Are you looking for micro niche blogging topics. Finding micro niches within a niche can be done using Google’s keyword planner tool. I found the keywords for this site through using the planner.
Here’s a short video explaining how it’s done.
Micro Niche Blogging Topics
What are your micro niche blog topics going to be about? As you can see in the video, there’s all kinds of long tail keywords which come up. In order to blog about any given keyword with any amount of intelligence, you’ll need to know something about it. Of course you can research pretty much any topic with Google but having a background in a certain topic will give you a massive advantage. It’s much easier and quicker to blog around a topic you know well. So it’s well worth choosing a topic which you have some affinity with.

Micro Niche Blogging Topics – Pick A Topic
So if you have a topic in mind, tap that keyword into the planner and do a quick search. Use the monthly search tab to click into the less competitive long-tail keywords. This should bring up a few ideas which you can base your articles around. Of course these longer tail keywords won’t have as may monthly searches. But it’s far better to have a higher ranking on Google for a low competition keyword than to never get a single hit going for the massively competitive ones.
Here’s a few blog topic ideas which you can delve down into using the keyword planner strategy:
Scrapbooking, martial arts, cushion making, basket weaving, mushroom harvesting, wood carving, stamp collecting, growing your own vegetables, toy making, record collecting, toy train set landscaping, fish tank decorations.
Think also about a broader niches which you can dive into for a very specific topic. Do keep in mind that it’s going to be difficult building content on a subject you know nothing about. So ideally find something you have a passion or interest for.

The Problem With A Niche You don’t Care About
I looked into niche website building some years ago. A friend on mine had a potato harvesting website which was ranked highly on Google. So I looked into other vegetables as a possible niche website. I found the keyword “When To Harvest Mushrooms” had a good number of monthly searches and was pretty un-competitive. So I built a site around those keywords: (whentoharvestmushrooms.com).
I researched my content before every post and this took some time. I spent several months building content about mushrooms. After that I was pretty fed up of it. My site did reach top of Google for its keywords but it was a difficult niche to monetise. I used Adsense and found an affiliate site which offered a related product.
However, I lost interest in writing content because I had no interest in harvesting mushrooms. I was only trying to earn an income from the site. That was my motivation. Sure enough another site came along and knocked mine from top place. They had a passion for what they were doing. They were including videos and updating regularly while also interacting with their visitors. I eventually gave up my site after it had fallen from the first page.
The point is it’s much easier and more enjoyable and more lucrative to choose a topic you care about. You’ll still get bored of it but at least you’ll be going in the right direction!
Finding Your Niche
Finding your niche is key to building a good blog which you’re proud of. What are you about? What do you like and what do you think about the most? What’s the first thing you want to tell someone about when you first meet them? This usually signifies some kind of passion or interest. If you can identify this, that’s where you should focus your efforts.
A blog is a slow strategy for building traffic. If you do it out of passion, you’ll have a lot more fun on they journey and you’ll have a greater chance of finding success. If you’re not sure what your passion is yet, have a look at Ikigai.
Ikigai is a Japanese term meaning “reason for being” or “thing that you live for”. Defining your ikigai can help you identify what kind of blog niche you are really passionate for. Finding this is much more likely to help you in the long run to build a successful blog. Chasing the money over any keywords which you think will “work” is not going to give you the best foundation for a successful blog.
Micro Niche Blogging Topics – Summary
Ideally find a niche interest which excites you and which you can blog around for years to come. Don’t think about the money first. Which two keywords summarise your main blog topic? It could be “self help” or “affiliate marketing” or even “personal development”. Think about what you most like to talk about, or think about. Identify your ikigai and start to focus in on what really drives you. What would you write about if money wasn’t an issue?
Once you’ve identified your passion and ikigai, you can start researching your keywords. I built this site around the keywords in the domain name. You can see how I did it in my article create free website and earn money. This came from using the free keyword planner I use in the video above. Once you’ve found a good keyword to base a website around, you can delve further into that keyword to find other keywords for your articles.
