My only struggle...

I my self need improvement in this dept.

Just pick one.

Every day you sit there scratching your head about whether this niche is good or not, you're not making any money and you're not learning anything.

Pick one. Buy a domain. Get a web site up. Promote a product. Write articles for whatever keywords there are. Just do it.

In a week or two, you'll know whether it was any good or not.

During that week or two, pick another niche. Just pick one. Any one. Domain, site, promote. Done with that one? Pick another.

Over the course of a month, you can probably do five or six of these. In two months, you'll have a dozen. It will have cost you about $150. If you don't have that much money, it's okay - just do what you can.

At the end of each month, look at all the sites that are more than a month old. Put half of them up for sale on Flippa. It's up to you which ones. I'd sell the ones that make the least money, myself.

So in month one, none of them are a month old. In month two, you sell two or three sites. In month three and thereafter, you sell five. Throughout the process, you're improving the quality of the sites you build, and you always have five aged and performing sites.

If you can't do five a month, for whatever reason, just do what you can. Even one site a month is better than nothing, right?

The worst that can happen is you buy a $12 domain and some $8 hosting and nobody will buy it when you try to sell. You're out $50. That's the worst it gets. Is that so bad? And it can't possibly happen every single time, can it?

Even a blind dog finds a bone sometimes. If you just keep doing this, niche after niche after niche - you'll stumble over something that works. But if you sit there not trying, you won't stumble over a damn thing.

The Challenge

this site might help you

I'm not sure if you are struggling to find a niche within a chosen arena or if you simply can't decide on a niche per se. Not uncommon either way.
Obviously your areas of interest and passion is where to start but sounds like you've exhausted that already. So - here's a few places where we go for inspiration.
Amazon.com : They have a link to their top 100 best sellers. A quick browse through this list should give you some ideas. This way you get exposed to products that people are already buying online.
Ebay.com : They have is a list of the most popular searches for each category. This list usually has the top 10 popular searches in that particular category. Popular means potential niche market!
Magazines.com : The internet's biggest magazine website. The thinking here is that if the market can manage to sustain a magazine then it is probably a profitable market.
Hope this helps

pick a niche that you already know something about.

Hi Florida,
I just read your post and this is my recommendation.

My mentor used to taught me that if you want to start making money in internet marketing, don't expect everything to be perfect when you start creating your marketing system and driving traffic.

You just need to get started first. You don't need a hot niche. The important thing is to get your marketing system up and start driving traffic.

By reading your post, I am not sure what kind of method you would want to market the Clickbank products.

Since you are writing articles, I assume you are using Article Marketing.

I have a written a report on how to market affiliate products using article marketing and it's free. There's no opt-in needed.
Here's the link: http://speedaffiliatecode.com/noptin.../warriors.html

Hope it helps,

I try to pick out a hot product or best seller for companies like amazon or walmart. I then analyze that keyword and other phrases that include that keyword to see what kind of competition exists and how many searches per month those phrases get.

Have you bought anything online before?

That would be a great niche to start in, as you already understand the customer.

One other idea for a niche is to look up the "... for Dummies" website. Again if a market can sustain a "Dummies" book, then there is likely to be a sustainable volume.

This idea is nothing new I have seen it a number of places for advice, just not been mentioned in this site.

But the best advice given already is to follow the premise

READY, FIRE AIM, start doing something even when you know it isn't perfect yet and you will learn on the way.

All the best

Thanks everyone...I choose to go w/ relationship problems

Hi FloridaLIFE:

Here is an example of a niche that yields good money. Science Fiction Artwork. However, you must know people in galleries, how to sell on consignment, artists that are up and coming.

It is like any other business - a lot of work to get started, and then you start to make money with your online gallery.

Thanks! I finally found the market I'm interested in, and that is "Self Help"
I might do addiction cause if people are willing to change they'll be willing to buy a 30$ eBook or something to do relationships
