Yes, porn, gambling or anything to do with cancer and other serious diseases that can only be handled by an MD. If I write about health anyway, I give facts, some little common sense advice, sometimes my opinion, but never the PROMISE of a cure or anything.

Gambling, not because I have moral issues about it but because I have no real interest in it and do no want to spend time and money on the matter even though, apparently it's very lucrative!

Porn, I avoid totally. Some do it much better than me! :

Honestly, not interested.

I used to shy away from anything thechnological but I once had to write for someone about some technological stuff and in the end, I quite like it! So, it can vary but the 3 ones above, I'll never do!

"make money online" niche

There are more opportunities out there and just think about it. If you know how to market, I mean you know the online tools you need and you have some marketing knowledge than you can earn a lot more if you target people, who are not so familiar the certain methods, which are used within the "make money online" niche. But that's just my opinion.

Yes, I avoid Forex/trading (which is a real nuisance for me, because it's probably the niche I know most about and could write about more easily than any other :p ) because I don't like the products/services available at all.

There are other niches I wouldn't touch, too, I'm sure, but I can't remember them now. Prescription drugs, for a start ... and others ...

LOL funny you should mention this, my mates and I are currently building a number of forex sites. Do you have any spare articles laying around that you can donate to the cause?

Anyways, I was originally in the adult niche, but left that behind for personal and professional reasons. Personally, because I knew that I would never find a good woman that would support me in what I'm doing, and also for religious reasons (I converted to LDS back in '09).

Professionally speaking, the industry was/is moving towards tube sites with adverts. In other words, it was getting harder (no pun intended) to monetise the sites that I had.

I wonder about Lsd ...still around ? i use it in '67 but never made a religion ...
actually i think better not to be in niche to just cheat peoples, better something that you can live with ...but this is personal.

My father's been a professional forex trader since before I was born, and still is. I'm a member of Trade2Win and have made maybe 5-10 posts there (probably mostly facetious/sarcastic one-line ripostes to people who imagine that "backfitted systems" which have made profits over the last 6 months are likely to over the next 6 months :rolleyes: ). I do about 15-20 trades per month, all intraday. I trade by technical analysis only, but without "indicators" which I believe to be totally delusional nonsense. I said a bit more here: http://www.warriorforum.com/off-topi...ml#post6565670 . You?

LOL, no, sorry - I've never been in this niche as a marketer, so have never written one at all. I have 50 textbooks lying around, but they're not so easy to send!

u trade intraday? my question then is how do you find all that time to post here everyday and still have the concentration to actively monitor your intra day trades as well as being a internet marketer? what you use for technicals, candles? fibs? stochs?

so how old are you?

7 years with bastions.......i now trade long term stocks.

LOL, I have one main "trading set-up" which either arises, or not, at exactly the same time every day, at which time it takes me about 20 seconds to enter a trade if there's one to enter. It closes itself automatically, on hitting either my target or my trailing stop-loss.

I know it looks like I'm here 10 hours per day, but normally it's 5-10 minutes per hour, out of those hours.

Originally Posted by Michael_Le

I prefer bar-charts to candle-charts, but both contain and display exactly the same information, don't they?

Originally Posted by Michael_Le

Nooooo ... as mentioned above, I don't believe in indicators at all. They're "trading"'s equivalent of article marketing's "duplicate content penalty", in other words they're totally fictional and completely nonsensical, and have absolutely no "predictive" value whatsoever.

It's a bit of a misconception that TA necessarily involves "indicators". There's actually plenty of "technical analysis" that doesn't involve "indicators" at all.

Er .... no.

With apologies, I'm not giving away my trading methods on the board; please excuse me.

Originally Posted by Michael_Le

Well, there are certainly some members at T2W who share my attitude to "indicators", too. I know a lot of home-based and amateur traders (and even some who consider themselves professionals) claim to find indicators very valuable. I subscribe more to the "Joe Ross school", i.e. of feeling that they're very good at displaying "what's just happened" but have no real predictive value. You'll find quite a lot of full-time hedge fund/bank traders also have this attitude. For example, many people trading range breakouts are not relying on indicators at all. (Nor, for that matter, were the famous "Turtle Traders", of whom you're doubtless aware? Their techniques were purely TA but didn't involve indicators at all. Slightly "historical" now, I grant you

).

Somewhere in the Off Topic folder there's a forex thread in which I made a few posts a year or two ago with a couple of links to previous trades of mine, showing little charts, points of entry/exit and so on. I'm not certain whether the links still work, but if I can find that post later, when I have a little more time, I'll come back and edit this post by adding a link to it. No promises (I just had a quick look a minute ago and couldn't find it: it's going to take more time, I think!

).

I trade only Forex. (In the past I've traded the indices a little, but less successfully and less comfortably - and never individual stocks at all. I prefer Forex).

Originally Posted by Michael_Le

Sorry - no time at the moment. (I've only ever made 6 posts there, it seems - I thought it was a little more than that!).

(We're way off topic, here: respectfully, if you want to discuss Forex, I suggest maybe starting a thread in the Off Topic forum?).

I don't know; part of my problem with this niche is that I have a participant's/customer's perspective rather than a marketer's one. I do think there's a big sector of traffic demographics available in this niche (an educated/upmarket/affluent one) to which very few "independent marketers" are catering at all. But I suspect that the main reason for that is the lack of suitable/appropriate things to promote. These are people (and there are large numbers of them, even in this economy!) who won't buy "indicator-based trading methods", clearly won't buy "EA's for MT" and - wisely - certainly won't open accounts with retail Forex bucketshops or chop-shops without doing lots of due diligence and maybe taking legal advice. So in many ways, I'm the worst person to ask; sorry. I've been thinking about this niche on and off for over 4 years, now, but so far without finding a way for myself to get into it. And all that in spite of my own father being "in the trade".

It can be hard to engage in any niche that you have little or no knowledge about.

Marketing has its fair share of work load so adding an extra dynamic of having to find decent topics to product content for is a no go for me.

My tip is to stay with passions, experiences and areas that you love!

As someone who suffers from skin problems like psoriasis and is incredibly knowledgeable about it, I also avoid the medical niche for the same reason. It's hard for me to talk about stuff like scabs, blisters, etc... ugh!

If you don't have good resources to compete in an overcrowded niche, surely avoid it. Pick small but scaleable niches, for example:

"how to do hardwood floors yourself" can grow into a big DIY niche

"growing holland roses" can grow into a home gardening niche, and so on

But do your throughout research first. Always.

Anything I don't know enough about or that is totally boring. Both would be disastrous. As a writer, putting my name on something that could be wrong or lead someone the wrong way, it's just not worthwhile. Now, there are, of course, other criteria, does a product meet my own moral requirements and beliefs, is the niche dominated by too many others who know so much more than me where I really can't compete -- probably a lot more things, but that's a few things that come to mind.

Personally, although I love animals, I'd never go into the pet niche. I find it all a bit too saccharine sweet for me, and some animal lovers are quite militant and a bit freaky. There are already enough scary cat ladies out there without me encouraging them.

I'd also never do the adult niche. I just don't want that kind of stuff on my computer. What if my kids find it?!!

Yes, porn and gambling are off the table because of my personal values.

However, I was once trying to find a product to promote and found a product that was promoting "natural cures for cancer" or something like that.

I started to write an article and got about 1/4 of the way done and just hit delete. I couldn't in good conscience promote a product that I was not 100% confident in.

I mean, what would have happened if I promoted the product and someone with cancer tried what the product had in it and died as a result of not seeking proper treatment.

I just couldn't sleep with that.

As long as it's legal, if it's profitable it's worth getting into IMO considering you have the start up capital for it. I don't get what the big deal with with p0rn, it's human reproductive nature in video and 95% of the population watches it while the remainder of the 5% grows blue balls and sexually frustrated. It's all about the money, all the time, if it's profitable, it makes your family live better, then why let moral and religion get in the way of a better future.

If you don't have capital then stay away from MMO, Weight-Loss, Lawyers, Marijuana, real estate, travel, gambling, briefly, anything where leads are worth in the 4 figures a year.

Thus far, I have avoided the MMO/IM niches... I can't think of
anything worse than trying to make money from a bunch of
broke people. :p

In terms of Adsense, I avoid the depression niche. I had a site in there and the CTR was pretty depressing.

Thanks

Serious illnesses niches I wouldn't touch. Unless I could genuinely offer real and helpful information on it but I doubt I could not being medically trained.

Thanks

For years we worked in the IM market however over recent times this has become very competitive so decided to branch our wings elsewhere!

Eventually we decided to focus on the pet niche, what brought us to this conclusion was by finding out how much competition there is out there. It sounds pretty straight forward, however I would avoid niches where there are lots of competition for your product. You need to find an angle with your product, it is no good just creating something in a market and hoping it will sell cos its great. There always needs to be an angle, an angle that people can relate to!

Thanks
