Ten years ago, setting-up a website is so time-consuming, requires programming skills and patience. But today, everything seems to be so easy. Hehehe. That's how technology works for us. The boom of blogging industry makes way for a lot of people to make money online, even from their homes.
Most of them (including me), are using a free blogging tool like Blogger while those "business oriented" and not uses a hosted Wordpress. Some people just blog about their experience, considering their blog as an online diary. But for those believing their blog as a full-grown business, having a niche is very important. By the way, what is a niche?
Without it, imagine a sailor sailing to a place he doesn't know. You're right, it is wasting! Well, according to the dictionary beside me, niche is a small hollow in a wall. Oops, sorry for the wrong meaning! Hehehe. To be serious again, niche is a role or job that suits you. In blogging, it is the main theme of your blog, your target market, which you will be discussing about over and over again. Check this example:
You love Photoshop so much, and you created a blog that will tackle about your experience about it. Your blog will surely include your works and creation using Photoshop(of course!), some tutorials on how you make something nice and a whole lot more about it.
That is your niche and you need to be passionate about your subject matter.
For us here, we are helping other people make money online in many ways. We are blogging about setting up business and monetizing it, mostly based on our own experience. That is our niche and we are passionate about it! Yay!
So before blogging something, know your niche first! Write and blog from your heart. Hehehe. Optimize it and earn. Now, what is your niche?
Bloggers, Know Your Niche First!
