A quick search on Google should be enough to convince you that there is a lot less competition in 'Home Cleaning' market than in 'Home Business' market.

OK great you say, but how can I make money by giving away my cleaning knowledge? Good question...

Next you search for affiliate programs that market cleaning products. Join one of them, try their products, and, if they are products that you would use, go ahead and start advertising them on your new web site.

There are lots of very good mlm and affiliate programs available that have several great products in many different categories. Most of them will not only allow you to market their products but also to recruit others into your downline and earn residual income. Just ensure it is a reputable company which has been around for a long time and has positive feedback from its affiliates.

And there you have it, your own niche market. Keep adding valuable content to your site and before long you just may be number one in search rankings and 'Corner The Market'.

There is no limit to number of niche markets. Where there is knowledge of something, there is someone else searching for that knowledge. It could be you who provides it. There is nothing saying you cannot diversify into several niches. Build separate web sites, with separate domain names, for each niche.

Don't be afraid to jump in with both feet. You're planning to build a web site anyway, why not build it in a category that is not so competitive. Besides, running your home business in a field that you love will make it much less of a task and a lot more enjoyable.

5.) Clarity and simplicity. Keep your posts and blog entries clear and easy to understand. Remember, web is global and expressions, idioms and acronyms don't always translate. Sometimes a little explanation goes a long way.

6.) Keyword-rich. If goal of your blog is to increase your visibility, include related keywords in title of blog. Use title as a headline to attract interest. Each item post should have a title that will attract attention but still be relevant to post. The title should be no longer than 10-12 words.

7.) Quantity matters. In order to attract attention of search engines, you will need to develop content and substance. A headline or simple sentence is not going to generate interest of readers or help with search engine ranking. Be sure to archive old blog posts to develop a large portal of similarly-themed content.

8.) Frequency. If your blog content is updated frequently, search engines will tend to spider pages at regular intervals.

9.) Spell checking and proof-reading. It only takes a few extra moments and can save you from having to make embarrassing explanations. Remember that whatever you publish on Internet can be found and archived. Think carefully about what you post before doing so.

10.) RSS. RSS will increase your blog's reach. It is important that you include your blog's content in an RSS feed to increase readership and distribution.

Most weblog audiences are small, but with time and regular updates audiences grow. Bloggers may never have more than a few hundred readers, but people who return to regularly are generally interested in what you have to say.
