The BEST OFFLINE NICHE that spends the MOST MONEY on ONLINE MARKETING!!

I don't know if you need just money spend on online marketing. I think you can take the big picture of marketing budgets as a whole. if you provide better ROI they will move more of theat budget to you.

And the businesses that spend the most advertising are dealerships. Car mainly but also motorcycle, boat, and RV as well.

Of course dealerships need specialized websites so this isn't something easy to do but beyond the website you can offer other marketing.

Can you use PPC to bring them more customers looking for the cars they have in stock? Yes focusing a PPC campaign around what they have in stock would be a lot of work but it could have a great ROI for them.

Could you use EDDM and oversized postcards to brand them cheaper than their current direct mail campaigns?

Could you use Youtube Videos marketing to take the TV ads they are having produced and reach another market online?

There are a lot of things we talk about here that could be offered to dealerships. Or you could aim big and do the websites as well and be focused on this niche.

Home remodeling companies have been pretty happy to spend good sums of money on online marketing.

Life and Health Insurance companies will buy leads buy the truckload if you're good at generating them.

Property development and investment work really well for me. Since people aren't getting much a return on their $$$ in the bank, they're looking at property again. I purchase PPC ads, collect the leads and then sell them to investment companies.

Expensive to get started if you don't know what you're doing though!

Restaurants no doubt.

Poker membership sites pay an absolute fortune to rank well in YouTube.

Thanks for the ideas guys. Any more?

Websites/SEO - home remodelers, cleaning companies, general contractors, restaurants

Good thread, anyone else have any ideas?

Property Management companies and Law Firms . It is very easy to collect leads using some unique twists; you can collect 3-5 leads per day by just spending 1 hour posting(hint).

They pay a loooootttt but make sure you know where to sell those leads . Do a market research

Why is nobody talking about entertainment, gaming and financial niches? they seem to be working out well for the users.

I second Attorneys. Great vertical, plus they understand the value of a contract.

Construction Companies
Property Companies

I've run lots of adwords campaigns for businesses at the agency level over the years, and IMO there's no 1 perfect niche.

Depending on how good you are at generating leads & sales AND what kind of deal you can cut with a client or affiliate network, the earning capacity could be huge (or minimal) in many different areas.

Companies who play in highly competitive spaces are always a good candidate for doing a deal with *IF* you can do a much better job at getting leads & sales than them.

Big ticket item sales (cars, houses, swimming pools, renovations, expensive dentistry, etc) are also potentially big earners, simply based on the price to buy the product or service.

I know it's not really a definitive answer as such, but (to me) it's one of those "how long is a piece of string" type questions. No perfect answer because it all depends on the circumstances.

Plumbing companies,general contractors,roofing companies,painting contractors.I've done very good with these niches.

Plumbing and law firms are great. It depends on the areas that you are specializing in like reputation management, or something like seo.

I think i've come to the conclusion that the best niche is the one that you commit to and stick at for long enough to see the results...

I agree on Doctors/Lawyers/Contractors/Realtors, they have the bigger budgets. I seem to work with a lot of bars/restaurants, they pay less but there are more of them and easier to land.

Real Estate

I am glad this got bumped and I just spend 3 days in Orlando for Digital Dealer 14. And I think my reply holds even more weight now that I have experienced that. There is huge opportunity here as I can say many of the presenters didn't know what they were saying and didn't demand my attention.

The fact I am here all the time was a lot of why that was true. So if these guys are making thousands if not millions in the auto dealer space there is room for a lot of people.

If you have already sharpened your skills and have experience why not form a company targeting the auto world. I think it would be a good expansion for many of you.

Hands down restaurants make up the majority of my offline portfolio but that may becuase I used to work in restaurants to have a few connections.

I also have
Cafes
Bars
Consulatants
Accountants
Sun Bed Places
Football Clubs
Gyms
and Dentists

There are so many fish in the sea to choose from!

Real Estate is a good one for now

This is a great thread. I must say that I did steal some great ideas from this thread! Thanks for the insights

I've worked with plumbers, lawyers and a rarely mentioned niche court reporters. I would say the lawyers were the best to work with because they know the value of marketing and don't get scared by large numbers.

I think it's depend on where you live...
Any niche you make money with it- it's a good niche.
Just my 2 cents.

Mainly services niches like office services, company services, web design, resturants, motels etc

I think, the car sales niche. As of writing this reply, on the other tabs opened in my screen, I can see a lot of "car sales" banner ads on the sides of Facebook!

It depends to an extent on what market niches you relate to. My top three are:

1. Contractors
2. Restaurants
3. Real Estate

They don't necessarily spend the most in each case, but over time I've developed
a skill at relating to what they want...and getting it for them.

As much as it's about more customers/clients and sales, some are just as motivated by
image, longer term clients, and consistent referrals. If you are pressing the right 'hot button',
they spend more too.

For the last ten years I have worked almost exclusively in the construction sector and related trades. Plumbers, electricians, air conditioning - I have consultancies right now where I am charging £295 ($449) a day bringing leads into local construction companies. I work on site with some companies from their office and with others I work from home.

My day rate is just the beginning. I am also providing website design. mobile websites and SEO services - once I get my foot in the door.

Every little bit helps!
