The niche is dead, the only profit there is selling ebooks, but right now everyone already knows everything you want to put down in an ebook.

what niche will best fit nigerian audience

Sasuwa:
what niche will best fit nigerian audience
First of all you need to know what topic are good at and you are very interested in it. Niche that can attract nigerian audience include entertainment, politics, personal finance, jobs, relationship, inspiration, news, education, technology, etc you can even start a blog on just Apple products but you must have interest in Apple products and be willing to spend money buy and reviewing such products.

You should also note that there are some niche blogs that people visit only when they are searching for information, they wont visit your blog again once they get such information.




Entertainment and news bligs are even already oversaturated but that doesnt mean people are not making it from such blogs, the main thing is you might never be an authority in that niche.

Blogging has now become what most people aspire to engage into. Thanks to Adsense, Linda Ikeji's banana house, Harsh of ShoutMeLoud's Fame and others that contributes to people gasping to BELONG.
However its now new thing that most blog beginners gave up easily at an early stage simply because they do not made research very well before they starts. Am now going to list below 5 Things Every Blog Beginners Must Know Before KickStarting A Blog
.
.
.
1 - Know Why You Want to blog: There is more to this other than that, ''i just wanted to make money''.
.
.
2 - You need to become a writer: if you detest writing, am sorry to dissappoint you that blogging might not works for you and maybe you should go for something else. Because the different between a website and a blog is A R T I C L E S!
.
.
3 - Platform of Choice - Wordpress and Blogger are not the only blogging platform out there but they are the most populous. Find time to sit and ruminate on the one you can use (depending on personal, financial, and other reasons)
.
.
4 - Not all that Glitters are Gold: Your friend tells you once you creates a blog, you can use BLACKHAT to start ranking on search engine, to earn money, to acquire adsense, blah blah blah. Believe my brother, all these might burn your hand at the end
.
.
5 - Read Other's Blog too: If you want to learn more, earn more, get better exposure, connect more, then you need to READ AND COMMENT ON OTHER PEOPLE'S BLOG.
.

Yeah
then have you made your choice as to whether you're going to use the blogger or wordpress platform.
Moreover which niche(topic) do you want to blog on?

If u like follow 10 ways,100 ways to this .... the Nigerian attitude towards blogging won't allow them to go far even the OP knows that.

lol @Cherishing | your words are true though but it doesn't apply to ALL| this simple article might be what 'someone' needs to become 'somebody'

kunlesufyan:
Op in writing articles for a blog,is there a limit to the no of words one should write and when one starts his/her blog,wats thefastest way to promote it?
There is a limit, and it depends. For Akaahan Terungwa of NotoPoverty.Info , his article are usually long and very informative| personally for me, i don't make it too short (not having meaning) and too long (which might cause boredom)
Like i earlier said, it all depends

Nice one @OP. I don't know how u can help me out I'm also planing on that but not basically on gain purpose.
Not for gain purpose? | i just hope you won't change your mindset along the line *winks* | what topic do you want to discuss on?

delivite:


On the second point, becoming a writer is not mandatory when starting a blog. there are lots of other ways one could get genuine, original content and still succeed at blogging. I agree, knowing how to write helps. It's just not a make or break factor.

Wordpress and blogger are not the only platforms, but seriously, when it comes to blogging, look no further than blogger (free blog) or wordpress (self-hosted blog). The two stand head and shoulder above any other platform out there. I use wordpress for my blog (signature link) and I don't think any other CMS measures.

I totally agree on the fourth point. To succeed at long term profitable blogging, stay away from black hat. very important. Do everything by the book.

#2 - You mean like entertainment niche, or copying from another website and modifying it to yours?

#3 - Blogger and Wordpress stand head to shoulder though but that doesn't mean people don't use other platform. Just that those platforms are not so that known to us for Naija

#4 - Thanks for agreeing with me on this. *shakes hand*

Nigeria's unemployment rate has saturated the blogosphere. so much blogging



The funny thing is person wey just start blogging last week go come dey form say him be Entrepreneurs lmao

it has indeed saturated it and thats why people who go into with wrong mindset gave up very early. 1000 people might starts today, check back 2years later and you'll hardly find 500!
Blogging and entrepreneurship doesn't relates, there is only ONE thing that can makes a blogger regards him/herself as an entrepreneur

When everyone becomes blogger who'll read the news on blogs? undecided
Blogging is not about sharing those news and gist you hear all around, its about sharing rare knowledge and information that will either teach people something new or solves their problem. | now you get it?

Nature129:
OP, you raised very salient points I must say. But you really need to work on your use of English for anyone to take you seriously as a blogger. Well, I tried so hard to overlook it, but some people may not.

thanks for the appreciation | never mind my use of english, i had to rush the write-up then before my device was out of battery (you know how electricity dey for 9ja currently) | AND am too LAZY now to edit it back
