Before creating a blog

Before you think about creating your own blog you must think what you going to put in this blog??
There is something called "Niche", Niche is the subset of the market on which a specific product is focusing .

    There are many tools (some free, others paid) help us to select the niche and measure the value of it and the size of competition, one of the best tools to do this is Google Keyword Planner tool which is made specially for advertisers but we publishers can use it for our benefit .

How to select a profitable niche

1- Select one of these countries: USA, UK or Canada because the CPC (price of click) is very high in these countries .
2- The Avg. Monthly searches should be in the range (1000 - 5000) but not more than 5000 to compete on the first search results in Google search engine .
3- The price of click CPC should be in the range (1 - 4) dollar but be careful and don't try to select a niche with more than 4 dollar because it'll will brings Google ads with high CPC which may put your Google AdSense at risk so Google will deactivate it .
