For every great niche we have 3 things that are common:-

(1)What you enjoy doing (ex. I enjoy doing "SEO")
(2)For what people will pay for(people spend millions of dollars on doing "SEO")
(3)What you are goos at(I have been doing "SEO" my whole life)

You should try to follow a similar approach. Only when you narrow down to just ONE method or topic, you all have high chances to succeed!

Find A Problem And Try To Build A Site Around It
