Best Niche Ever = The One You Know the Most About

10 replies
The ONE common feature I find among my favorite blogs and websites is that the creator is really knowledgeable and passionate about the subject being promoted on it. It seems everyday, IMers suggest that you go into Google Keyword Planner and find the niche with the most searches or is underserved by blogs and make a killing creating a website, writing some (usually mediocre articles) and promoting affiliate products or ads on it. Well, I've tried that and it hardly works unless you can get your self totally interested in the niche (or else you're gonna give up after writing 20 1000+ word articles on the subject and have run out of ideas while getting only 300 visitors a day.)

So in other words, if you've been a trucker for a decade, then try the trucking niche. If you have a PhD in Chemistry, then Chemistry is your niche. If you're a Lawyer by day and an Anime otaku for many years in your free time, you can go with either the Law or the Anime niche.

Forget discovering what niche other people are following. Go with the one you're most passionate and knowledgeable about.

    Good point. Just being one step ahead of the audience and having value to offer them is huge. And if there's a niche you *really* want to get into anyway, you need to grab yourself some expertise in the field.

    Yep true. But there is a segment of people who do make a killing at niches that they learn about as they go.

    But good to have some expertise from the gitgo as well as Passion

    you're halfway there...

    do what you know best, yes!

    now find the niche in that..

    example:
    anime itself is not a niche but robot-type anime is (a la gundam)..

    but yea, listening to Pat Flynn's podcast Ive learned that people can make livings off of ANY-NICHE

    all the best,

    Absolutely right Robert, you can learn as you go and you don't need to be an expert from the get-go but you have to be able to add value in your chosen niche (whatever that is).

    Passion does not always coincide with what makes sense commercially, especially if your passion is underwater basket weaving. Heed those words dear readers!

      This is so true!

      A friend of mine is a big hardcore bodybuilding fan--and he has been training for over twenty years.

      He has the knowledge and drive for the hardcore bodybuilding niche, BUT, he found that it just did not sell for him.

      Better, he said, to go into the more cover-model look fitness niche.

      My point being , loving your niche is great--just don't get too invested in one aspect of it that you refuse to look at other areas--in that same niche--because this can make all the difference

      Hope this helps

    Totally agree with DeanJames.

    It's a balancing act. The most ideal situation would be a niche you're passionate about. But, carefully consider what kind of income potential that niche has.

    Also, are you interested in making a few extra bucks a month or retiring to Tahiti? That makes a difference too. Some niches wouldn't be very profitable, others moderately so, and others gold minds.

    The question then becomes, "what do you want out of it?"

    It always helps to be passionate about the niche you are going to promote or at least have some interest in it. Even if you don't know much about it you can still work wit someone who does.

    In some niches, you will not find a product to promote and you won't find new customers. Just because you are passionate about a subject, does not mean that you will make money off of it.

    I don't know how many times I have seen someone offering a free report on marketing asking for advice on how to market it.

    This situation might be okay at the start but when it comes to content what are you going to say? It's not only passion, but knowledge too.

    Sometimes, if you have passion about a subject (even if it is new to you) you can gain knowledge quickly.

    Everyone is a student and everyone is a teacher. If you are one step ahead of your target audience you can make money.

    Hopefully your interests can align with the profitability of a niche. Then you have a winner.
