Niche Finder-Three Methods to identify suitable niche for your blog

You got a desire to start a blog but got stuck that what kind of blog should you start?

You are in a never-ending battle of how to choose a blog niche that makes money.

I know the feeling. I had the same problem when I decided to create a blog. It took time to figure out what topic or niche is right for me.

When a person starts a blog it is difficult to stay with that niche for a long time. They switch to another website or create many websites.

There are 2 reasons for that

1. The first reason is, sometimes they get bored or feel like lack of content for their niche
2. Another reason if they did not start to earn money on their niche they tend to go for a new niche.

Good for you! Here I have a solution to choose a suitable niche.

Choose a blog niche that takes your online business for a long run

In order to take your online business for a long run, your niche must have these four qualities

1. Passion-You must have an interest in your niche. Choose a blog niche such that you must be interested to gain knowledge on that over the period of time.
2. Trending topics- Identify niche which has topics that might go trending and viral in the future.
3. Large search- Find a niche where people search largely for a solution. Get high demand blog topics.
4. Profitable- Choose niche which has real business value and provides a profit.

Let's see an example. I have interest on 'PC Games'. There will be updates and trending discussions on PC games whenever there is a new release.

People who are interested in PC games will search for reviews or how to download. I will provide information through my website.

I also suggest game accessories like keyboard, game mouse, etc to buy from Amazon and other gaming stores to earn commission for the sale.

Have you got that straight?

Let's take a further look at how to pick a blog topic.

Methods to Pick a Blog Topic

Method #3 is really fun!

Method 1- Turn your passion into the business

Make your interest or passion into the business.

1. Take a pen and list out all your interests and hobbies.
2. Rate yourself how much knowledge you have on each out of 5.
3. Select all the topics which are above 3.
4. Find out the topics in which you are interested to learn and know more about it.
5. At this step, if you are selecting more than one topic, decide which one is you are more passionate about.

With these five steps, you must be able to make a decision on the niche for your blog.

Still not convinced?

Go for the next method.

Method 2- Daily routine as business

The simple truth is most of us like to write about what we do.

List out the topics which you are doing in your daily routine.

This may be anything: reading books, sports you play, playing the guitar, cooking, parenting, teaching, DIY artwork, etc.

It is better to choose what you do regularly as a niche. You have experience and knowledge about the topic.

Obviously, you will be interested to learn more on that. This will sustain for a longer period to make business.

Method 3 - Trial and Error writing

I tried this method and even I was surprised at the result!

Use the first and second method to get a blog niche list.

If you are confused to decide between 2 niches or interested in more that one niche, follow the below steps.

1. Create a free website
2. Write articles on any one niche until you get bored or lack of content.
3. If you feel dried up on the topic and writing contents on this niche, stop it.
4. Create another free website and start to write on another niche.
5. If you are still not comfortable with 2 niches, you can create another one.
6. When you decide to take your blog to next level convert the free website into your own website.

This is a trial and error method. I tried this method and created free websites on many niches.

Over a period of time, I got interested in a particular niche and started to learn more about it. Gradually I am able to create more content.

Later, I converted that free website into my own and started as an online business.

There are few advantages on following this method.

1. By the time you decide on taking one of your free websites to next level you already have a lot of contents in your blog.
2. You can drive traffic and directly start making money with AdSense or affiliate marketing
3. Now you have one or more free websites with a lot of content. If you wish to convert all your free website into your own website you can do it.
4. You can turn all the free websites into business sites.
5. It is easy to monetize all websites through Adsense.

This method takes a longer time. Go for this method if you want to start your business slowly or as part-time.

It is easy to create free websites with WordPress.com. You can convert it into your business Website anytime.

Hang on a minute!

Bear with me, because I'm going to show you the most important part

Create high demand blog topics

When you do this you can find 10 times better blog topics that make money!

Let me explain. It is easier than you think.

Once you decide on a niche, narrow it down.

For instance, you choose 'fashion' as your niche. There are women fashion, men fashion, kids and teen fashion, etc.

If you choose 'teen fashion', you can further narrow it down to 'teen summer outfit', 'teen fashion accessories' etc.

Narrow down the niche and create content on that particular topic. Gain knowledge on that topic and create authority over Website.

If you start to write about 'teen outfit', cover all ideas about this topic. Then move to 'teen accessories'. It is good to focus on a particular niche and then broaden it.

In short, no niche is a bad niche. If you choose niche wisely you can make money with Affiliate Marketing

Take Action. Action leads to Success!
