The title of this section is called "DISCOVER YOUR NICHE" because you have to discover it. You don't just start blogging on Steemit and know your niche, you have to discover it.
The main thing when thinking of your niche is balancing out what you want to write about and what people want to read. Sometimes the post you loved writing didn't get as many votes as you would thought it would. Then some posts that you did quick turned out to be the best ones. You have to find the balance. Balance between what you want to write about and what people want to read.
Especially in the beginning you want to get as many people as possible seeing your work and connecting.
Never write about something you don't want to write about. Just write on things that interest you, but try a bunch of different approaches and topics.
For me, I like all kinds of interesting things, but it took a lot of posting and failing to figure out what people like the most that also balances with the things that I like to write the most. Now I have a couple of different niches that I enjoy writing for and have followers that appeal to the different things I write.
It took a lot of experimenting and mining before I discovered the topics that resonate best with the Steemit audience. I had to mine comments to see which posts were getting not only the most comments but the most engaging comments. Digging in to the replies is a great way to figure out if your work is resonating with the Steemit audience.
Also track using the tools explained in Day 17 to see which posts are getting the most followers for your account. You might learn that when you use the Steemit tag you are getting more followers than when you write blogs that fit the crypto tag.
Figure out what works best for you and what topics people respond to. Once you have a good feeling for what people like and have tried out a lot of different topics, figure out how to really maximize the ideas that work.
Find different things you can write on with the same tags and topic. For me, I started writing posts about world mysteries and the response was great. I kept writing them and people kept responding. I eventually had to go out and start learning about new mysteries in order to keep the content interesting. Now I try to write one or two a week and learn something new every time I write them.
Once you have a niche or two, don't stop there. Constantly try adding new content that is related and something you are interested in. Find new niches to write in and expand the content you produce.
Remember you have to DISCOVER your niche, you can't just pick it. Now go out and find you place!
