What are some computer niches?

12 years ago

Is it hardware of software. I have a friend who buys and sells mass amounts of computer supplies buy taking old computers, upgrades the software systems in the computer to make it faster and sells it for a lot of money. He makes about 5k out of it each month, but you may need a storage facility to do this.
Software is a different story and takes a lot of talent and education to make such a software that will attract a lot of buyer. Or you can find freelancers to make you a software that may cost a ton of money to make.
Last thing is to become an affiliate to computer hardware and software provider that already have a warehouse for the parts or rights to the software. All you need to do promote the stuff. I hope this helps and wish you much luck. I commend you looking for a business that you will truly appreciate.

Thanks

This is in no way a niche because I don't know anything about computers, but it could be something like - speed up your computer, etc.

Thanks

  Yes, of course. I would. Just the other day, I was looking for ways to clean up my C:\ drive, and I stumbled upon a great video that showed me how to use CCleaner and erase like 2 gb of worthless data, making more room. I was really content with the advice, and I would trust that person's product recommendations.
  
  I don't know if this actually fits the "speed up your PC" niche, but you could follow the same idea in the "speed up your PC" niche, and provide techniques that go very well with paid software (assuming there's an affiliate program available for that piece of software).
  
  And also, make sure you position yourself right in the market, or set yourself a part: speeding up your PC is good, but it's too general. You might want to try things like "how to prevent your PC's obsolescence by improving its speed" or
  <joke>"Insights and secrets on how to break through the invisible factory-enabled limitations so that your computer runs at lightning speed, secrets and insights that the PC industry doesn't want you to know! (and be sure to start your very first email with something like "You've been lied to...")

Yes, he's definitely right about that, in the long run.

You'll be much more inspired to make the site good, add quality content, research products, write autoresponder emails and all the stuff you have to do with a niche site, if it's "your subject".

Yes; I think you probably can make a "niche" out of that, and there'll be physical and digital products and services available for it. That might be good for you, Zack?

Thanks Alexa I was also wanting to try to maybe start an email list for this niche, but I don't really know if it would be worth trying. One thing I learned from the ebook he gave out was that having a good list is one powerful marketing technique. I guess what I could is try to find problems people are having with computers and provide them with quality content to help solve the problem.

Thanks

Yes, I hear you.

There are some niches where the nature of the desperation that makes them "desperate buyers" makes a list less worthwhile for the immediate sale (that would perhaps apply to for "virus removal", I think, much more than to "speed up your computer"?).

But in any case you should certainly try to build a list from that techg33k site, as well as promoting things on it. There are all sorts of other things you might be able to promote, in future, too ...

Thanks

How about targeting certain groups using long tail keywords. For instance, use terms like "computers for kids". This is a term that's targeted for parents with kids who maybe want to buy a pc that's most suitable for children.

According to google keyword tool, this term is medium competition with 49,500 global and 22,200 local searches per month. Not to mention, the holidays are fast approaching and these types of searches will probably increase heading into Christmas holiday.

"Computer help for the non-techie". A lot of computer information is written in a way that only people who are already tech savvy can understand it. I say this as a technically challenged person, of course. If you can provide resources that are clear and concise -- perhaps in text and with videos -- it could be helpful to many people.

I don't know if this exists for computers but I have a client in the very broad automobile help niche where you can get your questions answered by a pro, guaranteed. There is a small fee per question with free follow ups.

I do know that there are many remote control softwares available that make it possible to log into someones computer and have control over it. Not sure about portability, etc...

I guess it depends on how involved you want to get...

Good Luck!

There's a lot to this niche, but it will probably require more work to keep relevant, as new hardware and software is constantly being released. Upside of that is that there is no shortage of topics to write about!

If you are passionate about the topic, I think it is a good idea to pursue.

Various people say you should look for "Evergreen Niches". IE, topics that don't have to be constantly revised.

That said, there are plenty of people still using Windows XP! ;-) Some computer subjects can stay relevant for quite a while.

I sold a few registry cleaners off a 2.0 page about 2 years ago. The keyword was "make my computer run faster."

There are some pretty good CB products to solve the problem. I sold about 20 and never had a refund.

You can also answer questions on yahoo answers, stack overflow, experts exchange, and a myriad of sites. You may be able to drive some of that traffic back to your own site.

One of my buddies makes over 100K in a side business from leads he got from answering questions online.
He sets up SANs in his spare time. So it takes a bit of specialied knowledge. And a lot of late nights if you have a regular fulltime job.

Well, Yahoo Answers is great for general questions. But you might be able to get more valuable targeted leads from one of the more specialized ones. Stack Overflow is for programming questions. They have a new one for sysadmin type questions, but I forget what it is called.

Do you enjoy the niche you have selected? Like diy'all select niches that you enjoy the most?

Well brotha here is a list of niches and micro-niches related to computers that I would be interested in going into.

BIOS-repair
Repair laptop monitor(fix computer screen)
Clear computer errors
laptop cooling pads
laptop battery won't charge
computer keeps restarting
computer crashes, blue screen
computer overheats
computer lags
keyboard not working properly

OK what I just listed mostly deals with computer repairs so you an refer to these as actually micro-niches but if you can find a product or Adsense to place on your site for a particular micro-niche above then you would have a great opportunity to make money with your site since I can tell you these niches are not widely dominated.

best of luck

hope this helps

Lucian has great advice there.

It doesn't necessarily need to be about speeding up pc's, but if you can give people high quality instructional videos with an affiliate link to the product, it will always be more trustworthy than telling them just to buy it.

You don't have to look far to see people using this to great effect.

Of course you would need an informative site (maybe); not a review site filled with nothing but offers.

computers are a very large niche with 1000s of sub-niches , and i think the best way to go with is making tutorials of how to use softwares or how to fixe hardwares and if you know some tricks that you think are not known, it's going to be like a jackpot for you

the most important is to stay in digital products

cheers
