Niche blogging is great for anyone that wants to begin blogging because there are so many available without competition.

You could swoop in and become a recognized expert in a short while by providing quality content for those seeking out more information in the niche.

Definitely a consideration you should consider when you begin blogging.

G,
niche blogging makes a lot of sense . it much easier to dominate in niche blogging than in a niche filled with top bloggers and top players…but like every thing a lot of experimenting and trial will help in selecting a great one. there is surely high risk of failure but failure is just a part of success.
a good example is http://www.gapingvoid.com by Hugh McLeod

Hi Gautam,

I agree with Mark that it’s fun experimenting while you are trying to decide on a niche.

You also need to put in the time necessary to study what questions about your niche people are searching for on Google.

Thanks!

That is a really good thing that you have found yourself a niche on which you can blog on and continue it on a long term basis.

And you do fit into a person who is reaping the benefits of being a niche blogger

Hey, I’m not talking of a small niche. In your example you have taken java and PHP as the niche. But I am saying that instead of taking that as a niche, you should take programming as a niche.

A niche should be broad. If it’s scope really limited, then you cannot expect it to grow. A little bit variations are good for as blog.

I blog on the niche of blog tips. But I also cover blog marketing, search engine optimization, web design. All this because they are related to blogging ad required for a blog’s success.

So, keeping a broader niche is very important, if you need to learn the subject whole 360 degrees

Awesome post, pal. Niche blogging is more focused (and often more profitable) if you choose the right one.

Yes, but the exposure will be a little less. You will be a hereo in your locality. But overall web presence will be very less.

Obviously, if you continue to blog and other bloggers in your locality start blogging, then you can expect to rise in s few years

Actually certain niches like making money online are already very saturated. But making a mark among this saturation is not very difficult, if you a firm paln in your mind. you just need to execute it.

You made a good point here.
Guest Blogging does ease up our work, but you can expect guest articles, only if you have already posted a no. of articles and gained a good reputation in blog-o-sphere.

But you can expect help from your blogging friends. That is best support you can get. You can get them to write for you and also help you in marketing your blog

Hi Gautam,

I would guess that, from most people’s perspective, blogging about a specific topic is a good thing. After all, if you want people to visit your site, it would be easier if they have an idea of what to expect beforehand.

For whatever reason, people seem to like knowing that they will find something that they expect and like when they go in search of something to read (or eat, etc).

I am working on determining what my niche will be, so I am experimenting right now. So far, it is really fun.

Have a good day!

Oh That’s great work Ryan. Keeping motivated is one of the toughest challenges faced by bloggers and you seem to have overcome it.

Once you reach a certain level, you don’t “run out of material”.

By the way, great work on your ebooks and stuff.

A little bit diversion is sometimes good, but you can also have a seperate blog where you throw your blogging tips once in a while. The reason why I think we should seperate out some posts is because the audience may not like it.

But sometimes, you can try a little bit of blogging tips in your articles
