Trying to find my "niche"

I picked the make money online niche because it fell in good with my passion about small business. I felt that by teaching people how to make money online I am also teaching people how to start and run their own business.

So my suggestion is follow your heart and promote the niche that you enjoy. It will make things much easier when it comes to writing blog posts.

As far as picking a niche, it really should be something that your interested in. Cause in the end who wants to do something they don't even have an interest for.....lol. I would definetly do some research in finding what niches are hot and what are not. Then narrow down the rest of your options and stick with it. Even when you think it isn't going to work. 9 out of 10 people start something and either get frustrated and just give up, or just plain out aren't taught the right kind of system to help them find success. We too are in the Affiliate Marketing/Making Money Online niche. It seems to be a profitable one and many people are interested in learning about it. When we first started, our neighbor, Liz Tomey, was and still is an internet marketer. Who now has made a name for herself in the the internet marketing field and is branded as the Biz Model Guru. You can Google her and find her stuff. She has a lot of good information that you can use to show you all the ropes to virtually anything when it comes to internet marketing.

Another thing you might be interested in doing, if you don't know already, is going to Elance.com or Guru.com and sign up to be a freelancer. People come on there wanting articles, reports, and other content to be wrote and they pay you for it. My brother is an Assistant Editor at his college on the college newspaper (MTSU). He makes a lot of money on Guru.com and Elance.com and he loves it. If it weren't for them he'd be broke with all those college expenses.... lol. Just thought we'd give you some advice since you like writing articles.

Hope all this was some help to you!

To Your Success!

Best way to find a niche in my personal opinion is doing research within your passions. Example; I love pitbulls. Say I really love red nose pitbulls. Now I research to see what kind of information is available for "red nose pitbulls". What kind of products are there in the market place? Is there a manual on "how to care for red nose pitbulls"? Is there a blog dedicated for red nose pitbulls?

Also do some keyword research with google's sandbox. Google will give you a very good idea about what search terms people are using to find information. You will also learn what kind of competition you will have.

The beautiful thing is that you can always find a "niche" within a "niche". Example; "Yoga" is a niche. "Yoga for pregnant women" is another niche. "Yoga for busy mothers" is another niche.. And so on!

Hope this helps!

I have to agree with Joel. Eben Pagan (well known successful online entrepreneur) said that there are only 3 markets worth pursuing if you want to earn a living from it. Health, Wealth and Relationships. Find your niche in one of those areas.

GREAT question! SO many niches warrant attention...I started with one that is a trend, the other, I discovered while watching a video on another totally unrelated product; which developed into my current (not yet released) product.

Choosing your niche depends primarily on two things. It’s either you’ll choose it according to your interest or the highest paying niche today. But if you’ll ask me, I’ll choose the one within my interest so I’ll not get tired of working on it.

Choose a niche that:

• that you won't tire of working on, hour after hour, day after day
• that at a certain point you can say it's finished and move on to the next without the urge to constantly tweak it - when it works, proclaim it done
