Choosing a Niche for your blog

Choosing a Niche for your blog

Choosing a niche for your blog is the single most important part of the setting up a blog process.

Your success will be determined by how well you research your niche for potential traffic, and how much interest you have in the main niche topic.

If you are setting out blogging and are looking for a niche to blog about, here are a few considerations;

1/ Blog about something you know
2/ Blog about something that interests you
3/ Blog about something that has popularity
4/ Blog about something scalable

You blog needs to be timeless.

Even though many posts will be relevant to a particular time or date, if you had for example set up www.londonolympicsblog.com in 2007 when London was confirmed, and may well have written hundreds of pages of content, you would now be a bit stuck, because the event has happened and your blog is no longer relevant.

 If instead, you had created a blog about Athletics, and included a section about London 2012 then your blog would still be capable of working.

Finding a niche for your blog that interests you is vital, because in order to make your blog popular, you are going to be writing new content for it on a regular basis.

If you are not passionate about your niche, you will soon struggle to generate high quality content that your readers will be interested in.
