Article: Choosing a profitable blog topic

July 22nd, 2005 | Category: Technology

Just as I am planning onto becoming a problogger, Darren wrote an interesting article on his blog about the principles of choosing a blog topic, which is the ultimate trick for success in problogging. Basically, its what you choose to blog about that matters. Its important that what you are writing is profitable and has little competition. For example, the topic of “scuba diving” earns more than “aquatic sports” because “scuba diving” is narrower and exact. Do a lot of research on your choice of topic and be sure to note the demand for your topic to ensure ongoing readership. But don’t choose a topic that is too common either, you don’t want you readers to rather read elsewhere.

There are a lot more factors that you should look into before setting your foot onto a new venture, such as, availability of content and revenue streams. If problogging is in the back of your mind, then you should very well read Darren’s blogpost. I bet you that its very intriguing. Then, I might as well add this anyway. For those who doubt Darren’s credibility on problogging, his blog at www.problogger.net was slashdotted last Sunday with an increase of 33,000 visitors that earned him a total of US$1,004 on that day alone. Isn’t that terrific? So you want to know his secret? Hop over to his blog, but don’t forget to come back here. :-Þ

    Hi Yvonne, good luck with the ProBlogging…I’m set to make my first $100 by the end of today!

    Thanks for your input on my new design : ) Getting a new banner created is my top priority! I also agree that the middle column is a bit large, but this is a trick you will see many profitable blogs using…it doesn’t make for a perfectly beautiful page, but does tend to lead the eye towards ads, etc.

    While making money is not my top concern, due to our ever-increasing debt it is definitely ONE of my priorities ; ) Lori & I are just barely getting by, so if I can provide some good info, AND make some money that’s all right by me…

    Talk to ya’ soon,
    -Cary
    P.S. Have you decided what you are going to blog about?

    [...] Choosing a niche topic This has been previously discussed in one of my earlier blogpostshere. Unless you wish to blog about your personal life and have no interest in earn some extra dollars, I’d suggest that you pick a theme for your blog and stay close to the main subject. This is especially essential if you intend to earn a profit from you blog through advertising and Google adsense. Having a niche topic will invite a specific group of readers, who are more likely to click on the relevant ads in on your blog. [...]

    Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
    I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
    God will appreciate it.
