    you don't.

    that being said, a lot more sites that people are passionate about make serious money and get serious traffic.

    but if you're passionate about money and can't work on anything, any niche can work.

    I agree. I like writing about something I'm passionate about -- Google. So I write a Google blog. If I were to write about health or something, it's nothing something I'm passionate about so in turn I'm not very bright in that specific niche.

    More passion, more knowledge. I don't recommend writing about something you don't enjoy.

    I don't think that you have to enjoy the niche of the website. I don't think that the founders of youtube were passionate about videos.
    I think you just have to find a good money making idea and try to capitalize on it.

    in my opinion it's not about what is or isn't possible. you can make successful sites that you're not passionate about... but it's just more common for sites people are passionate about to be successful.

    if you have the willpower to work on something you find incredibly boring but you know will make you money, it can definitely work.

    Passionate... maybe. You definitely do need to know what you're writing about though.
