I've just come up with an AWESOME idea for a content format I've never seen before:

16 SEOs to follow in 2022 🎉

Strap yourself in for a MEGA THREAD...
1) Janet O

Janet says things like, 'you can't have SEO without O... Janet O'.

No one knows that this means.

In her spare time, she enjoys walks on the beach, classical music and canonical tags.
2) Secret Steven

Secret Steven is making big waves & has won loads of industry awards.

Only problem is he's so secretive, no one can find him to give him his awards.

Does Wikipedia give you enough data to create a topic cluster (for a niche you know nothing about)?

DISCLAIMER: If you want to build a comprehensive topic cluster, there's no substitute for proper research

BUT, that's not always possible (no budget/time, etc)

Treat this as minimum viable niche research (MVNR) which I sadly don't see catching on as the next big #SEO acronym 😅
For this example, let's build a simple content plan around the topic *personal injury lawyer*

(which I know NOTHING about)

First up, see if theres a wiki page:

Niche selection vs analysis paralysis, it's a fine line.

To avoid procrastinating when building content sites, I use a *very* simple checklist before I do anything.
My philosophy for building content sites:

Niche sites are places to experiment + generate additional income. I don't want to spend all my time building, managing or putting all my eggs in one basket.

I want to front load content, get it ranked, revisit + improve.
So based on that, here are the things I look for when deciding to build out a site.
