If you have a budget, then go with a macro niche. If you don't have a budget, then it's better to stick to a micro niche.

Both macro and micro-niches are good for a beginner blogger. They both have special advantages such as affiliate marketing etc… But when you choosing a niche to your blog keep in mind that you should choose a niche that you know very much. As an example, if you are interested in pet link dogs, cats, you can start a blog about pets. So keep it in your mind. Blog what you interest. It might be a macro niche or a micro!!!

This is just me, okay - go for micro niche. Right now, everyone is leaning on a certain specialization. If you choose a micro niche that you are passionate with, it will give you the traction to start with. Most often than not, they also take less time to start (focused research, etc) and lesser competition.

Choosing your niche totally depends on the quality of blogs you write ,however you can check on google trends on your specific topic to see how many searches are there related to that aand you should also type in google to check if people are also engaged in that certain niche

If you´re going to target a "macro" niche you need to be prepared to compete for highly competitive keywords.
On the other hand, selecting a micro-niche it´s a very subjective decision that highly depends on each person. For this, you need to go beyond metrics and focus on niches you have a particular interest, passion, knowledge, and/or experience in.
Or, you will have a very difficult time sustaining all the work required to make it a viable project financially for you in the long run.

It depends on the monetization model you have in mind.
Are you looking to be an affiliate?
If you're looking to make money through affiliate sales, then pay close attention to the per-unit price of the items you're selling.
For example, if you're thinking of selling stuff on Amazon, keep in mind that different product categories have different average prices.
Since Amazon has been reducing the commission rate that they're paying, average product prices count for a lot.
There's a big difference between an espresso machine that sells for $500 and a handy mask that you can sell for $10 a pop.
If you're only going to get a 4% commission, the initial product price is extremely important.
Start with the product or service that you're selling, and then focus on the kind of questions that people would ask about that type of product.
This should then give you an idea as to the type of site you should build.
You're saying, “should it be a micro-niche or a macro-niche?”
I’ll start with a micro-niche, but the domain name should be a little bit wider.
So, for example, you're starting with a certain type of blender, but your domain name implies that you cover a wider range of blenders.
