What It’s About

What kind of blog should this aspiring content creator build?

Notes from Chris

Episode 2943

Today, we’re hearing from Rebecca, who’s planning to start a blog as her side hustle. She’s wondering whether it’s better to focus on a specific niche or appeal to a wider audience to grow faster. It’s a common dilemma for bloggers and content creators, so we’ll explore how to make the right choice based on her goals, and why starting with a clear, specific focus is often the best way to stand out.

“Hi Chris, this is Rebecca Nelson, a longtime listener. I’m thinking about starting a blog, and I keep hearing that the more niche your topic, the faster you can grow. But then I see these broader blogs with tons of topics and huge audiences, and I wonder if I should aim for that instead. What’s the best way to start if my goal is to grow an audience quickly and eventually monetize? Should I go niche, or is there a way to balance that with appealing to a wider audience?”
