why my blog is always going to be niche-less

12.10.2020

I've been venturing a lot into several internet stuff in this year (IDK how to say this better but I hope you understand what I meant). I had been more active on my bookstagram account (hey follow me on @nerdbilla to hear me rant about books/tv shows I'm currently consuming more!) compared to the past few years, made some new friends, I had also been more active on my Twitter book/fan account and after a series of venturing into this stuff, I was seriously contemplating to turn this blog to a book blog lol. I was seriously contemplating to move my blog to WordPress and start book-blogging for real.


Since I'm still here, we can see that that didn't happen. Hehe. And after a few months contemplating whether to stay here and book-blog here or move to WordPress and book-blog there, I decided to do none of them. At first, I thought it was because that would be out of my comfort zone and terrified me a bit, which is honestly, true but the real reason I'm staying here is that I realized, I don't actually want to make my blog a book blog. After almost 10 years of blogging (I was a kid for the first few years so I guess this blog was more like a diary than actual blogging and even after I actually started 'blogging' I don't know if those years actually counted), my blog remains niche-less and the closest niche that fits this blog is a lifestyle blog, but I don't even know if that really fits my blog.


The more I think more about my blog's niche, the more stressful blogging sounds when really, the reason this blog ever existed is for me to rant about stuff. As a kid I talked more about the things I hated, the people I resented and less about stuff that I like on this blog and while almost all of my childish immature posts are now safe from other people's eyes, I still want to talk about stuff I like (and I like a lot of things) and some personal musings. And having a niche for my blog, personally for me, will change all of that because I would try to fit in among all great lifestyle blogs and this blog wouldn't feel like me anymore (which honestly, happened a lot of times this year). The other reason is probably that I know that I'm not going to stay committed to my blog if I ever put a limit on top of the boundary I have for what I should post here.


So I decided, with a few of you who are still reading my posts as my witnesses, that this blog will remain niche-less! There is still a probability for me to move my blog to WordPress, though, haha.

  1. I have to agree with you. I've almost given up on the idea of searching what my blog niche is because as the owner of my blog, I want to allow myself the privilege to write whatever that I feel is relevant for myself and my readers - whatever the topics may be. Or I might just need more time to find it. Either way, I'm fine going niche-less for now. hahaha nice post!

    1. cheers to having niche-less blog, and fine with it🤣 i totally agree, blogs are supposed to enable us to say what we wanna say easier and we should have the privilege to write whatever we want!

  2. can relate! I rant all the time on my blog. It's like a public diary of mine, but I don't mind because there's no one reading it. Therefore it is fun!

    1. totally can relate here haha. there's this comfort that i feel knowing that no one really reads what i post, but there's a chance someone might read it. it's like "here, i write about this because i don't know i should talk about this with, but you can listen if you wanna"
