Writing is an
art and when it comes to the blogging, it becomes technical because bloggers
need to keep their niche always into consideration while choosing any topic to
write on as well as to keep alive the relation with their loyal readers
throughout their contents.
Well, I am not
going to discuss about shinning tools and techniques of topic selection because
these are just few clicks away and you just need to give the relevant keywords
to google search engine and limitless results will appear in a second but here
in fact I will be sharing my own experience which did not only prove to be
successful for my blog but also I am pretty sure that it will make your efforts
fruitful as well in your blogging career.
When I started
this blog, I had the lot of questions regarding blogging and among all, topic
selection was one of the biggest challenge because I wanted to bring on
something new or creative which will have a positive message for the people
related to my field of work as well as for general public but I was a bit
confused and used to ask below questions at different platforms like..
How to choose
the topic for any particular niche?
How can be the
research done as well as how to get arranged the relevant material to write on
for the selected topics?
And many other
similar questions, believe me I used to get the same kind of tips and tricks
which I could find through search engines as well.
Oh, I think I
have taken your enough time to reach at the point but thanks for being with me
till here. Let’s move on…
Initially I
started writing on random topics but soon I realized that I am squeezing list
of my readers by myself because in blogging you first need to build a relation
with your loyal readers first who will not only keep reading your thoughts and
ideas but also their valuable inputs will bring a lot more other readers as
well which will help you to increase your blog traffic and ultimately earning
as well J
Keeping my
field of study and work into consideration I started with the niche
(Apparel/Textile/Marketing/Merchandising) and again all these are broader
fields but I was not going to write something technical for these subjects in fact
I had the aim to share my own experiences which as a merchandising manager I
learnt through travelling and meeting with my clients as well as through people
related to my field directly or indirectly.
It is just a
matter of jolting your mind and keeping a deep eye for the events and
happenings in your surroundings, you will get a lot of things which your blog
is demanding from you and yes when I took this initiative I suddenly observed
many areas where my fellow merchandisers/marketer need some knowledge as well
as through different events which had been part of my life and with the the help of them, I could extend my
trust and working relation with my customers.
So I decided to
choose and write on the topics which are equally important for everyone, here I
am just giving you two examples. Seeing my blog, you will notice a lot of
general topics but behind every topic there is a reason which was the source of
my encouragement to write on for that specific topic.
Every
merchandiser or marketer meet with different people locally and internationally
and same thing happens with me, one day we had a meeting with our American
client and once we got free and started with routine gossips, one of my fellow
colleagues asked them “Why Americans don’t love cricket like baseball ?” and it
was the complete silent because no one was able to give the answer except his
own personal opinions in general but here I got my topic to write on because I
knew this is something which everyone wants to know the answer so why shouldn’t
I do some research and write on it.
Yes, this topic
blast and boosted my blog traffic and as evidence you can see that it has
become the most popular article of my blog whereas it has nothing related to my
niche directly.
I also wrote
about “Lake Saif-ul-Malook” because it was some recreational trip which was arranged by our company, we enjoyed a lot and I took
some amazing pictures for this heavenly beautiful place, when we returned I
posted all those pictures on my blog with a little detail and share the link of
my post with all my customers and friends and believe me it became another hit
which has not been adding visitors to my blog daily but also it helped me to give
positive image of my country to my international clients as well.
Let me conclude
this article where I must say in the end, if you have entered into this
blogging career then you should always focus on your niche and if you have
something to write on any general topic then never forget to add some essence
for your loyal readers into it because they believe and trust in you for what
you write and that will be something in favor of them.
Finally keep reading and always be the part of different platforms, it will not help you to get the more knowledge but will also give you lot of ideas and topics for your blog.
