Choosing a Blog Niche
3 Big Mistakes New Bloggers Make
When Selecting a Niche
1. Soul-Searching for Your Passion
Passions are not “found.” They are developed through trying different things and
discovering what you are good at and what you like to do.
2. Only Focusing on Profitability
If you are writing about content you don’t like or have knowledge about, it will show.
You will sound mechanical and people will see right through you.
3. Avoiding Competition
Competition is a good thing! It means there are tons of people interested in a certain
topic! The market is NOT “over-saturatured.” There is always room at the top.
Easy, 2-Step Formula for Finding
YOUR Blog Niche
1. What's the ONE thing you can't shut up about?
A blog is essentially a conversation between you and your readers. What would your
friends say you can't shut up about? Don't dig deep. It should be a natural thing.
2. Be Specific, if Possible
Blogging about specific sub-topics attracts a more targeted audience.
Example: Avocadu >> Health >> Dieting >> Weight Loss >> Fast Weight Loss

Choosing a Blog Name
Setting the Right Expectations
for Domain Names
1. Many domain names that you want will already be taken.
Domain squatters purchase a ton of domain names to resell them for a profit. Do
not pay a bunch of money for a domain name.
2. Consider a .CO if your .COM is taken.
If you want more availability to choose from, consider a .CO instead of a .COM.
They are rising in popularity and it will give you more options.
3. Your content matters FAR more than your blog name.
A blog with a great domain name can have sh*t content and a blog with a shi*t
domain name can have GREAT content and be super successful.
Example: A-VO-CA-DU is hard to spell, hard to pronounce, and it still makes six figures.
