  1. A great article that breaks down how to find a niche. This can be the hardest thing if you have no clue what to write about and as you say it’s important to write about things that are relevant to each other rather than random topics.

    Many of us look at our hobbies and you’re right about saying that we should aim for hobbies that we have a passion for rather than choosing a niche because we think it’s popular. Nothing worse than choosing one that we run out of content to write about half way through.

    Some great tips here that readers will find very useful.

    1. Thanks Louise 

      It’s bad enough getting writer’s block when you’re writing about something you enjoy doing or learning but if it’s a topic you have no interest or knowledge in, it’s so much harder to get over that block. 

      I wonder how many websites have been abandoned over the years just for that one reason alone.  

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 

  2. This is a great article on how to choose a good niche for a blog Jessie. You have written this in such a thorough and informative manner that I don’t recall having this topic explained to me in easy to read terms.

    I think a niche is important because you want to make sure it is something you are passionate about because you are going to end up doing a lot of work in this particular field whether you realize it or not.

    I am curious in terms of changing your mind what niche you want to work in, if you decide to do another niche can you do that on your existing website or do you have to start all the way over again?

    1. Hi Joseph

      You’re so right. It sounds so easy in theory but once you start doing it, it becomes apparent very quickly just how much effort is required to run a website and keep it running.

      There’s a lot of hard work involved and so much content writing, that it has to be something you really enjoy writing about otherwise you’ll burn out very quickly. 

      Many people burn out anyway when they’re writing about things they really enjoy let alone when they’re trying to write about topics that are of no interest to them.  

      In response to your question, It’s better to start a brand new website because your original site will have content relating to one niche and Google will already be familiar with that and your current rankings will also be a reflection of that.

      If you start writing unrelated content on that same site, that will look inconsistent to Google (and your followers) and it could hurt your rankings, traffic and domain authority.

      I would start a brand new site and either keep the old one as a part-time side hustle or if you’re completely done with that niche, sell it on and get some money back for all your hard work. Websites can be quite lucrative little assets.
