Does a niche about diabetic diet worth it?

Hey Salim,

First off welcome to the Warrior Forums, hope you enjoy you stay

The best tip is to just get started. Start by getting a domain, hosting and install wordpress on it.

For skilled writers you could look through the WF or sites like freelancer.com (They own the WF you know )

Once you have that setup, add some blog articles related to your niche, start a Facebook page and add a avatar + cover photo. Then, share your articles on that page and post that page in some related groups. This should get you started

Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Aron

I'd pick a different niche if I were you. Unless you're qualified in the subject, or have a personal story to relate, publishing medical advice is fraught with potential problems - both legal and ethical.

Yes, it certainly is worth it.

I don't know about you but in my country Singapore according to the Health Ministry statistics, out of every 10 people, 7 will suffer from diabetes.

There are a few ways you can go about getting content.

1. Google Research

This is where I get started when working on health niche.

I look for articles, blogs and forums I can related to.

Then I compiled all the necessary info to form articles the way I want them to be structured.

But if you find these to be time consuming, you can outsource this to someone else.

Like Elance or iWriter.

2. Youtube Research

There are literally millions of videos talking about diabetes.

You can compile a list of those whom you find most helpful and can relate to.

Before creating your own content and videos as well.

Youtube is one of the fastest ways to get traffic and best of all, it is free!

I know a guy who makes $75K in high ticket offers using just this method alone.

3. Facebook Groups

You can also look for and participate in groups that are talking about diabetes and other related health issues.

Don't think of making money first by asking members to click your link as they will see you as spamming and likely to ban you from future participation.

Instead learn to provide value by posting relevant helpful info first. Then once you got people to like you, then you may consider forming your own group, add those people as friends and invite them to join yours.

4. Offline

If you are free, you can head down to the nearest bookstore or library for books that are related to diabetes.

You can also join networking groups of people talking about diabetes and other health related issues.

One site I know is doing this is Meetup. It works like Facebook but people there are either intending to join or form their own groups related to their common problem or passion.

Hope these helps!

Hey there!


You want to take action so that's good!


If your just starting out why not try amazon affiliate marketing physical products

You should always pick a niche that you are personally interested in. Those are the best kinds, and you will find that you put much more effort into your marketing if you select a niche that you are knowledgeable about, or at the very least, interested in.

Admire your enthusiasm to get started and this is just my opinion, not to discourage you but to give you a sort of reality check and what to think about before wasting time.
1. You are going to hire a writer for articles on a topic you know nothing about.
2. You're going to find groups and forums, then offer helpful advice. Really?
3. You're starting a site on diabetic diets? Yet the reality is diabetics often have one or more underlying conditions, have different dietary needs, come in all shapes, sizes, genders and ages.

My take on the above:
1. How will you know the articles are valuable content or just copy and pasted rubbish?
2. Most of the sites diabetics find reliable are written by nutritionists and for good reason. Do you know a nutritionist who works with diabetics?
3. This can go bad quickly. If refunds and complaints don't bother you, having your site shut down should.

I've given you a hint in this response to get your site ranking as an "authority" site. It's not about hiring someone to write articles that you can't tell make sense or not.

BTW, every person who is initially diagnosed with diabetes is given a nutritional packet, diet and a nutritionist to get them started. What are you going to tell them that is different?

Salim,
You have been offered a variety of things to consider.
I work as a writer and My main specialty is diabetes.

I do claim to be an expert in the subject for 2 reasons:

1. I have had type 2 diabetes for 11 years (diagnosed).
2. I started writing 7 years ago and I still retain my first client who is a nurse and diabetes educator. I have written over 1300 articles and 2 eBooks on diabetes and health in general (because diabetes can affect every part of your body). She's happy with my work or she would have stopped paying me long ago.

If you don't know anything about diabetes except a few basics, you really do need somebody like me to assist you. Please ask if you have questions.

I'm a diagnosed Type II diabetic.

I started my own little blog about it and it's not really to make money with.

It's more of a journal where I can document my diet, discuss different opinions on diabetes meds and treatment, and basically talk about how it has affected my life in general.

I'm big into controlling my diabetes with diet and exercise alone, and not pharmaceuticals. I write a lot about how I am able to manage my blood sugar without the use of oral medications or insulin.

Let me just say that while this is a HUGE niche, the competition is fierce. Unless you are a pro at SEO or you hire one to help you, you will have a very hard time getting anywhere near page 1 with just about any diabetes keyword that is worth ranking for.

I was able to build up a pretty nice following for my blog through the traffic that I get from my YouTube videos. I get a few people here and there from search engines, but that only amounts to about 2% of my traffic.

I am big on organic fruit and vegetable smoothies, and I also make videos discussing exercise routines, and general motivational stuff for people that have just been diagnosed. I also discuss a lot of about holistic medicine for those who are trying to control their diabetes with exercise and diet only.

At any rate, the reason why I'm telling you this is that I just want you to realize that the niche you are about to try and penetrate is VERY DIFFICULT.

Also, people in this niche are quite passionate, and can easily spot someone who is "faking it."

Now, I'm not saying the OP is a faker, but in all reality, I sincerely doubt that any diabetic or pre-diabetic will spend more than 10 seconds of their time reading "cookie cutter" type articles.

Also, and please don't take this personally - actual diabetics like myself don't really take too kindly to people who are basically just trying to use the disease to make a few bucks.

If you don't have the disease yourself, lots of people will question your motives and for the most part, they just won't have anything to do with you.

They will spend their time on sites that are run by actual diabetics, nutritionists, physicians, homeopathic practitioners, etc.

If you are not able to inject your personality and your own personal experiences into the site, then how do you think people will respond to your site? They will most likely just move on and find a site or forum where there are other diagnosed diabetics who can actually identify with what they are going through.

I wish you the best of luck as a fellow marketer, but my advice would be to leave the diabetes niche alone.

Unless you have tons of experience creating and running popular authority sites, you are going to find that success is going to be very difficult to attain.

Another headache you can have when you are running a website that dispenses medical advice when you are not in any way qualified to do so, are potential lawsuits if someone should decide to follow your advice and end up injuring themselves or in severe cases, even dying.

This is all just my opinion from what I've learned as a marketer over the past ten years, and also as a diabetic.

If I were you, I'd find an easier niche to get into. It's always best to get into niches where you have some knowledge beforehand and that you are at least semi-passionate about.

A niche with a niche.

I am a health niche blogger. I have studied diet and nutrition so know what I'm talking about. If you have no knowledge then steer clear.

Once you learn a subject and post decent updates to you will get links pretty quickly...I got a back link within 6 hrs of sharing my latest article today! Without knowledge and decent articles you will FAIL.

I agree with Frank.
Diabetes is a very serious medical condition and unless you are a doctor or qualified to give medical advice I would avoid that niche.
Why not try something in the healthy eating niche. That is a lot easier to learn about and has many sub niches to explore.

IM can be very lucrative but it won't happen overnight. Taking action is fantastic but you also have to manage your expectations.

I hope this helps. Good luck,
Brad

I was just thinking of putting some good articles, 6 to 10 about it and work on bringing traffic to the website, but i think you're right guys, i will just try to find another niche, but the problem i'm facing is i'm not good in any niche, just some info about tech, and the competition is hight, but its pros is i can learn quickly compared to healthy niches, last night i was searching about tablet stylus pens, and i said to myself why not working on this niche? i'm really confused and lost , i want to start but it's hard to pick a niche.

Google Keyword Planner is your friend - some simple keyword research will enable you to quickly identify if the niche is viable or not.

I don't see why it wouldn't be - but finding out if there's genuine search volume for related terms will confirm that for you.

That's going to be more far effective than guessing or asking other people to guess.

Best,

Nick

I agree with the others. If you're only doing this to make money, choose a niche where it's nothing to do with health. I know that, as a diabetic, I won't read info from people who have no clue. They need to either have diabetes or be a medical person.

Wow, 2 days ago huh?

I will tell you this much; you're on the right track.

In the 12 plus years I've been doing this I have discovered that there are probably 1,000s of different ways to make money online and new ways are created all of the time.

But there is a formula that seems to work pretty well:

1. Identify a niche market that has at least a few thousand searches per month and has medium to low competition
2. Make sure that there are a variety of products and services that can be sold on an affiliate basis for the niche market you are targeting
3. Buy a domain and hosting and install a relevant wordpress theme
4. Start writing articles that focus on certain subtopics within your niche. For example, a keyword phrase for diabetic diet would be "cheap diabetic recipes" or "fast diabetic meals" etc. If you don't know anything about your topic then you can easily hire a writer to do the job for you
5. Create a facebook and twitter account to promote your blog posts.
6. Refer site visitors to related products and services by placing suggestive links in your content and a few other links dispersed throughout your blog
7. Place an email capture form on your blog offering some kind of giveaway so that you can capture email addresses and make follow up contact
8. Periodically examine what keywords are getting you the most traffic and where your traffic is coming from. Then focus creating new content based on those keywords
9. Periodically review what affiliate programs are earning you money and which are not and focus on the ones that are actually performing

If you follow this basic strategy, you should be very successful at making money online!

As some have alluded to unless you have medical training on this Subject or are indeed a diabetic patient yourself, I would advice to look for other Niches to pursue.

Similar to Cancer Niche

- Robert Andrew

It's not only my perspective. Others here agree with me. Regardless of the niche you choose, you need to learn a lot about it. The health niche is one where it does require a deeper understanding or the words written are merely that, words. Journalists can write stories but they must do a LOT of fact checking to ensure they don't make mistakes.

I also agree with Laurence. I'm a type 2 diabetic and have been for almost 20 years.

Unless you have a lot of knowledge or experience in this topic I'd stay away. You'd have an extremely steep learning curve. Even if you hire a ghostwriter you're going to need to know if what they're writing is correct.

Being a diabetic is like a juggling act, long-term meds, short-term meds, diet, and exercise. Don't want your numbers to be too high or you're looking at blindness and amputation. But if they're too low you're heading for a coma and death. It is a frustrating disease as well as extremely expensive.

Rose

You hit the nail on the head, Rose. When it comes to health, leave it to the "experts."
I use quotation marks because the group includes medical personnel AND people who have diabetes themselves. Only another diabetic can truly appreciate the problems this insidious disease causes. I wish I could go back 30 years and live life differently. Then I wouldn't have diabetes and be blind in 1 eye. Nor would I suffer from chronic pain and a lot of other problems. I'm sure Rose would agree.

I work as a writer/editor/proofreader to pay medical bills as my pension isn't sufficient. Sadly, this year has been my lowest earning year and the bills have been the highest. That alone triggers my depression, another side effect of diabetes.

I am more than happy to be paid to ghostwrite articles about diabetes, which I am already doing for one client. The fact that I have written over 1300 articles on the topic gives you an idea of just how broad and invasive it really is.

I agree with what you're saying Anayb. I've done in-depth research and written on a multitude of topics.

But do you think a guy who just learned about IM two days ago and wants to hurry and set-up a webpage is going to have a rigid editorial standard? That's the part that concerns me.

Rose

I'm not sure what point you are making.

"Let him try"???

How about - give someone good advice based on your own experience - so that he doesn't make stupid newbie mistakes? How about - don't encourage someone to "do something" just to be doing it when you know it's not the best path for him to take?

The OP is asking if he should work in a niche he knows nothing about - the answer in this case is "no, he shouldn't". It's not about your experience (or anyone else's) with diabetes - it's about the OP's lack of knowledge about it.

The OP said:

...but just learned about IM two days ago. My advice is to take a few more days and do some research about choosing niches and getting started.

He wants to hire a 'skillful writer' - but does he know how to do that....what he will need to pay....how to protect himself from bad writers, etc?

While it's true that you need to get started to accomplish something - it's also true you need to know enough to know where to start. Taking action gets you nothing if you don't take the right action....

NO! i didn't learn IM in two days lol that's impossible but i just wanted to apply what I've learned, i thought to take action is the best way to learn more and gain experience , but to take action in something you don't know isn't the right choice though, so it's better to start with something i know, it's just complicated in the beginning it's hard to pick a niche.

Thank you guys for the help, i really appreciate it, Warrior forum is awesome i never expected to get all this help lol.

I don't understand why you are arguing with everyone else's opinion in this thread... there is nothing good about "failing the most" and that does not guarantee you will be winner in the end.

People were responding the OP's questions - and you have chosen to argue with many of the responses. Your opinion is...your opinion.

As for the second quote above - it makes no sense unless you are simply bashing everyone else here.

...right.

As you don't have any info about diabetic diet and want to find a skillful writer to write some articles about the topic, You can promote affiliate products of diabetic diet niche.

This will probably end well.

Because my work is done for the day and I feel like it...good enough? I don't like it when someone takes over a thread just to argue with what everyone else has posted.

Your opinion is just as valid as anyone else's - and no more valid than anyone else's.

Before elance became upwork, you could hire all types of certified professionals...dietitians, nutritionists, doctors, etc... to write articles. Which I suspect you still can???

Some of them will have access to information that others don't. Such as scientific, medical, clinical trail info, etc...

This is who I would want to write articles for me, if I was going to get into the niche. That way the info in the articles could be backed up by citations.

The downside is it will cost more.

Diabetes is a major health epidemic, starting a website with valuable and factual diabetic diets would be a great idea. Make sure to do your research.

If the plan calls for in-house stress Benchtop Stability Test Chambers, then the manufacturer must purchase or rent the required test equipment needed to simulate the stress environment.

I just finished writing a sales letter in this niche. According
to my research there are almost 40 million diabetics in America
and of that 9 million are diagnosed...basically - just like weight
loss - there will always be money in the Diabetic diet niche.

[LIST=1][*]about solution of diabeties
Diabetes is not a very difficult disease I have a very good solution for this type of diseases something difficult and there difficult to solve potato disease is not so difficult I have solution for this. Type 2 digits is started in 40 to 45 feet I am from Uttarakhand India and in Uttarakhand 1 types of medicine ayurvedic medicine kill mode ki jad is very useful for this

I think the thing that really helps you when the times get hard is to be involved in a niche that you are passionate about. If you don't know much about diabetes you may want to look at something you love or know more about. There are tons of niches that you can make good money in. You should pick something you are passionate about or it will feel like a chore.
That being said, I would recommend using legal warnings if you continue with diabetes info. You can probably get articles at fivver or freelancer. You may also want to look for PLR products on the subject. These are articles you own the rights to modify and customize. I do not suggest that you buy it and send it out as is, but rather make it your own product. Hope it helps

Sometime ago, I tryed this niche and with much efford I achieved some 60 organic visitorz per day (I made a blog, set up autoresponder, Youtube chanel, FB, Twiiter, Backlinks, Unique content, etc).... Even so I just made about $75 on little more than 2 years. I'm really not sure if this is a good niche, but what I noticed is you need big amounts of traffic.

One of my friends did almost the same, but instead of focus on just one blog he made tons of them (some backlinks and some 6-10 post each).... 2/10 blogs got very good spots on google (some of them got 1th place on very competitive niches) He tryed with diabetes, muscle building, weight loss... etc...

What I think it's about the numbers. Nobody actually knows well how does google algorith work but it seems that it's worth taking the risk of making many blogs. At the end hi was making about $50-$300 per day with Clickbank in a matter of some months.

With that in mind, I tryed to make free blogs just for testing it. I dont have many content yet but I build 10 blogs on blogger on the ED niche and a couple of weeks later got my first organic visitor, with a very long tail keyword, but that's the result.

I hope this info can help you.

Natter has a very good point or a few really. Multiple streams of income makes the most sense. That way all your "eggs" are not in one basket. If you have a family of related products, (like weight loss, beauty tips etc..) you can link blogs or post banner ads for your other sites instead of using adsense and taking a cut. It also makes sense to connect all of this with social media marketing so the funnel is fueled. It is worthwhile to get as many exposures as you can to a person in order for them to like and trust you. (I have heard 7 is the magic number). Always acting with integrity helps too

The physical products only get you small percentages (less than 10). You need to have a high ticket item and a lot of demand to make money this way. I would suggest a digital product. You can check out clickbank and sort by gravity (sales). Or there is warrior forum plus, or jvzoo. You can find some amazing products that you can sell over and over again and get higher commisions (50+). There are some sites that are 100% commission, feel free to Private message me about those,

Highly recommended to promote a niche you are familiar with to be able to answer the questions of your customers.

Select a marketplace that pay you %50 percent commission for each product you promote.

Globaloffers is right. Knowledge will help you. If you do not know much about an area, you need to pick another area or spend a ton of time learning every bit of information about it. You need to be an expert if you can or at least very knowledgeable.

The diabetes niche is a tough niche to crack and a lot of miss information out there.... you are quite literally messing with other peoples lives.

That's a pretty big niche with many products to promote and a wide audience. So yes, in my opinion it's worth it.

And the best way to learn internet marketing is to practice it. So the sooner you start, the better. Good luck with it.
