Do you mean Game - like spitting game to girls and pick up artists stuff?

Go with fat loss if that is the case IMHO.

In my real honest opinion I am unsure why you are cutting your business down to one finger...?

Having your fingers spread wide and in many pies is usually a wise idea so long as your are an executer and not a "start one project and halfway finish then move on" kindof guy.

I am new here. I thought fat loss is very common already. I would go for the game.

By games, I think you mean video games right?

I think you should go for both. Maybe you can do this:

Games that help you lose weight

There are a lot of games like that nowadays, like the Nintendo Wii Fit series...

Then you can use material for both of the sites at the same time.

Fat loss is very competetive but highly lucrative . . .. If I had a chance of good SERPS i'd go with that . . .

Hey there...

When thinking about what niche to choose, ask yourself the question "How competitive is this niche?" Also ask "What specific problem exists in this niche that I can address - that others have not addressed already?" The idea in choosing a good niche is not the niche itself, but rather making your offering unique and different in that niche. Gaming and weight loss are very common niches - personally, I think gaming is too saturated and not the best pick. With weight loss, I would recommend finding products that are proven to be successful, not only in the short term, but also in the long term. Long term success distinguishes the real products from the scams.

Hope this helped provide some pointers.

Just my two cents - weight loss is good but trend it with healthy eating/eco green. People are starting to get interested due to the increasing worry of unhealthy food and the price that food has gone up. I recently purchased two healthy eating / self self-sufficiency guides online. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

How much do you actually know about fat loss? People don't need another IMer in that niche just to make a buck. If you aren't an expert - go for the gaming where you can't hurt anyone if you don't know exactly what you're doing.

Enter the fat loss niche with a product that people can trust that's not Acai or Green Tea. People have begun to associate these two products, in addition to most fat loss products, as scams. Come up with something new and original, and you'll be golden.

You already own both sites so you have a rough idea what its going to take to get momentum going with each site.
if not evaluate the size of the task once your working with firm data you can formulate a plan of attack for each then go with which ever one flicks your switch be it the easier one or the more challenging
only you know the answer

I think this is one you have to decide on your own depending on personal preferences and your own knowledge.

It is hard to get anywhere in the fat loss niche because it is not only very competitive, but scams are everywhere, so people are very cautious when shopping and looking for info in this niche.

While gaming is smaller it may be easier to dominate a portion of that niche. Do some keyword research and find out which one you think would be better suited for you.

I wouldent go for either, The idea of picking a niche is to find a undersold or obscure product that still has enough following to make money with. Both Games and fat loss are so over hyped it would be hard to break into the market unless you had a huge budget.

why not do both? If you have the time that is... though there are a lot of fat loss IMer's out there, it's an extremely saturated field, no pun intended, well maybe

I agree with you: the no.1 best selling for weight loss niche on CLICKBANK is about healthy eating.The reason is that most of the buyer for weight loss products is mid-age women.

I will go for fat loss or I will do further research for less competition keywords and high conversion.

Are you talking about affiliate sites or creating your own products?

If you're going to create a product, go for fat loss.

Yes there's a lot of competition, but that means there's also a lot of partners to JV with you.

Do people actually search with keywords that make sense like 'fat loss'? Or do they just use nonsensical keywords like weight loss(yeah I can help you lose some weight with a chainsaw). You could go for adipose tissue loss

I agree with the games to burn fat motion. There are tons like DDR.

OK, I have been in both niches. The lose weight niche is too crowded and has many major players that are hard to compete with and becoming more so. Also, there are many regulations on food items such as diet pills so that is another minus.

I have made a lot of money in games. There is some regulation for games with a lot of violence, racism, or adult content so stay away from anything that can put you in prison. Regular arcade type games are too crowded, but I grabbed a lot of money with dating sims. These are in the area of romance.

Most games are easy to program. A guy shows up. He must select which girl in town he is most compatible with and and start a relationship. Basically, you win the game if you get the girl to marry you.

These are very popular and I am working on a new one now.

As IM guru preach you should go the fat loss and other big niche for big porfit, but this is suitable for experienced marketer. if you do not have much experience, go for some smaller niche.

I am talking about the affiliate sites
As to create my own products: I plan a membership site on the MS Excel training which I am experienced. Maybe I may write a book on EXCEL
