Knowing your perfect customer/reader/subscriber before you start creating content is a must. Niche research is my speciality and I just love digging into the information on any niche. If you know how to do Niche Research properly you can build an amazing customer avatar and write content your readers will think is awesome.

You can also use the info to create killer targeted Facebook ads once you start doing some paid advertising.

Only a small percentage of bloggers actually create a decent income from their digital real estates. This small percentage do something most do not. They fully research their chosen niches ‘BEFORE’ they even think about writing content or promoting products.

Unsuccessful affiliate marketers/bloggers pick a niche and start writing content and promoting products that they ‘think’ their readers will like.

This is the wrong way to go about things.

Throwing s*** at the wall hoping it sticks is for amateurs. 

You must try and walk in your customer’s shoes, really understand their likes and dislikes. You must find out what kind of media they are consuming online, products they are buying, posts they like, videos they share etc.

So today Anime is the niche topic I will be covering.

Please go ahead and bookmark this post so you have easy access to it down the line..

One thing before I proceed…

Creating a Blog is one thing. Being successful at it is another. I wish it were as simple as writing a few posts per week and waiting on the money rolling in, but it takes a lot more than that. Following a content strategy, monetizing your blog in the right way, finding the right low competition keywords. Do all or any of these wrong and you could be wasting your time.

Myself and a small mentoring group are all part of Wealthy Affiliate University. If you’ve never heard of it it’s basically a platform for bloggers to network together, help each other etc. It also supplies the tools to actually create a successful blog, find the keywords and the right products to promote and gives full training on every aspect of this business. I created this blog right on the platform. It’s a must-have for all aspiring bloggers to be successful online.

Don’t worry, you can join for free.  The free membership is free for life. The premium membership is $49 per month (I have a $30 off coupon below) You DO NOT NEED the premium account to be successful. I have many friends who never upgraded and who do well with their blogs.

One way this information can be used is to go look up some of the social influencers in the list. See what content of theirs gets the most likes and shares. then you can go create content in a similar way, in your own words and style of course:-)

You can create killer Facebook ads using the audiences if you want to promote some of your posts..

If it’s not yet apparent how to actually use this info in the best way then it will become very apparent once you go through your Wealthy Affiliate Training. This info can be used in so many different ways that you will have lots of lightbulb moments going off inside your mind as you go through your training.
