Blogging has evolved. This involves finding a sweet spot that serves your blog's target customers or clients.

I had difficulties selecting a niche or market for my new blog about 12 years ago. I knew I needed to find a profitable and lucrative blogging niche but figuring it out was a challenge.

I remember creating my first blog, was a tech blog, zakxloaded.com on BlogSpot (blogger.com), and getting all excited about it.

It took me a while before I created another blog and navigated my approach completely; I went into the SEO and content marketing space and within a month, I grew my blog traffic to 5,000 monthly.

What is a Blog Niche and Why Do You Need One?

Do you know the most successful brands today target a specific audience?

What’s a niche?

In business, a niche is a specialized market for a particular product or service.

This is not different from a blog niche!

What is a blogging niche?

A blogging niche is a specialized segment of a blog market. If a blogger creates content that teaches people how to cook, the blog niche is Cooking.

Blog niche examples?

If a blogger publishes content around yoga, that’s a yoga blog. Hence, a "Yoga Niche".

A blogger who creates blogs for web designers is a web-design blog. Hence, a "Web-Design niche.

If the blogger writes about beauty, the blog niche is "beauty niche".

3 things to consider when selecting a profitable blog niche:

• The blog niche topic: this is the general topic idea you want to go into. 

• The blog niche specific audience or target customers: to run a successful blog, you must find a specific target audience that you want to serve. Your blog posts will only focus on helping this set of people.

• A niche monetization strategy: you must plan out a marketing and sales funnel that will generate income from any blog niche on auto-pilot. 

For example;

• My blog niche topic: I am a search engine optimization specialist and I help businesses with article writing, content & SEO.

• The blog niche-specific audience or target customers: My target is B2B software businesses (SAAS).

• A niche monetization strategy: I offer freelance SEO and Blog writing services to software businesses (aka SEO agencies, B2B SaaS, etc.).

Get the idea?

A blog niche helps you to avoid competition and stand out easily. 

How to Find Profitable Blog Niches for Your New Blog - Step-by-Step

How do you begin brainstorming profitable blog niche ideas?

Ask yourself...

What are you passionate about?

Starting, I had blog niche ideas like;

Soccer - I always had a deep love for this. 

Technology - I naturally developed a love for the internet. 

Passive income - I learned some money-making skills that I believe people need to learn.

Spirituality - I love talking to people about living a good and fulfilled life. 

Music - I love good music. 

Vlogging - I love the idea of documenting your life on video. I love keeping memories.

Think about your accomplishments, past positions, awards, or experiences.

Try not to think about how profitable your ideas are; in the next steps, I’ll show you how to do that.

How to Research the Profitability of Your Blog Niche

Starting a blog to make money goes beyond your passion.

You could create a wonderful blog around a topic you’re so passionate about and still not make a dollar. 

Can you consistently create blog posts on this topic weekly for a year?

If it’s something you feel you might get tired of, then stay away from that niche. Naturally, you should be able to come up with random content ideas for your blogging niche you have. 

There are a few tools that can help you validate the profitability of your blog niche ideas that I recommend:

Tool 1) Google Keyword Planner (GKP).

Head over to Google Keyword Planner and create a free account.

Go to 'Discover new keywords' type in your niche keywords and click on Get results. 

Niches with lots of searches mean lots of people search those terms.

Pay attention to the 'competition' (Low, Medium, High) as you do not want to get into a crowded blogging niche.

Tool 2) Quora.

Next, I use Quora to get real questions my target audience is asking online.

Quora is a powerful tool and we can get useful comments that can help you start a profitable blog. I always use it to find lucrative blog post ideas to write about. 

You can get questions on topics ranging from Yoga, Marketing, Programming, Cooking, Poems, Photography, Business, Soccer, History Investing, and dozens more!

Tool 3) Related blogs.

The next thing I do is check other related blogs and possible competitions.

Research similar blogs to see what they are doing, and what is working and what is not. 

Get a list of your competitors and pay close attention to what they do and how they do it.

For example;

1. What type of blog posts do similar blogs post? (Videos, Articles, Podcasts...).

2. What products or services do similar blogs sell? (Ads, Affiliate products, Courses, etc).

3. Who engages with similar blogs in your blogging market? (Children, Adults, CEOs, Consultants, Cooks...).

These will help you better understand how your blog niche is performing and help you craft a unique brand voice.

How do you generate blog post ideas?

A powerful blogging strategy I leverage is the ability to use community forums (like Quora, Facebook Groups, etc) to source content ideas to write about. It is also a great way to find out if people will want to pay attention to your new blog or not. 

Go on platforms like Facebook, Quora, and Twitter and find out what your target blog readers are searching for online.

Let’s use Quora as an example;

Let’s say you’re in the finance niche or finance market.

Head over to Quora.com and run searches relating to the finance space (use your niche). Some keywords we could try out are;

• How to save money

• Tools to save money

• Budgeting

• Invest money

• Investment tools

• Investment platforms

• Student loans

• Home buying and more.

All of these are lucrative blog post ideas you can write on.
