What Is a Niche Blog?

Niche blogs are blogs that have a narrow focus. Some “niche down” even further into what’s known as a micro-niche blog. In our last post on the types of blogs, I used pet blogs and a pug blog. These fall into niche blogs and micro-niche blogs respectively.

Picking Your Blog Niche

I wasn’t sure what to write about when I first started blogging. It’s a hard decision and not one to be taken lightly like I did. Blogging takes a lot of work and you don’t want to waste your time by starting down the wrong path.

And by wasting time, I mean blogging about topics that have little to no potential for generating a great income. If you’re going to start blogging, you want more than pocket change. That’s what most bloggers earn… If they’re lucky! Why? They pick the wrong niche!

Let’s get you going in the right direction from the get-go. That starts with understanding the different types of blogs which we covered in our last post and blog niches which we cover in this three-part series.

This is the first post in a 3 part series on niche blogs. Be sure to check out the other two. And if you haven’t read the post covering the different types of blogs you should. You might need to start one of the other blog types and not a niche.

The 7 Best Broad Blog Niches

There are seven top blog niches that are broad in nature. These broad niches have the potential of bringing you the most money. So many sub-niches exist within each. Niching down and getting more focused is often best. These seven broad niches cover basic human needs.

What Do People Need?

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is often covered in psychology classes. Do you happen to remember studying this theory by Abraham Maslow?

The Maslow’s Hierarchy is typically shown in the shape of a pyramid with the largest and most fundamental of needs being at the bottom. I’ll list them in order from the bottom to the top.

  • Physiological needs like food, water, shelter, sleep, and sex.
  • Safety and security needs. These would include personal safety, emotional security, financial security, and physical well-being.
  • Social belonging needs which would cover the need for family, friends, and social groups like those found at work, school, and in sports, religious groups, and through involvement in various organizations.
  • Self-esteem needs like respect, recognition, status, and fame.
  • The need for self-actualization which involves reaching one’s full potential.
  • The need for transcendence which would be the need for something beyond oneself. A higher level of human consciousness or spirituality.
