Free · The Niche Hit List
The hardest part of starting an AI agency is picking the niche. Here are 50 that still work.
The Niche Hit List is 50 niches where demo-based outbound still gets replies, ranked by how little competition and how much budget each one has. No fluff, no 200-page PDF. A list you can actually pick from and start.
- Stop guessing which niche to start with and second-guessing it a week later.
- See where demo-based outbound still has room before you send a single message.
- Pick one, pull a list, and start, instead of staying stuck on the choice.

What each niche is scored on
Three tests. Fifty niches. One you can start this week.
Still gets replies
Niches where a personalized demo in the inbox still lands, because the market is not already drowning in the same five AI pitches.
Has the budget
Every niche is weighed on whether the businesses in it actually have money to spend and a problem worth paying to fix.
Low competition
Ranked by how crowded the niche already is, so you spend your first weeks on prospects, not on fighting for attention.
I run an AI automation agency with real paying clients. I built the software that runs it. This is the same list I would hand someone starting today, and I will never sell you a course.
