Tips on Finding a Niche

By now, you’ve heard us talking about how finding a niche is important to your blogging process. After all, that’s what niche blogging is all about. But, perhaps you need a little extra instruction. Well, there is a certain trick to identifying a good niche but this article will help you demystify the process.
What is a niche?
So, what is a niche anyway? Simply put, a niche is a defined subject within a larger subject. For example, “Health and Fitness” is too broad of a category for our purposes. You will need to find a sub category or even better, a category within that to find a decent niche. For example, a sub category in the “health and fitness” topic would be “weight loss”. Even more concentrated than that is “weight loss for women”.
Find the Larger Categories
So in order to find a niche, you need to first identify the larger categories. Health and Fitness is one good example but there are more. Home and Garden is another. Once you identify what the broader categories are, you can at least decide if that’s an area you want to focus on.
Narrow it Down
Once you identify the larger categories, your next step is to narrow things down a little more. Think about the broad category that you want to focus on. Then, f ind sub categories and at least category after that. This will be your niche. The more you can narrow it down, the better. Just don’t narrow it down too much or you won’t get the traffic.
Create Your Blog
Once you find your niche, it’s time to start doing some niche blogging. Start a blog about the subject you chose, put posts on it, and find ways to bring in money such as with Adsense and affiliate programs. The process of finding a niche is the essence of what niche blogging is all about.
