can you suggest a niche in one of these industries

15 replies
hey all
I have worked a bit with a home page about marketing resources, now I have some doubts whether it's what I have to work with.
I am newly started with all this marketing and i would like to be successful, of course ...
I think of what niche I should choose.
Do you have a suggestion?
industries with crafts, construction, mechanics, navigation and iron would be preferable as this is something I have little sense of.

      Your first assignment.

      Research yourself, make a list, then come back and ask our opinion.

      This type of question is asked here all the time for different things and in different ways. But, it is the same. "Please do all the work for me"

      I don't want to sound harsh, but, people need to start doing something on their own first before asking questions.

    The best niche you should build a business in, is the one you have the most passion for.

    Don't just chase after money. If you do, you'll always be "chasing"

    For example, back in 2001, I dropped out of college and took a dive into Affiliate Marketing.

    For several years, I woke up everyday looking for new offers to promote.

    Sure, it made a ton of money, but it got exhausting to the point where I didn't enjoy it.

    Along the way, I developed a monster skillset of marketing knowledge.

    I then took that knowledge and used it to promote my own products.

    Apps for iOS.

    Health Supplements.

    Products on Amazon.

    And some other things.

    All of which... was still... just me chasing money and getting exhausted.

    Then, I took some time to reflect on my passion and what I love most.

    Helping people succeed.

    Fast forward to today, and I'm the happiest guy in the world.

    So take some time and reflect on what you love most, and start there.

    Good Luck!

      If you don't have the knowledge to post about your own experiences with marketing on your blog, then probably any of those other topics would be fine.

      if you are looking for a way to make money with your site, then any of those topics might work for you depending on hat products are available to sell to others or depending on what kind of product you could create that might be helpful to others.

    If you are going to be creating regular content, it has to be on something that you actually have at least somewhat of a PASSION for.

    If you don't you will eventually get tried of doing it and quit it...just to be honest.

    It happened to me when I first started out.

    If you are currently a student of marketing....why not just create content on what you learn every day?

    You don't have to be an expert to create blog posts and content that answers questions and solves problem.

    You leverage other experts until you become one yourself.

    Start creating content every single day and syndicating it and getting it in front of people, and just start tweaking every single day as you learn.

    "ready, fire, aim"

    get started and correct course as you go.

      Its funny that you suggested that thing."why not just create content on what you learn every day? " I was thinking about that this morning, that i could make i honerest newbie site.
      There is a lot of questions about that topic.

    You've listed some good contenders.

    Assuming you like all of the niches listed and know something about them, consider:

    1. Is there a market? Do keyword research and check interest volume in Facebook. Check Google trends. Look for other websites on the topic (their existence is a good sign).

    2. Think about what kind of content you want to produce and whether the niche works with that. Will it be articles, images, videos or everything? Do you have a preference such as writing?

    3. Research monetization options. Are there Amazon products? Digital products? Products with in-house affiliate programs. Is Adsense viable (if you want to go this route).

    4. How will you get traffic? SEO, article marketing, social media, buy traffic? See what competitors are doing? Do they have active social media pages or is social media not a viable option? If go the buying traffic route, you'll need a good monetization model in place.

    5. Think about how you'll build a list? What incentives could you use to attract subscribers? What would your email newsletter contain?

    On this note, do the same for social media - how will you get video views, Facebook fans, Pinterest followers? Will you use ads or go organic?

    Will you use social media to drive traffic or will you focus on SEO to attract website visitors and then get them to follow you. Or will you do both?

      I been trying to make some test pages, just to learn about it. I think that i am doing to much of every thing, and to little on the best thing, but i am trying to find the best thing. (bad explanation, i know how it sounds in danish).

      I think that i could for exsample make a list of some product( dont know which) and then having pictures of the product, with my affiliate number.
      Is this the totally wrong way.?

    Use your insider knowledge to make something USEFUL.

    Those guys at Empire Flippers built a site about calculating cement quantities or something. But it didn't actually have a calculator on it, all it had was rubbish like "if you are building something you need to calculate how much cement you are going to need..."

    Don't be lazy, research niches for yourself.

    Stop just reading a lot and apply even the smallest thing you learn about. Otherwise, you will be stuck with lots and lots of useful information you never got to apply and which seems useless. Also, if you learn about a method you cannot seem to apply, ask around and see what you are doing wrong, and if it still does not work, it is not the method for you, Move on.
    Further more, no market, be it online or offline, is done without research. OK. You are in the direction of the construction domain. Very well. There is some competition out there, but not much. If you do the proper research and provide your visitors with good, solid, applicable information, you will become indispensable to them.
    I cannot tell you which niche to go into because it depends on too many things. I could suggest writing about roofing because I happen to know that you can write A LOT about it, but what if this does not apply to what you are trying to do. I hope you understand why we cannot give you more to the point suggestions on this.
    Best of luck with your endeavors!
