Things to Consider Before Choosing a Niche

Passion Alone Isn’t Enough. It must also help others.

Too Broad vs Too Narrow. “Fitness” is broad. “Home workouts for beginners” is better.

Tips

  • Look for Questions People Ask. Questions reveal real demand.
  • Check Affiliate Availability. No products = no commissions.

What Makes a Good Niche

A good niche:

  • Solves problems
  • Has products
  • Allows long-term content

Example:
A beginner chooses “budget home office setups” and builds trust through guides.

FAQs

Q: Can I change niches later?
Yes, many successful marketers do.

This was a good effort, Paul.

With Jays comment, maybe do some more research and rewrite this blog?

Paul,
Absolutely incorrect.

This is not very sound advice and is steering any reader in the wrong direction.
