Generally speaking or as a rule never start a blog about a subject or topic you know nothing about. The only exception here is if you are willing to learn about it or is blogging about the learning process.
Many bloggers are making the mistake of starting blogs on subjects that they do not really know about or love.
Here are some reasons why you should not take that approach.
-
Knowledge
If you have no knowledge about a topic how can you crank out post? How can you write about stuff you know nothing of? (You can pay someone to write for you but for how long) Blogging about something you know nothing of is both deceitful and fake.
2. Authority
Building authority is very essential for online success. Building authority requires you showing that you really know the subject you are writing on (and other techniques too). If you start a blog about a subject you know nothing about. You will find it hard to build that needed authority.
3. Content
Blogging is an activity that requires you putting out quality content on a regular basis. Content could be in videos, audio, pictures or text format. If you start a blog on a topic you know nothing of how would you consistently crank out quality content? You can copy content made by others but one day your ignorance will shine like the star.
4. Competition
Competition is inevitable whether in blogging , in business or in every facet of life. If you have no idea or about a topic and is not willing to learn how can you compete with others.In no time you will be booted out.
conclusions
Start a blog on topics you love ,or have knowledge in or is willing to learn about.

Hi MkAkan,
I do agree at some extend lots of bloggers especially the ‘youngster’ still do not realized that how dangerous it could be to just follow the excitement of blogger-sphere. Pardon me, blog niche such as blog-showing-you-how-to-make-money-online or blog-could-make-you-6-figure have dominant the world of this sphere. Nevertheless, only a few survive and continue their journey…
