Basically anything finance would pay well. But I’m not USA. It’s much more competitive now.

Just find any industry that has high margins for each marginal sale. That means there’s lots of marketing being spent.

Or a new product/industry/problem where it’s hard to find info.

This is basically B2B media, which has been around forever. We built a very profitable company about writing content that people in niche industries need to do their jobs, and then selling ads around it.
Though I was focusing on consumers. Pretty much all xxx/hr services fall into the high marginal profit category.

But so can cars, even if the manufacturer is losing money, they do much better with each extra vehicle they can sell.

There are many factors that go into what industries we cover and who within that industry we write for, but the biggest one is probably that they all make buying decisions for stuff that costs a lot of money: https://www.industrydive.com/industries/
