The most common question I've been receiving is along the lines of "I'm having a tough time finding the perfect niche. How do I find one?"
What's worked for me is only going in on industries/niches that interest me. You'll never hear me talking about creating a diabetes weight loss blog. For me, I have no interest in that topic. Even if it's "the perfect niche".

Yes, it is very important to pick a niche you are interested in. So many people try to jump on the bandwagon of a niche that is supposed to be popular but they know nothing about. If it is popular it will be that much more competitive and you will get burned out trying to learn about something and write about something that you have no interest in. Your site will also feel less authentic if you pick a niche you don't care about.
It is easier, more enjoyable and more authentic to pick a niche you either know a lot about already and/or you are really interested in and want to learn about. If you are offering information to people in a field you care about that will make you a respected authority rather than someone just trying to sell something.
