Yesterday Jennifer talked about how she likes to read blogs not in her niche or about blogging. I like to call them recreational blogs. I read them as recreation rather than work or research. What I love so much about niche blogging is seeing all the different types of blogs – and different types of passions. What I’d like to do today, if you don’t mind, is highlight some of the more interesting niche blogs I’ve come across. Some of this is to show you different ideas and another is because I like to give props to people who do cool things. Some of these blogs aren’t on my daily or weekly read list, but I did want to highlight them because they’re unique niches.
Behold, some great niche blogs:
- The Blog of Unnecessary Quotation Marks – I’ve been sharing this one with my FWJ readers for years. It never fails to put a smile on my face.
- Camdy Blog
- Ecorazzi
- Queens Crap – A blog mostly about how all the beautiful old homes with character are being torn down in my old stomping ground of Queens, NY and being replaced with monstrosities.
- Stuff White People Like
- Fermentarium
- Little People
- Pizza Blog
- Photos from Northern Norway
As you can see, people will blog about anything, and most of these blogs do well. What are some of the more unusual niches you’ve come across?
I saw a blog all about vikings once. I couldn’t believe someone could find so much to say about vikings. It was weird.
