How do you choose a topic?

    I want to start a blog, not for business or money, on niche ideas that have been done a million times before, like mesothelioma, but just a personal, normal, blog.

    But I can't think of a topic to write about. I'm not an expert in any fields. I can't just write about my life, I'd get no readers. What should I do?

    Honestly, I think Relationships and Sex are the hot topics That is what sells. Sad but true. The make money at home and internet marketing is way too saturated. Another items that is quite popular nowadays is the whole "going green"
    Recipes is another good one. Gardening too!!!

    Probably you need to find something you are good at, you can't start a blog in excitement, write for x days & just stop coz you are out of ideas!?
    Makes sense eh?

    What are some of your interests or hobbies . . . ? It is always easier to write about something that you have knowledge in - best of luck on your blogging journey -

    Let me ask an obvious question. Why start a blog if you have nothing to blog about?

    I'm sorry, I can't repeat all that "Niche research process" here...
    But you could have searched the forum/google before starting this thread...

    Anyway
    I would recommend going for one, you can write about without screwing you head :)
