There are important components involved in choosing a niche topic. I’ve found the topic must not only be profitable but be personally interesting, one that I may even feel passionate about.

Here are some questions I asked myself:

Is this a subject I like or that I’m fascinated with?

It’s important not to allow yourself to get ho-hum bored with your niche. After all, it’s an on-going work in process that you must continually think about and create daily.

Can I profit from this product?

A very significant aspect is money. I believe it must all work together in harmony with your other reasons for creating a niche.

Can my niche become a hub?

This is what eventually will happen in the long-term if I’ve chosen my niche wisely. And perhaps it will turn into a gateway to other niche sites. This is my goal.

Do I understand the SILO structure for building my niche?

I think the SILO  is the way to build a niche. I’ve studied the structure and believe I’m beginning to understand it fairly well now.

Can I have fun with my niche?

Yes, fun is of extreme importance, to me it’s probably #1 — My motto is to have fun and enjoy what you’re doing. It’s the yummy frosting on the cake and shows up in your work.

This has been a growing experience for me, especially since I’ve changed my niche topic around three times. Right now I’m on the third topic and I’m considering it to be the charm. Due to this it has taken me a little longer than expected to get my site up and running, however I believe it’s worth it.

Thanks for reading.

Until next time.

My best to you and to your success.
