Are you struggling with finding a topic to start blogging about?

Over the years, I’ve had several friends faced with the same dilemma. Working with them, I was able to help them identify a topic and now they are all running profitable blogs.

One of my friends is a dental student, and was trying to find a topic he could blog about. He really likes baseball and cars. He was leaning towards blogging about cars until I sat down with him in a brainstorming session.

By brainstorming we found the perfect niche for him focused around his interest and specialized knowledge. It was writing about the topic of dentistry. Being a student the topic is fresh in his head and he can add a unique twist to his blog based on his current experiences in dental school.

You can do the same, but it is important you find a topic you can stick with. The number one reason bloggers fail is topic selection.

When you create a blog you’ll want to have a topic you love. Not just some everyday topic but a topic you are really passionate about. It’s that simple, and that’s the key to all successful blogs.

Remember your not just blogging about your topic. Your building friends on social networks, joining groups and engaging yourself in the topic all over the web. If it’s a topic you don’t like then everything from writing to building relationships will seem hard.

To provide a huge boost to ensure success, try to select a topic around your hobbies, interests, and particular experiences. Everyone has some passion or hobbies that can be used to build a blog to earn money online.

Here are some questions to ask in helping you find a topic:

  • What sports do you like?
  • What non-work related area do people ask you about at work?
  • When just surfing the internet for pleasure, what sites do you visit?
  • What job related skills do you have? Any specialized skills?
  • Do you have kids? What experiences do you have?
  • At a party if you have to speak with a person what topic would you prefer?
  • What type of books do you like to read?
  • Do you have firsthand experience with health or medical conditions ?
  • If you asked your best friend, what would he or she say you are most knowledgeable about?
  • What is your favorite hobby?
  • If you retired today what would you do all day?
  • What volunteer activity would you do if you had all the time in the world?
  • Are you knowledgeable or experienced with finance, home improvement, travel, relationships, photography, cars, or anything in your daily life?

It’s that simple. Just sit down and brainstorm and find that one area you are super passionate about. That will be the first step for you starting a successful blog that can make online income.
