Finding your niche

Creator Insights  with Keiko Lynn

Hi, I'm Keiko!

I've been a fulltime blogger for 12 years.

In this episode: Finding your niche!

When you want to kick-off a blog, finding your own niche is a great place to start!

Lets talk about some types of niches and why it is beneficial to find one.

Its possible to go too broad or too narrow for a niche to be beneficial but finding the sweet spot can:

position you as an authority in your field,

give you more visibility as a big fish in a smaller pond,

and provide structure for your content.

Also: The audience of niche blogs tends to be more intentional, engaged and loyal followers!

There are three levels of niche:

Macro-niche

Niche

Micro-niche

MACRO NICHE

Gives you the most wiggle room.

But more competition and the potential to get lost among similar blogs.

NICHE

This is the Goldilocks sweet spot: not too broad, not too narrow!

MICRO-NICHE

Niching down can narrow your competition, but it also has the potential to narrow down your audience or the longlivity of your content.

How to determine your niche?

Make a list of things you know about and things you like.  If there is an area of overlap, you might have found the sweet spot.

How to determine your niche?

POV: Youre vegan, you are an excellent cook, you love photography, and you have a weakness for comfort food. 

BOOM: You can start a vegan comfort food blog. 

Finally, you should figure out if there is an audience for your niche.
