In reply to Caz / InvisiblyMe. Haha I think I might've done! It's a tricky balance but I've found it's really helped me to broaden my content themes just enough so that I can include all the strands of my interests without it all getting too waffly. At least I hope not, anyway! x

This is something I’ve found quite tricky. I agree with what you say, like how “content themes are vital to your identity as a writer”, but with blogs rather than the standard website of the old days (at least that’s how it seems to be now, where content is constantly updated and fresh!) it can be hard staying within a ‘niche’. You need the niche, but you also probably need to break out of it too otherwise you start to feel boxed in and restricted. You make a good point separating themes from when some bloggers say you have to ‘niche down’. I’m thinking of rebranding a little so I’ve been thinking about this already this week – did you read my mind?!

Interesting article.
I see lots of people starting blogs and then annoyed that they don’t make millions the next week. I give all people starting out the same advice, Write about what you enjoy writing about. If you aren’t enjoying it then you wont write it.

You’ll eventually find what you enjoy writing and then, off the back of that, what your readers find most engaging.

I write about what i’m interested in – and some of it is interesting to other people and some has ZERO page views and I’m reminded of this quote from the simpsons.
