The debate has raged for untold years, and it will no doubt rage long after we’re gone.
But it’s still worth a few minutes of soul-searching to decide what you’re going to do.
As a blogger, you’ve no doubt heard the advice to “pick a niche” after deciding what “your passion” is. And don’t get me wrong, this is good advice.
If you follow it, you have a fair to good chance of grabbing some eyeballs and making some money, building a list, getting some conversation going… whatever it is you’re in the blogosphere to accomplish.
But, there’s something you need to remember:
It takes time.
A lot of time, as a matter of fact.
Most bloggers don’t really start hitting their stride until they’ve been at it close to a year! Even the most adept take a few months to get rolling, and that’s with frequent posts, commenting on other related blogs, guest posting repeatedly…
Basically giving it their absolute all for a significant amount of time.
This isn’t meant as discouragement, it’s just the facts.
So the question you need to ask yourself is this:
Am I capable of giving this niche topic my ALL for that amount of time?
Are you sufficiently committed to the topic to do that? Are you interested enough in it? Knowledgeable enough?
Or are you going to burn out?
Unfortunately, blogger burnout is all too common. You may have already been a victim yourself, or maybe you started following a blog only to find it fade away into oblivion.
It sucks. But it’s preventable.
Maybe you’re a Uber-generalist.
Since I decided to start a blog as a means of strutting my stuff as a freelance writer, building a digital asset I could use as a growing online portfolio, and potentially grabbing the attention of future paying clients, I knew it had to do a good job of explaining what I do and how I do it.
And what I do doesn’t fit neatly in one little niche because my freelance writing business has intentionally been built around a Uber-generalist philosophy.
This was a really good thing because I realized when I started blogging that I’d never succeed picking one niche and trying to write only about it for the length of time and with the level of intensity necessary to make it work.
Frankly, I’d get bored. That happens easily.
And, I knew that I didn’t have any interest in trying to simultaneously run and promote six different blogs either!
So I decided to do the unconventional thing and built my blog around six different topics that all reflect different (but related) aspects of my business and my expertise.
See how it goes…
One of the great things about blogging is the fact that you can experiment and quickly see how what you do effects the success of your blog.
If you’re feeling stifled by the conventional advice to “pick a niche”, or if you find, like I did, that you have too many “passions” to narrow it down, try generalizing for a while.
At the worst, you experiment a bit and you find it’s not for you.
But at the best, you find your blog really starts to thrive because it’s finally in line with who you really are!
So what’s worked for you? Specializing, or keeping it more general? Let me know in the comments!

Thanks for being commenter #1!
Absolutely. I took a look at Blazing Minds, and you make it really clear from your About page through the list of recent posts, etc. that your blog is diverse. And yet, you’ve got engagement on nearly every post and regular readers that keep coming back. Congratulations! You’ve succeeded as a generalist, which is an inspiration to me!

I agree it can take a very long time to build a readership on a niche blog, but the implication then becomes that it won’t take as long if you stick to a more free-flowing approach, and I don’t think that’s true. In fact, I think the opposite might be the case – that it will take even longer to build a successful general blog.
Interesting that you choose to be a generalist as a freelancer. I started off that way, but I quickly discovered there are some things I just don’t like to write about. Easier to specialize, then I can go after only the work I want, and leave the rest to someone else.
Cindy Bidar recently posted..How to Write Articles that Don’t Suck
Cindy,
Interesting take on the topic. I’d be very interested to see some long-term studies on which style of blog leads to faster engagement on average. Unfortunately, if all bloggers are as constantly busy as I am, no one’s going to have the time to compile the study!
As a freelancer, I have to admit, I may very well be able to build a business faster and maybe even make more money as a specialist, but I’ve chosen the generalist route strictly because I realize that personally I could never succeed if I start getting bored. Not that I’m above taking on a boring job for a buck, but if I knew I’d ONLY be writing long-form sales letters for self-help books for the rest of my days, just because I happen to be “the specialist” on that form, I’d likely eat one of them before long.

While I do have many other interests, I keep my blog “Art of RetroCollage” focused on art and collage, with philosophy related to creation and inspiration included. I keep my other interests (jazz, photography, politics, etc.) on my personal page in FaceBook.
retrocollage recently posted..Max Ernst- Profile in Collage
Thanks very much, retro! Another very valid combination. I’d imagine focusing as you do helps for SEO purposes, and keeps your readership laser-focused on what you do. At the same time, having your FB page available as an outlet for your other major inspirations complements the blog well.
A question, though: do you maintain two Facebook pages, one for personal, and one for your blog? And if so, do you intend for there to be some crossover, or do you prefer that never the twain shall meet?
My blog is very much in the niche category. My wedding photography blog is for my buisness so keeping my personal life separate is very important . Saying that i often think that if i widened my blog that maybe it would get me more traffic and more return visits. I think it needs to be balanced as going totally off topic is just going to confuse people.
Andy recently posted..Bletchley Park Wedding Fair Jan 2011
Andy,
Thanks very much for the comment! I agree, you’re definitely in a niche topic and you’re right that keeping your personal items out of it is probably the right choice. But I also agree that widening the scope of the blog will probably help you in the traffic area. Some suggestions, for what they’re worth: Brainstorm some categories that revolve around what you do: events, portraits, weddings, etc. Then, brainstorm some ideas that expand those categories: wedding planning, venues, local caterers, wedding fashion… you get the idea. See how far you can get into these various areas while being able still maintain a reasonable tie-in to what you offer or what events you’re involved in. That should create the expansion you’re hoping for.

Justin – I couldn’t agree more when you mentioned that you can easily burn yourself out by just picking one niche and spending all of your time on it. I like your Uber-generalist philosophy, because I feel that I would get bored as well just writing about one specific niche.
At the end of the day I think it’s all about finding what will work the best for you. Just make sure whatever you do in your day to day operations keeps you interested and enthusiastic for a long time.

I don’t doubt the majority of bloggers fall right there into that middle ground.

One’s already too much for me!

A few things. First of all, I personally try hard not to let other people tell me what I should and should not write about on my own blog. This means that if I have something I want to say, even if it’s off topic, I will write about it. That being said, sticking to a topic or niche has its advantages. One, search engine traffic is a bit easier to attract. Also, when I was running Absence on my site, the ads matched the content a lot better when I stuck to a niche.
So, I stick to a niche while only rarely peering so as not to confuse people or the search engines.
tim recently posted..How I Fixed A Printer Problem Using PrinterShare And My Android

Thanks for the comment. You make a really good point about Adsense. I agree. If your blog has Adsense running, keeping more focused is definitely going to improve the ads’ ability to convert, and that’s a factor I hadn’t even considered when writing the post. Personally, I don’t run Adsense on my blog for just that reason: it’s so varied the ads are wacky. Thanks for pointing it out here for the discussion!

I try to approach this with Penelope Trunk’s advice in mind. Pick a topic, but write around the edges of that topic. In other words, hang your other interests on the stuff in your niche. That way my readers get some predictability, and I don’t get bored.
Lisa,
Very nice. Find that common ground, even if you have to lead your readers to see it, then use that to expand the scope of the blog. I checked out Privilege and I have to say, your About Page is just about as perfect an example of this method as I can imagine. I love how you introduce the main theme of the blog in detail, but casually throw in all manner of other items that I’m sure spice up your posts routinely. Very nice object lesson.

I agree. I poked around A New Day, and you’ve got what it takes: your writing is clear and fun whether it’s a poem or a day-in-the-life essay. You’ve got reader engagement and people definitely enjoy seeing what ‘s coming next. A great “poster-child” for the Uber-generalist philosophy.

I’ve heard the advice to specialize ever since I started my blog in Feb. ’08, and I kinda stressed that I’d never get much traffic if I didn’t focus on a single topic. It’s nice to hear someone advocate for something different than a “niche” approach. I also like what some other commenters have suggested – aiming for the middle ground by choosing a very broad topic that you can take in many directions but still have some sort of continuity.

I need to get better at staying motivated and not burning out. I’m unfortunately more of a ‘get it started, fun for a few months, oooh this seems like a fun project to do let’s go do this one now’ kind’ve guy. I started a couple niche websites on topics I AM interested in, that actually do surprisingly well traffic-wise (UAVpilot.org and RecentUFOsighting.com mainly), but keeping up with the constant updates and daily news these niches have is a headache. Especially for a single Dad to a 3yo, full-time college student.
I should focus on what I have – I just received my first $200 Adsense check last week – but already I’m fantasizing about ‘my next big idea’ and mulling over various domains to purchase and appropriate WordPress themes to best present my content.
I think I am going to explore a way to automate part of the process. I want original content, but a program (WP Robot? Autoblog Samurai?) that will at least look for new content daily, and post drafts of that for me to re-write and post would make the whole thing MUCH easier to keep up with. As it is, looking for new stories/updates in those niches across various blogs is just too time-consuming for me.
My next big idea – haha – is more of a generalist blog, and I think I’ll enjoy that a bit more as it’ll allow me to vary my focus and take a breather from the ‘same old, same old’ routine every day of a niche blog.
Geez, spent 15 minutes writing this, could have spent 15 minutes updating one of those niche blogs.

Not to dissuade you from updating those niche sites, but thanks for taking the time to leave a thoughtful comment, I appreciate it! Let me ask, have you ever considered selling blogs? It sounds like you get a rush out of the startup of a cool blog, then your energy fizzles a bit as it gets going. Maybe you’re in prime position to start a blog, bring it to the point of solid growth, then sell it for a profit to someone who wants to take it from there.

I’ve got two blogs that I write: one is a general blog that’s been around since 2002, and the other is focused on a comic book character (though I do write about other comics, and occasionally other topics entirely). That one launched in 2008, so both have been around for quite a while. The focused blog gets, on average, 2 1/2 times as much traffic as the general blog and a *lot* more comments.
Admittedly, I update that one more regularly than the general one, but the difference is substantial.
Kelson recently posted..On Science
Kelson,
Thanks very much for your input. There’s no arguing with the stats, and the difference you’re describing makes sense. The only thing that stands out as odd is how much longer the general blog has been in existence. I would imagine just the number of years would help level the playing field a bit.

Thanks for the comment, that’s great to hear! It’s definitely an option to run multiple niche sites to give vent to all your interests. Just be prepared for the intense amount of work involved in running several sites successfully. If you can handle it, that may be the absolute best of both worlds!
Thanks again!
i think its great to be a specialist if the field you choose is easy to excel in. for example – if someone picks something that everyone else is doing – such as optimizing seo – then you might have a hard time getting to the top by being a specialist. Now if you pick something specific that does not have much competition then you probably will reach the top and can be uber specific
I personally write about CO domains and ways to make money with collectibles – so im testing out the waters with 2 items.

Zoopco,
Thanks very much for the comment. You’re right on the money with your note that the size and saturation of the niche plays a huge role in how successful a new blogger can expect to be entering that niche. Using the example you used, if I had a desire to write about optimizing SEO, I’d figure out a way to fit it seamlessly into another aspect of my generalized blog, such as under the general heading of copywriting and/or ghostwriting because writing SEO-optimized copy for websites is something I can do as a copywriter or a ghostwriter. I know it would add value to those readers who want to learn how to do it, but I know I could never say enough about it or with enough authority to succeed with a site dedicated strictly to SEO optimization.

It really depends on the main purpose and concept of creating blogs. Based on my experience, Niche Blogger has huge chance to more focus and Uber-generalist needs more effort to run well.
Tantan,
Thanks for the input. I suppose a Uber-generalist approach could require some more work in one respect, since the topics are more broad-ranging. But on the other hand, if the generalist is able to produce more and with higher quality because it covers more of his passions, maybe that’s easier in the long run?

I am in a small niche and it did take time to get my blog out there. The commentluv community sure helped me get my blog noticed. However, now that I have started my fledgling business, I am having to work out my marketing strategies that will not only bring readers to my site, but also the customers too;-)
That is a completely different ball game and I am blessed that I have some experienced marketing friends who are giving me the benefit of their years of internet marketing. There’s a big leap from blogging to actually using it as a platform for a business.

I just took a look through several posts on your blog, and you’re right: you do right good stuff and you’re getting some comments, which is great! My number one suggestion, if you’re looking to take things to the next level, is to get out there and write guest posts for other blogs in your niche or other niches that border yours. For instance, your expertise in leadership would probably work really well adding quality content to a popular blog about careers, personal development or entrepreneurship. All of those areas have huge blogs that you’ll probably find very receptive to your guest posts, and in return, you’ll be introduced to all their readers, some of which will make it over to your blog. Give it a try!

I liked this point: “One of the great things about blogging is the fact that you can experiment and quickly see how what you do effects the success of your blog.”
Many blog services are free, so it doesn’t hurt to try them out. Do some experimenting and see what works and what doesn’t. And if you decide going to tax your patients and just isn’t for you, you haven’t wasted any money.
But if it’s something you’re contemplating and you’ll be blogging about something you’re passionate about it’s worth giving it a shot!
