Sometimes it can be difficult to choose, so it may be better to decide on something which you have a passion for as you will be investing a lot of time developing content about your niche.
What Are Your Choices For A Niche?
See the following reference for more brainstorming ideas for choosing your niche for your blog.
Blogging Basics 101: Choosing a Blogging Niche
Finding the Right Niche for Your Blog (Plus 21 Blog Niche Ideas)
Choosing a niche for your blog could be almost any subject imaginable, provided that it satisfies the following criteria:
1) It must be a subject which is of interest to people, an audience because these are the potential customers for your product or service.
2) It must be legal.
3) The subject must not be too broad, otherwise, the subject will not be of sufficient focus for your audience, and it will be difficult to promote because the audience is potentially too large, and there is too much competition.
For example, Health is a subject which is too broad for a niche. There is too big a potential audience size, so we need to narrow things down to Men´s Health, or Women´s Health, or Healthy Diet, or Exercise for Health, which can be again broken down by gender or category, or by country or area.
Here are some examples of Niches which may help you when trying to find inspiration, but this is by no means a completely exhaustive list, it is just for illustration:

Ok, the problem with me is that I have too many interests. I’ve been cracking my head to come up with a so-called specific niche for my new blog and I am actually thinking about mixing things up a bit here.
For example, can I do photography and outdoor living together? I love to travel and take pictures of the nature so I think it would be a great idea to show people how to do some cool stuff outdoors.

Hi Cathy, I think your idea is a good one and is possible if you were to look on Facebook to select an audience based on those two sets of interests. I am not suggesting you have to use Facebook, only that i have used that method there to identify a specific niche (audience) using two parameters (interests). Alan

I usually go for my passions. It’s easier to write about some topics related to it. It will also be more natural towards your selected audience.

Hi Emman, Thanks for your helpful comment. I agree with you that it is easier to choose a subject which you are keen on, and you will get more from engaging with your audience as well, I think. Alan

You are so right, selecting a niche that is enjoyable to you is very important. Imagine writing content something that you can’t stand, it would be horrible. I like your list of niche examples. This is very helpful for those that are just starting out. Great post!
