One of the first step in making a profitable blog is selecting a niche that could generate revenue. Not every niche topic is profitable for example is, life tips blogs, one of the reason it will not generate revenue is because there are no advertisements about that said topic. Adsense will have a hard time giving you ads to display.
If you want to succeed you should keep in mind of your Interest, hobby and expertise as well as popularity, competition and profitability of that topic when choosing a topic area.
Here are my tips on how to choose a profitable blog niche
1. Make a blog out of your hobby or interest. Do you like designing your own clothes? then share and make a blog about it, who knows someone might just discover you. The important thing is you have fun doing it. For start ups, money is not the main reason why you blog.
2. Topic area must be huge. Choosing a niche should not only be of your interest, but also has the potential to attract a huge amount of visitors. Don't blog about yourself, because it will not generate income. You also need to select a topic where you can create a lot of articles so that readers will be coming back everyday looking for something new.
3. Search volume must be high. If you have selected a niche where only a hundred people search it every month, then don't do it, you will not make a profit out of it.
