My blog isn’t focused at all. I have too many interests and decided a while back that I simply didn’t want to have multiple blogs.

My compromise is this: I offer separate category feeds with easy to find links for subscribing. So if someone is interested in what I have to say about Macintosh computing, for example, he can subscribe to just that category. Ditto for blogging and flying and writing and — well, you get the idea.

I don’t blog for a living — and don’t ever expect to reach that level — but I do earn enough from blogging (primarily via AdSense) to cover all my monthly hosting fees. That’s okay with me.

i don’t quite agree since different people got different way of doing things. i’m a bit more like you when reading blog, i will go to the “niche” blog to read. but I know a lot of my friends just go to certain blog because they like that person, and wonder what he do next in “whatever” things.

People forget that a niche doesn’t just refer to a specific subject (like personal finance or SEO), but also specific demographics as well. So, let’s say you are a white suburbia stay-at-home mom in her early 20s that blogs about her life as a stay-at-home mom: I don’t think your niche is homemaking necessarily, but rather your niche includes other women that share most, if not all, of the same demographics. So, I guess what I am saying is that if your niche isn’t a subject, in my opinion it should be aimed at a very specific demographic.

I have seen SO many bloggers out there that have no real reason for their blog other than to talk about their lives, kids, husbands, jobs, etc. I don’t really think that really counts as a niche either. Some of these blogs are very entertaining, and even hilarious, but I feel that if I am going to spend the time reading something… I’d rather it be something that I can take information from to better myself and grow in whatever niche it is that I am reading about.
