hey guys and welcome to blog tip tuesday where i share hello blog tips every single tuesday
just so you guys know i'm having some mic issues so i hope the sound sounds okay but in today's
video i'm going to give you a step-by-step guide on how to choose a profitable niche for your blog
and disclaimer i know that the correct pronunciation is niche but there's a saying
out there that the riches are in the niches and it is so true and it doesn't sound good if i were to
say niche so anyway if you want to start a blog and you want to make money you need to find a
profitable niche now i have a ton of profitable blog niche ideas that i want to share with you
guys today and four important questions you need to answer before you go ahead and get started
but first for those of you who don't know my story i started my blog in 2018 i had no idea what i was
doing but i needed to find a way to make money from home so i could stay at home with my kids
and after a year of a lot of hard work long nights i was able to make six figures with
my blog the very next year but keep in mind i only made five thousand dollars the first year
but you have to know blogging is a long game it takes time to make money with a
blog and because i understand that i'm now in my third year having another six figure year
and the way that i found my niche was by looking for something that didn't exist i was looking
online for different ways that moms could make money from home because that's what i wanted to
do i wanted to be able to work from home and raise my kids and there were a ton of articles out there
about ways how moms can make money from home but they failed to go more in depth i wanted to know
what my options were as a stay-at-home mom how much i could make how to get started how to do
this at home with kids and i want to see an actual success story of a mom that's doing this today
so i would know that it was real i was so frustrated not finding what i was looking for
and after praying and asking the Lord for some guidance i woke up one morning with this grand
idea to start a blog about what i was looking for and to help other people in my same situation
i wanted to be the one-stop shop for moms looking for legitimate ways to make money from home with
kids if they needed information about working from home with kids it would be on my website
and that is exactly what niche sites are it's a one stop shop fully covering a certain topic now
there are three things i want you to know when it comes to choosing a niche the first thing is that
you do not need to be an expert to write about something because i have a site about ways to
make money from home but i had no idea how to make money from home at the time with kids i just asked
other people who did and i shared their stories on my website but if you want to have a site that
gives tax advice or legal advice those are the type of circumstances that i would leave alone
unless you are an expert in those areas the next tip is that research is everything by looking at
other websites and reading their articles i was able to find holes in their articles and that
gave me a competitive edge i knew that by going more in depth about how moms could make money i
could clearly show why my website was better than the others doing enough research on whatever topic
you want to write about should be done before you choose to write about something you should
be able to say that no one is doing it this way and that's how you know you've got something good
and valuable the next tip is to know that you're not stuck writing only about that specific topic
you can also have subtopics like if you were to write about ways to make money you could also
have subtopics like budget debt extra income you know different kind of sub related ideas
i even have holiday articles on my website because i know those articles do well on pinterest and
during the holiday season i want to get that extra traffic and make some more money so as long as you
have a good foundation for your blog you can still venture out a bit so don't think that you're stuck
so when you're thinking about which niche to pick think about a topic that you can't stop
thinking about or talking about think about what you're passionate about or your life experiences
like if you lost a loved one and you dealt with grief pretty well maybe you can help other people
do the same you know think about your own life experiences and how you can help other people
or think about things that you like to learn about whatever it is you want to have some
type of interest in whatever niche you choose so here is a list of profitable niche ideas
now these are just some ideas that a lot of people are interested in and can be pretty profitable but
do not take this as the only possible niches to choose from these are also very broad niche
ideas so you see that i have home here home is very broad i mean like what does that even mean
when you choose a niche you need to narrow it down where you are talking to a certain group of people
so instead of just saying home you could narrow it down to diy home decor on a budget you see that is
a very specific topic catering to a certain group of people my niche is very narrow as well i talk
about work from home jobs for moms not just work from home jobs it's very i narrowed it down even
more down to mom so a specific certain group of people so i know how to talk to these people
okay so now if you think you have an idea about what you want to blog about you need to do some
further vetting to make sure that this can be a profitable niche so the first thing that you want
to do is to see if anyone is interested in what you're talking about so i recommend using google
you can use google to see if anyone is searching for what you want to write about now i did a video
on this that will walk you through the steps to find out if people are actually searching for
what kind of content that you want to write about so i'm going to put that video in the description
below so you can check that out after this video next you need to make sure that you're studying
your competition so don't be intimidated if there are other websites out there that are talking
about what you want to write about remember you just need to find your competitive advantage
what makes your site different from the others now if there are no websites that talk about what
you want to write about that's a red flag that probably means that there is no audience for that
niche or that niche doesn't sell well online so to find out who your competitors are you can do a
google search for whatever you want to write about and those websites that show up in search results
those are your competitors you also want to have an idea of how you're going to make money so look
through your competitors articles and see if they have display banner ads so you can see if they're
making money through ads see if they're writing about certain products or services with links
so you can see if they're making money with affiliate marketing and if you don't know about
affiliate marketing i did a step-by-step guide for beginners that i'll also put that video in
the description below so you can learn the ins and out about affiliate marketing just you guys
know that is how i make the most of my money on my blog also you can check to see if they're trying
to sell their own products you really want to have a good idea of how they're making money so you
can make money too the next question is that you need to determine how you're going to get traffic
to your website so once you start to write your articles how are people going to see it how will
people know about it you need to make sure that you have at least a general idea of how people
can come to your website now for me i get most of my check from google and pinterest i've tried tons
of ways to get traffic to my website and these are the only two platforms that have been able to give
me consistent massive traffic to my website and that is how i get over 200 000 page views per
month on my website and i have videos on how i get traffic to my website using those platforms
so i'll put those videos in the description below as well you also want to see which social
media platforms your competitors are using and see which platforms get the most engagement whichever
one that is is the one that you want to use first to promote your articles so hopefully
now you have a good idea on what you want to blog about and how to make sure that it could
be profitable now if you guys have any questions please let me know in the comment section below
