The Niche-less Blog

When you are a blogger, one of the first questions people ask you is “What is your niche?”

It’s a question I absolutely despise. Why? Because I am one of those bloggers who doesn’t have a niche.

I know, the horror. I don’t have a niche.

I used to avoid the topic at all costs. Sometimes I tell people I write about parenting. Sometimes I tell people I do reviews. Sometimes I tell people I write about my home… or crafts… or recipes. The problem is that I write about all of the above. I am one of those people who has a niche-less blog. I’m usually lumped into the “Lifestyle” category, but in reality, I don’t write about lifestyles… I write about life. I write about the things that interest ME… not the things that might be interesting to other people.

I never started my blog to cater to others. I did it for myself and my family. I’ve been blessed to have met some amazing people who actually have given me great feedback on my blog. They like what I do. They like that they can click into my blog every day and see something entirely different. One day I might have a book review and another day I might have a favorite recipe. Sometimes I’ll talk about parenting my three daughters, and the next day I might do a review of a cool new product.

I had lunch last Saturday with a new blogging friend who happened to do a lot of work with branding and bloggers. She told me my niche was that I don’t have a niche. I was the niche-less blogger. I loved it. That’s me exactly. My niche is that I don’t have one. I am eclectic. I am more than one topic, one idea, one goal, and one direction. My blog may be all over the place, but that is exactly who I am. I am a little bit of everything put together. I have many interests and it shows through my blog.

So here’s my elevator pitch: I am the niche-less blogger. I write about topics that interest me from day to day and my blog has something for everyone. Visit me every day and you’ll never get bored.
