1.What is a Niche?
A niche is a focused topic or area of interest that you build your blog around. It’s the theme of your blog, your content’s identity, and the reason someone chooses to read your blog over the millions of others.
But here’s the catch: broad is boring. If your blog is about “everything,” you end up reaching no one. But if your blog is about “budget travel for Indian couples,” that’s a niche with personality.

Real-Life Examples of Winning Niches
A 24-year-old started a blog called “Minimalist Home Vibes” and reviews home organization tools. She earns via Amazon affiliates and sells printable planners.
A Kerala-based travel blogger focuses solely on “offbeat eco-resorts in South India.” His niche content helped him land tourism board partnerships.
A Gen Z fashion blogger on Instagram only does “college campus looks under ₹1000.” That’s hyper-specific—and her followers love her for it.
The takeaway? Specificity builds trust. General blogs are hard to grow today unless you're already famous.
Remember, your first niche doesn’t have to be your forever niche. Many successful bloggers pivot as they grow.
But don’t let indecision stop you from starting. Choose a niche that feels true to you, create a few posts, see how it feels—and adjust as you go.
You don’t need perfection. You just need clarity + action.
