What is a Blogging Niche?

Thank you for sharing!

I keep hearing that you need to pick a niche when you start blogging. But what is a blogging niche anyway? This post really cleared that up for me.

If you’ve taken the time to research blogging before making the jump, you’ve probably heard of a blogging niche. A blogging niche is something that all bloggers need. Not only can a niche make blogging easier, but you’ll be more successful. Let’s take a closer look at what a blogging niche is, why you need one, and how to pick one.

What is a Blogging Niche?

About Blogging Niches

A blogging niche is chosen so that a blogger can write on a topic and reach a certain audience. In other words, you’re choosing a topic that appeals to a certain niche market. For example, those that write recipes, food reviews, etc. would have a blog that appeals to foodies. However, a niche can be much broader than a category. A great example is a blog that’s written to target women in their twenties. This blog would have a much broader selection when it comes to article topics.

Why You Need a Blogging Niche

What’s so great about having a blogging niche? When you create a blog that is geared towards a niche market you have a much better chance of being successful. Instead of your blog being all over the place, you learn to focus on a certain area or areas. For example, if you want to appeal to mom foodies, you would create content that includes quick to fix recipes, food reviews, and articles on easy cooking techniques. If your niche market is women that love science fiction, you would create content that discusses the best sci-fi movies, books, etc. Put simply, you’re using the niche to contain your title ideas and to stay on topic.

How to Choose a Blogging Niche

Now, how do you choose a blogging niche? I have a whole post about this, but the basic, boiled-down info is: Think about what you’re passionate about and then think about others who are passionate about that topic. It’s so easy to write for a niche market that you’re part of. Why? Because it’s like writing content for yourself. For example, you might want to learn more about a topic and then be able to turn your research into a blog post. Also, when you’re writing for your niche market, you’re more apt to write content that others will enjoy. And that’s really it. I promise there’s more to it, but you can boil it down to that.

A blogging niche is something that every blogger should consider before they start a blog. It can make blogging much, much easier and give you a better chance of success. So, sleep on it (my best advice ever for blogging, LOL!) and, be sure to pin this so you can find it again in the morning.
