For Beginners: The niche you will always make money with.

Your recommendation is one of the evergreen alternative choices in the open-ended debate about "what's the best niche to choose" or "how do I choose a good niche," etc.

You do make a compelling argument though with your own experiences in which you had success. I'm sure it's hard for people to set aside any or all considerations for making money as you suggested. On the other hand, working in an area (niche) for which one has a real passion will tend to reduce or eliminate the feeling of "working." And that's an attractive benefit.

My passion is making Money and participating in the Process of building a full time business to support my Family ... hence that is why I am in the MMO Niche


- Robert Andrew

I hope this turns out to be true for my niche -- but if nothing else, I'm certainly having fun!

Nice write up and thankfully I am going the right way.Having fun with what you do brings success quite easily then what you are forced to.

It is always nice to be earning and learning in a field you love...

What if the niche you like is already over crowded.
I like programming specially c programming and I like to write algorithm for different problems and coding on c.

But there are already a huge number of site avouit c programming which are running from more than 10 years.
Now what happens if I open blog on same niche where will I exist.Will I make profit?

I agree. I've heard of so many bloggers that write about what they are passionate about being very successful!

@justanotherowl

I think c is used to develop computer software.
I am interested in it. For borrowing the topic there should be a lot of content of it.
I am just a basic learner and want to learn more and write more too.But this will be great challenge for me in front of other site.
I don't know much application of c but I can write algorithms if required for any problem.

c is used in shell scripting.
In parallel programming
in lexer and parser compiler design
In can be used to write algorithm for any problem such as first 1000 prime number,sorting,palindrome,searching,binary to decimal,link list,priority problem,queing the task.
etc

This is a great success story. I would add that the two niches were well chosen because they are sub-categories of two much larger high volume niches, namely, pets and automotive performance products. Both are in themselves large niches in which economic activity and interest abounds.

One must always take care not to choose too narrow of an area to focus upon. If there is simply not significant public interest in any given business niche, all the passion on the world will not bring success.

On the other hand, some internet marketers are successful who claim to have no passionate interests outside of making money. They are successful because the very act of making money in internet marketing is itself for them their passion.

No matter what area of business one chooses, a passion for its success is a requirement, while the lack of enthusiasm and passion leads ultimately to failure.

I agree with you. Knowing your passion and making money out of it is ideal. But sometimes it can be just opposite. You find a niche, through the process you learn it, become passionate about it and start making money. Both ways are possible.

well, I disagree with you if the niche is overcrowded that doesn't mean that I cannot make money in that niche I do that all the time

When you love what you do, you do it better, you're happier, and make more money!

That's the big question you're addressing here.... What niche to go into.

What a great story to pass onto all of us.

what I learn from this, is this..... Just pick a niche, and attempt to do your best in it.

If nothing happens, move on to another one.

thanks for your encouragement

No, no it can't.

Very few people can profit from their "passion." Very few.

Go where the money is...

People who don't like their work, will fail. And it works for everyone and everything.
But very often just having a great passion and work for it isn't enough. It also requires a lot of time, money and efforts. And a lot of people don't understand it. Sometimes you can start hating the things you love before (cats. for example) just because the luck isn't on your side. And then another great idea comes up in your mind and you start again.

I totally agree. My love is also in Making Money and feels more pleasure when someone starts making money with my methods. I feel I have achieved. My aim is to be that helping hand which I never got when I started online marketing. That time it was too difficult for me.

I think the best niche to be involved with these days is anything to do with advertising and driving traffic.

Think about it. Everyone needs to advertise whether the economy is good and people have money, or if the economy is bad and people have no money. The fact remains people will always need to promote and increase their promotional reach.

A good write up and to the point info for beginners. This way they can make sure that they are not spending money on promotion.

I think starting with something you have a genuine interest in is good advice.


Somebody gave me that advice when I first started. And I knew it was good advice.


But I got side tracked and ignored it. It probably cost me over three years of struggling before I was able to get back on track.

Lacking of knowledge, Without Patience and Proper guide newbies must fail.

Nice info here, it can be helpful for people with lack of direction who don't know what to do.

When I started learning about internet marketing, I didn't take this approach. I tried a few niches, failed, and after enough failures, I gave up. I didn't think that I could make the money I wanted to make doing what I loved... at least online that is. I was able to find a full time job doing what I loved (DJing), so I quit my "real job" to focus on my passion.

I picked the niche that I am in (Djing) because of a lot of the reasons you are talking about.

It's my passion, I've been doing it for years, and I believe that I can help people in the niche with the experience I've gained.

The thing is, I would still be doing what I am doing without the internet. Sure I might not be posting weekly blog posts, but I would still be spending most of my day DJing and promoting myself as a DJ. It is my day job after all. I'm just looking to take it to the next level, and not be tied to a particular gig if I don't want to be.

The other niche that I am hoping to get into is very similar. It's something that I love doing, and I'd be doing it whether or not I could make money in it or not.

If I could go back and tell myself anything as a beginner, it would be to follow the advice of your post. My real world and online career would have been very different.

It's a good motivative advice. And it's greate that you turned your passion in something with what you can earn money.
There is one thing that happens with almost every StartUp - people give up too easy. Yes, you can love what you do, be passioned by it but gave after the first thing that goes wrong.
Of course for everyone who asks theirselves "How to earn money?" The best answer would be - "With something that you really like to do".

There is a niche that will always be evergreen and that is the make money online niche.

As long as their are new babies born each day, when they get to be 18-25, they will look for a home based business online.

Picking what you love to talk about all day is a great start for success.

Along with this, you must also find problems within that topic that you can solve for other people.

They'll tell you what these are, so it isn't difficult to find them.

I made a nice picture about this:

Couldn't agree more!

Success follows passion. I think where some people get tripped up is that they confuse desperation with passion. Sometimes we're excited about the income potential and that wears off quickly once the "work" begins. It can be fuel to get you started but it won't carry you for the long haul.

Kudos on your continued success!

Yes! Great little write up

I'm also having the same problems. i have adsense verified account but don't know how i can learn

great post and so true! I didn't go down that route, but now I am comfortable online my next few projects are going to based on my passions in life..

That's refreshing to hear. Most people from a young age have it drilled into their heads that work isn't supposed to be fun and that's why most people get stuck in jobs they can't stand. It's like this is what we were led to believe, so this is all their is. Great thread.

allegandro great post! I always say, if you can be happy in life living only by yourself, then everything else after than only help to enhance your pleasure. It doesn't matter if it's:

1) New spouse

2) Successful internet business

3) Kids

etc.

Yeah... you will always make money with that niche. Get your happiness in life else, and all the great things that people explore and do will only enhance your quality of life.

there is money in every niche but not as much as the one where the money is

I watched an interview with Mark Ling from affilorama. He was asked about niches he was into and if he had a passion for the niche. He kind of laughed and said his passion was in profit. And if a niche was profitable then he could become passionate enough to learn about the niche. (I paraphrased the answer but you get the point) While it might be fun and a good way to learn the mechanics of putting a website together, then go with it. but do research for finding a profitable niche.

Do you think that all those people that have sites about Acne are passionate about acne and talk about it to friends and family at the dinner table? How about irritable bowel syndrome, talk about passion. Next time you meet a hot woman at a party, why not tell her about your passion for genital warts, I bet that passion is a turn-on

al

fellow warriors, i am impressed by all your contributions to every newbies.

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.

Confucius

Well here is another way to look at this topic. You can start a niche in a very crowded competitive niche but if you know how to rank with long tail keyword and be #1 on Google you will make money. It's given that your site looks professional and you do answer the burning question whatever it is that the people find you on that chosen keyword.

nice nice nice

This subject gets debated quite a bit. From my perspective, having the passion for your niche is not a bad thing, but it's NOT required. I found this out the hard way.

When I started out, this was the advice I got too. Find your passion, etc. Build a business around it and so on. The problem was for me - I really don't have any "passion" in any niche. Oh, I have a LOT of interests and hobbies - but nothing I could ever call the kind of passion I would try to build a business around.

And I know I'm not the only one who falls into this category.

What I eventually learned was that for me, the building of the business and the profits became my passion. Not a passion for money per se - but the MAKING of the money and finding ways to increase the profits.

Now I am building a new SAAS site which, the site itself is not the passion. But the process. I am increasingly excited every time I get updates from my programming team. I am chomping at the bit to work with my copy writer to shape the message. And I look forward to the launch.

What I like about this is, that a niche I can get tired of. Or like what did happen to me when I HAD a niche based site that made money - I felt chained to it and eventually lost interest in not only the site, but the subject itself. You see, not ALL niches or marketers can create that "passion" site where you only need to work on it 2 hours per year. In fact, that is down right next to impossible for most people. So I won't push people on that anymore.

But when your passion lies in the building of the business, then you can literally do this in ANY niche. Let's face it - I can know absolutely nothing about a subject. If in my research I see potential for profit, I can either learn about the subject or hire someone to fill in all the blanks for me.

Like I said, your passion is great. You are indeed one of the lucky ones. But for most, this can turn in to a big let down. It did for me. But I found my passion and my strength and now it pays in spades.

The key for anyone trying to make money on line is to really know yourself and your own strengths and weaknesses. You also need to know the fundamental difference between building and running an on line business and simply making money on line.

My best advice? Connections. Finding a good partner (or partners) where you compliment each other - you each bring something to the table that the other(s) don't have. Because contrary to the "hype" making money in your underwear is the exception (for very few) - not the rule.

Hey - if I can do it, anyone can. Just keep learning and trying.

If online business were only that easy there is no reason we all wouldn't be millionaires!

What you're not taking into account is the fact that many, many people are not cut out to be successful business owners regardless of the niche they choose. They don't have the skill, the temperament, the drive, the persistence, or the discipline to be profitable business owners.

What you're saying is that passion for the niche is the only factor required for online business success. (Read your statement above again)

It's simply not true and it's misleading to state that passion alone will overcome all your other deficiencies. I agree that using your passion as a way to get started is one good approach. There are many others. But business success is never guaranteed or automatic as you make it sound.

Steve

I like your advice stick with your passion and you will make money.I just need to work out what my passion is then set up a blog and write about it! I have a few ideads thanksfor the advice.

You have to start somewhere. Especially with the noise level of people pushing different things on you. Everyone shouts "my way!". The only way is what you have an interest in and believe in.. It could be fun or whatever else moves you.

My passion is bog snorkeling... do you think that would work?


OK,only kidding but it does raise a question, Not everyone has a passion or skill that is marketable so those guys and gals have to start somewhere and where better than a sub - sub - niche in a big market?

I want to agree with the original premise... I really do. But I really don't think there is necessarily profit in your passion. Agreed, it will allow you to work harder, but there still needs to be buyers.

Hey allegandro, just came across your original post from 2014 - great read.

You pretty much nailed and this kind of approach has been discussed in many books, courses, seminars, etc. It's a perfect foundation for a start, but as Steve mentioned above, your passion is only one of many things required to "succeed".

Also I like how you describe success difference from a person to person - it's definitely varied. Not all of us want to be millionaires, but possibly just extra $1-2k/month is all what some people want.

Mike awesome reply too. It's very common that you meet people who literally have no idea what to do...No passion, no interests, no skills. I guess at the end of the day, if you want something REALLY bad and you're willing to put in it everything you've got, then it's just a matter of time of when your day will come.

hello, it's all true
if you do not have passion for what you do, you will never get good results

"The niche you have is the one thing you really like in life. The thing you care about. Your passion, your hobby, the fun factor in life."

I'm hardly belief on THIS.

Bang on the money allegandro!

Besides, even if somebody did make a lot of money in a niche that wasn't their passion, that wouldn't make them happy and fulfilled long-term...

We need more passion-driven internet entrepreneurs who are more focused on doing what they enjoy than making a quick buck!

Christian

I agree with allengandro... the first blog i built was the most successful in ranking in Google without much êffort..

And it was because i had a passion for that niche .

I have been hearing this "follow your passion and the money will follow you" for damn too long but no one cared to explain with case studies but you did it and now I believe the stories.

Thanks

What if i don't have any passion or hobby? Should i QUIT IM?

I found Youtube marketing to be both free AND fun...turns out it also became profitable when I began to promote Affiliate offers...starting in the dog niche with small breeds that are hard to potty train. Back when Squidoo sites were easy to rank, I began to write articles there, and then when those sites lost traction I turned to video. Some of the my first videos were U-G-L-Y, but it was pure volume meeting 1 problem = 1 solution - hard to train dog breeds (I had owned some Yorkies so I knew from first-hand experience).

Yes, it is much harder to get up in the morning and work on something that resembles office WORK, unless you just LOVE it and would do it for free - that's why I honed in on Youtube marketing as my first real traffic source....it just doesn't get any better than that in my opinion. Great thread!

Twitter, YouTube and Social Media - you will always make the most money, the easiest in this niche, if you know what you are doing.

With Twitter and YouTube you will get tons of visitors, and the traffic from these two is the easiest to monetize

Most people don't like the concept of work!

Even building a blog about what you love requires work.

I love working, its therapeutic.

However, if money were no object, I damn sure would rather be fishing, boating, or traveling.

Unfortunately, doing these things takes money, so while I profess to love working, and find it therapeutic in the sense I am earning income...

I often wonder would I consider working therapeutic if I never needed money again?

I sincerely doubt it!

All in all, if we want things, most of us gotta work to acquire what we feel is acceptible....but, most accept far less than they are truly worth.

Edit: Added note, despite my strange erge to make a joke about it, I sincerely doubt marketing hemorrhoid products was/is the passionate pursuit to exploit @$$holes with problems, but rather a passion for for helping others solve there problems... As that can be a passion we all should pursue online & off.

Ultimately, I believe we all possess a passion for helping people, and yet in the real world 'if' you extend a hand, you'll often lose a finger.

In short, people need to realize that the only way to truly earn success is a delicate balance of knowing what others need, want, and/or desire, and providing those solutions. If you help enough people get what they truly desire, you; yourself will increase your ability to get what you need, want, and desire most...and oddly enough...

I find a genuine act of sincerity & gratitude gets far more mileage than money!

So recognition, meaning, and purpose can actually outweigh ones passion, especially, if enough people appreciate your efforts, and understand your purpose goes beyond money!

I have a passion for helping people lose weight ... wish me luck on this niche.

Interesting post thanks! Guess I get to figure out some good ways to make money with Volleyball!

I absolutely agree with the OP. You can not persist with a niche you are not in love with. In that case you need to outsource your writing. But again if you do not know the topic inside out, how can you get a quality content. So go for the niche that fascinates you inside.

Great write up! Most beginners often give up because they lack the knowledge of what to expect, so when things don't go as planned they give up thinking they've failed at it when all they experienced is a bump on the road to success.

GREAT INFORMATION, THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH US!

What you said makes sense. I found selling software and videos tutorials were very lucrative models online,. If you have a passion for something it becomes a lot easier to provide value which people will pay for.

When you love what you do, you do it better, very few people can profit from their "passion."

Consider it. Everybody needs to publicize whether the economy is great and individuals have cash, or if the economy is terrible and individuals have no cash. The actuality remains individuals will dependably need to advance and expand their limited time reach.

You make a convincing contention however with your own particular encounters in which you had achievement. I'm certain it's hard for individuals to set aside any or all contemplations for profiting as you recommended. Then again, working in a zone (corner) for which one has a genuine energy will have a tendency to diminish or dispose of the sentiment "working." And that is an alluring advantage.

I think you will never go wrong re-selling advertising services. People will ALWAYS need to market and promote no matter what the current state of the economy is. If the market is bad, people will need to advertise to make more money. If the economy is good, people will have money to be able to advertise more to make even MORE money lol.

It's kinda like investing in alcohol. If peoples spirits are high, they buy booze. If their spirits are low, they'll still buy booze. Advertising and alcohol are somewhat silimar in that regards. Both being recession proof and always in demand.

Very nice tip man. Many people (me included) fail because they start doing things that they don't like, and when you are doing something you really like the people notice it.

It is all about passion. Pick a niche that you are passionate about and you will succeed.

I like your idea of building a site around something that you love. However, if you love something that is really competitive such as video games, then it can be quite difficult to make a living. I think it is better to go into a niche without a lot of competition and learn to love it.

I agree with johnrichardjack. Get the low hanging fruit that is easier to grab. I would rather spend time on something I will get results with financially than something I love that is high competition and won't pan out any money. I can always learn to love that low hanging fruit with that cash it brings in.

Nothing beats doing what you love doing. Legally.

Thanks for sharing. Great post.

Joe.

i think if you want be successful , you must choose direct and un-direct keywords for MARKETING .

for example , if you want make marketing for Forex , The Direct keyword is Forex and the un-direct keyword is Property trade , because 80% of people like forex always like Property trade .


anyway each AFF MARKETING have each style , and you can make unique Style if you working Every Day .

Cheers!

Just as the adage "Do what you love, the money will follow" says, this is golden advice.

I love cats as well and just started on my first cat blog.

Thanks for this!

Three niche can be promoted lifetime:

1. Health
2. Wealth
3. Relationship


Thanks

Thank you for some good advice, makes goodsense

I have always felt excited to write about the things that empowered me in life, because I just KNEW that it would empower others as well... Honestly when I created my first product I didnt even realize it would make money.... I figured 400 bucks or something.... Man was that ever wrong.

I wholeheartedly agree with OP... I know some write about generic things they have no hands on knowledge of but for me, I just cant do it. I feel like I would rather die than to just write dry dead words with no life in them, but I can write all day long about something I believe in and the passion comes across. Allen Says said a long time ago (and it really moved me) that whatever you feel when you are writing will absolutely come across. When you line up real excitement next to fabricated excitement, there is a noticeable difference in the way it feels.

That DOES effect the success of an article. At least in my experience. Others have told me that is not necessarily true, but it has been for me.

Ever since i took my love for sports and betting and turned it into a business i couldn't be happier!! Im just doing what I would be doing anyway, but being paid for it!

Forex and Binary Trading systems

You will always make money if you offer some time of advertising service/product/solution.

People love advertising when they have money, when they want evern more money.

People need to advertise when they have little to no money because they want more money.

Simple question. Simple answer.

go with the obvious here.

-- stock market [everyone is greedy]

-- health [who does not want to live longer and be healthier]

-- Relationship [people do not want breakups, and always want to be in love]

These niches [ever green] have always done well before I was born, and will do well long and after I am gone from this plain.

Hope this helps.

I would have to think it's at least possible to earn a decent income off just about anything if you can reach the right people who are looking to buy. That could be hard to do however so then you would default to advertising revenues which again could lend it's self to some problems because if nobody (or not enough) people are buying then who's going to want to advertise anyway?

I think the message behind the OP is an awesome one and probably is valid in the large majority of cases, but probably not all.

Granted I did get my start way back when in my own passion which was art. I was a graphic artist who did a lot of work on video games which then led me into developing video games myself and I later became an Indie Game Developer. I made a decent living at that until I got burnt out and jumped into advertising after a chance encounter with a business owner. That then lead me into MMO but I got burned out from that and got into publishing which is where I am at now... and you guessed it, I'm looking to get out of it (burn out) I get bored, what can I say
