Picking a topic is not as easy as it is said. You and I can blog on anything and everything.
But there is a catch, if there are no viewers/Audience to that post that you worked very hard, would be virtually worthless.
Believe me guys, I made the same mistake, blogging whatever I liked.
This might have worked in the 2000s. But not it won't work at all. It ever owns see any page on google search results.
Pick a Topic
In this particular blog, ill tell you the process of picking the right topic that you can blog. and help you to choose the best one possible.
There are many bloggers on the internet and on YouTube say "Follow your passion" "Passion is the key" or "Run after money""Money is the Key" or "Start a blog on trendy thing" "everyone will search for the new trend" What??? Seriously dude!!!
These are the 10 Things that you need to remember when selecting a blog topic
1. Get to know yourself first
You're the one who is going to be with the blog right from day one. So you should know yourself first.
Just for the sake of money you want to blog means you may not be happy enough about it after some time.
- What is that you're passionate about?
- Are you willing to spend sleepless nights on it?
- What drives your weekends?
- If you're passionate about cars and vehicles pick a niche in that field and master that.
- Just for the sake of something or someone, don't run for it.
2. Know you're strengths and weakness
What are you're strengths and weakness? This question both of you're personal and professional life.
If you're happy with your personal life and not with professional life, then consider changing it. If you're happy with professional and not happy with personal life, take personal leave and try to understand what is going wrong.
I'm not taking personal lessons.
Believe me guys, you should figure out you're current situation. Know you're strengths and weakness.
For me personally, My strength is an addiction and that is my weakness too. I'll tell you why.
I like to watch TV series. I think my first TV series is "vampire diaries". On average it takes around 60 days to complete, if you see it 2 hours a day, there are around 300 episodes.
How many days do you think it took for me to complete it? 40 days or 50 days.
No, you're wrong.
I completed it within 10 days. First, I watched 3 episodes, I liked it very much, I postponed all the other things, and started it, and completed it. without no rest, day and night. "I don't like suspense"
I cont sleep with that.
That is called addiction. That is my strength and weakness.
3. Niche it Down
Previously in my blog "Start a Blog" I've mentioned the word "NICHE", do you remember!!! if not it's okay ill tell you about it in this article, and why this word will help you in picking the right topic.
There are many bloggers on the internet and on YouTube say "Follow your passion" "Passion is the key" or "Run after money""Money is the Key" or "Start a blog on trendy thing" "everyone will search for the new trend" What??? Seriously dude!!!
Okay, it doesn't matter, ignore that and follow me.
There is a marketing Term called "Niche"? Do you ever come across this ever if not you should chick my previous blog?
Previously in my blog "Start a Blog" I've mentioned the word "NICHE", do you remember!!! if not it's okay ill tell you about it in this blog, and why this word will help you in picking the right topic.
So what is Niche any way?
Don't worry guys ill tell you everything in detail about it, and why this will help you in picking the right Topic to blog.
Meaning according to Google.
How to find a Profitable niche
Now did you understand what Niche is? if yes that's great. If not don't worry read the following example, you'll understand.
1. Lamborghini, Porsche does not advertise on any platform. Do you know why They focus only on the top 1% of Rich people who have plenty of wealth? That means advertising on TV or Newspaper is not worthy of them.
Or take another example,
2. If you're a sportsperson. Then what sport do you like? If Cricket, then which team? If you like Chennai super kings, then which team player do you like. If Ms. Dhoni,
Now, You yourself defined a Niche. This will apply anywhere.
"Tesla and SpaceX are the Best examples for Niche"
4. Get to Know your Target Audience
First, you should know who is your audience, this is similar and dependent on the previous point. "Niche"
If you're able to define Niche properly this will be easy.
Did you ever hear "Behavioral Science" if not it deals with Social, cultural, psychological, economic, emotional, and political sciences? these are those that determine you're Audience.
You have to be very careful, with you're content, if you lose one target audience it is like losing your one-month revenue.
Now you may have this question in your mind, How to define Target Audience?
Here are the steps to define the target audience,
1. Create a profile
a. Age.
b. Gender.
c. Income.
d. Location.
2. Conduct a survey
a. Survey.
b. Interview.
c. Market research.
3. Assess you're offering
This will help you in understanding you're target audience. Let's move on.
5. Have a To-Do list
Always keep a physical notebook in you're pocket. Plan one week ahead for everything. It may be in your personal life or professional life.
This also helps with more important things. You'll understand the importance of "prioritization" and get motivation.
You can also use google calendar as a To-do list. This is free, you should have a Gmail account. This will help to organize things easily.
Know one knows how ideas come to our mind. So if you have an idea about any topic write it down.
This kind of simple thing will help you in creating a new article and can improve the existing one.
If you have a weekly to-do list build in advance, you can save 25 to 30% of your time. This time can be used in other things. rite.
So have both physical note pad. and utilize online tools like Google calendar for both to-do list and for time management.
6. Get Inspired by social media
Do you know social media is the best way to get inspired online? This is the place where you're not restricted.
Do you know, There are millions of bloggers who are stars on social media.
Join private and public groups of you're interest and are active in the group.
Ask for suggestions and comment on things that you like.
Platforms like Reddit are the best and proven ways to know, what is going on in the world, or on the things that you like.
Did you see this meme, this proves the power of Reddit.
You can know what is going on, in the market right now. what are the trendy things?
Quora is another Q&A platform where the success full bloggers come to "Inspire". so make sure to follow them on all platforms.
7. Take suggestions from your audience
If you ask any blogger, they would probably suggest, to take suggestions from the audience. Yes, it is true, and these methods work in real life.
This way you will be able to build stronger relationships with your audience.
Why is this good?
Your audience might have known you're mistaken from day one. if you're more transparent, you can improve your style and rectify errors.
8. Are you confident about the topic
The next question is "Are you Confident about the topic" Just for the sake of release, do not post an irrelevant article.
For example, you're writing an article about a place that you visited. But you might not have tried food in that area.
Just for the heading or article's sake don't post articles that you're not familiar with. this will sabatosh you trust.
Can you prove something, that is not existing? then do it. that will be the greatest thing.
9. Are you willing to give up $10,000 for this blog?
If I ask you this question what is your response?
If I place $10000 on the table and you're blog, which one do you choose?
If $10,000 then you won't fit in this path.
If you choose a blog rather then $10,000, then congratulations. You made the smart decision.
I'll tell you the reason, why should you choose a blog.
Yes! it will take time to be successful in blogging if you're able to master this field you can make three or more times of this amount in just a month.
10. Don't change your mind
A new blogger's mindset is very sensitive to new and different topics. Be careful about this, because, if you try too many things in blogging you'll fail.
Please choose a topic to perfect. Get the most out of it, and if you find nothing new about it, then try new things.
I wouldn't suggest you put all you're eggs in one basket. But initially, this is the best option.
For example. You like writing about money, then focus on one, master in it. then move on. Like start about "Forex", if you're familiar with it and there is no fresh content, then move to "Commodities".
This way you will be mastering one skill and you can transit to other things without losing you're confident in your previous blog.
Let's solve one more important puzzle about it and then we're done with picking the topic.
What blogs make quick money?
I know this would be your next question Right?
Let's address this one. What blogs make money.
To be frank any blog with a defined purpose will and can make money.
Let me give you an example.
If you're a traveler, and you use to blog everything about travel, I mean everything, like what food you eat, what places you saw.
Do you think you can make money out of that? Yes. you can.
If someone like me wants to go to Paris, what would I do to go to Google and search about the place?
If I saw your blog while scrolling and read the total blog and feel inspired and if I click on the Ad / Advertisement or the link to book a hotel, you will get money for that.
So let's see what blogs can make money.
As I said if you have a grip on the Niche you can make money.
