What Is A Blogging Niche?
A blogging niche is any topic or idea, which we pick according to our interests and skills. Niche blogs or niche websites may point to some specific area such as geological areas, a specific domain industry, ethnic groups, or any picky group of people.
It
might be disagreed that each blog is in some specific form, a distinct
segment (niche) blog, the term because it applies to marketing refers to a
selected reasonable blog. Neither blogging nor niche marketing may be a new
concept. However, only in recent years has the concept of a distinct segment
blog inherit being.
But
before diving into the journey of blogging, we must do brainstorm and
perform certain research on less-competitive blog niches and blog
niches that make money.
Keep in
mind these two things: The first one will help to boost the rank of our blog and the second one will boost our motivation to write more
articles.
Why We Need To Choose A Niche For Our Blog?
We all are clear that the main aim of a blog is to share our thoughts and ideas with audiences all over the world. So why can’t we just share our thoughts and ideas as they appear to us?
Because
our audiences might not be interested in each and every topic we personally
love to work on. If we start blogging on the topic of our interest only it will
be difficult to build an audience base.
On the other hand, if we work on a specific niche of people’s interest, it is
guaranteed that our posts have a high chance of getting liked and will be able
to hold the audience on our website for a long time.
In the
current scenario, everything is digitizing, things are changing a lot, and now
people take blogging as a serious business and we should follow the current
trends. Though there are no strict rules and regulations on blogging about a
distinct niche.
But if
we start our blogging career with a distinct niche, there are higher chances of
getting successful in the near future.
Benefits of Choosing a Distinct Niche:
- We will be more focused on the related topics only.
- We will be able to catch targeted audiences.
- Our website or blog will gain higher authority quickly.
- We will get personal branding.
- We can build our own specific group of community.
- We will get better audience engagement and popularity.
- More Profitable business
- We will be an expert when we are devoted to a specific niche.
- We can easily get blog post ideas.
So, it
might be clear why we should do some brainstorming before confirming a niche
for the blog.
How To Choose The Best Profitable Niche For Our Blog?
It is
very common and easy to blog about what we are passionate about. In fact, most
of the bloggers suggest doing this. But those types of services do not carry
forward our blogging journey in the near future.
None of us really want to read about becoming creative, individuals who are already
creative want to learn how to use their creativity to make things. When we
just focus on those topics, that we are passionate about without targeting the real problem faced by people, then it will be difficult to monetize our blog.
If we are
really concerned about creating money through blogging, we need to pick a niche
that has already proven to be
profitable and is solving the real problems of individuals.
Therefore, to select the perfect niche for our blog we have to keep in mind the following points:
1. Do We Perform Proper Brainstorming Or Research For Our Blog?
While performing brainstorming or research we have to point out the following things:
- Choosing a topic that we are passionate about but no one is interested in it will never build an audience base or earn income.
- Choosing a topic most people are interested in but we do not have any idea can make us keep struggling to write blog posts.
- Choosing a topic of our interest with a decent audience can make us some money as well as an audience base. Here, we will start learning with earning, and after some time we will have much more ideas to perform some challenging tasks.
2. Are We Solving A Real World Problem Of Individuals?
Every search on the internet has a certain purpose
or motive. People use search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo to get
solutions for their problems. People search for queries that will help them, and motivate them to become better and updated versions of themselves.
That’s the point why we need a blog niche, which helps to solve major problems faced by people worldwide.
3. Do We Have Enough Knowledge and Skills About Our Blog Niche?
Knowledge
and skills create the foundation of the blog, without proper knowledge, we
cannot solve the problem of our audiences. It is the same as we want to drive a car,
but we don’t have the skills to drive.
So, before selecting a blog niche we must evaluate, whether we are capable of creating enough value for our audiences, otherwise, we cannot stand out.
4. Does Our Niche Have the Possibility To Make A Profit?
We all have some purpose for blogging and have enough ideas to last for several months. Now
it’s time to think about profit. Creating money from our blog depends on how
much our niche is profitable.
If our blog does not make money through our remarkable, passionate content, it’s a waste of time and effort. There are some ideas to figure out if our niche is good enough to earn money.
- Are there any affiliate schemes available for our blog niche?
- Do other bloggers are making a profit in a similar blog niche?
- Is there any possibility of selling our own product through the blog?
5. Does Our Niche Has Enough Potential?
We need
to perform a competitive analysis to know the potentiality of our selected blog
niche. We can implement competitive
research by exploring some of the high-ranked blogs in our niche.
This will help us to track the information of the traffic, our competitors are receiving on their blogs as well as we can analyze how they are monetizing their blogs. Similarly, we can get their income reports with different sources of income.
6. Does Our Niche Trend Upward on Google Trend?
It is better to avoid those Niche topics that are getting steadily less popular day by day. We have to select those niches that are trending upward on Google Trends. We can compare the search terms in Google Trends, if we are considering two blog niches, it will be beneficial to observe their relative popularity.
7. Can Our Niche Blog Provide Value For a Long Period?
Some blogs succeed by focusing on momentary trends, it takes some time to build a popular blog. We do not want to end up starting again from scratch after six months, so always target to choose a blog niche that provides value for a long period of time.
8. What Types Of Content Should We Publish?
The website content can be grouped into two
categories: Evergreen and News. Evergreen content has been relevant for years,
though it may need some updates over time. News content is highly
interesting for a very short period of time and quickly fades.
Most news-oriented blogs have a huge team of writers
working for them, so they can come up with all the latest news. So, as a
beginner, we must focus on the evergreen blog niche later we move toward the
other.
