The sound niche is covered with many affiliate sites in the headphone space, but there’s plenty of other sub-niches to get into, such as music production equipment, DAWs, soundbars, audiobooks etc. Sound is a part of most technology we use these days, which creates an endless amount of opportunities.
The smart home niche also includes lots of related sound technology such as the Amazon Echo, Google Home, soundbars, Bluetooth speakers etc.
Although reviews of sound and audio equipment are great ways to get into the sound space, there’s plenty of other angles to enter it, such as troubleshooting audio issues for technology and electronics.
Music production is one of the biggest sub-niches within this space and is being shaken up like many industries with the use of AI for producing digital music.
Status: Sound will always remain relevant in some capacity with plenty of opportunities, especially in the technology and electronics space with stuff like headphones.
