Comments on: Niche, Or No Niche, That Is The Question… http://bloggingwithoutablog.com/niche-or-no-niche-that-is-the-question/ Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:30:26 -0600 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: aldar http://bloggingwithoutablog.com/niche-or-no-niche-that-is-the-question/#comment-115358 aldar Fri, 16 Apr 2010 22:18:48 +0000 http://bloggingwithoutablog.com/niche-or-no-niche-that-is-the-question/#comment-115358 First of all great article! I used to have a niche blog, it was about cars because I really liked them, but then if i wanted to blog about something OTHER than cars well, i couldn't and i found that it become increasingly difficult to go to dealerships, ask for info i just didn't have the time. (As I am not a full time blogger). Then I decided on a no niche blog and I think its just awesome! I write about anything that i seem fit to write about. Although i think i am missing out on the niche based die hard fans I feel that I am blogging for me not for anybody else. cheers! First of all great article!

Which is the same content I would have been doing anyway, just posting on 1 blog versus 3.

For many niche bloggers it's like hardwork put into the blog so that it becomes more profitable. With all the seo stuff, link building, advertising, confining to one topic mostly we forget to have fun. I personally like blogs where people express themselves and not just write whats more profitable, optimized and what others expect you to write.

Do what makes YOU happy. There are no steadfast rules in blogging. If you choose to create cartoons for different "niches", they can easily be sorted by using categories, and maybe a tag line that suggests what a reader will find on your blog. You're right, it's best to blog your conscience. Besides, who are those experts anyway? Hi Todd,

You’re right, it’s best to blog your conscience. Besides, who are those experts anyway?

My current blog did not start out as a "blog" per se. It was just a cartoon website for folks working in the field of Information Technology. The humor is very niche. My friends and family have made me painfully aware of this, since I have to explain the meanings of the cartoons in the majority of cases. In this respect I feel a niche limits my potential audience. My natural inclinations tend more towards variety. I would prefer to comment humorously on many topics even outside of the field of Information Technology, but I am hesitant to change format and scope of my current blog. Maybe the best solution is to just "blog your conscience" and forget what "the experts say?" .-= Check out Todd´s awesome post: <a href="http://www.asciiville.com/2009/10/svn-revert-back-to-mtos.html">svn revert back_to_mtos</a> =-.
