How to Determine a Blog Niche
How to determine a niche on a blog is very easy even if you've never had a blog before. Here's how:
1. Decide What You Like
In starting anything, if it is not accompanied by things you like, surely the results will not be optimal.
Likewise, when becoming a blogger, when you just copy other people's niches that you don't like, you definitely won't be consistent, let alone earn income.
Therefore, before becoming a blogger who aims to earn income, first determine what you like as a niche blog.
For example, you can write down five to ten things that are your favorite, say smartphones, soccer, shoes, and so on.
So, of all of them, sort it back from the thing that you are most good at.
That way, it is certain that the blog content will always be there and not stop in the middle of the road (stuck).
Basically, being a blogger can be said as a paid hobby. Even though you don't always have a hobby in blogging, at least you can share this hobby through a blogging platform.
2. Research
Research here means that you have to search all spaces on the internet that discuss niche lists (things that were written before).
For example, find out about the topic of shoes in SERPs, forums, and so on to find out what information your audience needs.
Later, these will become content ideas for your blog. If you really aim to make a living, research on the topic must be done carefully so that you can find out the potential number of people who will be looking for that information.
Even though the process of becoming an income blogger looks quite complex, by determining a niche, you can get many benefits, you know.
Niche Benefits
As is well known, a niche is a segment within a broader target market.
In its application to the world of blogging, the benefits of a niche are as follows:
1. Reducing Competition
By having a niche blog, of course, the competition to get top rankings on search engines is getting easier.
That doesn't mean you're afraid and unable to compete, your blog will just be the same as other blogs with the same theme, call it a technology or fashion theme.
So, no element of uniqueness exists on your blog if it is the same as other blogs.
2. Won Topical Authority
Topical authority, also known as topical ownership, is a term that refers to a metric about how 'strong' a website is on a particular topic.
Simply put, when your website has earned the title of topical authority, Google will increase your website's ranking because it is considered an 'expert' or master of a topic in a particular field (niche).
So, to win topical authority, create valuable and of course quality content that is still in the same niche.
By focusing on pursuing topical authority, you will always be motivated to create quality content.
For example, if you pay attention, websites that have a hosting business always create content about hosting and websites.
In the end, your website is increasingly being shown by Google because it has relevance to a topic.
Not only that, website visits will certainly increase website visits along with your income.
