Did you succeed in a niche you knew NOTHING about?

When I first started I knew absolutely nothing. I used the provided capture page, the provided email follow ups given by the vendor. And just went crazy driving traffic.

I made almost $1,000 my first 14 days online and almost $3,000 my first 30 days.

As I learned more and more about the market and industry I was in I started to create my own content and share my own opinions on what was working for me.

So yes I did make money in a space I knew nothing about, and almost 9 years later I know a whole bunch about it.

When I first started out online, I started my marketing in the weight loss niche which was absolutely NOT my speciality...

I ended up making a few hundred bucks there before I switched over to the Internet Marketing niche.

Anything is possible, but you would like to give yourself the best possible chance by choosing a niche you know at least a little but about.

It's really easy to learn almost anything on the Internet, I don't know if I'd trust everything outsourced

I don't know if succeed is the right word but I made money in the weight loss niche by outsourcing my content and putting it on blogs, lens etc.

Why not just thoroughly research the niche? Every.single.day.

Yes it is very much Possible,

When i started IM a few years ago ,I did not know anything about MMO,

I did not even know if it was even possible to make money online

Well, I am succeeding in a niche I had no clue, at all, about.

When I first started online a few years ago, I had no idea about blogging, internet marketing and affiliate marketing. I mean, I did not even know what "Blogging" was, or what a "Domain Name" was.

I had no idea about ANYTHING.

Plus, I was still learning English too! hahaha ...

So, I started from the very bottom. From the very scratch.

And I worked my way up from there.

I started to invest in my internet marketing education. And I started to learn a lot about blogging and affiliate marketing.

I spent countless hours, and long nights, studying, testing, implementing, and just being all over the place, to learn it all. It took about 2 years to make my first dollar online.

It was a very long and challenging journey for me.

But, I never gave up. And I'm going to be honest, there were many times when I did think about quitting.

I just kept on pushing, and kept on studying, learning, testing, and implementing.

Today, I can build you a very nice WordPress Site in just a few minutes. I have made good money selling my skills. I have built many WordPress Membership Sites and simple WordPress Sites for hundreds of people.

I'm also building a passive income stream from Blogging - in the Internet Marketing Niche and also with Network Marketing.

I have helped so many people online too. I teach a lot of knowledge, every week, to a lot of people. And I truly love it!

It became a big passion to teach others about internet marketing, blogging, affiliate marketing, SEO, etc.

I'm shooting straight to the stars in this Niche. And take note that the internet marketing niche is one of the most competitive niches!

But that did not matter to me.

I had a dream.

I had a vision.

That one day, I will be doing what I am doing today. hehehe

And look, I am a high school dropout. I moved to the US at the age of 15.

When I first started online, I was 22 years old - and let me tell you, I was still learning English! LOL

So, if I can come this far - how far can someone who graduated high school, and maybe even went to college, and English is their first language - can go???!!

You tell me!!

Anything is Possible my friend!

People do it all the time.

Your real job is to STRATEGIZE and BUILD SYSTEMS

Everything else is secondary.

Everything else can be delegated or outsourced.

No. I've never done that. I've only succeeded in niches I've researched heavily to be honest.

You should know your stuffs first before outsourcing to other people. If the things are done at 80% at your expectation you can delegate those tasks without a doubt. John Chow is making money just by outsourcing. Yes, it is possible to success just like John Chow. His blog is full of ideas which you can make use of.

YES, it is surely possible to succeed without hard work, just by outsourcing with your dollars. That's the hard truth.

It is difficult to succeed in such niche but not possible if you know what you are doing.

Well, it would be better if you create your website in a niche you have some knowledge about, but with the internet being what it is today, you can become an expert in almost any domain in no time.

It`s logical that it will be a little harder at first in a niche that you aren`t familiarized with but it won`t be impossible to obtain a revenue.

The trick is to find a system that works for you and try to apply that system with adaptations to different niches.

Also, please don`t get discouraged, give it time, you can`t make money overnight .

Just to show how it can be done, a few years ago, I was looking for weird things to sell on an ebay store, I decided to go way out there, and went for meteorites.

All I needed to do was write up a few pages, which I researched, and added the categories.

I made several hundred dollars from my meteorite site, and I have never even held one in my hand.

I no longer have the site, it was an automated script that ebay has since banned, shame on them...

Yes you can succeed. And I didn't outsource. Just learned as I went along. Niche is Mobility Products, Mobility Scooters, Wheelchairs

It's important to succeed in a niche that you like or you will not have passion for your business.

No, I definitely knew about programming in order to make the software.

I wouldn't want to do nothing I don't know.

You must learn top to bottom what it is you're selling, in my honest opinion.

I tried to go into niches that I knew nothing about, but the problem was I was more successful in the ones where I had prior knowledge. Over 15 years later as I look back it was the niches that I was most interested in that I did the best in. In some cases I did a lot of my own research and became interested of course.

Go for a niche that is not only profitable but where you ENJOY being in ie: Body Building.

That way when you are doing a niche you love the work becomes second nature.

The stronger you can build a relationship with your list the better.

It is possible to success because you can find any information on the internet. Besides, you can also purchase a PLR (Private Label Rights) product to sell for the niche you are interested. PLR would provides the tools you need in the niche you choose.

Nope, not possible. Well, if you want to make a couple of hundred bucks, sure. But if you want to make ... ehm.. a little more, then you'll have to be a real expert. It all comes down to this: are you satisfied with a couple of bucks, or do you want millions?

It can be done, infect it's done...

I'm making passive income from over 300 niche products of mine I know nothing about. They were all built from UPGRADED plr products.

Through out the years of selling these products I've got to learn about most of them, mostly from checking through my outsourced work like articles, videos... etc

yeah i guess so i made a weight loss site that promoted a CPA offer and i got no clue on weight loss lol

THIS.....IS WHAT P**** ME OFF ABOUT I.M'ING.

Would you take advice offline from someone that pretended to be an expert?

But online it's all good.

This is why the general public are buying less and less info/knowledge online because it has been abused to death but the "quick buck" mentality.

Even on this post most are fine with churning crap out they know nothing about

Discrat: out of interest..how much time do you spend posting on this forum every day? Do you not think you need to post less and spend your time more constructively?

Not even close to true.

I made most of my money online from MMORPG guides. I've never played an MMORPG. I do however have excellent research skills.

Yes, it is possible. Nowadays there are many works which is done by the freelancer. Today one can get a freelancer at a rally cheap price. The freelancer will do everything for you. So it is really easy to succeed in any sector. Best of luck. Thanks.

You can succeed in any niche and outsource most of your business. But I always say to stay in a niche you have some knowledge about and passionate about. It's easy in the long run.

It probably is possible (blame quantum mechanics), but I don't advise you do it. And when things that are outsourced don't meet your standards and expectations... you're going to be pissed.

'Success' is really subjective.

There might be someone who regards a few hundred Dollars per month added to several other product income streams as a success. There might be 'success' but great margin for more in contrast to having experience in the product, and this is probably something some people might never know unless they go on to research and release a future version.

Others, with more focus on the single product (or few) might regard it as unsuccessful.

Outsourcing is rife, but it's perhaps only truly plausible if we are also outsourcing to a handful of people who effectively check the developed content, otherwise we'd be playing blind. This would then reflect in the success of the product in whatever context that might be measured.

This is why most "warriors" won't succeed online and is probably the joke of the real internet marketing community online. Everyone wants a shortcut without putting in the hours to research a niche and become knowledgeable on it, and then building a website that people will care about. I only started to "succeed" (as in create a reasonably sustainable, organically growing income) when I got heavily invested into a niche I am passionate about.

Any other way you will either lose interest, churn out shitty content nobody cares about (and then have to use crappy link building methods because no authority site would dream of linking to you organically), and then be paranoid constantly about losing your income on the next google algo update.

If people just spent at least 6 months to a year looking into a niche very carefully, gathering knowledge, and doing personal research, and THEN bothered building a quality website, they might have some success. But everyone wants to sell eachother "make money online" methods and call it a "business" (or other popular niches where everyone copies eachother). More and more hype isn't the solution. If you are serious about IM then you will need to have some serious motivation, it's nowhere near as effortless as everyone thinks it is going to be.

Someone has said above "success is relative". I agree. I wouldn't say I have had success. But i have done websites with a niche that I know nothing about it and hired writers and monetize it with adsense and other Ads and I have been earning a decent amount of $$$ for years. This being said, nowadays the content quality is the most important thing, so this "method" is no longer working for me. So I'm focusing on creating really good quality myself.

I have my own digital products in various niches. I knew a little, but a lot of researching and testing resulting in some very good profit making products. I have sold everything form physical products, digital products, kindle, affiliate marketing, private labeling, etc. Now I concentrate on 1 thing until I am successful then I move to the next. I use to jump around from method to method. Just do your research and test out the market.

Sure yes. Its much more important to actually find hot niches than to know anything about them.

If you find a niche that you can generate optins on using a simple landing page and a very small adwords budget, then you are on to something.

Once you know you have some proven demand *then* learn more about it and become an expert.

YES, John chow is one of them.

This is not my blog, but I keep reading his blogs frequently.

Living on Arbitrage – How To Outsource Your Blog | John Chow dot Com

You don't need to be an expert in ANYTHING to build entertainment sites that make a shedload of money through Adsense, Outbrain, etc. All you need to be able to do is build a half decent Wordpress site, install some plugins and hire someone to write bog standard - but unique - content. Learn how to drive social traffic and dig your nails in for the long run... code systems to automate if you know PHP, CRON and databases.

My first niche was gambling casino niche.. some dude got me with some lame strategy but his sales copy was amazing. Back then i didn't even knew about Internet Marketing.. so what i did was i copied what he used on me and made my own similar product. Made about 20k with it in 2 years.. could've had more but i was a noob and didn't knew anything about traffic and such. Got all my traffic from torrents..
