FBP 051: Ask Marv – How to Choose a Niche and Spark Engagement with Your Blog Readers

In this 2nd episode of the Ask Marv portion of the podcast, we feature the question emailed to me by Patricia of the blog Ideacrib.net.

Patricia has been blogging for nearly 4 years and is getting some website traffic to her blog but in terms of the level of engagement from the readers (most likely in the form of blog comments), according to her, it’s “near zilch”. Also, she mentions that she writes about fitness, food and fun (or lifestyle), and she feels that her readers aren’t into those niches that’s why she isn’t getting any type of reaction from them.

Is having a broad niche the cause of the low engagement? Should she focus on just one topic? What else should she do to improve her blog and gain more highly engaged readers?

In this episode, I offer my advice to Patricia based on my experience growing the Freelance Blend blog.

Meanwhile, here are the links I mentioned during this episode:
