“blog suc-cess validation” exercise will help you determine whether your blog has real potential. It will also help you understand why most blogs fail.
Potential niche size
Even if you've a brilliant blog idea, you will likely find some things  diffficult before you succeed unless you find a niche market that attracts enough people or one with little competition.
You don’t want your niche to be too small or too big.
Example: The size of “BLOGGING” niche is, on average, more than 4.8 million monthly searches. This niche might be too big and broad.                                                                                                                  
However if you pursue a niche that is very narrow, such as  “MYBLOG” (average 4,000 searches monthly), the volume of searches would be too small. One way to drill down from “BLOGGING” would be “BLOGGERS tips” (average 350,000 total monthly searches) or even deeper down “BLOGGING for beginners” (average 250,000 total monthly searches).
Check the size of your niche:
I. Check the top five keywords for your niche market. Look for at least 10 thousand monthly searches combined for  the five keywords. You can use Google Keyword Planner (free), Market Samurai (paid) or WordTracker (partially free) to check for the volume of searches and get keywords ideas.
You want YOUR BLOG TO BE WELL KNOW; there is a large enough audience  looking for the kind of information you will provide, but not so large that you will get lost in the crowd.
Use the Google Keyword Planner tool to get top keyword ideas and search volume:
i. Select the “Search for new keyword and group ideas” tab. Enter your main keyword (see examples in our “BLOGGERS TIPS”) and get ideas by looking at the list of suggested keywords.
ii. Select the top five keywords that fit the niche market you chose.
iii. Check the search volume for each keyword and add them together.
Let's say for Instance:  searching The below five BLOGGERS TIPS keywords, yielded the following search results:
“BLOGGERS  TIPS” 9,900                                                                                                                                                  
“BLOGGING TIPS"8,100                                                                                                                                                        
“HOW TO BLOG TIPS” 1,000                                                                                                                                      
“BLOGGER TIPS FOR BEGINNERS” 880                                                                                                                                      
“MY BLOGGER TIPS” 480                                                                                                                                            
With these five keywords, i have a little over 20,000 average monthly searches. This niche market (“BLOGGERS TIPS”) has enough volume and would be a good choice for a blog.
Potential competition
It’s a good sign if you have competition.
It means others are talking about your niche too  and actively pursuing it.
It’s also essential to note that bloggers in your niche are not always your competitors.
Potential monetization
Do you love to earn money with your blog?                                                                                                                                                            There are many people  who start blogging as a hobby without necessarily looking at monetizing their blog.   However, others want to make some cool  cash or even dream of earning  a living by blogging.                                                                                                                                                        Well,it doesn’t matter the  category you belong, because it wouldn’t hurt to know if your blog can produce the income you desire.                                                                                                                                                                If you found other blogs, active social profiles and offline magazines or journals active,this means the niche is active and possibly monetizable
