Sure. You’re crazy about vintage pez dispensers - but is anyone else? And if so, can you develop a viable online niche around such a topic?

At some point - unless you’re one of the fortunate ones - you’ll have to decide between passion or profits. Sure it’s possible that your pez micro-niche could eventually have a rabid group of followers eager to spend their money for your exquisite vintage pez knowledge. 

But until you do the research, outdo the competition, and get pinpointed traffic - you’ll never know.

Very Hot! 

But you have to move quick!

Capitalize on a product that is currently newsworthy. Maybe a celebrity was spotted carrying it. Or a sports star was photographed with it. Or a politician revealed they enjoy using it.

Find an attractive affiliate program, a simple free template and cheap hosting and see if you can drive some extremely targeted traffic pronto!

Be opportunistic - all the while knowing it may have a short shelf life. Your investment will be minimal but you’ll have fun!
