How To Choose A Topic Or Niche In Blogging

Choosing a topic or niche is very important in planning your  blogsite . It will be the backbone or foundation of your blog.

If your purpose of creating a blog is to make money online I suggest not to create a personal blog. For sure it won't bring you money worth the effort and time your going to invest. It's ok to create a personal blog if you are a celebrity of some sort if not it's a waste of time monetizing a personal blog.

Choose a topic that you are familiar or good at. In this way you will be an authority or a person that can be trusted in that field. Ex. Is if you are a  toy collector try to blog about toys give tips on how to take care of toys or be the first to post about toys sale or where to sell toys or where to look for hard to find toys. In my example I used  toys as my topic but as we all know it has a wide range of sub topics  see my illustration.

toys>boys>collectible toys>marvel>ironman>dc>superman

toys>girls>collectible toys>mattel>barbie>bratz

As you can see it has lot of sub topics in order for you to find the most high paying niche you need to use tools to identify them. Two of the most effective tools are the google/sktool and https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal. This will help you find the most searched and highest paid keywords. What does that mean? Ex. After using sktool and adwords it showed that the key phrase'ironman marvel'  is the most high paying ppc at $5 and has a 2 million searches per day it's best to focus your blog on marvel ironman rather than catering to all the sub topics under toys if you have the knowledge about ironman if not look for the next best thing if you are a batman fan and it has a 1 million searches a month and paying at $3 it's better to blog about it rather than ironman.

In this way you will be the person to look for when it comes to batman you are the person in authority when it comes to this niche, you own this niche. Good thing about having a niche that you are familiar or interested in, you will not get tired of writing and sharing about it in your blog. At the same time all your articles will be very informative and will definitely gain a lot of subscribers and readers and google will love your blog for having new and unique contents.
