Blog Should be About

What Should I Blog About?

Choosing the right niche for your blog is tricky. If you

want to blog merely as a hobby, then feel free to

write about whatever you want. The important thing

here is to have fun. If, however, you want to make money with 

your blog and possibly grow it into a business,

you will need to

choose your niche more carefully.

The first mistake to avoid is making the blog

gravitate around your person. This includes

using a domain with your name and surname and

writing excessively about personal matters. This has

worked for some people, but most of them already

had some notoriety before they started blogging.

Don't get me wrong. Putting yourself in your blog

and sharing your related experiences with the

audience is perfectly fine, but your site should have

a topic on its own, say small business or Microsoft

Windows, as opposed to being a personal blog.

The second mistake is trying to cover too

many topics with the same blog. You probably

have many interests and passions, but you need to

choose one of them for your blog. If you write about

technology, politics and fitness, you will have a hard

time developing a core audience. The sharper the

focus of your blog, the easier it will be to attract

readers and to monetize it.

The third mistake is choosing a niche that you

are not passionate or knowledgeable about.

This usually happens when people see someone

making good money in a certain niche, and they

decide to imitate it. As I mentioned before, making

money blogging will take time and hard work. If you

don't love what you are writing about, you won't

have the motivation to stick with it long enough.

Finally, try to focus on just one blog instead of

creating a myriad of them. It is easier to make

money with one authoritative blog than with a

bunch of mediocre ones.
