How do you know if you have found a good niche?
If you are struggling to come up with ideas for articles and blog posts for your site, then the chances are you haven't found your best niche yet!
Some people recommend to pick a topic that you are passionate about, and whilst I agree that that CAN be important, I think it goes a little deeper than that.
The best advice I have received so far is to pick something that you will enjoy writing about and can continue to write about and have ideas for on an ongoing basis. I am just embarking on my second site, having picked a topic. Whilst it is not something that immediately came to mind as one of my interests or passions, I realised that it is something I know quite a lot about having researched it and applied the learning to my own life in the past. So now, I can simply share what I have learnt with others through my site. Why does it 'FEEL' like a good niche to me? Because when I sit down to write content, the words and ideas flow freely and I am finding I don't have to think or try too hard. To me, this shows I have chosen well. It is no secret that writing good content is the key to success and so all to often it can become a little stressful or overwhelming to know what to write and this is where procrastination can creep in. So, my advice to you is find something that you will enjoy writing about, rather than just something you enjoy. A subtle and simple difference, but it could just make all the difference.
I wish you all continued success.

Well said. If it flows easily and naturally and as long as it's profitable then that's your best niche.
Ah yes, not forgetting profitability :)
