How to pick a blog niche

The first thing that you must get right is discovering a Niche. That broad area of interest that you concentrate on.
It may be the making money niche, health, and exercise, pets, travel, food or any large category of interest.

This will be the general interest factor that you can expand on.

Any blog subject can make money

If I gave you a blog subject to make money with then several hundred like-minded readers may also pick it up and then it is a very busy keyword. We wish life was that easy.

But, what we can do is a sure-fire method that will get you to page one of any search term.
However, be aware Google does not act overnight and it will take a couple of months (or more ) to find a page one position.

Let's pick a broad subject that will have readers.

Fly fishing

I confess to owning a rod however it has never touched water. It was a great present from one of the boys but has languished in the shed for several years.

The first thing we do is find out if this is a good topic. I use the Jaxxy keyword tool to do this.

Lots of traffic and we would dearly love some of that however there are 260 good writers in front of us for that keyword. Maybe we would start on page 30 of a search term. Not where we want to be and too far to page one.

But let's break this down into easy bites that may work a little better.

• First of all, we could use locations. The great lakes of Victoria or Alberta.
• Next, we could consider seasons, summer fishing, Winter experience
• What about license requirements that are necessary for many places
• Fishing Flyes will be a broad subject.
• Feeding times for best fishing
• Shore fishing waders, boots, hats, etc
  

Our aim is to find those content headlines that have reasonable traffic but low competition.

It is better to get 100 clicks a month than none and that is what we need to do.

When we pick our headline we start our research.

Footnote here about keywords

Keywords or headings in blogging usually answer a question or solve a problem. They may do product reviews and comparisons or go along the How when why route. Generally, it is solving an issue that someone would type into Google or say into a mobile phone to Siti or other voice girls.

The best Keywords get results

Maybe we try “The best fly fishing in Canada during July”
Jaxxy says no traffic but Google lists a lot of answers. He also adds what people are looking for.

People also ask

Where is the best fishing in July?

What flies to fish with in July?

Where is the best trout fishing in Canada?

Which Canadian province has the best fishing?

Google also goes into related searches

Lots of options to extend your words.

Here I think the Bow river is a good destination so I might change my words to go with.

Now Google says;

People also ask

Where is the best place to fish on the Bow River?

Is the Bow River good for fishing?

Can you fish the Bow River in the winter?

How do you catch fish in the Bow River?

Take any one of these because you know people are searching for them, Google has told us.

Add a bit to the search and you have a good heading.
“The best way to catch Fish in the Bow river”
You can play at times like morning or evening, from the left bank or at high tide. In a boat with a guide and using flys or live bait.

Lots of things to write about with low competition but good traffic.

Break down any heading in the same way

Here we used the Bow river but there are others that people want to read about
Campbell River, Diefenbaker Lake, Esnagami Lake.

Same words different lakes are four times the traffic.

You can do this any amount of times to come up with keywords that rank.

What should I do before starting a blog, real answers

Making money is a secondary consideration

Yes, you heard it correctly, if you write well and use Keywords that attract and keep readers then the money will start to flow. From Affiliate links, the sale of products or advertising your return on effort will be rewarded.
However, writing purely for money is now fatally flawed. Google does not like that approach
and you are likely to get bumped off any front pages that you may get near and sent spiraling down to pages with double digits.

However, we are here to make money so do it carefully and without bashing the readers with the hard sell approach.

Your content is important

In fact, content is more important than ever as Google introduces new rules. You must answer questions however do it in an informative manner with original information that is better than your competitors. A big ask but one that you must comply with.

By narrowing down your heading and targeting a specific objective you will be able to demonstrate that you have an understanding of the issue and have provided a solution.

The post that wins this race is the one that is read and has good page time. If you are competing with someone else and they have superior content as voted by the readers you will quickly slide down the ratings..

You must also consider Bing and Yahoo

You may well find you also have a lot of traffic on Bing. ( This includes Yahoo figures). In fact, it may be more than Google. Bing is still with exact match keywords and that is why headings are important and a few Keywords in your article

You are writing for readers and not search engines

You are writing for readers and not search engines so don't get it confused. Trying to trick Google will not work. The world has changed and Google only wants good content that delivers reader enjoyment and fulfills the promise.

Unfortunately, you will know what Google thinks about you because you will be ranked accordingly. Likes at the front of the class and the bad ones to the back of the room.

Pick your subjects based on reader interest

Make your subjects specific, searchable, and full of appropriate information to keep your readers on the page.
You can use Colour, images, and pictures to gather those eyes that move through the page looking for points of interest to bring them to a halt. They won't read every word because they are looking for a specific hidden somewhere on your page. Therefore give them a reason to stop.

Conclusion

It may appear that blogging is getting harder but if you choose your headings appropriately and write good content then the world has actually got easier. You will go ahead of all those that will get lost in the rules.
