Hi guys,
This is the 2nd try for me in the affilate market. my first website didnt do so well.
Since i am infront of computers all day(line of work) with a lot of spair time on my hands, it seems like a waste not to try.
My question is regarding the niche... now i know that choosing it is the most importent step.
What do u guys say about a website that tackles the question - "how to download videos"?
It has a good amount of searches with low competition and one could write a lot about the subject.
Is it a good niche?

Thanks

    How are you going to monetize it? What are the income source and business model you have in mind? Are there products in the niche that you can promote, that will match the traffic demographics?

    (My instinctive reaction is that "how to download videos" isn't "difficult enough" to interest people much, and especially to keep traffic returning? I may be wrong).

    Hi,
    There are a lot of diffrent methods of downloading\watching videos online, many products as well.
    With that being said i am starting to have second thoughts in the matter....

    As usual I think Lexy's advice is spot on. To add my two cents I think that you may need to do some additional research to identify the specific problem you are seeking to solve. I think there are good niches with motivated buyers related to downloading videos. For instance there are several people who travel overseas and can't watch their favorite sports match or tv show, and there are legitimate services that can help. Have you thought about this approach and how you may be able to assist, possibly through a review of existing services/options.

    It definitely comes down to how you're going to monetize the site, like the others have said. "How to download videos" doesn't seem have any commercial intent... meaning it's not a "buying keyword".

    That doesn't mean you can't create the tutorial of a lifetime, give it away for free on your site, and monetize with AdSense, affiliate offers, or CPA.

      Personally, I would suggest you might not focus on monetization methods like Adsense.

      I would go more towards Affiliate Marketing with emphasis on Email Marketing.

    No, that is not a good niche.

    I now wonder what you first failed at? The "How to reboot Windows" niche?

    If you are going to market "information" in other words, that stuff available for free from Google and your local library, then you need to really make it worth coming to you instead of going to Google or the Library.

    The information should also be valuable enough that people will pay for instant access to save time searching Google.

    "How to download videos" is not specialized enough and not the kind of thing people would pay money to learn.

    Your best offer is to provide a solution to a problem. People have it and will think should i buy it or not. For instance if i have a back pain and you have the solutionfor it i would click on the buy button much faster then in a hobbie or a funny site. People want solution fortheir problems , normally the Health niche its o e to investment on.

    When you say a 'good amount of searches', just how many are you talking about? Another point is how that others here (or randomly browsing the forum as a guest) are likely to have checked on the desirability of this keyword search term. So you could have way more competition now by posting it online if there's anything to it.
