What's going on everybody? This is Andre here with the niche blogging tips podcast, there are so many niche blogging, ideas or so many niches in blogging. And for some people, it's kind of hard to determine what they're going to write about, you know, what type of platform that they want, are, maybe you're just building just niche sites, you know, it's a, it's a hard task for some people. But I am going to discuss a few niche blog and ideas for 2022. And we're going to keep it very simple, simplistic. So we like we like simple.

One of the things are one of the actually my mindset and going into this is I'm always looking at I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel, I guess. That's exactly what I wanted to say. Not trying to reinvent the wheel. In other words, when I think about niche sites and niche blogging, I'm thinking about simple things such as you know, what's, what's an area that gets a lot of traffic that not that I can go into, but kind of that the sub of those of the bigger picture.

So what niches within the one niche has a lot of traffic going into it. So I think a lot of times we look at the broadness of different niches, we look at the, the kind of the overall perspective, really of anything. And you kind of get lost in that, because what you'll run into, you'll run into other sites that have been blogging, they're more established, they've been doing this for a long time.

So you know, you're kind of looking at their, their life's work, so to speak. And then you kind of get discouraged because you like, Damn, how am I going to, you know, how am I going to, to, I should say, How am I going to get this thing in Google Search? How am I going to get this same with anybody? How can I pull that traffic when they've been quote, unquote, doing this for 10 years. And so you kind of want to get out of that mindset of this big broad picture, type deal in terms of niches or whatnot.

So when you're dealing with I'll give you an example of one particular area, let's say the beauty area, you know, we there are so many so many different niches in the beauty field. So even have you know, things such as, I guess one of the things that let's say if you are a hairstylist, you know, it's a great niche to get into, let's say if if you if you're into some type of makeup, now know a lot about you know, the niche or whatnot, but makeup, so if you are maybe you have some specialty makeup that nobody's talking about. It's popular, but nobody's writing about it, or what have you. So just try to narrow down whatever niche that you decide to go into, narrowed down and have the right mindset for it. Also, an idea when you are dealing with blogging, a niche blog, and for 2022.

One thing you want to keep in mind when you first start off, you probably want to write a certain amount of articles at the beginning, you know if it's, maybe it's a you know, and that probably will depend on how you plan on getting traffic to the blog. If it's something like just a blog in itself, then you're dependent more so on Google search. So make sure you you know if it's a low competition, and that's one of the things that we want to stress also, if it's a low Competition niche, then you can probably have less articles on it, you might want to write about 20 articles. So let that be a goal, make sure you put out 20 articles in a particular time, or maybe 30. Also, or maybe 30 articles, what that's gonna do is by writing those 30 articles ASAP, as soon as possible, what it's going to do is gonna start to tell Google that, hey, you're here, but you want to make sure you write those articles, you want to separate those articles.

Also, in other words, you want to, you want to have, you want to have three particular topics, you know, sometimes I'd say four or five, depending on what it is, but three particular things that you want to talk about within the one topic that everybody came there for anyway. So you want to make sure that your narrows possible, but get you get your 30 articles out there real quick, and then put out article every week, or maybe every bi weekly, or you probably are in a niche where you can block monthly. So that's an idea for you.

Also, another thing that I want to talk about is, you know, finding, finding, I guess, different trends. You know, I spoke about Google Trends, and a previous podcast episode. And another one also, that's very popular as a website called exploding topics. So that's kind of gonna give you an an, you know, give you an idea of, you know, what's what's being talked about similar to Google Trends, or whatever. So you know, just giving you giving you some more some more resources on how you can find different niches. One thing also you should be mindful of is all of your social creating all of your social media platforms.

And even if you are focusing on one, let's say you got your blog going on. And then you know, you want to focus on making YouTube videos, that's, that's all fine and dandy, and I'm all for that. But make sure that you at least open up a Facebook page, start a Facebook page, Facebook fan page and whatnot, in your Instagram page, make sure you start that and all the other social networks also is going to be very important down the line when you start putting out content and how Google looks at looks at you from authority of perspective, and from a somewhat from expert perspective also.

So make sure you are creating all of your social platforms, no matter what here's one thing that allow the experts are not going to tell you is that you really don't have to focus heavily on creating backlinks, backlinks is part of SEO off page SEO, that's basically having a link to your site on an external site on a different site, or what have you. I wouldn't focus on that. And here's what I mean by wouldn't focus on that. What I mean by that is years ago, you could do all these crazy and tricky things to make sure that you get your site on other websites, backlinks is still important, no question about it.

But a lot of times if you just write the articles and and you know, they're they're getting seen and they're getting shared, or you're sharing them elsewhere, or what have you, but once other people start sharing them or whatnot, you're getting backlinks that way, also, you're also getting backlinks, when you are using you're putting your you know your website, in, you know, the profile, using your profile link on other websites like Instagram and stuff like that.

But you're gonna get most of your backlinks from people sharing your work sharing your articles. And that's why I say don't put too much emphasis on it. Because a lot of times people will will, they'll go crazy and start doing things that they shouldn't do, you know, things they used to work 10 years ago, and it's just not working that way. So I would I would focus on my content, and you know, promoting my content more than anything instead of, you know, doing all these Blackhat thingies that used to work 10 years ago. I'm not saying you know, I just wouldn't recommend any of that stuff. It's a whole nother world right now, a whole nother world. So if you have enough content out there, you're providing content and you're, you're doing it consistent, consistently, people are going to find your work, Google is going to find your work.

So I would put that also as an idea you can tuck in for 2022 the year 2022 In terms of niche blog, and ideas, you know, and those are just a few things, few things that that I wanted you guys to know. But make sure that you you know, I'll put the I'll put the link to Google Trends and exploding topics. I'll put that in the show notes at niche blogging tips.com forward slash episode number 12.
