As I told you in the beginning of the article that blogging is just sharing your views, thoughts & ideas with the world, in your own words. You can write about any niche or subject, which you like most & may write as many blogs about it. And the most important thing which matters is your interest in that subject or niche, until you will not enjoy your work then it won’t work for long run. So start writing a blog about what you love the most or like to do.For e.g – If you do enjoy to travel or explore new places then you may go for travelling blog, where you can share your own views & thoughts about that places, culture, food, people etc . As many bloggers write blog posts just as a diary to share their thoughts with other people and sometime write to help people by considering their problems or pain points, they write about their experiences, expertise to help others who are really looking for such kind of advice on the search engines, social networking groups, forums (For example- Quora, pintrest, facebook groups & many more).If you are reading this blog then it means you’re interested in blogging or might be don’t know how to start & from where to start. This is what exactly the purpose of this blog to help you to create your own blogging website. But if you want to be a professional blogger and serious to make a long term career or future in it. Then you have to be consistent in writing a blog post in your niche.
