So, Your Niche is Getting Just A Little Too… Crowded

You can rock your niche. It’s a matter of perspective and ten simple strategies.

If you think your niche is competitive, try blogging about blogging!

Whether your niche is home organization, credit management, real estate, blogging, social media, or parenting, chances are that by now, many bloggers have entered the ring and you will have to participate in a little friendly competition to the readership you want.

Most bloggers enter the game without so much as even knowing who the big players in their niche are, and that’s a mistake. If you want to get ahead, you should know about the big players and how they got to where they are.

You also need to know what you bring to the table that is unique – really, it’s about knowing yourself. You are the difference. How do you get that across? Hint: it’s not by regurgitating headlines. That’ll get you a yard. Being your wonderful, original self will take you miles in comparison.

4 Truths About Crowded Niches

(these are total gimme’s- not even in the guide)

1. The reason niches become crowded is because they’re popular (duh). If a niche isn’t a little crowded, it’s because no one’s really searching for that kind of information (yet).
2. Getting into a crowded niche is actually a smart thing to do.
3. Getting seen and heard in a crowded niche is not as hard as it seems (hint – leverage. That IS in the guide)
4. Top bloggers in crowded niches got there with hard work and dedication – not overnight.
