Hi Oscar,
Patel Neil is my favourite blogger as well because he’s filled with unique content that impact knowledge, I mean great knowledge and also John Chow. Choosing the right niche is the backbone behind every successful bloggers.
Nice one bro…gotta revaluate mine.very insightful!
I must say some bloggers make the mistake of going into any niche just for them to be bloggers but i must say choosing the right niche especially one you have passion makes you a successful blogger because you will not really focus on the money aspect rather you want to make impact.
Running short of content ideas is a regular thing for me.But i think that is mainly because i try not to repeat anything that has been said before.Repetition is a big turn off for a reader who is familiar with the concept and is looking for some interesting perspectives of issues pertaining to him.
