• Select the best topic/niche to focus on.
Your Blog should focus on a unique special topic, which shall improve user engagement, I have tried recently to add multiple niche' on my blog and it became a lot of work for me as I was facing difficulties in maintaining the blog until I had to study secret behind giant blogs and I noticed that they had multiple writers which were assigned for certain the topics. You can run a multiple niche blog only if you can easily manage it but if you are struggling with maintaining a single blog, I would recommend that you go back to the single niche blog.

Sticking and focusing on one niche will give you a chance to better control your blog and thus giving Google a chance to know  your site better.
