Infact I am having a debate on that with some of my friends. It is said that Niche blogging is the faster way to success, but I dont agree. I am with you, a blog should have something for everyone. :) The number of readers is not a concern, a small but strong community is far better than a large inactive community..

In other words, a niche blog will get a lot of readers only if the topics are popular. Your blog is a blog that appeals to many readers - across the board. It's broad enough to have something for everyone. Many other blogs are more specialized, and for those bloggers - it's harder. It's kind of like writing a book. If you write something that will appeal to the masses, your bound to sell more copies than something that only appears to a select group. Writing good content every day takes work, but if you're willing to do it - even if you have a specialized blog, you can still maintain a good following. Will you get at least 1,000 readers a day? Probably not. But that doesn't mean you have a "bad" blog if your content is updated regularly and is on topic.
