Chicken or egg?
I looked around clickbank for products to promote. Ones that i felt provide value and havn't been smashed to blazes by everyone else already.
From what i can see there are some VERY niche products but in areas i cannot see being bit hitters or of interest to me- ie: (and not a real example) "How to fold napkins like a pro".
So instead of just picking a random product just because it was very niche, had good unchallenged keywords and not much competition didn't make sense.
Neither did taking on a massive niche like money making where as a newbie i will get outmuscled and out experienced.
So instead i thought of a different approach.
I take an area of interest to me- ie: parenting, and thought i would build a blog/site around that and then promote related products from clickbank.
However when researching the parenthood area with keywords etc, i find massive competition.
So i have niche products that are targeting keywords that are searched for fairly often (30k times a month) so if i just pushed the products on their own i would be able to rank well but provide little content other than a few articles and an offer, or i can create a good parenting site with lots of content and those same products promoted within the site, and will stand little or no chance of ranking well.
Does this make any sense?
Basically i realise i am not sure which approach to take. If you have a big niche area like parenting where there are alot of competing sites, but have a product that is a tiny niche within the parenting arena, how do you attack it?
This is probably very badly worded but that is how it is coming out in my mind as i sit here!
