Choosing topic for your blog

Till Now You must have chosen what type of bloging service you will use. If not, as a starter you can choose free blog from blogger as it is easy to use but you can also choose WordPress. If you don't know anything about blogging then I suggest you to use Blogger. As you gain experience, later you can choose to use paid hosting.

 After choosing blogger you have to decide on what topic you will be blogging about. Here are a few tips to help you about what you should be blogging.

1.) Find a Topic that you are passionate about.

The whole intention of a blogger is to provide an interesting piece of reading for its readers, but it is also true that a professional blogger can only be successful if he or she writes on topics that interest him or herself. Unless and until you find a topic interesting for yourself,
you can never produce an article that will be engrossing for your readers too. In order to select your own area of interest ask yourself a simple question, whether you will be able to produce numerous articles on that particular topic ten years down the line. If your answer is yes, then go for the topic and your blog will be surely successful one day.

2.)Find if the topic is popular.

If you want to establish yourself as a professional blogger or earn your blog popularity and fame, then another very important consideration that you must take into account is that the topic or subject you wish to write on is popular enough or not. There are millions of subjects in this world on which you can write and hundreds of subject too that might be included in your area of interest. However, selecting the most popular one among them is the key to successful blogging. A topic that might interest you very much must be extremely bizarre and attract a handful of readers only. However, that will never be able to earn your blog the much-needed popularity.

3.)Analyze and think what people might search for

Before writing on a particular topic, try to find out whether it will be in demand in that current situation or it has already become stale news. For instance, you might have done a lot of research on the relationship status of a popular Hollywood actress with her boyfriend and written down a substantial and interesting piece. However, that might fail to attract as many reader’s attention as you have presumed. The simple reason behind this is that the story is no longer in news as the actress might probably have had a breakup by now. Therefore, your toil will go in vain. On the other hand, do a simple trick. Place yourself in the shoes of the common readers and think what you have searched in the net at the present scenario. The answer you get will be the conclusion of your confusion.

4.) Know about your rivals.

It is extremely important to search and find out the most popular topic to write on. However, at the same time, it is equally important to realize that the topic with the top most level of popularity will have many competitions as well and each blogger will try to write loads of articles on that topic to come to instant limelight. If you too follow their footsteps then your blog might just go unnoticed amidst the congestion of articles on similar subject. Be very wise to concentrate on a topic that is second in the level of priority. This way, your articles might have better chances of being read and your blog being visited more often. It is always better to become a big fish in a small pond rather than a small fish among many such in a big pond.

5.)Concentrate on the content of your blog

Before you start writing on a topic and wish for writing more, you need to analyze yourself whether you have enough content to make your article worth reading or not. Blogging is not about creative writing, it is about creating a resource bank for the readers who visit your blog. Therefore, only the passion for writing, the subject of interest and the popularity of the subject will not be able to establish you as a successful blogger. You need to conduct extensive study on a particular subject before finally publishing it on your blog otherwise, the readers can log in to your blog in a hope of finding substantial information on a particular subject, but lack of information might turn them down every time. If things continue this way for a longer time, your blog will earn a bad name for itself.

6.)Create a niche clientele

A vital thing to take into account while creating and writing for a blog is that you must never intend to draw all the readers of the world to your blog. That way none of the readers will be happy as you can never expect to produce interesting and informative pieces of reading for each reader. Thus, the golden rule here to make your blog successful is to focus on a particular segment of people and concentrate on subjects that will interest them. Your readers will be happy to visit your blog repeatedly and you will be happy with the growing popularity of your blog.

 Follow these tips and one day you will be a professional blogger with many readers and lots of traffic.
