One Reason Why Your Blog’s Not Making Money

Evergreen niche

The niche market you choose to blog around is an important factor in its profitability.  There are literally thousands of topics to focus on and new interests develop daily. To ensure that you’re positioned to profit you should evaluate if yours is what’s considered evergreen.

Markets that address “timeless” concerns are known as evergreen. Oblivious to trends and fads, they’re usually identified by universal issues that transcend time, location, and demographics.

If your focus is not directly related to an evergreen niche, you may be able to give it an angle that ties into one.

Take a look at these classic general markets and see if you can tweak what you’re already doing to fit.

  • Health
  • Relationships
  • Money
  • Personal Development

Building a blog around an evergreen market is a secret to long-term growth.  You’re content will remain relevant and you’ll have a constant pool of customers.

When evaluating the earning potential of a niche market look for three crucial elements:

Easy to Identify – Are there groups, associations, and events specific to the market that you can readily locate?

Active and Motivated Buyers – There are plenty of markets big on passion, but small on spending money to support their passion. An easy way to find out if your market spends money online is to research the “buying” websites like Amazon and Ebay.

Positioned for Marketing – Is it easy to market to them?  In other words, are they already involved with the marketing channels within your reach and budget. Are there magazines, newsletters, and podcasts they use regularly?

Take note of who you are selling to before you decide what you want to sell them.  Pick niches that have already proven to profitable.
