I need YOUR help to pick a niche.

13 replies
Here's the deal. I have a few attractive model type women working with me. My plan is to launch a blog / website which will feature them. On this blog, we will have recorded youtube videos, blog posts and live webinars where fans can interact and chat with them.

I will be generating traffic and promoting my blog on the known social channels such facebook, twitter, youtube, etc.

My only problem and challenge is figuring out what the niche or topic should be for this website. Whatever niche I use the models will be providing the content in the form of the live webinars and recorded videos, so the theme must be a topic that any of the models can contribute to easily without requiring hours or months of experience or insight. Also, I want to try to work with a niche or topic that has a large enough audience.

I want to make it a theme / niche that any of the models can be comfortable with on the site, and also where alot of "niche" knowledge isn't required to contribute.

For example, lets say my niche was "world of warcraft". This is a HUGE niche with plenty of dedicated fans, however my models don't know anything about this game because they don't play it, thus they wouldn't be able to contribute relevant content, and the viewers would catch on to this quickly.

I thought about current events, and celebrity gossip, but not sure if that would be a good topic.

Whatever niche / topic I decide to discuss in the blog, I plan on giving away prizes such as gift certificates, etc to some of the viewers. I was also thinking about making the topic some sort of interactive game viewers can play with the model.

Any feedback is GREATLY appreciated.

So again the million dollar question is:
What niche or topic or theme can I use to represent my blog, but will also be flexible enough for my models to contribute and produce content without having to spend hours and months to be an expert at?

    How about a dating advice blog for men?

    Why do the models need to produce the content? I guess I'll leave that for another time ....

    My advice is to do a niche in which YOU are comfortable with. I guess no matter what niche you decide on you will be able to use your models for videos, etc. So I say pick a topic that you or they can talk about, and also one that you understand a lot about and is also profitable.

    Hope this helps!

    They don't need to know anything about anything. If you give them a script and tell them to smile for the camera, you should be able to operate in many different niches.

    I was listening to an interview recently and the guys were talking about how you could use attractive girls on video squeeze pages to speak to the WoW crowd. Most WoW players are young(ish) guys, so a squeeze page like that could really do well.

    You ever been to IGN.com? It's an entertainment site, so there's a video games section as well. You could easily do videos like they do, and nobody needs to know anything about anything - all you need is a good script and a little acting skills.

    Another niche you could try is sports. Dating was already mentioned, that's a good one too.

    Are you planning on using the attractive women to your advantage in promoting your business? If so, go for the dating niche. It's profitable and they could give dating advice to men.

      Do your research and use the models for the videos. Give them a script/articles to read.

      Choose a niche that would do well with models in the videos. Not just an adult site, but anything that has a large percentage of red-blooded males as the customer base. (Don't choose a knitting site, for example. )

    Personally I think you should steer clear of the dating and adult niches.

    You could promote almost any type of site using a blog and your models. Even one about simple definitions of words. Don't believe me? Look at this:

    YouTube - hotforwords's Channel

    One of the most watched channels on YouTube.

    People promote Cars, Beer, Liquor, Motorcycles, and almost anything you can think of using sex appeal...

    Choose what you love and ponder the ideas.

    What about make-up or make-up tutorials (beauty products). You could even get into selling that stuff.

    Or accessories...rings, bracelets, etc. Start your own little QVC on Ustream, LOL.

    Something simple the girls might enjoy talking about.

    Be careful, I hear "fashion" (clothes) is a tough niche to monetize. No experience, just heard.

    I would go the seduction and pua route.

    Most men are susceptible to good-looking women, and men who are actively searching for ways to improve their abysmal social skills are even more susceptible.

    Go to Barnes & Nobles. Check out the magazine section... these are niche markets proven to attract people who shell out money.
