Finding Your Blog Niche
You may think finding a niche for your blog will be easy as you’re probably thinking, "Can’t you just find out which niche is most profitable and work from there?"
Absolutely, positively not. First, you need to ask yourself six essential questions:
Are you interested in the niche?
- This is no doubt the most important question to ask yourself.
To run a blog successfully you will need to do countless hours of research and even more time adding content to your blog. Therefore if you have no genuine interest in what you are writing about, you will very quickly loose motivation for your blog. Additionally if you pick a niche that you are interested in, usually you will already have some previous knowledge about the topic.
Is the niche too specific or too general?
- Try not to make your niche too specific because your blog will not appeal to a large enough audience. Likewise, don’t make your niche too general because in most cases, the competition will be too high and you will be unable to engage with your audience at the same level as a more specific niche. For example, instead of having a blog targeting football, you could have a blog about a specific team or fans in a specific country or state.
Who will I be targeting?
- It is important to know who your audience will be. For example, if you made a blog for senior citizens, you should be aware that those in this group who are the oldest, may use the internet as compared to those who are younger. Likewise, if you were targeting a specific country, city, or town, do many people have internet access in that area?
Will it be easy to advertise?
- If you are looking to make a blog that will receive large amounts of traffic this question applies to you. Things you may look into could include how many search results there are in Google, are there many similar sites where you could exchange links, are there any forums about this topic and do these forums allow signature links?
Who are my competitors?
- If you are already familiar with your niche, you would be aware of the various authority sites. Look for things that you can do differently that will make people want to read your blog instead of other blogs and websites.
- This point is not relevant to everyone and you should not pick a niche on this point alone. If you have made a list of several niches that you are interested in, then you might decide to pick the most profitable out of the list. However, keep in mind that the more passionate you are about the niche, the more work you will do and the more work you do, the more revenue you will make. By asking yourself the above questions you will be able to pick the right niche for you to start a blog.
This may take some time however, so keep in mind that it is time well spent. There is nothing worse than setting up a website that you are not interested in and seeing it fail after a few months. Picking a niche using the above questions will ensure your blog becomes popular and makes revenue.
