Just a quick word first on Niche Blogging. Niche Blogging is what it sounds like: finding a niche and blogging about it. This is a popular way to blog for the purpose of making money online whether you are selling a product in a niche such as a dog training manual or if you are selling yourself in a niche such as a real estate flipping expert. Some hobbyists already have a ready-to-go-niche in their hobby. Some others are just looking tonline for ideas to start a niche business. Here are five steps to find a niche and also to determine if a niche you have picked will be a good one to blog about.
With that little intro out of the way, here are five steps to finding a good niche to start a blog about.
First: It is a good idea if there is already money being spent in that niche. Money being spent usually means a niche which is desirable and will get traffic whether or not you plan to monetize your blog. While some people want to try and create something brand new, Niche Blogging has a little bit about what is already proven. If there is money in the niche, your Niche Blog is a way of being able to stick your hand in that flow of money.
Second: you have to ask yourself whether or not you have a product or service that you can sell to the niche market. Niche marketing is all about selling products and services. Therefore, do not make the mistake of finding a niche for which there are no products or services that you can turn around and sell to people who are interested. If you don't have your own product, there are many other products out there you can still sell whether it is through resell rights or through affiliate marketing.
Third: Now that you have a crowd of buyers and a product to sell, you need to focus and take action in your niche. Many internet marketers fail because of distraction from the overwhelming amount of information on the internet regarding internet marketing. Or they fail because of impatience. Niche marketing and any online marketing takes time to build so being able to focus and do daily tasks in your niche marketing business is a must.
Fourth: Pick a niche that interests you. Pick something that if all else fails at least you are intersted in what you are doing. If you are really interested in basketball, why then choose a niche blog about wedding planning? A lot of internet marketing is trial and error and tedious tasks: being intersted in your niche will make it fun for you and then before you know it you'll find you have traffic to your blog from the niche community you are targeting.
Fifth: pick a niche you can compete in. This means make sure that the competition is not too thick, and that the supply of information (niche sites) does not drown you out. It's okay to make it a fight for yourself to try and conquer your niche, but make sure you have a reasonable chance too as well.
Keeping these five things in mind, use them and try many different niches. It takes experience, trial and error, and a bit of luck to succeed. If you do not succeed at first, don't let it bother you too much. Just keep trying and keep thinking about all five factors: a good buyer niche, a good product, willingness to do all the daily tasks, a niche that you are interested in, and a reasonable chance to succeed with the competition in that niche.
Because it is so cheap to start a blog and get an online business, it will ultimately be up to you to succeed and fail often to get a feel for how appealing a niche will be TO YOU. By following this advice, you will be able to find a niche, and successfully employ a variety of niche marketing techniques that can make you a lot of money. Go out, do some research, start a blog, and we'll see you next time.
