Making Money In Forgotten Niches :)

Hello Warriors,

In about July I decided to take a few days off my primary niche at the time which happened to be Water Gas and start promoting guitar lessons. I set up a Blogger blog, and a Squidoo blog bookmarked it a few times, and wrote 6 ezine articles under a new pen name.

I happen to know a lot about guitar and learning guitar because I have been playing for about 15 years.

Anyways to cut to the chase these 6 articles have had over 1600 views and I have been selling about one a week for the past two months after not selling any prior to that. Pretty weird. It's nice getting paid out for the little things. I'll take it .

Everyone have a nice day.

    I know how it is.

    The little things can add up. Some of the little things are often even by total accident. LOL!

    I still have some old videos up on YouTube that seem to result in a couple of Clickbank sales every month. When I look back and see where they came from, sometimes I laugh because it's from something I did years ago.

    Looking into markets outside the typical IM market is something most marketers miss. I personally have never touched the IM market and don't plan to. All my money is made in different niches. The real money and longevity are in the niches that have serious problems, and are desperate for help...always.

      There is absolutely so much money to be made online in many many niches because everyone uses the internet. I have made most of my money in niches outside of the IM niche as well. It's tough to compete with all the people marketing to help people make money online because everyone knows how to do it and there is absolutely so much competition.

        Quite right.

        The whole spectrum is quite broad, only if one looks at it. What most marketers miss is looking outside IM niche.

        Well done!

    Hi....

    I love the fact that things "stay alive" for so long online. Blogs that I started a few years back are still there...and still receive traffic each day.

    It's awesome.

      I would say that you have hit the nail on the head.

      When I started out I went into the "make money" niche and did have some success, but there are so many othr niches that while not as big are definately as profitable!

    Nice to hear your success Jeffrey! Its often the most unexplored niches that tend to be the most popular that can provide the most targeted and profitable traffic and sales. Article marketing is always a great way to start and has helped me generate some great sales! Well done!

    Sounds like you are making a nice stream of income . I try to aim for finding those niches which are yet to be exploited and don't have much competition. The world is based on economics - if there is more demand than supply there is money to be made.
