Do you have a blog?

I want to start a blog but I don’t want it to have a niche. I have a lot of interests and want to blog about them all. I will probably end up blogging about five different subjects or so, such as crochet, any books I’m reading, beauty (make up and skincare), and then any other interests here and there such as cooking etc. Do you think I should just pick a niche? Do you blog? What do you blog about?

  • I agree with the other commenters that it depends what you want, and who you want to read it. If you want to make money or find a particular type of reader (e.g. people who crochet), you should focus. If you're just writing for yourself, it's up to you.

    I've had focused blogs and general blogs. I've never had a lot of active readers, though. My current blog started as a "mental health in the Jewish community" blog, then autism got thrown into the mix. It's really a way of my working through my thoughts and feelings as I have alexithymia. Sometimes I go into tangents about Judaism, Doctor Who or books I'm reading, but mostly it's focused on my experiences and trying to find a way to exist in the world with autism. A few people read it and interact with me and I met my wife through it, which was the best thing to come from it. I've never made any money from any blogs though.
