Steemit can be a really confusing place and its hard to keep up with the trends. As a blogger, finding a particular topic or area to post about can be difficult, most especially on steemit where some areas/topics are seemingly given more attention than others. Fret not my steemit brethren, steemit is a home for all so no matter what you have to offer it shall be welcomed with open arms, but just in case you're having problems figuring out what you can post about or what you're good at in general, say no more cause right here is a guide to finding out just what you're good at/what you can post about.
WHAT IS A NICHE
"A niche can be defined as a job or position that is very suitable for someone, especially one that they like"
HOW TO FIND YOUR NICHE
- LIST OUT YOUR INTERESTS & PASSIONS

This is as good a way to start as any, we all have personal interests which we love to discuss about or do, so making a list like this would definitely put you on the right track. While doing this, ask yourself questions like;
What do I like doing during my free time?
What do I enjoy doing this most?
What do you look forward to doing when you aren't doing it?
What skill or hobby is naturally easy for you?
Doing this can be tricky, because you might only be interested in one aspect of a particular skill/hobby, but at the very least it'll set you on the right track.
IDENTIFY THE PROBLEMS YOU CAN SOLVE AND GAPS YOU CAN FILL

The next step is to determine which of these interests can fill a gap or solve a problem on Steemit. Lets use the Steemexchanger initiative for example, there was no direct SBD to FIAT exchange on Steemit for Naira, but that gap was filled and the problem was solved.
"Everybody has something to offer" is a popular saying on Steemit, so whatever you bring to the table should at the very least fill a gap on Steemit, whether its through your stories, motivational, poems, crypto-talk etc.KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE & YOUR COMPETITION

There's no point trying to figure out your niche if you don't know who to display your skills or talent in front of. Take time to understand the parties interested in what you decide to do on Steemit and create a plan that ensures that you get enough exposure. As the saying goes, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer", the same applies to finding your niche.
People who are already posting things that are similar to what you want to bring to the table is an inevitability so understanding how they work and determining why their posts are appreciated/voted is essential in carving out a niche for yourself.
Review their posts and get a feel of how well received and appreciated their posts are, learn from their mistakes, build upon their successes and create a brand for yourself, a Steemit brand. Also, make sure you interact with your audience as much as or more than the folks that are already earning from theirs.
