Why You Should Create Niche-Specific Content

It's important to let your niche guide your content creation. Outbrain says that niche content, also known as focused content, has tremendous benefits. Here are some you can expect to experience while creating niche content:

• It’s easier to repurpose content: When all of your content is about the same topic. You can create ebooks, email courses, and other reused content forms. The same piece of content can be used in multiple ways, simply because it is all related and is flexible based on how you want to present an idea.

• Capitalize on your expertise. You already know what you know. That’s only going to help you create content faster. While you may have to research and stay on top of trends, your underlying knowledge is going to take some of the pain out of creating content. You’ll also be better able to answer questions from your audience

• Show that you are an expert. An expert is not a jack of all trades, and your core content shows that you are focused on one thing instead of spreading out too thinly across many topics. That means your audience knows how to categorize you, which sounds like a bad thing, but isn’t. When they have a specific question, they'll know to turn to specific experts.

• Build on previous content. Focused content is related content, often in a methodical way. Linking back to your content is good both for search engine reasons as well as for introducing new readers to your old content. When content is all related, it’s easier to bring the old content to the top.

When you create core content and combine that with your core audience you can't help but drive traffic and amazing conversions.
