Have you always been envious of those that could somehow choose a niche without almost any thought? Now you don't have to be. I wish I had realized this process I'm about to show you earlier when I first started building websites online.

I can understand you being sceptical about how to choose a niche topic. However, you won't be once you read what I have for you in relationship to choosing a niche topic to build your first wordpress blog around. Patience is a virtue, and for those that have been able to stay with me this far, the good stuff is coming!

What I'm about to show is how to choose a niche in a way that you haven't been exposed to yet.

I call it the Process Of Elimination.

Let's first explore some opportunities you might be interested in. To do this write down at least 10 things you are interested in doing as an online business on a piece of paper. By doing this you getting your ideas out of your head and on something you can work with. That's the first step.

Next, start breaking down the list you just wrote to 5. You see how this works yet?

Now with the remanding 5, break that down to 3.

With only 3 remaining now all you have to do is choose one of the 3.

Do you see how the Process Of Elimination works now?

I found this process really helpful and easy to employ because either way you look at it with the decision you make it's a niche topic you have an interest in and spending some time on as a online business.

Now if you plan on building several niche wordpress blogs I recommend you keep that list handy so you can apply the same technique to the remainder on the list. This will help you keep on track and focused on your projects.

With so many niche topics to build a website around online it gets difficult to sometimes make a decision on which niche topic to start with first which is why I use this process above and am sharing it with you now. And it took less then an hour to do.

So what do you do next?

Keyword Research!

This is the last step of the Process Of Elimination and the most important. Why would you want to build a wordpress blog or any website for that matter if there's no market for it. We're building these sites for a reason and that is to make some money.

So with that said its time now to do our Keyword Research homework.

I use Googles free keyword research tool do this step. It's easy to use and gives you some valuable stats about what people are searching for online under your selected keywords or niche topic.

If your keywords or niche topic produce high search counts and lots of adwords advertisers then you've found yourself a profitable niche topic to start building a website or wordpress blog around. If it is the other way around, start the process above over again with your remaining niche topics you wrote down earlier.

Those are the basics of how this technique works. I could keep on going about the keyword research end of things but that's an article within itself. Start with this first.

You'll find after doing this a few times it gets much easier because you'll be familiar with how the process works.

I wish you nothing but the best in your pursuit of choosing your first niche topic. I have faith that with my tips above you are going to be able to achieve it all in only less then an hour.
