Great question!
There are two good ways to go about this.
1- The high quality route - Find current writers who know their shit on the niche topic. They can be bloggers, journalists, forum members, article writers, etc. What you can do is contact them individually (takes time, I know, but it's quality). Ask them if they'd be interested in writing on that topic, let them know that it's mutually beneficial (if it is), etc. If they aren't interested, DON'T hassle them, just ask them if they can provide any references for people they may know who may be interested in it. Sometimes you can find the best writers this way, without even having to know them in the first place.
2- Less quality (usually, but not always) - Outsource it with a freelance writer or buy the content from a content company/freelance writers company. Sure, you may not be getting writers who's job or passion it is to write about the niche topic you want, but they will generally do the research that takes time, and write you an exclusive article or whatever it is you need done. The only thing that sucks, is it will cost money. Very rarely you will find one of these guys or companies willing to barter, but on the other hand, the content is yours forever and you can do whatever you want with it.
