alien niche $?

Iv'e seen some aliens niche before selling ebooks!

Hey...this is something interesting...i never thought about that...

Aliens and flying saucers fall under the Paranormal market and there's lots of hungry buyers there. That means there's lots of competition. What can you bring that they haven't seen?

it seems like alien ect fans are similar to ron paul fans, hungry (like travlin guy said) and hard core/die hard types

It certainly is a huge niche, it would be a good idea to hang around in related forums and browse paranormal type sites to see what kind of products are being sold/ what questions people have etc.
A related niche is the 'Conspiracy Theory' niche, which could be tied in very nicely in a 'what the powers that be are trying to keep from you' kind of way.
These niches tend to attract a lot of, shall we say, strange people, but there are also a lot of folks with more than a passing interest who would be interested in quality information.

If you like it would be very probably monetize that site, recommending books, toys.

But only if you like that niche, if it's only speculation then not

If you could create something really different than the other billion alien-related items...

Go for Ancient Aliens maybe?

I never thought about monetizing that niche but I suppose somebody with a creative mind could make decent income from that niche

aliens and conspiracy are huge niches, you can monetize them offering Books, toys, dvd's, rubber masks, foil paper helmets, "welcome back" light signs, "I told you so" t-shirts...

Wow, an alien niche. That's a very interesting topic to write about. Let me make a research on the appropriate titles for that e-book/report.

$$ would be nice, but they've always paid me in that radioactive, metallic, blue currency.

yea aliens, zombies and the paranormal are hot right now. when you do your niche, make sure you target a couple of keywords that will get you the traffic and won't be to competitive.

I'm having a hard time seeing where the money is at here. Sure its a niche that has a nice following but I doubt they're looking to buy a whole lot. I think you'd have a hard time competing with all the free info that's widely available on the internet.

Focus on the Annunaki.

Hi howit
This is one niche that I have never given much thought about>
But I am sure if you look at the broad scope from "little green men" to "conspiracy theories" and even to movies... I am sure there are hundreds if not thousands of products out there..food for thought definitely.

There's a lot of potential in stuff like aliens, paranormal, conspiracies etc. You could call it evergreen in that there's always a fresh crop of youngters growing up as "consumers" of this type of info. I could think of a few ways of monetizing this - bearing in mind that you'll have highly targeted traffic on your site. Also to bear in mind that a large proportion of visitors will be youngish adults with not a lot to spend. So...

- Advertising: Adsense would work (but check policies). Amazon too - e.g. X-Files DVD box-sets, a whole bunch of X-Box and PS3 games, books galore. Set up your own astore or wishlist with your products.

- If you have real meaty content, membership to view premium content with teasers for public viewers.

- Publish a compilation of stories, pics, videos - e.g. have a forum and then create an anthology of real life alien encounters (haha).

- If your site takes off and has a trendy logo, then CafePress like some of the bigger sites have done like abovetopsecret.com.

Lots of potential - I'd focus on traffic and advertising first personally.

Good luck,
Dee

any niche can be profitable, it depends on how you approach it and attack it.

If this has got something, then I would love to find one. Also when Its get popular then all the aliens would be very happy

Watch out for the news and updates from NASA, use that news to get a PR out and get free traffic to sell some ebook

Lol I have no experience in the alien niche. It seems to me like the followers of it are pretty passionate though. I'm sure you could find something to sell. Maybe a membership site or some sort of statue and medallion type stuff similar to the gift sets that you can get with Halo games. Not sure if that makes sense but they like nice unique items

hh you're really creative. I never thought of this.

One of my main niches is ghost hunting. However, people keep asking me about aliens, like I should know about all areas of paranormal research. (The truth: It's like asking your piano teacher to teach you the violin, instead.)

About a year and a half ago, I wrote a book about UFOs. I chose one very narrow sub-niche. It was partly for fun, and partly as a personal challenge, to see if I could do it.

I collected all kinds of wild information. After I wrote the book, I deliberately went back and added typos, so it looked more like something out of "Conspiracy Theory" (movie).

The book sold about a dozen copies. Big yawn.

Then, I turned it into a Kindle book. With nothing to lose, I featured it as a free download for four days.

It's currently selling about half as many Kindle books, daily, as my best-selling Content Curation Handbook.

I'll never admit that the UFO-related book is mine. Not a chance.

However, it's doing well enough that I'm currently working on two sequels.

Tip #1: Choose an X-Files episode. Then, research that particular kind of alien or paranormal entity. Question-and-answer books are pretty easy, and you can collect information from forums.

Tip #2: There are all kinds of great graphics and photos available from NASA, and many of them are like public domain illustrations, because they're funded by American tax dollars. Check the actual rights first, of course, but... well, you can get some great illustrations for your book, free, and you might find a really spectacular, free, cover graphic.

The UFO field is all speculation, anyway, but if you provide a book that's truly useful... well, it can sell. I've been absolutely astonished by the success of my first, whimsical venture into this niche.

few years back .i was thinking on doing something on this niche. but something else came up and i totally forgot

Ive never marketed into the Alien niche but i can tel you ive heard it is out of this world
