10 Popular Blog Niche Ideas | How To Start A Successful Blog in 2020

So you’ve been think about starting a blog. But… you’re still stuck on the first step. The million dollar question you can’t answer in your head is “What should I blog about?” You’re not the only one. Some people struggle with discovering what exactly they’re good at. Some people are good at multiple things and can’t just choose one. Let me throw you some popular blog topics, and you can see which one/ones fit you the best.

1. Beauty

The beauty industry is EXTREMELY broad. Since this is the case, there are so many subcategories that you can start a blog about. A good idea when jumping into the beauty blog world is to narrow your approach. For example, if you’re vegan you could focus solely on vegan cosmetics and skincare. If you have acne prone skin, talk about cosmetics and skincare suited for acne and blemishes. Find your subcategory that personally fits you and focus on that to establish your blog!

2. Traveling

If you like to travel to different places, enjoy trying new activities and trying new foods, a travel blog is right up your alley! If you’re interested in starting a travel blog, you should definitely start with capturing great pictures and videos. You can also write reviews about the restaurants that you try as well as the venues. How was the food? What dishes did they have? How was the service? Was the menu reasonably priced or luxury priced? What activities, museums and other sights are in the area? The list goes on and on!

3. Cooking

If you find yourself obsessed with cooking videos and finding new recipes on Pinterest, then consider starting a blog in cooking! Cooking blog topics include meal prepping, keto diets, paleo diets, slow cooker meals, and more. The list goes on and on! You can also start by finding recipes online and trying them out yourself to see how they turn out. Then, you can branch off into showing your audience your own recipes! Try some new dishes you’ve never made. Just get creative with it!

4. DIYs

Are you super crafty? Are you always coming up with new ways to salvage something used? Are you able to bring the creative ideas in your head to life? If you answered yes to most of these, I’m sure you’d be an AMAZING DIY blogger. DIYing is such an awesome niche because the possibilities are truly endless. Whether you’re good at crafts, fabrics and sewing, or home decor projects there’s always something new you can show your viewers! Go ahead let your creativity blossom.

5. Tech

Are you a tech lover? Always googling the specs on every new phone, camera or computer when they launch? Maybe you’re really into fixing broken phones or computers and refurbishing them? Tell us how you do it! Tell us what we should look out for on the market for the latest gadgets. You’d be surprised how many people Google that new iPhone or Samsung Galaxy to read up on it before they make their decision to buy. Share your knowledge and skills with the world.

6. Advice

Are you the friend everyone comes to if they have a problem? Are you a good problem solver? Maybe you’re a great listener as well. If you have any of these qualities, a blog idea you should consider is an advice blog. You could share your opinions and give advice pertaining to typical daily struggles almost everyone experiences. You could offer financial advice, high school and college advice, career advice, relationship and family advice. You could even offer all of the above!

7. Mom-Blogs

Parents are ALWAYS searching for new tips and advice when it comes to their bundles of joy.

9. College

I think a lot of us know that college can get CRAZY and CONFUSING. Are you in the middle of your college experience or have you already made it through the academic whirlwind? If you have hacks, tips or guidance to offer to freshman college students or just students trying to make their college experience go more smoothly, you should consider sharing them in a college style blog.

10. Fitness

Everyone wants to be in shape. Everyone wants to be healthy. But…... Sometimes it’s easier said than done. Often times, some people might need a little motivation.
