One blog I have considered (and mostly discarded the idea of) is a Martial Arts blog. The aim I had in mind was to cover martial arts events and news, perhaps with the occasional link to reviews of heavilly martial arts related movies.

The problem with this is that most events are highly regionalised – and reading about events you can’t get to, involving people you’ll never meet is just pointless. There’s not enough news to make for an interesting blog, and reviews are accessible all over the place. Although it’s a subject I’m interested in, my final analysis told me that it wasn’t worth the effort of doing – I wouldn’t be able to add enough value to hold an audience.

I imagine there are dozens/hundreds of similar topics – interesting to the author and a potential audience, but hard to add enough value to keep the audience coming back.

“There aren’t that many people who want to visit an asbestos site”. That is right. The Asbestos euphoria is over.

ProBlogger is great and a must read for me everyday, sometimes 4-5 times a day! You must be putting in a lot of time and I realise that a break (entire June, I think) for you is a must.

I’m not surprised at all…and I could never quite understand it, though it was certainly an interesting experiment. There is seldom a quick buck to be made anywhere, at least for the long run, without lots of hard work…I can only imagine how many hours YOU put in keeping all your blogs fresh : )

Good job, by the way. I think ProBlogger is fantastic. It always gets me thinking!

I think it is also important to have enough news sources to sustain a topic, especially if the blog is being run for profit not passion. Not only can you comment on the actual news being published but you can track down press releases from companies and so produce your own articles. Relying on a handful of sources day in day out is going to turn your readers off, and ultimately yourself as well.
