Lists for Multiple Niches

3 replies
Hi Guys,

I've been a member of the forums for a while, and have read and learned a ton. I started taking action a few months back with adsense, and this is going ok, still learning, making progress, but I know it's not an overnight thing. In any case, I started thinking about diversifying a bit, and getting into selling affiliate products (i.e. clickbank, etc). I've read quite a bit about this, and it seems the saying goes 'the money is in the list.' My question is, if I choose highly targeted niches, and more than one ultimately, I'm assuming I'm setting up separate lists for these. For example lets say I start with a marketing a clickbank product on home-based humane dog training, and I do all the work building the site and doing all the seo and promotion, etc and start seeing results. Then I market a product on how to make money from home. Obviously these are two completely different niches.

I know a lot of people have multiple niches up at any given time, I know this happens a lot in the micro niche adsense model, etc. Is it better to pick an overall niche and then promote products within that niche or related sub-category, etc, when building lists and marketing products? Maybe this is a boneheaded question, and if so I do apologize. I'm just realizing how many more questions I keep coming up with after actually doing these things, rather than simply reading and learning .

In any case, any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for a long-term business here, and I know having lists to market to at will is where it's at. I don't have a problem building multiple lists, in fact I'm expecting that to be the case. But I guess where I'm getting a bit confused is, if I'm going to market a hemorrhoid treatment info product and building a list there, is that list going to be marketed to for only hemmorrhoid products going forward? I guess you could market other health/remedy-related products I assume. Maybe I just answered my own question. Anyway enough rambling. Thanks in advance!

    It has been my experience that most people get into a niche and really capitalize. Now it is common for people to try several niches until they finally arrive at something that is a good match for them. But once you decide where you feel you can best succeed, I would recommend developing that niche, and the Katamari Technique is one of my favorite ways of describing how to do that. Basically, it has to do with making a series of small wins, and then increasing the size of the wins (competitiveness of the keywords) as you press forward.

    I've been thinking about quitting the current niche I'm in and moving into something that people actually want.

      Why? What makes you think that you are in the wrong niche? Or, what makes you chosen that niche initially.

      Just curious. I mean are you quitting because you haven't make money in your niche yet? I am not experienced marketer but I think we all have to work at one niche longer to really see the results, if you have been doing the right things.

      No offence. This kind of thinking always comes to me as well. Keep having the thought to give up when there is no result, no money comes in. But I guess just hang in there, a little bit more...
