Side Hustle-Some important things to know
What is niche?
Niche is basically what your blog is about. If you are going to write about health & fitness then that will be your niche. If you have a blog about movies where you write about different kinds of movies like 10 best thrillers of all time or 5 best horror movies then the niche of your blog will be movies. It is important for you to decide a topic about which you are going to create your blog. Blogs which have a niche have more chance to attract visitors and earn money.
Should you do blogging without niche?
It is preferred that if you make a blog, it should be about some particular topic. The reason for that is, blogs that a single topic have more chances of getting noticed. It is also easier to get google to run ads on your blog if your niche is defined. Google adsense is one of the main source of earning from your blog. If your niche is clear you have more chances to get approval from google adsense.
That does not mean that blogs without niche does not generate income. There are lot of successful bloggers who blog without particular niche. You can start your blog with what you feel comfortable writing and then discover your interest in particular topic and then make it your niche. Even if you don’t find your niche its okay. You will eventually find your audience. So, I would say that you should start your blog even if you don’t have niche in your mind. The important thing is you started. You will find your place in blogging world with or without niche.

While making a blog that does not have any particular niche there are some things to keep in mind.
Do’s for blogging without niche
- Do make categories in your blog. Categories are basically your blog posts about different topics. For example, you have written 5 blogs about singing and 5 posts about health & fitness. Make sure you separate those blogs with categories. Making categories can be hard as the beginner but you will learn it eventually.
- Be consistent with your efforts. In the beginning earning from your blog can be difficult and it may take some time. You have to be patient and consistent with your content. Like I say in all my posts that consistency is very important to generate money from your blog.
Don’ts for blogging without niche
- Do not write about something that you have no knowledge about. Whatever you are writing make sure that you at least know some things about that topic.
- Do not write about a topic only one time and then move on to another topic. If you have made a post about singing then make sure you write at least 5-6 blogs about singing. If you write about it only once then you may have difficulty in getting adsense approval on your blog. That does not mean that you have to write 5 post about singing in a row. You can write about something else but remember to write about singing again.
You don’t have to worry about the niche of your blog to earn money. Focus on your content and remember to stay patient and consistent with it. Consistency is the key. Also checkout my other posts, that will help me with my blog.
