Step One: Create Niche Content

Niche Focused Content is the Starting Point

Just readed your post, but i was thinking isn't it better to first search for a good niche keyword ? When i start a blog or post i first start with doing some research with niche inspector because then i know on which keyword is less competition, so easier rankings. Just a tip ;) hope other people have something with this tip.
