It's not exactly easy, but it is very possible. If all you have is the Walrus, maybe you can stretch it out, pull it sideways, maybe there's really a deep fantasy side that you don't let come out, who knows.
I just see person after person ask which niche is best, how to get traffic, when they are missing the point altogether. You say it, and it's like they don't even see it. Over their head.
Basically no niche is better than another. Basically no traffic tactic that is really better than another. None of that really matters. to a point.
What matters is what you say. If your blog is not interesting or does not have some kind of character(personality), or even a character as in fictional person, if your blog is not interesting, it doesn't matter what niche your in or how you try to gather traffic, your blog probably won't be a hit. There exceptions to the rule, or if you trade a bunch of traffic (force surfers to your site).
I have a bunch of blogs that just spit out porn, different niches, how do they do? Just okay. Why? Because of what I said above.
I have another blog where I created a character, a fantasy character that is interesting and the surfers believe it. Guess what it was a hit pretty quick, much more so than my other blogs. It's not a huge success because I don't put enough in to it, not as I should. I don't push the envelope as much as I could. I'll tell you though, how many e-mails I've gotten from people talking to this fake "girl", they want to meet her, date her, ect. Believing the fantasy and coming back to keep reading. Even though I haven't got it to the best it can be, for time spent it is the most productive.
I think every one has it in them. Some wild side they wish they could live, some dark side no one knows about. They might even know some one that is interesting.
Instead of worrying about which niche, or which traffic generation tip, why not create something people want to read? Content is king and always will be. Many say, if you produce good (or interesting) content, people will find you. It would also help a GREAT deal if it was something you would be interested in, something that excites you.
Stop chasing the pot of gold and just create. Create interesting.
