional game or the beloved college football game there is seemingly no stopping this juggernaut anytime soon.  Some have predicted the downfall of football for years now but it keeps on keeping on.  And there is no shortage of the type of micro-niches you can enter to start your blog.

Micro-Niche Ideas For Football

• Football Coaching Blog
• Favorite NFL Team Blog
• History Of Football
• Football Helmets Blog
• Best Football Equipment Guides
• Football Snack Helmets Guide  –  Yes really

The key here is to pick something you are going to enjoy writing about and that can generate enough interesting content.  Why would anyone check out your articles about the history of the football helmet?  You would be surprised at just how interested a lot of people are about that stuff.

But don’t stop there, expand into the history of the football, the goalposts and on and on.  As long as the content is good and interesting people will come to read about it.

---

Golf

The funny thing about golf is that one day you might be pretty good at it the next you look like you have never played a round of golf before.  There are a lot of people out there that are in the same boat and looking for some helpful information.  Why can’t you be the one to help.  If you play golf frequently write about what works for you.

You can also start a blog of a more observational type.  Building great content around golf equipment or professional tours and players.  Good interesting content knows no bounds.

Micro-Niche Ideas For Golf

• Golf Balls
• Golf Shoes
• Rate And Review Golf Clubs

You need to love the game to write about it.  You don’t need to be a scratch golfer to start your own blog about golf.  In fact, your readers might be able to relate to you even better if they know that you have the same struggles on a golf course that they do.

Write some content on how you got better a putting.  Or drives or how you deal with the wind.  It is all valid and helpful and your readers will thank you for it.

Hockey

Hockey at the youth level has never been more popular.  Not just in the US but in many countries around the world.  This might be the right time to build your blog around teaching the game or the history of the game to the next generation of players.  Or focus on equipment and find the best hockey sticks for your readers.  Lot’s of Possibilities.

MMA

MMA is still growing in popularity.  Even though its meteoric rise has slowed a little bit in recent years there is still a huge amount of interest.  But the competition is very tough for this niche so you will need to find a micro-niche to maximize this niche.

Tennis

Tennis is an interesting sport to blog about.  Not only do you have your standard training type blogs and your fan and professional tour blog.  You also have your weekend hitter blogs.  Many communities have their own mini-leagues so the number of people looking for tennis information and tips goes well beyond your typical sports fan.
