Niches - We work in some pretty broad major niches like "yoga". We just identify ones where the players are a few years behind and try to produce better content. My wife's main yoga blog is outranking yogajournal.com for many keywords, a major publication with a print magazine and a team of writers. You just need to be really good with SEO and know how to create great content -- and that's the really difficult part.
There's also not a whole lot of places you can learn that from :/ All the crap SEO gurus are selling is outdated as heck. Also they all sell you shortcuts - because shortcuts are sexy, but the reality is shortcuts don't work for marketing/content creation. I have literally never seen an SEO course/blog that I would approve of... In my case the knowledge came from working at a digital agency, and then building my own sites. The first 2 years were tough.
The turnkey sites offer a great .com domain in a niche that I think is good, a special theme created by me that is designed for speed/caching and displaying ads well. The content is just starter/filler so the site gets some traction in Google (we age the sites 1+ year before selling them). Unfortunately all sites are currently sold out (fortunately for me, I guess).
Ever want to talk/brainstorm, and I'm not looking to charge anything, send me an email to jacob@superslav.com
