Hi there. Same with me. I am still thinking about niche which I shall pick for my website, and still do not have any clue what is a good niche for me. Kyle mentioned to complete this sentence "I want to help people to…" but still do not have any idea. How did you come up with your niche?

How specific should your niche be? I'm really interested in all things outdoors. I tentatively chose backpacking as my first niche but I'm worried I'll run out of things to write about specifically related to backpacking. Can I still write about other things that are somewhat related? Like safe wildlife watching, edible plants, best short hikes in southern Utah etc. How specifically do you need to stick to your niche?

Hello,
I think backpacking is a perfect niche! You could write general blogs about:
1. A guide to backpacking in specific areas (as you suggested)
2. How to make friends when backpacking
3. Backpacking safety
4. Things to see in areas you've suggested
You can then think about promoting things like:
1. Travel to that area (train/plane tickets)
2. Bookings to the best/most friendly hostels
3. Insurance
4. Attraction tickets
I would say that as long as there's some relevance to your niche then go ahead and write about it.
I have mental block all the time when trying to think of new things to write about. I find this happens when I'm really trying too hard. Just take a step back and carry on with your day and the ideas will come back to you in no time.
That's why I suggest an interest based niche rather than product because if you're already thinking about it your ideas will come more frequently and naturally.
