So, you’ve decided to start a blog. Now what? It’s time to decide your topic. Most bloggers recommend that you narrow down your blog topic. Of course, this depends on your reason for starting a blog, but we’ll get into that. There is a lot to think about when deciding a niche for your blog. Keep reading to find out how to choose the best niche for your blog.
I have also made a quiz to help you decide what the best niche for you blog is. Keep in mind, there are other possible niches that aren’t in the quiz.
First of all, what does a niche even mean?
A niche is what your blog talks about. It’s hard to talk about anything and everything, so you need to narrow down your focus. What exactly are you going to be talking about in your blog? What audience are you trying to reach? For example, you may want to blog about fashion for women who are on a budget.
Why do you want to start a blog?
The niche you choose depends on your goals and reasons for creating a blog. Are you starting a blog as a form of journaling? Are you hoping to create a profitable blog? There are certain blog niches that make more money than others. If your goal is to make some money in the future, here are some profitable blog niches. The most important thing is that you’re talking about something you care about, and not solely to make money. If you start a blog about a topic that you don’t care about, you’re going to get burned out. Make sure you really enjoy what you plan on blogging about. It’s also a good idea to blog about what you know about. If you start a blog about something you know nothing about, you should probably consider another niche.
How to decide on a niche
Now it’s time to decide on a niche for your blog. Start a list of all of the things you’re interested in. Think about the questions you search for on Google. Think about the types of blog posts that you like to read. Think about the blog posts you would write if you start a blog in that niche. I thought about including fashion on my blog because I love seeing other fashion blogs, but I realized that’s not really something I’d want to write about. Think about what you know about or have experience with. Narrow it down to 4-5 topics, and consider narrowing it down even more. My blog is a lifestyle blog, so I have pages for about 4 different topics.
You also need to think about the competition. If your goal is to have a lot of traffic, you won’t get that in an over-saturated niche. Do some searches to see how competitive your niche is. If it’s highly competitive, consider narrowing down your topic even more. The more you know about a specific topic, the better.
Deciding on a niche for your blog is probably something you need to think about for a while. Don’t stress too much about it because you’re not completely stuck. If you decide you want to add a topic, go for it! I hope learning how to choose the best niche for your blog was helpful. Be looking out for a list of niche ideas for bloggers to come!

Thank you!
Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I
guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m
still new to everything. Do you have any tips for rookie blog writers?
I’d really appreciate it.
Sorry your comment got messed up! Honestly, I think it just takes time and practice. I look back at my first posts that I thought were good at the time and I realize how much better they could have been, but that’s just because I didn’t have practice. I’d also suggest doing as much research as you can! People will try to sell you their courses, but there is a lot of good free information out there. 🙂
Way cool! Some very valid points! I appreciate you writing this write-up and the
rest of the site is very good.
It’s really a cool and helpful piece of information. I am glad that you shared this useful information with us.
Please stay us up to date like this. Thank you for sharing.
I’m glad you liked it! 🙂
Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my
newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping
maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy
reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
Here is an article that might help you out! https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-automatically-send-tweet-when-you-publish-a-new-post-in-wordpress/
The plugin is WP to Twitter. I hope this helps! 🙂
