Looking to start a blog but don’t know what your niche should be? Running out of ideas for your blog? Seeking a topic of focus for the publication you dream of owning? Don’t know whether to be a generalist or specialist in your writing? (Short answer: definitely generalist. These are crazy, iffy times we’re living in, so you’ll need to build expertise in more than one beat.)
Here’s just the list you need. Get experimental with it. Mix and match the sphere you’ve been writing on with an unfamiliar one so you can think of hybrid ideas (e.g. mixing ‘personal finance’ and ‘technology’ to come up with stories on online banking, mobile wallets, cryptocurrencies, etc.) or create entirely distinct niches (e.g. by combining ‘travel’ with ‘pets’, ‘parenting’, or ‘disability’).
