Hot Niche That Crosses Over Well

Hey you just may be right on time for this biggie. Drill down. Thanks.

Thanks for the post Tiffany. Another great idea.

I would've never thought of that on my own actually. But, now that you mention it makes perfect sense

Great advice, Tiffany. Connecting the dots has never failed for me.
That and "follow the money" are my two mantras.

No matter how the economy's doing, people are still buying certain things, they are still searching for certain solutions. Help them do that and make money in the process. I can't think of a better win-win situation.

Hi Tiffany!

Thanks for the great tip. I know a lot of people suffer from depression and the current economic situation doesn't help. I almost feel bad profiting from peoples' trouble.

Thanks Tiff, I sold a PLR on depression, time to get it out as a book for people.

DIY stuff is pretty hot right now. TONS of products you could make in the DIY niche.

Tiffany, what business do you or any MARKETERS have about teaching how to solve DEPRESSION?

Seriously. If you give incorrect advice about this you can seriously damage someone's life beyond repair.

A person is better off figuring it out on their own than listening to bad advice which leads them down a harmful path.

Is that worth slapping together a $30 ebook?

Empathy isn't enough. There's a lot that goes into helping a depressed person.

Unless you're getting your information DIRECTLY (VERBALLY) from a psychiatrist, you have no right to teach this.

With so much economic damage expected to last months, maybe years, the economy and the fear of what is going to happen is causing much anxiety, depression and stress to many people. Two other keywords come to my mind during stressful times. Sleeplessness and panic attacks.

Thank Tiffany for helping us to connect the dots.

I have to disagree with your comments on this one. I have been writing and selling articles and ebooks about depression and making life better for a long time and I have had A LOT of great feedback on the material. I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on television but I have been down that road and I KNOW the subject matter.

Hi tiffany, thanks for pointing this out, i'm pretty new to the niche marketing but this definitely helped to answer some questions on my own!

Depression doesn't have to mean someone's standing on a ledge about to jump. Depression can be simple sadness because your relationship's in the dumps or you've lost your job and yes, I feel qualified to help people find ways to lighten their mood and change their mindset about life in that manner.

I would never advise on medical information and of course, if I wrote/sold an eBook on depression in general, I would certainly explain that if the thoughts turned suicidal or malicious in any way, then they should seek a professional doctor's advice.

But let me also say that they're not always best poised to help, either - not in smaller matters. A long time ago, when I was going through marriage issues, my husband and I went to a psychiatrist who specialized in marriage repair. We quit when our relationship worsened and she told us she knew what she was doing because she'd been married four times now.

LOL

Guess what? We banded together as husband and wife and worked things out on our own.

This is both interesting and dangerous because the same word means at least two completely different things.

Anyone can feel down and blue, especially if circumstances seem overwhelming. Compassionate listening and wise guidance can provide perspectives that bring comfort and guidance. I'm all for people who are able to provide this help sharing what they know with their fellow humans who refer to themselves as lightly depressed.

Some people experience a terrible, extremely devastating medical condition called depression. Therapists with years of experience, medical treatment including exceptionally powerful psychoactive drugs, and even electroshock therapy are not always effective at even providing enough hope to save some sufferers from suicide. People who don't really know what they're doing have no business being armchair doctors.

Look, if you're handy with a screwdriver, even a 99 cent one, I'd be happy to have you help me put a new light bulb in my car. But no way am I going to let someone without a shop and proper training try to rebuild my car's entire transmission. And the human spirit/body/mind/emotion interaction is far more complex than a gearbox!

Tiffany, your initial post seems to be about the first, everyday use of the term depression as referring to a mild, temporary, readily reversible emotional slump. And your most recent post seems to me - I'm sorry if I'm overreaching here, but I don't see how to read it otherwise - as a glib discounting of very serious, very intense, potentially deadly, hideous suffering that some people suffer in ways that no pep talk can touch.

If you do see the serious distinction, cool. If not, I really deeply hope that glib Internet Marketers won't use killer sales techniques to sell non-helpful products that could keep someone with a life-threatening disease from getting appropriate treatment.

Targeting new demographics that your products haven't been marketed to already is like playing 6 degrees of separation. This is almost always the game I have rolling about in my head when I'm looking at media buys.

You don't have to create your own product in this niche.
I think it's better to promote stress related products as an affiliate - if you are not an expert.

Thanks for the heads up Tiffany. Had a clickbank product in the depression/anxiety niche but didn't promote it much though we had it all setup and OTOs and all that.

Guess it's time to re-visit promotion for it. =)

Thanks Tiffany! I just started following your posts and you provide great ideas 100% of the time!

Thanks for the response, Tiffany, I really appreciate the clarification. Looks like your prospects are in good hands.

yeah that is a good topic of discussion....not only for women but for men too. Depression can kill. I have had a personal friend of mine take his life because of depression and sometimes the people around them are the last to know anything is wrong.

Very sad indeed!

Elaine, that's why I asked where she was coming from. It looks like your reply, my reply and hers crossed paths in the forum.
