HOW DO YOU FIND OUT WHATS YOUR NICHE IS?

Go read up books like Idiots Guide to Blogging and Start your own Blogging Business and prehaps do search in amazon.com or our national library cat for books on blogging.

To find your niche. First, make a list of all your interests or hobbies that you enjoy doing and will continue doing for a very long time and as well as a list of skills, experience and abilities. You will have to be sure that this is something you will like to talk, think and learn about it for everyday, 365 days a year and for the rest of your blogging life and still won’t get sick about it

You will also need to be able to develope credibility in the topic that people will hold you with high regard. Preferably, an expert in that topic.

To narrow it down, you will need to do a bit of research. First, create as many keywords as possible with the list that you have just created and do a keyword popularity search. Then narrow it down by selecting those that you think is profitable. (For example, Those that will interest the public) Do a search with those popular keyword to get to know more about your competition. Next, find out how saturated the topic is and whether it has been talk or blog about a lot. Then try to see if there is anymore further value you think you can add above your competitor.

As you can see people at internet marketing singapore are very friendly and they really give really helpful advice on anything you wanna ask. Don’t be shy if that question may seem silly because at the long run, it will help you out in return, and don’t worry about people laughing at you because NOBODY will.
