    I say screw it and try something no ones done before (or few have) and don't try to jump right into something that already has a ton of coverage. Thats almost asking to fail if you have nothing more to offer than the others...

    Good luck!

    First you need to think about how you're going to monetize the traffic on the blog (adsense, affiliate links, advertising spots). Next go into niches where people spend a lot of money or have a urgent need. Some niches like health, pets and children.

    I say give it up until you have a reason for a blog, or some expertise that you can actually contribute something to a blog besides autoposting other peoples content, or rewriting already posted articles.

    Everyone wants to make money, but this is like saying "I want to open a business, but I have no idea what kind of business...I just want to make some money"

    What I've noticed is if your not ridiculously interested in your topic your not going to write very often. Therefore you should choose a topic/topics that you really like. People will read anything! Just write about what you want to

    Check out google's hot trends. You will get ideas. Also ebay gives you lots of clues.

    Don't go with what market and others find better as niche. at the end you've to write blog for yourself. go with your own favorite. you'll not do good in knows niches if you are not sure about topic and ca't write about it. so find your own niche on which you can write topics.

    I think travel is a good topic to begin - it is very hot at this moment and also have good CPC if you are looking to get some revenue from adsense.

    Before committing your time into blogging, it is better to choose a topic (niche) that you are passionate about, and you will commit yourself to continue blogging about this topic (niche) for the next 3-5 years at least. Even if you commit full time to blogging, it would still take a long time before you can generate more than enough revenue.

    Just go with something that you like and familiar with. I don't know what does interest you so I couldn't decide for that.
