Health is a very large and very popular topic choice for writers because, in general, people are always interested in their own health and well-being, as well as that of those they care about. However, because health is such a large topic area, it is important to create your own unique niche among the many other people who write about health issues. The first thing for the writer to consider is if there is anything about them that makes them uniquely qualified to write on a specific health topic area. For instance, if the writer has a chronic health condition or if a member of the writer’s family has a chronic health condition. The other way for a writer to carve out their own niche in the health field is to narrow the health topic into a specific perspective and type of health. The perspective could be that of a doctor, medical professional, patient, caregiver, or observer. The focus could be homeopathic remedies, the relationship between the mind and body in healing, the power of the mind over the body, a specific health condition, health prevention, supplements, managing chronic pain, alternative medical treatments, medical research, FDA trials, medical case studies, medical research, or any other topic that falls under the field of health.

Popular Topics

The most popular niches in the health field are highly specific topics by a writer with professional or personal experience in the area. In the health field, readers do not just want the cold facts, but also the personal stories that make them feel like they are not alone in dealing with their health issues. They also want to read argumentative topics that have more than one answer. Finding these sorts of topics in the health field is generally easy as there are multiple methods of medical treatment and many arguments for why one method is better than another method. For best results, writers should choose argumentative topics that fall into their chosen health niche. For example, a writer choosing to write a blog on homeopathic remedies from the perspective of the doctor could argue for or against homeopathic treatments, and could include a few stories about anonymous people who have been successful or unsuccessful in homeopathic treatment.
