Our Niche Clarification Series Continues: What is My Niche?

Go here for the previous post in this series

By Carrie Boyko, All Things Dog Blog

The assignments on my Workbook Page of Niche Clarification Resources should have opened your eyes to the blog that your readers see. Now that you have a good idea of who your readers are, let’s look at what your niche is. Once again, I’ll be using an off-campus activity book to give you homework that I simply cannot fit into a guest post. I encourage you to take your time, sleep on your decisions, and make sure they are a good fit for your passions.

This week’s assignments are much easier than the previous batch, so you can breathe a sigh of relief. Your first task is to identify your role in your blog. You’ll find a list of possibilities at Resources for Organizing Your Themes. You may find that selecting one is difficult; there may be several. 

Now comes the fun part. Your objective is to analyze your current blog themes to determine the combination of all themes that are prevalent, and therefore represent your present niche.

I’ve included an extensive list of possibilities—quite randomly scattered--for you to select from at the Resources page. Take some time to make a list of all the blog themes from this list that you regularly publish material on.

Are any themes missing from my list that belong on yours? Let me know at LetsAdoptaDogPark@gmail.com and I’ll get them added to the list.

Now you get to ask yourself some tough questions. Grit your teeth and dig in:

1. Does this niche have a name, category, or title that will help you explain it to others? In order to effectively market your niche to those that will be interested, you need to be able to summarize your themes into a short statement. Hold that thought while you meander on.
2. Are there themes on your list that stick out as inappropriate to what your overall goals are? Consider your sidebar material, ads and all content when you answer this question for yourself.
3. Do some of the themes on your list fit "well enough," yet still not feel like your passion? Maybe it’s time to let them go.
4. Are some of your most passionate themes missing from your blog

I’ll be back in a couple of weeks to see how you’re doing. We’ll then look at finding the glue to connect your passions into a niche that works with them. Combining the right topics with your themes will help you create a niche that works with your passions AND your new readers to come. See you June 24^th.

[/b]tes. Train yourself to lengthen your meal by engaging in conversation, resting your fork between courses, chewing slowly, and drinking plenty of water between courses. You should also wait at least ten minutes after your main meal before deciding if you need dessert. Within that period of time, you may discover that you weren’t really hungry after all. Another trick is to place serving dishes on the counter and leave them there. As a result, you’ll actually have to get up out of your seat in order to get more food. You may decide that it’s not worth the bother. Or you may find that you discover that you need no more food between courses. Also, do not eat directly from an ice cream carton, tortilla chip bag, or cracker box. Otherwise, you could find yourself easily ov

This means that the sonar is high quality enough to see some of the smallest of objects below and around your boat. This is helpful to know where to cast to and to know what your bait should be as well.The other features that make the Eagle FishEasy’s sonar great include the technology known as FishReveal and HyperScroll. Each of these features is great. Fish Reveal allows you to see the fish hidden in the surface clutter or in the weeds at the floor. Without this, you could miss the fish thinking there was nothing to be caught. HyperScroll helps you adjust your setting easily to match your preferences. And, you’ll get

Even though bulbs are easy to care for, however, it is still important to care for them properly to ensure you will have a garden full of dahlias, lilies, daffodils, tulips and other bulbs. One great thing about bulbs is the colors they come in. Bulb plants come in a wide variety of colors, and a flower bed full of bulbs can be one of the most colorful parts of any garden.As with any type of plant, it is important that your bed full of bulbs receive plenty of water, plenty of sunlight, proper fertilization and a good quality soil. Providing these basic elements is the best way to get your bulbs off to the best start.When it comes to watering bulbs, it is important to remember that a
