While the initial process of starting a blog is all fun and games, it keeps getting challenging with time. Bloggers have the tendency to switch and shift topics. This jumping jack ideology doesn’t work in favor, you lose target over a particular audience. Sticking to a niche (blog topic) helps the engaging like-minded audience. For example, the MOZ Blog is one of the best blogs on all topics related to SEO, giving an insight and a lead over the latest happenings in the digital marketing world. Similarly, it is important that you have a niche for your blog too.

First things first, decide the reason you jumped into the blogging world, whether it’s monetary or a passion pursuit. If former is your choice then you need to be aware of topics that are in trend and also profitable. Consider niches like – free SMS, WhatsApp tips, free movie downloads, these are sure to fetch your audience but won’t add on to your wallet. A good niche would be the one that relates to your liking, has a good grab, also has a monetary value attached. Above all, it should have a future. The key take away from the above discussion is, an ideal niche would be one that caters to all the following:
