Same Question.Seeking Different Answers

Someone's blog today was clickbait for me. Nonetheless, I enjoyed reading the post. The title was, Have You Chosen A Difficult Niche?

Since I think mine is difficult, I was pulled in.

The question I have asked about my niche is, Can you run out of keywords for a niche?

I got a bounty of responses. Everyone seemed to say no. I got lists of keywords for my niche. I also received suggestions to write product reviews.

My niche is elderberries.

At face value, the lists looked wonderful. But most of those keywords proved to be of little or no benefit because they just did not get much traffic.

So, alas, I think I have chosen a difficult niche.

When writing about elderberries, their benefits do not change from post to post. The forms of supplements they come in never change. The product reviews… Quite frankly, I have run out of them.

I even told people how to make elderberry juice, elderberry syrup, and gummies. This was really big of me because, quite frankly, I don’t want them to make these supplements. I want them to purchase them.

So. Heavy sigh. I do believe that soon I will run out of new things to write about elderberries. Maybe this means a new niche?

Here's An Example

Today I wrote a blog entitled Elderberry Tea Health Benefits. I also have one entitled, Elderberry Tea Bags, What's In It For Me? and Is It Okay To Drink Elderberry Tea Everyday? And finally, Is Elderberry Tea Good For You?

I have done pretty much the same thing with Elderberry juice and gummies.

So. If I am doing something wrong with the keywords or if there is anything at all that you can help with...except giving me keywords that don't get traffic, I will dance at your wedding. On the table, no less! Swing from the chandeliers in celebration!

Thank you, Andre. You are very nice to give me this list. I actually responded to some of your lists in my response to JD below. Here is some of what I said.

Without taking up pages of explanation, it is a bit difficult to explain how this niche does not give me much to write about WITHOUT BEING REPETITIVE. That is my dilemma.

I understand with your list, it would appear that the problem is solved. But because when writing about the health benefits of elderberry, the topics that are listed individually are covered simultaneously or all together. It almost has to be or I would be writing one or two-paragraph posts,

To give you an idea of what I mean, I have copied a snippet from one of my posts here.

Boosts immune function: Elderberries contain antioxidants and vitamin C, which can help support overall immune function and protect against free radical damage.

Fights colds and flu: The antiviral properties of elderberries make them effective at fighting off colds and flu. Elderberries have been shown to reduce the duration and severity of flu symptoms.

Reduces inflammation: Elderberries have anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation in the body. Inflammation is a major contributor to many chronic diseases, including heart disease and cancer.

Supports heart health: The antioxidants in elderberries can help improve heart health by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.

May improve brain function: Some studies suggest that elderberries may improve brain function and protect against cognitive decline.

Some variation of this appears in a lot of my posts along with additional health benefits. So, I just want you to understand that I have not thrown up the flag quickly. And I am not now. I just feel that I am starting to be repetitive and that this is a narrow niche.

You have still given me some additional keywords that I will check on the traffic and search results.
Thanks once again for the time you have taken to help me, Andre.

I know you have done some but it can also be a good idea to twist and tweak some of the ideas in a different format or question

For example, you have a post on gummies, where you are given the external link for them to buy from which is great but above is an idea to make your own which can be an informational post, and if someone would prefer to purchase the gummies instead of making them you already have a post to do your internal link and vice-versa.

Andre!
You are golden. It is so nice that you have taken the time to give me all of this information. I appreciate it so very much. Thank you.

Hazel

You are very welcome there are so many options when we think outside the box wishing you well

Andre

Right! I have saved this blog so that I will be able to refer to it. I wish you well also!

Hazel

Cheers Hazel enjoy the rest of your week ahead.

Andre :)

Could it be that your niche is too specific?

JD

3

See, JD? This is exactly what I am thinking. If I had known at the beginning what I know now about a niche, I would not have chosen elderberry tea. I would have chosen tea.

Even though some would say this is too broad, I would have had the opportunity to narrow it down.
There is a wealth of information about tea that I could write about.

Without taking up pages to write this, it is a bit difficult to explain how this niche does not give me much to write about WITHOUT BEING REPETITIVE.

That is my dilemma.

Here's a good example. As I look above and see Andre's comment, it would appear that the problem is solved. But because when writing about the health benefits of elderberry, the topics that are listed individually are covered simultaneously or altogether.

They would almost have to be or I would be writing one or two-paragraph posts to not be repetitive,

So, yeah...I think you are correct. But I will continue trying to find different ways to write about elderberries to see what occurs.

Thanks for your comment.

Hazel

1

Could you change your niche to Tea anyway? Then you could talk about Regular Tea vs. Herbal Tea, other Teas, Different flavors, etc...

I think you have probably thought about this, but this is all I can think of now.

Good Luck

JD

1

Well, I have gotten some pretty good advice from Andre, Brenda, and others. I will move on that but also think about changing my niche. My websites name is myelderberry and I don’t think I can change that. I will see how it goes with using some of the keywords that they have suggested. I am lamenting that I did not think more about this earlier. Thanks very much for checking in JD.

Hazel

1

Maybe you could make another website about Teas. Link to the first till you can incorporate what you have on myelderberry and then shut that one down or sell it.

JD

That's an idea. Thanks for it, JD!

Hazel

Isn't there Elderberry wine too, Hazel?

Jeff

Yup. I even wrote about this in one of my blogs. When I was young, my grandmother told me that little old ladies with white lace handkerchiefs drank elderberry wine. I don't know what the handkerchiefs have to do with anything! lol!
Thanks for your comment, Jeff!

Hazel

Haha, Hazel! Who knows? Maybe that wine made them tear up!

Jeff

lol!!! and they daintily wipe the tears. Thanks, Jeff, I needed the laugh. Have a good day!

Hazel

🤣🤣😹 You're very welcome, Hazel!

Jeff

Sometimes we forget how to think outside of the box.

Elderberries -
how are they grown?
( You can offer growing tips, tools, etc. You're not infringing on the gardening niche)

Elderberries - used for dyeing materials (provide sources to find clothing,)

There is a whole world out there about Elderberries - more thsn just tea....grin.

Rudy

Thank you for your response, Rudy.

So as not to write an epistle, I only mentioned tea here.

Also, the one thing I did not mention is that my niche is elderberries as a health supplement. So, I have given information on the medicinal benefits.

I have written about elderberry syrup, juice, capsules, gummies, tea, and tincture. These are health supplements. I have even told people how to make these even though my object is to have them make purchases from my affiliate links.

Some of my posts have included giving information about the elderberry plant, where it is grown, how to pick it etc.

And so that brings me to a narrowing of new things on which to write.
Thanks again for your comment on my blog.

Hazel

1

You're welcome. From all of the replies here, Im sure you have more topics to select.

Rudy

1

Honestly I don't think it's your niche. It could be your presentation. I love your niche. It's a very old powerful plant. It needs to be addressed like that.

1

Hello Jimmie -
I am not sure what you mean by my "presentation".
I have covered it as a plant that is centuries old even. I have covered the medicinal value ad nauseum. I have covered the health benefits and all the forms that are available.
So, there we are. Thank you for your comment!

Hazel

1

I'm just thinking creatively. Your headline is it a headline that makes you say woohoo. Like you said you did it over and over. The same thing 😉 Get creative with it. You feel me. Be a traveler go inside the system that's critiquing your work and talk to it. You have to excuse me I'm different. Peace

1

I have the answer for. you in PM its long list.

3

Thanks

1

Awww, come on, Bren....
Please share....grin.

Rudy

2

Brenda!
You are very kind to do this.
I think I neglected to say that I am focusing on the health benefits of elderberry. Your list is comprehensive but does not do this in most cases. Also, most of the keywords listed get little or no traffic. And, herein lies one of the issues I face, Most of the keywords...I also asked ChatAI...do not get traffic.
So I will continue to search through your list to see if anything new comes up for me.

Thanks once again for the time you spent doing this for me.

HAZEL

Thanks...I responded below. I appreciate you, Brenda!

Hazel

1

Brenda, I do not want to be seen as negative.

I thought that I was following the instructions that the keywords should have traffic. Are you telling me now that I do not have to do this?

I really appreciate the help. Please know that I want to be open minded. Am I not understanding how to use keywords? Thanks!

2

I want to 2nd what Brenda mentioned.

You are so focused on what you think you need to write about, that you are not seeing all of the opportunities offered to you here in the replies.

My suggestion is to step away for a few hours, and find something else to do, that way, when you return, you can come back to the elderberry topic with fresh eyes.

Sometimes when we peer too intently, we lose sight of the main point, which is, writing about the benefits of Elderberries.

Take time away, and when you return, make a list, literally hand write the replies that offer suggestions of other topic ideas. Then you will see the goldmine that you have in front of you.

Rudy

Thanks for this advice, Rudy.

Brenda sent a PM that is also helpful. I thought that the keywords need traffic for me to use them. She is showing other options also.

Thanks again.

Hazel
