These are five of the business ideas with the most communities teaching them on this site, each with what its middle community charges and how large it is. For every niche side by side in one table, see what different niches charge.

How to read them

A high price is not a quality signal and a low one is not a bargain. What a price tells you is who a niche is aimed at, and that is worth knowing before you decide which room you belong in. Price and size do not move together here either: a niche can charge a lot and still have large rooms.

What this list deliberately does not do

  • Rank the ideas. The order above is not a judgement, we have no basis for saying which is better and will not pretend otherwise.
  • Tell you what any of them pays. No platform publishes that, so nobody reading listings can tell you, us included.
  • Claim to be complete. Neither platform publishes a full index, so this covers what we track and says so.

If you want the version that asks about your situation rather than making you read a table, the quiz narrows the same directory down by answering six questions.
