is the relationship niche still alive

Yes it is. It will never die as long as male and females are exist. I've been seeing one guy is still advertising with his offer which is relationship. Its never too late, Go and start promoting.

Good luck

yeah, it's still profitable. a lot of the products that come out in the niche are geared towards women, though. the niche could use more products for men.

Alive and kicking my friend.

I think you're in good shape. There aren't many relationship blogs targeted towards the male audience. Make sure you hop on social media and start connecting with your audience. With your niche, its easy to share snippets of advice and really hook the reader and bring them back to your site.

Thank goodness: alive and well and always will be.

Cheers - Tom

Yes it is. People are starting relationships and ending relationships everyday. But the niche is not the problem. The real question you should be asking is, "how can I become a better marketer so that I can sell anything to starving niches?"

Thank you all for your excellent insite

Get into the dating niche. That niche will never die.

get affiliate programs with eharmony and cupid and christiianmingle and/or adultfriendfinder and etc

Affiliate marketers give people what they want. And many people want a relationship but don`t have the skills or time to start one.

Yes, I think this is one of those niches that will always be around in some shape or form

Not only is it still profitable, but it's one of the top niches to be in: Health, Wealth, and Relationships!

Men marrying men?

That might be a good place to start as heterosexual marriage will soon be outlawed.

No it's dead. People are starting to care less and less about making babies and care less and less about being in relationships.

We do not live for that stuff anymore. There are more important things in Life

That's a very broad topic filled with a lot of established competition.

I would suggest you drill down deep and create a niche in some corner of the market where you have verified online buying demand.

People care about specifics these days . . . their own specific issues, problems, and desires. You need to find out what those specifics are and address those needs.

No one is going to care about generalities because they can find those things online very easily.

Good luck to you,

Steve

I pointed my 9 year old mature dating niche domain name to a white label about 6 months ago

I had 37 signups
currently have 19 live members
0 converted to paying members
------------------------------

Total earnings: $0

I have no idea what to do with it
I dont know who all these people are making all this money. I havent made a dime.

Both the relationship and dating markets (not niches) are alive and well. And many of the niches underneath their umbrella can also be very profitable.

Most people who enter these markets don't make squat because they don't know how to survey their potential customers, they don't know how to get traffic, they don't how to convert that traffic, and they don't understand branding and positioning.

As long as there are people who need advice on how to GET a relationship, how to MAINTAIN a relationship, etc. there's always money to be made in that market. The same things goes with the dating market.

I know one super affiliate who wrote an excellent book on relationships and then he signed up as an affiliate to well over a dozen other programs. He buys traffic, builds a list, built a relationship with his list, and now markets his ebook and those dozen or so programs and he makes a nice six figure income.

It took over a grand to get started and it took him about 2 years to get to that six figure mark.

It can be done, you just have to know what you're doing.

Hi jfrombk.

I think relationship niche is still alive. Coz if you go to Clickbank marketplace and search for relationship info products, you'll find some products with high gravity. That definitely indicates that these products are selling good.

Thanks

I think this is one niche that will never die. They'll always be people that need relationship advice/help.

I think Steve B is correct..drill down to a specific niche...Personally, I like the men whom are in 2nd marriages with all those challenges...like blended families.

It's an evergreen niche... as long as humans exist, this niche is still going to kill it, online or offline.

People still engage in relationships so it's pretty much alive. Try to focus on a problem solution. Since this niche is very problematic for people.

Making a great authority site seems a good way to go for it. Dating sites in the other hand I think most of them are a scam with 95% just men around there.

It's alive indeed. I have a 1 year niche dating blog with 20 articles which give me a constant income eventhough I haven't posted a single article for the last 6 months. The secret is simple, target local market and a very specific vertical like asian dating in LA, gay dating in China etc. You will be able to getfast and stable ranking. This is my personal exprience!

To put things in perspective: the online dating industry alone (which is just one portion of the online relationships industry) generates $2.2 billion per year in the U.S.

Commonly expected growth rates are projected for $100 million a year, and I happen to believe true rates will be much higher, given the intense interest by governments and corporations (Facebook, for one) to get more people online.

High street retail is dying (and has been for years), mobile telephony is rapidly on the increase worldwide, and technology is increasingly offering new ways and improved ways to connect to the internet (widespread usage of eReaders, connected games consoles, popular games that either require connection or offer desirable DLCs, competitive pricing of smart phones, telecommuters, etc).

We are, in effect, a world that is connected.

Now when you couple that with the fact that humans are social animals, where the norm is for us all to seek out relationships of some form or another, you have an industry that not only will never dry up, but one represented by a perpetual pool of consumers, which at present has massive growth before it even begins to approach a plateau.

Can you tap into the money? To be honest, you're a bit late to the show, assuming you haven't already joined us. This is a decidedly advanced online industry and competition is rife and cut-throat.

Gone are the days when you could get in easy and make a killing. Back then, you could have made life-changing sums of money by merely soaking up traffic from Yahoo Groups.

What I'll say is this: If you're smart, hard-working, creative, willing to actually think and implement and not just buy some crapolla WSO and expect to receive a Push-Button system, and if you have some cash, you can get in on the ground floor and you have a chance of some real money.

I don't believe any online market is off-limits. I was actually only talking about competition in another thread. But certain markets are harder than others, of course. Relationships (or, to specify, online dating) would be one of those markets.

As long as people are getting married or looking for dates........this niche will be live. It'll only be dead when the world will doomed. So, in short, till doom day it's live and kicking.

Good luck

thats an evergreen niche

I heard at a recent training that relationship/dating is one of major niches out there!

Its Ever Green. Just watch out for Trends once in a while and be more specific.

yes this is still profitable. Your main focus should be on quality though as anything that is good quality and helps people out will always make money.

it is a major active niche these days

Definitely YES, people are hitting google to solve their various problems from simple house DIY, technical matters, relationships, money, business and how to improve their lives. Many couples nowadays need to work long hours to make ends meet and this usually the cause of troubles in a relationship and many more. Relationship niche is evergreen.

This niche still alive but you have to find the right source of traffic to make it profitable.
