Choosing a Niche You Love

Hello WA Friends,

I have a quick post today to discuss why it's important to choose a niche that you enjoy writing about. I've been a member here for 18 months or so on and off. Since joining in 2016, I quit and came back twice. I have always wanted to figure out how to monetize something I enjoy writing about, but it has been a struggle to find the right niche.

I started out writing about gluten-free cooking but found it incredibly hard to do on nights when I didn't feel like cooking! I left WA and came back this past fall and started a website in web development. It was actually starting to convert, and I thought that I had finally nailed it!

The only problem: I hate writing about web development. Honestly, I like to do it, but I am really more engaged with web design, and I struggled to write about the topics in a logical, step-by-step fashion. The words did not flow easily and I felt stuck.

Not one to give up again, I decided to try one more time. I started a blog on writing, and I have decided to join the WA affiliate program to teach other writers and artists how to create a blog that they can monetize.

The difference in my level of enjoyment and engagement is ASTOUNDING. I am having a blast. I am already getting comments from people outside of WA. Okay, two of them are from my mom, but hey, you have to start somewhere and there are comments from people who I don't recognize.

I plan to make some money with this thing, but even if I don't, it's something I would do anyway. And that's a question you can ask yourself if you're just starting out: Is this something that I can sustain for a year without making money? If the answer is yes, you're good to go!

And if you're new, don't worry if you choose a niche that isn't quite right for you initially. You can change it later if you need to. Best of luck, and I hope you are all enjoying creating your content as much as I am!

Glad to hear you found your niche.
Jerry

Thanks, Jerry!

You've won your niche on imagery alone Laura. Nice job! :)

Oh, thank you! That's very kind of you.

Love it! Sometimes we might be afraid to try different things. I think we should try until we find a niche or 2 that we love!

Best wishes,
Karin

Thanks, Karin, and best wishes to you, too! It is much easier to put in the time when you love your niche.

You just needed some time to find what really, truly, inspired you and now you are on fire.
And thanks to good ole'mom! She got the ball rolling.
All the best to you. We love your tenacity!
Colette and Philip

Many thanks! Luckily I am just stubborn enough to keep going :)
