Patrick wanted to start a blog in a niche. Since he was a newbie, he decided to email an A-list blogger in that niche to seek her opinion about starting that niche blog. The A-list blogger told Patrick, “that niche is crowded, he should find another niche to blog about”.
The niche I am particularly referring to is the make money niche. This blog is a tech blog with blogging tips, but I read make money niche blogs. Some bloggers in the make money niche complain that the niche is crowded. They say that the possibility of you making money is slim. Everybody blog about the same topic. Everyone has the same affiliate marketer i.e almost all make money blogs have either neverblueads, rocketprofit, performancing ads, market leverage or pepperjam network. They advice newbies to stay clear of the make money niche. Well, I think they just want to have all the money for themselves. I am saying because I have done a little research with google using submit keyword tracker and google insight.
On the keyword tracker, I used the keyword “make money” and this is the result
From this you can see that there are make money has 627 daily search and google will give higher priority to already established blogs. This sounds discouraging right? You don’t have to be. After searching for the keyword, you use google insight to search for the keyword “make money”. This is the result
This shows that almost 100% of the google search from Nigeria is related to make money while 31% is from United States. Other countries have less search results. This means that the people in other countries don’t know anything making money online. Your goal is to make them aware of the online opportunities.
if you are in Patrick’s shoes, what will you do?

Go for it ..although there are established players , the internet market is very large..it may take time to make a decent income…but stick to it
Blogging needs dedication
It’s all about content. If you provide quality content people will find you regardless of how saturated the niche is. I recently started a design blog (which is a pretty crouded niche) and have already carved a spot out for myself just by providing regular, quality content.

I can see that. I just visited your blog.
I say do whatever you want to do. Nothing would stop me from doing a blog about whatever I want. Listen to your heart and put it to action.

That is right. Do what you love and the readers would come.
Found this post via Problogger. Interesting post.
I think if you find the process of writing and blogging enjoyable, then a crowded niche is irrelevant. Surely, if blogging is to be fun and a successful pursuit then you need to want to write about a particular area - that will come across to your readers. Content is king, as they say, and there’s always room for quality.
Content is the king. The goal of content is to leave an indelible memory to your readers.
Good title for the contest and I think it’s great to take the risk and blog how you want to blog, but be prepared for a difficult climb to popularity if you choose a crowded niche. Take care!

Good point! Statistics show a different story. I agree that not all are aware of making money from the internet. Even my old friends wonder how I pull of a good income from simply working online.
The A-list blogger overlooked the possibility that “making money” topic is not yet “crowded” on other countries. Money making blog marketed their audiences on “crowded countries”.
I think this is a potentially good lead.

Don’t listen to anyone. If you want to blog about making money online, about computer related stuff or what ever, JUST DO IT!

I have to agree with this post.
Don’t listen to them — who knows, those “gurus” might just be scared of you dominating the niche. Hah!
