1. Figure Out the Right Niche for Your Pet Blog
All blogs have their own “niche” or focused topic area. With pet blogging, you’re australia phone number resource not going to blog about every possible topic to do with pets.


Most pet bloggers specialize in a specific animal or group of animals: blogging about dogs, cats, reptiles, fluffy small pets, rodents, or other types of pets. Some pet bloggers narrow this down further—for instance, they might blog about puppies, or about elderly dogs who have health conditions. There are also plenty of dog training blogs, where experts share their tips for having a happy, well-trained pooch.

What pet niche will be right for you? You might want to think about:

Which animals you’re most drawn to: If you love all things cat-related, then a cat blog might be a great option for you. If you’re an experienced dog owner, a dog blog makes sense.
Which animals you have lots of experience with: Perhaps you were a paid dog walker on weekends in your teens, or your family always had hamsters and mice when you were growing up. You might also have adopted a cat or taken in a rescue dog, giving you a unique insight into those areas.
Whether there’s a particular angle you want to take on pet blogging: Maybe you particularly love helping new pet owners get set up with their puppies—or you want to share helpful tips for experienced owners who now have elderly or even handicapped pets.
Whether you want to mainly blog about your own pet’s adventures: That could work well if you’re reviewing toys your pet has loved or equipment you’ve found useful—or if you have an especially photogenic pup.
Your target audience: You might think about your future readers and their income level, how many pets they own, their current pet-related know how, and so on. This’ll help hone your pet blogging ambitions in a direction that ensures an audience you can monetize with.
Your blogging niche will influence the name of your new blog—so don’t move on until you’re fairly clear about what niche you want to be in. If you want some more inspiration, check out my list of profitable niches too.

All blogs have a domain name (website address). Mine is ryrob.com. Your blog’s name needs to reflect what your blog is about. It should be memorable and easy for people to type into a search engine.
