Some bloggers who are well-known in the niche just call Raditya Dika (Male Goat) who discusses about his personal funny experiences. Or Rangga Aditia (raditheraphy) who reviewed the latest film.
Don't choose a difficult theme because you want to look cool. Find something close to you so it's easy to create content. The quality of writing can be accounted for later.
