Selecting right niche for YOU, is all about your passion
Now and then I see WA members especially new ones ask If that niche is good and so on.
This is really important question, but it is always asked wrong way.
Instead of asking
"Is ... niche good?" you should ask "Is .... niche good for ME" and you should ask this question yourself!
To be successful in your Niche you will need:
Expertize
Obvious one, you can't convince any one to click a link or make a purchase of item or service you suggest if you wont be able to proof that you know what you are talking about it. You will have to do a lot of research and follow news and updates related to your niche.
Commitment
Another obvious one, you will need to be committed to achieve previous point.
Passion
Probably not so obvious one, but look on it this way, If you will try to do niche you have no passion about, you will have way more difficulties achieving both pints above.
If you select a niche what is your passion, you will have natural motivation to learn to commit and to be good at it. You will have no problems to show you passion in your blog and users will feel it and will know they can trust you.
Don't worry if at this stage you do not have much knowledge about your niche, because if you have passion, you will have commitment and after a while you will become a guru.

Marketing is the art of influencing buyer behaviour and no one is influenced by your expertise or qualifications they are influenced in by what's in it for them
To prove my point I will ask you this question
When you last purchased something, did you want to find out about the expertise of the person selling you the item, or was it just the price that made you buy the product
Stop concentrating on you and start learning about your audience because that is how successfully business sell things
All Google thinks about is the end user, they want to know how we think and how we feel, and armed with this information they have created a multi billion dollar organisation
