Glad you're here! Your 1st step is ... figuring out what you want to write about. This will be your 'niche' (a niche is just a category).
🌸 So, what are you knowledgeable about? What do you enjoy?
🌻 Tip: I recommend choosing a topic that you like! It will make it much easier to blog about.
Here are some common blogging niches:
- Christian faith
- Recipes/cooking
- Nutrition
- Finance
- Home decor/interior design
- Gardening
- Homesteading
- Non-toxic skincare
- Dog care
- Travel/booking/cruises
- Technology
- Software-as-a-service (SaaS)
- Gear/musical instrument reviews
- and more
You can use a tool called Google Trends to search for and analyze certain niches and keywords to see how those searches fluctuate over time.
FYI:
E-commerce is another type of website that we'll talk about later; it’s just the process of buying and selling over the internet. There are different types of products you can sell online, such as digital products (i.e. online courses, social media templates, graphics for stationery, etc.) and physical products (i.e. 100% soy or coconut wax candles, T-shirts, custom jewelry, dog collars, blankets and beanies, handmade soap and skincare products, items made with 3D printers).
**If you just need a simple site for your business - for example, you’re a real estate professional or a business owner and are not planning to update your site frequently - then a static site would be enough. A static site is where there is just info and it's not really updated!
