If you’re planning on blogging for money, take a look at an article on ProBlogger called “Is Your Niche Nichy Enough? A Tale of Two Adsense Blogs“. This gives a very quick overview on how creating a site that targets a smaller market is possibly better than a site a very broad topic.
By now, you probably know pro-blogging success (AKA making money) depends on finding the right niche. Focus on a specific topic, and you draw readers interested in researching and potentially buying something related to that topic. Whether you’re into affiliate programs or pay-per-click advertising, it’s easy to capitalize on a niche audience.
Finding a niche can be really simple, and yet, why don’t we all find one?
One tip I can offer when trying to come up with a Niche: Think about something you enjoy doing, or even just researching, take it down to a granular level, and talk about that.
As the writer of the ProBlogger article shows, instead of writing about “warmth in the home”, which could mean fireplaces, as well as heaters, blankets, slippers, etc., they took ONE of these topics and focused on that.
