INTERNET MARKETING

This is my first attempt at making money online. I am creating a niche site and becoming an affiliate with click bank. I plan on purchasing aweber and using a squeeze page to grow a list. I am also likely to use PPC advertising to drive traffic to my site.

Now about half of you have told me to choose a niche in ecommerce or fitness. I know there is more money here.

The other half have told me to pick something else. They say that there is way too much competition. Do I still need to worry about competition if I am using PPC?

I am doing this to make money. I am wondering which market you think would be best for a beginner to generate a steady income.

I am planning on writing 5ish articles a week for the website, if that matters.

Thanks!

I'm not sure I'd go about it that way.... if you aren't passionate about anything but "making money" you're going to have a hard time of it.

Is there some niche that interests you? Some niche you have some level of expertise in? Start there.

Thanks

Plus with sports I would need to write more articles, and I don't have the time at the moment.

  Shoot, just become an Amazon affiliate and promote their millions of sporting goods...you'll earn anywhere from 4% up to 10% depending on the volume that you sell.

The niche you choose

1. Should have good products, a wide variety of products, ones with good gravity.
2. One that you are at least semi-passionate about.

Drill into the top sites in Google Search around the sports you are interested in and find out how they are monetizing their sites.

For example, I typed in soccer and up came Soccer Blog|Football News, Reviews, Quizzes (I have nothing to do with this site - just using it as an example). There are a few affiliate programs they are using including Kitbag that pay between 4-10%

These top sites on google are getting serious traffic, you can bet they have tested different monetization methods and affiliate programs, you can typically find a few winners using this technique.

Clickbank is a tiny fraction of the overall affiliate marketplace...don't stop looking there.
