Sometimes I think I have attention deficit disorder because I do like to write about diverse topics. Hopefully by putting a similar spin on each topic things will work out.Also, without wanting to be contradictory - this blog is supposed to be about lifestyle design. Is it going for the lifestyle design for bloggers niche now?:) The struggle is to stay interested in writing about one niche topic over a long period of time!

I find it very difficult to blog about topics I'm not passionate about. The money usually comes in the niches I have experience in and have genuine interest in.@Dave - Great point. I use that system too, but it's hard to maintain your identity if you do that for too long. @positively present – thanks!

I'm dealing with it by increasing the quantity of material I'm producing. This is Dave Gray's (xplane) technique of putting as many fishing lines in the water as you can, then seeing what bites.Once something bites, I'll be on it.And focus is coming clearer. I've been decommissioning whole blogs last couple of weeks, rolling content into pages and subpages. I still have the material, if it gets a bite in the future, I'll something to pull with.

I know that I"ve definitely taken a broader approach to content. But, I think that in the last few weeks I've started to be much more strategic with everything I've been doing.Eduard: I know that I probably post alot, although I find that i tend to have much to write about and have learned to manage my time in such a way that I can write enough content to publish daily. Nathan,

It reflects in the passion your posts communicate and the reactions you get from readers. This is why I focus on writing whenever I have something to say on a topic, and when my writing can flow. Not when I know it's been a whole week since my last post. I may post regularly, but I don't write that way.Eduard I find that blogging with meaning and authenticity is a key factor.
