  Yes, I have to agree. If you can focus on a health niche then you have a good chance of making some money, But something I have not been seeing is targeted marketing to the aging population.
  
  Let us not forget that about half of the US population is over 50. Can you find products that target this crowd? They you may have a real winner. Also, the seniors are coming online these days at a staggering rate. What are we missing?

  Try travel and web hosting keywords. Start with long tail keywords then advance later as soon you see positive results.

Weight loss and dating have a lot of competitions. And these competitions are people like PPC experts or SEO experts. Unless if you're also an expert, don't expect to win the competition.

My suggestion, pick a niche that you like that doesn't have a lot of competitions, avoid dating, weight loss and internet marketing, for now, when you're more expert, you can move to those niches.

I think this is sound advice, they are definitely ultra, crazy-competitive niches to get into. I would definitely not recommend these to a newbie. However, there is a way to compete in these kind of markets if you're willing to put in the time to do some forensic research.

I remember when a well-known marketer advised me to stay away from the dating niche because he had failed at it. So what I did was begin promoting dating affiliate programs like David D's DYD ebook, Match.com, a few other infoproducts. I used PPC and articles. After a couple of months I was able to make a few dollars.

That's when I decided I could compete with the big boys. The key to being able to compete in these tough niches is that you have analyze the competition. Find out what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong.

I bid on keywords that they were not bidding on; keywords that made me 1 or 2 sales a month, not a lot, but I found enough of them to make me some decent cash. Then I noticed none of the top guys in the dating niche were using press releases. So I began using them, submitting one press release every 2 to 4 weeks.

I was able to land a couple of radio interviews and a spot on a reality show because of those press releases. That gave me the exposure I needed to get traffic going to my website.

You can compete in competitive niches with the caveat that you have to do your research before you do. One great way to do this is by promoting affiliate products to see if you can make money at it. If you break even, then right there you know you can hire an expert to create your product for you and then you can keep more of the profits.

My advice would be to promote a niche that you know a lot about. I wouldn't recommend promoting something you don't know much about.
1. Know about the niche in extensive detail.
2. Be willing to buy the product or service yourself.

If you wouldn't buy it, no one else will.

I promote bodybuilding products, but only because I'm a bodybuilder and know a lot about it. I don't promote relationships or new age stuff because 1. I'm not interested in it. 2. I don't know enough about it. 3. I wouldn't buy anything related to those niches.
You see?
hope this helps.

The three mega niches are health, wealth and relationships. Within each of these, you can sub-niche. Example of a sub-niche for health would be weight loss, for wealth - making money online and for relationships - dating. Eben Pagan says to think of niches as needs, problems that people have and are desperately looking for solutions.

yes, if you see competitions and lots of it, it means that is where you need to start.

We are in several niches but our best ones are

Relationships

economy

Finances

Health / wellness.

That are very good and you should start there. As the US economy gets worse people will be starting to thinks more about their money and where they should invest. So that is another good one we are involved with.

They are almost all profitable if you promote them right. Just pick anything that interests you and find some key words in that niche that you can rank for, without working your tail off for six months or a year. And get to work.

You can get a good idea if a niche is profitable by doing a Google search for those key words. If ther are more than one or two ads on the results page, then they are more than likely profitable. If the competition number is really high, then you are going to have a job to rank for it.

Also, if you use Google Keyword Tool to research key words, the CPC can give an indication of how much people are paying to advertising. Many people say to stay with words that list for at least $1 or $2 and more are the best to go with. It is a personal decision though.

Thanks

So, is he to get to work, or not work his tail off?

In my opinion, you need to pick your "niche" very carefully, and avoid overwhelming competition. Once you find a potential product/service to promote, you will need to find keywords that you can compete with. If you cannot compete for any relevant keywords I would advise that you move on to something else. You will then need to "work your tail off" if you expect to get results. With no pain, expect no gain. IM is not a walk in the park by any means, but those that work at it day in and day out usually reap the rewards.

What is a Niche Market? Find Low Competition Markets and Low Competition Keywords

{{ DiscussionBoard.errors[4624380].message }}

vMartin 13 years ago

Lottery is in the "gambling" niche and that certainly isn't the easiest niche to start with. And because of the overcrowded internet gambling world it won't be easy getting good backlinks, plus most known backlink services don't do well with gambling websites due to most "backlink sources" not allowing them on.

Picking a niche should depend on your experience.. For example; Wealth, and Health niches are filled with competition and will take a lot of time or money to see results.

Yes, they are very profitable but so are less competitive niches.

Remember when people said "I wish I was there at the start of the internet". A new and less competitive niche is almost like that.

You will get the experience of SEO, Optimizing your website for better conversions and overall see what works and what doesn't.

Build experience and make money faster.

I made 5 figures with the unlock wii niche.

Columbus did not discover America, because someone told him exactly where it was.

I've done a lot of niche sites in the big categories like health and wealth but have also had success in other areas with things of personal interest. I actually enjoy the latter more because I don't mind writing about my hobbies and interests on a regular basis. The less it feels like a job especially in the beginning when you're not earning anything the easier things will be.

I think the most profitable niche to start with is the niche you are most knowledgeable about.
How can you expect to create something of value if you dont know anything about it.
However if you have the money you can hire an expert.

Check out the War Room there are a few profitable niche lists there that are solid. It's important to not just think about the niche but how you can go about driving and getting traffic (keywords/search engine traffic, media buys/ppc).

I don't really buy into the idea of crowded niches - if you really are passionate about the particular niche (ex - I love writing about weight loss, fitness, body building etc.) then you can get into it regardless of competition.

Look where people are buying ads on Google, Bing, Yahoo, Facebook, etc. What topics are hot over at Ezine Articles, Idea Marketers, etc.?

Follow the money and you'll find profitable niches. This is probably one of those topics that people definitely over complicate.

This is solid advice. I've never bought into the idea of niches being too crowded or saturated. One of my mentors taught me years ago that in order to compete in any market you simply had to do it better than one of the competitors who is already making money.

The reality is if you have the marketing fundamentals down pat, know how to increase conversions, and know how to utilize different distribution channels, than you can compete in virtually any market.

As far as my knowledge is concern, I would strongly suggest that if you are still beginning, do not go directly to saturated niches, well, it is true that when there is great competition, there is always REAL money. But would it be great to target people who are really searching for that particular offer you are into?, and actually earn REAL PROFITS from them before going to saturated niches which is obvious that to fight competition, you have to embrace automation. Yes, I am talking about investments, it cost money to earn money right? so that's it.

I hope this helps.

To earn money through advertising revenue on a niche blog, you need not stick to a particular niche all you have to do is build trust. Place advertisements on your blog from the very beginning. Take the time to build traffic and community. Once the community is lively and on the go and traffic that has a pattern you can have faith and confidence on your blog will be earning in no time!

Yeah, people don't usually like to do links for lottery/gambling, adult stuff and so on. A lot of article directories won't even accept content from such sites. When it comes to profitable niches, there's a saying that goes, "Where there's a magazine, there's a niche." There are tons of them out there. It's important not to only choose a niche that's profitable but one that you like as well. Here are some examples:

dating/relationships

weight loss/fitness

learn guitar

learn Spanish

gardening

cooking

sports

fashion

pet industry

make money....

One big hint that a niche is profitable is that there are a lot of different products to promote. Once you find a niche that's profitable and one you like, it's important that you get the proper training so that you can make the most of it. I recommend Unstoppable Affiliate by Andrew Hansen and Josh Stanton. You learn everything you need to know to make money with niche sites. It also comes with an optional 8-week coaching program that you can choose to take part in if you like--no lies, gimmicks, or crappy fake software.

Good luck,
Joey

Health and relationship are always on the top list. As you can observed the changes on how people are now concern of their health since the age of those who have hypertension are now getting younger and younger. In addition, there are these issues of unwanted fats and obesity and how these people could can still regain their healthy lifestyle without actually sacrificing something in their daily activity.
And the other is about relationships, and as you can also observe, people nowadays are more conscious of their relationships and how to make it stronger and have a better relationship with their partner in life. They would like to fix their marriage or relationship before they would end up separate lives or filing their divorce to their partner. And especially, for the sake to save the family, they would do something to really save it from separating from one another.

Depends on what you want to do within the niche...

If you just want to get sites ranked and earn affiliate sales or adsense clicks, then any niche will do! Get a solid keyword research tool like Niche Finder, plug in some keyword ideas, find out which keywords you think you can rank well for within a reasonable amount of time. You've got your niche.

If you want to go deeper though and create products, definitely stick with the big niches and find a sub-niche within. If there are a lot of products already selling in the niche and people are already making money, jump in and get your piece.

Competition can be your friend as well. You could create complementary products that tie in with other products, and then you've got affiliate and JV opportunities there too.

Bottom line, find out what you want to get into a niche for, then find out what problems are nagging that niche and solve that problem.

Lots of good advice and examples here.
Just for what's it worth, Eben Pagan - a highly respected marketer, recently published a series of videos on niche selection as a prelude to one of his master coaching classes.

He emphatically makes this point: The biggest mistake you can make is to PICK a niche or just SELECT a niche. The correct way, he says, is to FIND a niche with hungry buyers. This involves doing research in order to find out what people want or need and then go through the hoops of market, competition and keyword research. He even gave away his list of recommended sub-niches which include a few of the ones listed above.

Well, every niche can sell if you find the core of people problem.

But, if you are newbie, maybe you should start with something familiar. And when you earn some money and learn basic, then move to more competitive niches.
