Best Niches For Blogging: How to Choose?

One of the best ways to make money online is simply blogging. You have this idea in your head, and you have an idea to start a blog, but like many beginners, you do not know if it will work or not? If you are nodding your head, believe me, you are not alone. This is why we decided to make this article to show you some of the best niches for blogging and help you decide if it is the good one for you or not!

What is a Niche?

Before speaking about the best niches for blogging, let's define a niche.

If you go now and search for the word niche in a dictionary, you will find the following answer: a comfortable or suitable position in life or employment.

Many understand a niche that it is the idea that your blog will be talking about only. This is somehow correct, but it is not the definitive answer.

A niche is not only the topic, but it is also the approach you will take to talk about this topic. It is also the audience you want to target and how you are going to talk about the topic.

But most importantly, as the dictionary meaning states, it is the topic you find yourself comfortable to talk about. This helps you position yourself as an expert in the field or simply someone willing to share his/her experience about this specific topic.

But before talking about the best niches for blogging, let's share some history of how we at H-educate first started.

Blog Niches That Make Money Slide

How did we start?

If you go to our blog, you can see the oldest articles almost all talk about one thing: email marketing.

When we first started, the main niche we had in mind was just how to do good email marketing and SMTP servers.

But later on, our niche began to expand. This is what you need to do before picking the best niches for blogging.

We now post articles related to Webhosting, digital marketing, how to make money online, and much more. We now post articles about everything related to digital marketing and online business.

Rule Number 1: Start with a Micro Niche

See what we did there? The strategy goes by starting with a specific micro-niche.

When you want to pick a niche for blogging, you need to target a specific audience to target and get traffic from. It is not recommended to start with a very wide niche, as you will have tons of ideas to talk about. This will cause you to talk in general about the topic, which will not interest your audience.

Benefits

When you talk about a specific micro-niche, you would be providing a detailed explanation about this topic. this will provide your audience something different than what is available online and hooks them to your articles.

Not only this, talking about the same topic, you will create multiple articles about the same topic, thus having connected articles that talk about similar keywords.

This will help you rank on google and drive free organic traffic to your blog.

Rule Number 2: Expand your Niche!

Once you start with a micro-niche, you will attract an audience that is interested in your topic. This will drive some traffic to your website.

Once you have a good audience and good traffic, it is time to expand your niche.

As we in H-educate did, we started with the email marketing niche. This attracted an audience that is just interested in email marketing.

Later, we started adding some more topics, like online business, SAAS Business, YouTube marketing, affiliate marketing, and more other topics.

Important Note: When we say to expand your niche, all the topics should be related to this niche. We are not saying to talk about digital marketing and health niches! These are not related.

Before showing some niche examples, let's discuss what you should keep in mind when picking up your blogging niche.

To find out the perfect niche for you, you should be able to answer the below 3 questions.
