1 Make Money Now! - A Look At The Top Seven Online Niches

2 One of the most important and most basic truths of succeeding with affiliate marketing is that you want to focus on an area in which you can be an expert. Makes sense, right? After all, one of the best ways to keep people coming back to your site (and making purchases from your site) is for them to find something valuable on your site. And there is not much that beats the perceived value of listening to an expert. Being able to get to a point where you are viewed as an expert in your niche will make it far easier for you to gain followers on Twitter, gain visitors to your website, and make lots of money! While this is a core truth you need to understand in order to reach your ceiling for success in online business, one thing that many people get confused by is thinking that this means they need to focus on a niche they already know something about, regardless of profitability. We ll let you in on a secret: This could not be further from the truth! The trick is not to pick a niche you know a lot about and then try to make it profitable. The trick, instead, is to pick a profitable niche, and to then gain enough knowledge as you move forward in this niche that you can present the image of an expert! Step One, then, is not learning about a niche or about a topic. Instead, Step One is simply picking a profitable niche.

3 Along these lines, then, we are going to look at seven popular niches, and at the ways in which you can stand out in whichever of these niches you choose to focus on. 1. Health, Wealth, and Dating This is three separate categories, but all three are the most popular niches out there. These are what we call entry level niches, as they are the niches with which most people get started. While the popularity of these niches means that there is a lot of money to be made in them, however, this also means it is far more difficult to stand out in these niches, as nearly every person who is just getting started with affiliate marketing gravitates toward these three areas. As such, we actually see these as niches for advanced affiliate marketers, rather than for entry-level affiliate marketers, as it takes someone with advanced knowledge to really know how to stand out in these fields. 2. Self-Improvement Self-development and self-improvement are always popular topics (just look at Oprah and Dr. Phil; that is a big part of the reason why each of them are so popular on television!), and this is a niche that often gets overlooked. The key to succeeding in this niche is to find a very specific, lowcompetition area to target.

4 3. Information Technology Because the world of technology is so all-encompassing in most of our lives these days, this is an extremely valuable niche to be part of. As with self-improvement, we recommend finding a specific area to focus on (perhaps reviews of software programs, or reviews of laptops, or information about how to get the most out of an iphone; things that will bring a very specific, targeted audience). Becoming an expert in this niche can take a bit of time, but it can be extremely profitable. 4. Language Learning Tips This is a very profitable, and very seriously overlooked niche for affiliate marketing. A huge number of people want to learn a new language and do not know where to start; make your website the place where they should start! 5. Entrepreneurship This is a spin on the make money online niche (which is filed under wealth on #1), but with a lot more leeway for attracting an audience that will look up to you as an expert, and that will seriously help you grow your brand. By providing tips, information, tools, and products to help others become a successful entrepreneur, you can become a successful entrepreneur yourself!

5 6. Online Shopping Do you ever buy anything online? Yeah so does everyone else! This is a great way to make money and the best way to do this is by making sure your website has a very specific place in the online marketplace (rather than being a catchall for products that are all over the map!). 7. Recipes And Cooking This is another niche most people do not think of off the top of their head, but that most people online are always searching out. This makes it a niche in which you can create a place for yourself online, and it makes it a niche in which you can be profitable! Ultimately, the right niche for you is whatever niche you feel comfortable attacking. Just remember: you don t have to be an expert when you start out! You just have to paint yourself as an expert, and gain the knowledge you need to gain as you go along.
