It’s rather advisable to avoid niche names and go for sub-niches such as “affiliate marketing”, “content marketing” and so on.

And there can be more examples of such names- to cut it short; it would be better if you choose your blog suitable to a sub-niche category. This will increase your chances of getting success as far as your blog is concerned.
