For a few years now, you've probably heard the term "niche blog" being thrown around, but it recently occurred to me that many people don't know exactly what that means.
Let's define the word "niche" as described by Dictionary.
com:

-adjective- pertaining to or intended for a market niche; having specific appeal: niche advertising.

Does that make it clear for you? I thought not...
I like to describe a niche as either a certain subject or product.
By using those words, it makes it a bit easier to explain.
Here are some examples of very popular niches among internet marketers: * Weight Loss * Online Gaming * Skin Care * Diabetes Get it now? If you build a blog that contains only information about weight loss, then you have a niche blog.
Now to the second part of the title of this post: "How Can I Make Money From It?" I just went to Google and conducted a search for "weight loss.
" Even with the quotes, it turned up over 87,000,000 results! That's some pretty stiff competition, wouldn't you say? So, it stands to reason, the more narrowed-down your niche is, the better chance you have of making money with it.
I gave it some thought and conducted another search for "diet plan.
" I came up with 4.
4 million results.
MUCH better, but still too much competition, right? So, how about "low carb diet plan?" I got 64,300 results.
That's what I'm talkin' about! We've found a tiny niche in the hugely popular "weight loss" niche.
Now all we need is a good, keyword-rich domain name, a few related keywords to base posts on, and of course, a low carb product to sell, and we're in business.
But, of course, that's a subject for another article.
Stay tuned.
