Some blogging niches are easy to pin down. Mom blogs are mostly about parenting kids. Small business blogs are about running a small business.

Lifestyle blogs are a little different, though. They often cover multiple related topics, perhaps delving into areas like food, fashion, and travel. However, they generally aren’t just a food blog, fashion blog, or travel blog. What ties a lifestyle blog together is the strong sense of voice and style from the blogger.

Most lifestyle blogs will have a very clear target audience. At a bare minimum, this audience is usually pretty clearly geared toward either women or men, but you’ll generally find that lifestyle bloggers are targeting a specific age group and often a certain type of person who aspires to a particular kind of lifestyle—that lifestyle is what’s being promoted by the blog.

So whether you’re a vegan 30-something looking to reach an audience of fellow millennial women, or a sharp-dressed man in your 60s wanting to inspire a love of style in the younger generation, lifestyle blogging could be for you.

Tip: A lifestyle blog isn’t a personal blog. If you want to build a popular lifestyle blog, that isn’t just about living your best life … but about helping readers to live their best life too.
