Common Topics

There are many common topics used in blogging as a general rule and there are common specialized topics in niche blogging. Let us explore blog topics to help narrow down the broad subjects into more narrow topics. From this list, a group of niche blog topics can be selected then further outlined in your blog planning stages.

I use a blog outline and a focus sheet to create a rough draft of my blogs in the beginning phases. Lately, I have been using a Blog Day Planner to help me stay focused since I have multiple projects in various phases of development.

The areas below will be the subject of exploration and the topic of conversation on this blog in the coming months.

Choosing A Niche Topic

Some points to consider in choosing a "niche topic" or
theme for a "niche blog":

1. Market value of related services, products and information such as books, ebooks, audio and video promotional or teaching material.

2. Is the theme a common one that has already saturated the blogosphere or the internet?

3. Be sure that the niche topic interests both the writer/creator and the reader/market.

4. Choose a theme or topic with "pizzazz" so it will make your heart flutter and your mind race with ideas every time you think about creating a post or an ad for the niche blog.

Just for emphasis and to "showcase" My Niche Blogs I am listing some of the blogs below. As this blog progresses, I will explore with my readers the progress of each blog and examine the successes, failures, tips, lessons, and all aspects of the niche blogs growth.
