You’ve read couple of blog and even bought a blogging course like WordPress Adsense System. You’re all pumped up to start your first blog and guess what topic comes to mind?
“How to make money online!”
This is by far the most popular niche market most new bloggers enter, mostly without any research and with no real uniqueness or direction in mind. I’ve once wondered why most people choose this topic when there are literally thousands of easier niche markets to enter as a new blogger, either to make money from Google Adsense of from affiliate marketing.
I guess most people do it for the following reasons:
- This is a really compelling topic - When you’re spending all your time online trying to make money online, you’d naturally feel attracted to the topic of “Making money online”
- You thought it would be easy - Yes, you thought it would be easy to make a lot of money from this market, as compared to other niche markets there are certainly more products you can promote as an affiliate in this niche.
The “Make money online” market can really be profitable, provided you can do the following:
- Find a more targeted niche within the “Make money online” niche, for example video marketing, audio product creation, Adsense,
- Go one inch wide and one mile deep. Find a small but targeted market, but go really really deep into the market with your information. In short, become the best source of information for that small niche, and dominate it
- Research the growth potential of your topic, and make sure that you’re not on a sinking boat. For example, look at the graph below from Google Trends and you’ll see that this blog has the potential to grow in the future. Type in a specific keyword in Google Trends, and if your graph is on the decline it’s probably not a good idea to start a blog on the topic.
So what do you do if you’ve already started a blog on “How to make money online”?
Well for starters, you need to redefine your content and direction. The “make money online” topic is too general and while it can be profitable, as a newbie it would be better for you to find a smaller, “nichier” topic. In fact, it’s easier to make money from smaller topics within the “make money online” market itself.
