DISQUS

Jalaj · 2 years ago

You may start last in blogging on a saturated subject, but if you run steadily may overtake many others and at the end you will find that actual competitions is only among top 10-50 and then you might be one of them.

Well, I am on my way to my own blog style :) Blogger need time to develop not only the blog content but also their mind set. They follow at the beginning because they know less, they will find their way last when they are mature enough to be a blogger.

So, is ok for them to follow the trend at the beginning. Everyone have the same chances to make a popular blog. Main thing is, have to find out your field first. But I think this take times and passion :) Money is kind of temptation :P

true, inexperience and direction-less blogger like me is banging here and there in the first few month, but now some sort of knowing my own direction.

not sure whether im a saturated niche tapper (some how), but im going on my way

Wayne, you reminded me something. As you mentioned there are too many similar technology and Internet blog where they post similar things. In my opinion, actually it doesn't matter because reader will get more understanding regarding a particular article.

Look at it this way guys and gals, goldfries.com is a testament of a blog that jumps into a saturated niche!

How many tech blogs are there in the world? PLENTY! Yet despite all odds, goldfries.com is now doing very well in less than 6 months!

Best of all I did not do promotion actively, you can see Wayne is WAY more active than I am. :D All I did was focus on content. That's it. I put my blog on forum signature here and there that's it.

I'm got a little bit more active promoting it for the past month or 2 (still less active compared to Wayne. No time la, I have my business to run! :P ) but even prior to that it was Alexa Ranking 230k or so within 3 months with almost 0 effort in promoting, even overtaking PC Modding Malaysia, another tech site who's been around for years. :)

You guys can ask Wayne and Jayhan la. They know me and my blog since the start if I'm not mistaken.

@ Jalaj
This has to do with those bloggers with not much persistence. When they give up, you become higher. This is why the longer you blog, the more authority you will get because of all the search engine traffic and the contents.

@ lukxiufung
I can say money is the side income which we earn from blogging. I don't say I will not blog for money because I do put ads but money aside, I still write and blog for fun! :mrgreen:

@ jayhan
Your niche is somehow unique to me but I am not in that design field yet and this is why I don't leave comments. Anyway, I know your site is not targeting me, you are targeting someone with design minded people.

I give you one tip, try designing a Wordpress theme. It will give your blog a bang, instantly!

@ Mercury
This might be true that everyone will blog about it in a different way but what I am saying is that some doesn't really know what blogging is all about and they kept posting about a news without adding their views to it. :wink:

@ goldfries
You call this little promoting? You are promoting your blog here! :razz: Anyway, I don't mind.

Content is the key. It is useless you go all out posting your links here and there but not having good contents. I admit that goldfries has good contents (although I scratched my head with his games and hardware reviews :mrgreen: ). I know you from LYN but since LYN changed the blogging forum to Kopitiam, I am not interested any more... :cool:

@ Kitkat
Why? Because now you know you are on a saturated niche? This is not wrong, if yo put in effort, you can go very high as well.

goldfries · 2 years ago

Wayne, my promotion very little liao lor cos I spend most of my time on content and other things in life. :)

If want to go all out ah, fuiyoh I don't need to do work already.

My promotion come mostly from people who tell other people about my content. :D Myself? very little la. Now picking up a little also but still nothing compared to you. ;)

yeah so sad LYN move it to Kopitiam. I've requested it to be moved out of Kopitiam twice but like unheard wan.

The thing about saturated niche is that you also have a lot of readers. :) All you need to do is make sure your content is
1. interesting
2. has personality
3. has quality

to Wayne,

how i wish to create my own theme and distribute for download, but i dunno the coding stuff hahaha. I need more resources and learnings on this :lol:

Wayne Liew · 2 years ago

@ goldfries
Yes, I do a lot of comment marketing. I am not going to the extent of using Google Adwords yet. :mrgreen:

@ jayhan
Learn when you have time. I learnt many things from the Internet as well. goldfries has been one of my tutors. :lol:

To be honest, one of the reasons I don't enjoy reading your blog as much as last time is that you concentrate too much blogging about blogging...Last time when I first discovered your blog you were more personal and that attracted me a lot. But now it's all different.

Anyways you should do what you enjoy best. Good luck friend!

Wayne Liew · 2 years ago

I changed to a niche blog and to be honest, if I blog about my personal life, there will be nothing much to blog about. Sorry... :oops:
