Is anyone in "Depression" Niche?

Depression is a great topic and can get a very large audience to your site. If you can find the "Problem" and than find a good way to show the audience how to fix it. Than you will go far with this niche. The goal is to fix their problems and provide information such as "causes of depression" or "reasons for Depression"

Point your audience toward the right way to go if they are having problems handling depression. Become their life support, or the thing that keeps them from serious effects of depression. If your blogging create a post saying stuff about great ways to relax and reduce the stress that they are involved in.

Try to motivate and inspire your audience with your writing. Get them to give you feed back on what helps them get through the day. If they comment they might be saving someones life for others to see. Get them to communicate with the articles you are writing and relate to the posts.

If you experienced what they are feeling tell them what you are going through and how you are fixing it. Create a journal saying what works for you and what youre going to try to reduce the pain of depression. Let this Blog make you feel better and the readers feel better. Always create a positive spin to your tone and the way you are communicating to your readers.

If you motivate, Inspire, and create a positive atmosphere you are sure to get a large amount of people in that niche to keep coming back to your website/blog.

Good luck with it!

If you have valuable information to share and you really looking for the best of the people here then i think you should go for it.
As said before there are things things that you can advertise, as help books.
People in this kind of situation often look for understanding, not necessarily help. So you need to be very gentle with advertising here, any one who had something to do with depression might often tend to think that no one has an answer for their problem and any slight mention of making money of their problems, will scare them away.

I started a blog about depression, then hired a writer who was an expert... unfortunately she didn't get much done, being depressed and all.. then killer herself. Oh well.

Depression is a great niche if you can provide value. But I am not in that niche dear.

I think it's a great niche cuz there's plenty of people suffering from it im sure.

Not really depression niche exclusively, but we do have some depression products, and things like positive thinking, be happy, love yourself, self belief etc.

It is a viable niche and there are people out there looking for advice, products, and help for sure. It is a touchy subject though and I do believe you have to be responsible and do things right - look after people before chasing the $ as such..

It's a big market, but I steer clear of it because of the types of people it attracts. People looking to cure depression are the way they are for a reason and a lot of them don't use what they buy. The personal growth niche is a lot more lucrative and a LOT more rewarding.

As another Warrior had mentioned about the anxiety niche, perhaps the better route is to promote solutions for the side problems that come with depression, anxiety, etc. Relationship issues, stress relief, financial management, exercise and nutrition, etc.

I'm a professional in mental health and I haven't found a single "affiliate" ebook product aimed directly at at disorder that I'm comfortable with. I'd consider promoting well-known books by professionals at this point, but that's about it.

That's an interesting niche actually but it will also demand a lot of work esp. providing high quality information in order to monetize it. Just polish your platform, who knows you can have the best site ever. That would be very helpful.

You could create a localized site that is centered around where to get help for depression. Although, that could be a big project compared to just writing about depression and guiding those who have friends and family who have depression and how to help them.

The stress and anxiety niche is a big one and is something that everyone goes through at some point in time. Just like with any other niche, you have to get to know the people in the niche. Learn about common stressors and triggers that motivate them in buy. Forums are a great place to start. Most importantly, add value and contribute to the conversations. Helping people is good.

Good luck,
Joey

With 10 million searches I would probably try to narrow down the keyword, maybe manic depression or something like that.

ptsd would be a great one, with all the gulf war vets and everything.
