I see your point about how to narrow things down. I guess that is why my blog is a little easier given that it is about Ghostwriting. I would imagine though that as you said anything writing related that inspires you will work well for your blog.

I did get the stumble you sent about ghostwriting which I intend to put into a blog post too. I have just been so busy this week. Can’t belive it’s Friday already. I have been coaching my friend and working to some tight deadlines, so all in all my own personal stuff got left on the backburner this week. I need to get a good system going.

That is some good food for thought. it also describes the difficulty in defining a niche such as writing. Does how to write SEO fit? Maybe. Does how to write ad copy that drives your adsense fit? Maybe. Does making money with your writing fit? Maybe.

See the problem? If I say this site is about inspiring writers then I could take a broad spectrum approach and say hey, all of these things fit because someone may become inspired. If I chose to make it more about inspiring those involved in the actual mechanics of writing and getting published then that takes us down a different road.

It’s hard to know the right direction. I think what I’ll do is kind of split the difference and post what I think fits, as it inspires me. From that standpoint I’d say to expect darn near anything.

Thanks for taking the time for the thoughtful comments.

BTW, did you get the stumble I sent about ghostwriting?

I have to say, I personally think that if you have a writing blog, you should do your best to write posts about different aspects of writing. Most people that read writing blogs, mine included are looking for ways to make money from their writing, they want the nitty gritty, they want those tiny little secrets that we keep to ourselves, they want the truth also. I get so many emails from people asking me if it is really possible to make $100 per article, these people are spending their time searching for these jobs, and in the end they make nothing.

I started a post over on my blog listing the websites where you can bid on jobs. I am hoping that this will turn out to be a huge list that people can refer to and add to as time goes on.

I wanted to mention the Freelance Parent blog, I love these two, they are so honest and I really enjoy reading their posts. They are two female freelance writers and each month they post their monthly earnings. They bid for jobs on Guru and they have a very large following because of their honesty. They have only been freelancing 2 years and their story is great.

Ok, I think I have taken up enough space in your comments section but yes I think more posts about writing and earning from writing will defintely get you the audience you are looking for.
