Step 2: Choosing your topic

This is the topic I would like to get out of the way as soon as possible, because it is quite a frustrating topic to address, as everyone wants me to tell them the topic they should choose.

If you have been searching the internet for any amount of time, you will see that choosing a niche topic is all the rage. A niche is a highly specific topic which you blog about. So, you may be thinking "Oh, well isn't that easy!". Well, to tell you the truth, it really isn't! Many of the niches you have thought of have already been thought of, or, it has no monetization opportunities whatsoever. This can be a problem, especially if you want to make some cash. If not, then go for it.

Here are some examples of bad niches for monetization: "different rulers"; "crete stone colours"; "the Utah Underdogs". A couple of good examples would be: "Ebook information"; "DVD reviews, news and technology". The reason why ebook info is good, is that when you have ebook all over your page, Google will search this against inventory, see results for free ebooks or something, and display the appropriate ads. This is how all new bloggers should think, as it will tell you how successful your blog could possibly be. Always remember to take into account things such as number of people who will actually read your blog, then you will choose a good topic!

You may be thinking, "Wow, I never knew people thought like that!". Well, the truth is people, it is. Maybe not all publishers do it, but majority do use this tactic. The niche that I chose is not something I would recommend to new bloggers, because it is already so well established, and, there are so many big players that I need to beat, that it is very difficult to beat them (I am trying though :)).

Basically, the whole point of this post is, to help you choose a good topic. I hope I've helped you on your way to choosing a good niche. Remember, choose a niche for high monetization!
