Choosing Your Niche (Topic) For Your Website

Today, I am going to help you with that.
You should consider the following points while choosing a niche:

1. If you like the topic on which you are going to make your website, that’s a great thing.
2. Enough people must be buying products related to the niche or spending their time knowing more about your niche.
3. It shouldn’t be too competitive.
4. If you can find some products to promote (from affiliate networks we joined before) in your niche, that’s even better.

Let’s consider the above points one-by-one.

You should like the topic yourself
To be able to create value, fill a void. Otherwise you might get bored and won’t be able to contribute much. It can grow really well if it is your hobby you absolutely love.

Are enough people buying or looking for more information in your niche?
If you like something, but if there are not many people looking about it, your website won’t get much traffic.

Is your niche too competitive?
Your niche shouldn’t be too broad that your direct competition is with big companies. For example, if you like cooking, a blog on ‘recipes’ will be too broad. I’ll recommend that you should rather make a blog on ‘vegetarian recipes’ or maybe can go even narrow to ‘healthy vegetarian recipes’. So if you like cooking, you can make a website on ‘healthy recipes’, ‘protein rich recipes’, ‘weight loss recipes’ etc.

If you like fitness, you can make a website on yoga, bodybuilding for newbies etc.

Are there enough advertisers to promote?
If there is nothing to recommend and gain commissions from in your niche, it will be harder for you to monetize your website. You can always place ads (example: Google Ads) on your website. But, we hardly recommend choosing a niche with enough advertisers to promote. For example: Goon ebay.com and amazon.com and see their best-selling products.
