Stop Picking A Niche For Your Blog… Pick A Sub-Niche!

One-Stop Portal? No longer a good thing!
Back in 1997, everybody seems to be thinking of setting up a one-stop website… A website where you get to buy cars, sell mobile phones, read articles, write comments, or even to look for a job or business opportunities! This idea was so populated that many one-stop portals were born… But within a few months or so, they were dead too…
Niche Blog is the choice in 2005
I remember everybody keeps on saying that we have to find a niche in our website or else it will be hard to get good prospects. I agree with that! Imagine your website is all about BMW cars! You will attract a lot of people who are interested in BMW… Search engines will be glad to give you results for “BMW” more than just “cars”. Everybody who are in your BMW website, will be very focused about what they want!
But wait! How About Sub-Niche?
Imagine your BMW website mentioned earlier is focusing on the spare parts only. Which means people are interested in buying parts such as wheels, steering wheel, glass, door, engine, etc… They can practically find out every part about BMW except to talk about BMW as a whole… Search engines might give you results for “BMW wheels”… Which means that you have a very qualified visitor visiting your website which your advertisers will be glad to pay for their advertising space!
Pick a sub niche now!
So what defines a niche versus a subniche? Aren’t they really saying the same thing? Number of readers? Number of “fans?” i.e., would Anime be a niche, and a series be a subniche? or would a series be a niche, and a character a “subniche?”
Good suggesstion. That way you can maintain a lot of different sites and divide your time between them.
Yup! Just writing a new post based on that idea… Thanks!
hm.. i don’t know. i am just thinking about not to set a limit/border of my site niche. i think we can get 2 or 3 or more niche on our blog. what do you think?
*ps: btw, have you received my email about partnership offer Charles?
thanks
ah, i guess you’re too busy to read my email and reply this comment
ok thanks.
Are you replying my email?
sorry just online.
oh and i have just paypal-ed you.
thanks
Thanks Jack. I am working on it right now..
2 or more niches make our blog a little saturated… Just imagine your blog is talking about BMW and Mercedes… It makes the blog’s topic focusing on high class cars more than just about BMW or Mercedes…
That’s how many bloggers actually started working on more blogs. One category was to big so they created a new blog out of it. Then another one…
It’s a great thing when you have some experience in that niche, then the success comes much easier. Just repeat the process over again when it’s needed.
Yes Chuck Norris Dude… You are so right about it… Simply duplicate the success… Success breeds success! That’s so true… thanks for sharing..
I’m glad that I can contribute to the post. Some interesting discussions you’ve got here.
Chuck Norris Dude, thank you so much… Glad to see you around!
