Its no secret that blogging, when done correctly can be a very lucrative past time. In fact, many people now work full time in the comfort of their own home, with their blog as their main source of income.

New “Bloggers” often have some very important questions about where to start, but the one that comes up the most regularly is about niche selection. What subjects are the best to build a blog around, and more importantly which will make you the most money?

There are several schools of thought in relation to niche selection, and here are some of the best tips for “Bloggers” looking for their piece of the pie.

There are two things you cannot do without if you are to run a successful blog. Content and readers, and you need plenty of both!

You need to choose a subject where there is plenty of commercial interest. Blogs about making money, dating, and weight loss will always be more popular than blogs about plastic bottle tops, and famous historical figures that played musical instruments.

Now whilst there is a mass of interest in the dating niche for example, there is also a ton of competition. Try narrowing your focus slightly and pick a sub-topic of dating. For example, dating for the over 40s. You will still have plenty of interest in your subject, but there is much less competition.

You also need to make sure your sub-topic will provide you with enough content to maintain the blog long term. To keep a blog fresh you need to update it with lots of new and engaging content, which would be very hard with a plastic bottle top blog!
