Blog Reviews and Comparisons
I am pondering on different niche markets and how maybe some of them could become quite expensive to blog about, depending very much on the topic of conversation. Two that I can think of right now that fit into this category are technology based blogs, (mobile phones, GPS etc) and another might be travel blogs.
My curiosity touches on the secret to providing a good quality product comparison or review, after all technology and travel can become two very expensive areas to niche in.
Is it necessary for the people behind these blogs to go out and purchase many different products to compare them? Maybe they receive some of the products courtesy of the companies in return for a review – or maybe they have many people assisting them to write these reviews?
It would be quite impossible to write a good quality product review, comparison, or offer ‘how to’ information on a specific product without doing the necessary testing first. The information wouldn’t be accurate without testing, would it. Without the ability to provide accurate information regarding these specific areas the readership would very much die off. Credibility would be very quickly lost, because the reader is likely to very quickly figure out that the author hasn’t done the necessary homework and really doesn’t know what they are talking about.
Are you considering setting up a technology based blog, or maybe a travel blog, or something that will rely on your keeping up with some of the most current and expensive products?
Be creative… think outside the box… but above all make sure that you are providing accurate and current information.
The Apple iPad
I stumbled upon a blog today, iPad Zu, that offers ‘everything iPad’.
I found this really interesting… and I do wonder whether iPad is maybe a fad and will only be around for 10 years or so, or whether like the television or the mobile phone etc it is here to stay. If it is around for years to come then this could be a real tops niche and could cover a lot, from video instructions on how to use the iPad through to blog posts on how to make the most out of the iPad. At the moment it covers iPad reviews and its looking like it will probably cover app reviews also. The list really is endless!!
I really enjoy my Apple Mac and iPhone and have continued to learn many new tricks to help me be even more effective. Think I might just go and add the iPad to my wish list. I can’t see myself getting one right now, but maybe later on down the track. To me the iPad is something that I have an interest in, but unfortunately its not an essential for the day to day running of my business so I’m just going to have to hold off and wait a little bit I think.
Niche Review: Blogging About Travel Adventures & Experiences
There are a good many people who have consciously made the decision to set up an online business for the flexibility that it has on offer. It might be so that they were able to spend more time with family and friends. It might also be so that they could spend more time or money on their hobby, or maybe it is so they are able to travel the world without time limits and really absorb the culture, scenery and experiences that the country has to offer. The vision for their online business might be to do what they love while earning enough cash (and maybe a bit extra) through their business to fund those activities or adventures that interest them… or simply to balance their budget and provide more flexibility and balance to life.
Today, I would like to talk about those who seem to constantly have the travel bug… they just can’t seem to be able to shake it… and they might have pondered on whether there was a job that offered flexibility to those who wish to travel and constantly enjoy new experiences, without the need to organize a working visa, or having to return to their home country in order to earn more money ready for the next trip.
If a person is willing to put in the hours required to establish a professional blog it can in the longer term provide them the opportunity and flexibility to travel and at the same time do those things that they have always wanted to… always dreamed of doing, without the restraints that come with a job which must be completed on-site and within set hours. An online business could be the ultimate to those who seem to constantly have the ‘travel bug’ if set up right.
