Micro niche in fitness- do you need qualifications and do you absolutely have to do youtube?

Hi, I would like to start a blog in a microniche of the fitness industry because I have passion for it and I have a decent amount of knowledge on the topic. I am not an expert at all but I am a fan of massaging, massage guns, massage balls, foam rollers so I have been thinking of something like: massage tools for home use for non-athletes (for people who sit all day and get stiff) /massage tools for calisthenics /massage tools for mma. So I would write product reviews on for example foam rollers and massage guns but also content like what causes certain kinds of stiffness, what are trigger points to aim for with massage guns etc.

But I am a bit stuck so my questions would be:

  1. Do you think this niche is not too broad or should I niche down even more?
  2. Do you think that I will be able to progress from this niche or is fitness so competitive that I will be stuck in my small niche because of big players?
  3. Would I really need to have qualifications like a massage therapist or personal trainer (I've heard that a lot) just to write a blog/do youtube on this?
  4. Will I absolutely have to start a youtube channel to progress? I did a bit of research and about 30-50% of SERPs for massage gun keywords are just 4 youtube videos on the top of the SERP. So is it unlikely that my blog would beat these (not so viewed) youtube videos even if I have better content? Do youtube videos almost always beat blogs in the fitness industry?

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
