My friend asked me about what niche topic he should choose for his blog. And then i said, if in 2 years you are not able anymord to produce an articke with such a passion and love, then it is not your niche topic.

I would suggest picking a niche you really care about and love. Unless you are doing this full time, it is very difficult to maintain good content on a blog if your passions aren’t behind it.

Of course if all you want to do is make money, and THAT is your passion that drives you.. then the niche doesn’t necessarily have to be a topic you love.. but it will show in the quality of your content.

I’ve never really had problems with the picking of profitable topics that fit in with my passions, I think my biggest problem has always been maintaining quality while blogging consistently.

You definitely want to chose your niche marketing with the biggest potential for success. Otherwise what is the point? Thanks for the post Yaro.

How do you decide what to write about when you have a topic. What do you do to keep fresh topics coming in each day. What should I do to have fresh material consistently.

Though I have already found my niche, this was a nice short read none the less.

I would definintly recommend doing something that you are passionate about. Blogging for the long run is difficult if it’s a topic that is not all that interesting to you and you are motivated by money or some other reason.

I think the best thing to blog about is something you are interested in. If you try to blog about something you don’t know anything about it will come through in your writing.

If I don’t know what to blog about, i just talk about recent events in the news.

It can be confusing when choosing a web hosting company because they all look pretty much the same and they seem like they know what they are doing. However, I recommend reading reviews from reliable websites so that you may compare and become more familiar with the hosting companies before making a decision.

There are many web hosting providers and you might become confused to choose which one. It is very important that you choose a good web host. Good doesn’t mean expensive. Good means reliable with great support.

If you can’t think of anything to say/post, or you have nothing really to say, don’t bother. The web is awash with people who have blogs simply for the sake of having a blog, and they are easy to spot.

I have been reading about blogging and am thinking about doing it. You hit the nail on the head. What do I blog about? I will not start a blog until I find the answer to this. That is why I did not join the Become a Blogger Premium 2.0 this time. I want to finish the RoadMap to Blogging and discover what I want to blog about. I also will decide if I even want to blog. I see it has to be a passion and a joy to do. It can not be about making money. I do look forward to the learning experience and hope I do find that niche that is so essential to a successful blog.

Thank you for your honesty in what you say. It is helping me decide how I want to proceed.

Ann (and everyone),

I once read that a so-so website (or blog) will attract more
visitors than no website at all. The best thing is to just try
out some ideas. I went through 5-6 blog ideas until I finally
found one that I love to write about everyday. And now the
traffic is coming!

Yaro, your blog offers so much value, not least this blog post. I’ve downloaded all your MP3 interviews and are currently working through them on my ipod. I’ve recently launched a new internet marketing blog, Launchfinder.com, and I need all the help I can get. Thanks for everything.

I have read all of these posts with great interest. Many of them resonated – especially those talking about finding a niche when one has multiple interests and passions. I have many experiences to draw on in my life – I’ve been around awhile (-; – and there are lots of things that I want to write about. My thought was to build a blog around those interests and create (as Michelle mentioned earlier) categories from her ideas and topics. I’ve been playing around with variations on that idea for awhile, but I read in many places that I need to find a niche to start with. And that’s what paralyzes me – I want to get going …
This approach sounds like it would work for me (I could then throw the categories against the wall and see what sticks – for me as well as for readers). I look forward to further discussion – the topic is big for many of us.

Michelle: do I understand then that you write about multiple topics on your blog, and then categorize within the one blog? Do you use links to the posts? In other words, you don’t specialize right away. That’s what I want to do, but I read in many places that I need to find a niche to start with.

Great tips! It’s so much easier to write about something you’re passionate about. When the blog has meaning and there’s truth behind the writer’s words, the response is much better…as opposed to just going to Google and searching for something to write about.

Thanks!

One of the best pieces of advice you’ve ever given is to try multiple blogs in multiple spaces and cut loose the ones that don’t work and focus on the winners. Some niches are like getting blood from a stone, while others happen seemingly effortlessly. I was skeptical of that claim until I tried it and it is great advice.

Amy:
You can get a free blog with wordpress direct and be able to monetize (3 freebie blog sites then pay ) . In my experience wordpress does have a bit of a learning curve that is somewhat sharper than Blogger – having said that, I am now putting all my new blogs on wordpress and am thinking of migrating one of my Blogger sites.

I have read your blue print report. It’s great for me and I hope for everyone. Yet, I feel that your report sometimes make people feel so scared to begin blogging as a new blogger. The only reason here is that you told that blogging is easy and everyone can do it but on the other hand you sometimes told us something like this word :
Don’t be blogging about making money online unless you don’t have any experince in there.

If ever I want to write something but I don’t know what to write, I’m just going to browse the Google Trends and find some interesting topics there.
Become a Blogger Premium is also a good tool to help bloggers find an idea of what is to be blogged.

Thanks for another great contribution.

Selecting great blog topics is more likely to creating music.

If someone hits some notes of a musical instrument haphazardly, it will create a noise and most obviously it will irritate you if you are near to him, but, if someone plays a good composition selecting only those notes that produce a nice tune using the same instrument, it will attract you towards him.

Creating good content is the same as producing a composition with a nice tune using proper notes. Select those topics, which are closely related and produce your content just like nice tune instead of noise.

Your blog content producing strategy needs to be just like creating music so that you find lots of people around you looking for well-crafted content from your blog in the way people want to hear great composition of tune from a musician. It will not only create your content relevant, strong and interesting, it will create continuous flow of new readers and engage them looking forward to consume your blog content.

Thanks Yaro – it’s almost like you describe “the flow” and your ideas are resemblant of some theories of creativity. You’ve really inspired me to live may passion and dream to be a psychologist. I’m nearly there but was losing hope. I can feel the chains falling away from me. Thank you!

Hi Yaro et al–

Very helpful post re: topic selection! My sense is I’m ready to proceed on the topic front–comfortable with my niche for the reasons described–but I’m still at sea in terms of what platform to use. I’m leaning towards WordPress.com–given that I’m short on cash and don’t have a technical background, I’m reluctant to do anything self-hosted. I’m thinking that if this takes off in the next 3-6 months, I can then think about migrating. The obvious downside to WordPress.com is the current prohibition on monetization. Is Blogger a better choice then? It must seems that *everyone* has moved toward WordPress, so given the zeitgeist that’s where I’m leaning.

Any and all thoughts on this question welcome–as are suggested references to help in making the decision. I’ve read a bunch of stuff but still no slam-dunk.

Many thanks!!

Amy

The live chat is a great tool for answering inquiries.

I’m also a blogger, and it’s frustrating at times when you run out of ideas or topics to blog about. It’s true that writing topics which you are adept with is a sure fire hit. It’s easier for you to express what you are trying to express. Sit down and think about your interests and list them down. Write from the heart and your readers will definitely become interested also with your blog.

Wow!! What can I say apart from the fact that you’re content is awesome Yaro. I get so much from reading the information you provide. Infact my blog is thanks to your set of videos. I set it up from scratch after so many other websites/blogs said it was too difficult. Bah humbug even *giggles*

Thank you again Yaro for being so inspiring … I may be the Mum of 11 but thanks to you ive started something I really love to do that fits around my family life (=
