How to choose or create a niche for my blog?

Creating blog/blogs these days is very simple thanks to sites like Blogger, WordPress, Blogates etc. But rising above the competitors and receiving more visitors, well that’s not an easy job.

What does a niche for a blog mean? In common that is the theme of the blog and what it’s creator is writing about. If you are planning to write in some overfilled category you should visit some well know affiliate forums for a quick consult. What do I have in mind? Imagine that you’re creating an IT blog for software and hardware news on your language. The niche is already overfilled with IT portals, blogs and forums. That is why you should distinguish with something – write for free software for example. Then you have a bigger chance for success.

How to choose the correct niche? Naturally you have already chosen the theme for your blog – no matter if it’s a blog for weight loss, software, health, Search Engine Optimization or something else. But think of the sub-niches that you theme (weight loss) – weight loss by running, weight loss pills, fitness etc. Choose one of them and write for it.

The formula is quite easy – choose, characterize, write.
