Is Precious Metals a good information niche?

I'm guessing this niche will gain more traction going forward as people look for other places to put their money as equity markets implode.

Volitility = interesting drama. Who doesn't need more drama in their life? :p

One thing you are probably aware of is that folks who follow this niche also enjoy following certain individuals (you named a few) and that's where the real traction comes into play. If you can break into the blogosphere inner circle surrounding this niche you'll find quite a hungry audience.

I'm not sure a single product will do well without a continued presence on the net (your blog). Folks like David Morgan seem more than happy to give interviews on peoples blogs, including video, and that kind of partnering can do wonders for your credibility.

If you have the ability to keep up with current events, such as the Silvercorp debacle, that kind of theatre works well with your audience. If you caught Jim Puplava's interview with Lorne Waldman the other day he seemed to lay to rest some of the questions regarding the accusations against Silvercorp only to have Alfred Little come out today with both barrels blazing with more accusations of "Substantially Inflated" earnings (thanks ZeroHedge) and this kind of theatre is entertaining if not distracting. (I mention this because that niche eats this stuff up.)

Bottom line...if you are knowledgble in the PM niche, that market is only going to grow. If you establish a web presence and have a good product you should do well. And as others have stated you'll want to stay away from investment advice and stick with the fundementals of how that market works. At least for the time being. That segment alone should be growing like wildfire going forward.
