Nice article. I agree with most of what you said but i don’t think Godaddy is the best host for a blog. There server are slow according to most of the negative reviews they get.

Thank you so much for sharing this information. I agree that the your blog subject should be something that you really interested in. I think this is 1st step that you should do. Think of something you love to talk about.

@Brandon – Thanks for the thoughts. I maybe referring to tech blogs in general, when most of the time the smaller niche blogs source their articles from the “bigger” tech blogs. And who has access to first-hand information coming from manufacturers’ PR machine but these “bigger” tech blogs, right? But I agree, the it’s most enjoyable to read stuff written by people who are passionate about what they are writing.

@InternetHow Blog – Case in point, I recently started two blogs. One about iPhone apps and the other about Eee Reader (which I later on expanded to cover other ereaders as well. Both covering news. Guess which one is doing better? The Eee Reader is doing better than the iPhone blog because there were fewer blogs about ebook readers than there are iPhone apps blogs. Thanks for the comment.

@Thoma – yes, thanks for correcting.

@Teen blogger and Saima – please watch out for part 2.

I would agree with Brandon. I also check smaller blogs within those smaller niches. It all depends on the person. If you carry on producing good content and interact with your readers, etc, you should be able to get your piece from those massive niches. Don’t forget, although a lot of people starting a blog in those popular topics, at the same time a lot of people are abondoning as they can’t come up with original content. Also, the demand for those niches are massive, so there is always space for new quality blogs.

Good article and good tips, but I’m not so sure people should avoid the niches you mentioned. I subscribe to the major blogs you mentioned, but they’re actually not the ones I enjoy the most – I like the bogs that are real and that are written by real people who have a passion for those areas. Plus, it’s a lot like opening a car dealership. Where’s the best place to open one? Next to all the others so that you can take advantage of all the passers by. Just my own thoughts.
