    That's a tough question to answer. Think of it this way. There are only a few perennial products that people buy all of the time, good times and bad ... weight loss, skin care, acne care, hair growth, dating, etc. If you think about this way, you can figure out what products should sell. Your goal then is to niche it down even further to figure out which keywords will drive traffic ... decide on the right products to sell, etc. Does that make sense?

      One of the best teachers I have seen is Chris Farrell

    Too many people don't take the time to learn the fundamentals when first starting out.

    The very first thing I would study as a newbie would be keyword research; there is no skill more important to learn when starting.

      If you're looking for a niche, start with something you are passionate about. Check out Amazon and see if there are products / books selling well in that niche. From there do some keyword research to see what people are searching for and take action. Whatever you do, do something. Once you start and get a little momentum, it's easy to keep it up.

    If you are just starting out I think my op advice would be to go for a niche that focuses on something you love which has very little competition. The reason I am saying that is because at first you will be putting in A LOT of work with very little (if any) pay. The reason I say very low competition is because the chances of getting paid a little bit faster than say in the "weight loss" niche are a lot higher.

    When i first started out I picked a very low competition niche with only 2 books on amazon. But getting that first ebook sale 24 hours after I put the product online and getting ranked number 1 in google within days, with only a few articles written was a major motivator to keep going.

    Low competition + a niche you love = great place to start --- at least in my opinion.

      I agree with this completely.

      When I first started I built websites in niches that, to be honest, I had no real interest in. It was a chore, I didn't get paid and inevitably I failed.

      Now I'm about to release my first ebook in a niche I'm passionate about. I've already tested the waters and had 40 sales and positive reviews of the ebook and am very excited for what the future holds for this little project of mine.

      Sure, it may not make me millions. But it doesn't feel like work and what I'm learning during this project will definitely help me further down the road in my budding IM career.

      This is where I'd beg to differ. Working on a niche that focuses on something you love does not work on all newbies. In my case, the things I love have very low competition but don't make money for me. So, I had to go for niches that felt like a chore to work on. I knew nothing about them, so I was forced to do research. And then I did the SEO thingies. And I eventually got to google's first pages.

      Working on something you love may be convenient and fun, but if it's making money you're after, then just make that (making money) your sole motivation.

    Check out your local bookstands!!

    If you can find at least 5 different brands of magazines in the similar niche, then you can be sure that that's an in-demand niche.

    P.S.
    Don't rush into it.. Always pick a niche you have some knowledge in and better yet, pick one that you have a passion in.

    Cheers!
