    Hi,

    I am currently looking for profitable niches. The latest one I am thinking about is "Mobile Phones" Is this niche saturated? Can I earn money from a site offering free stuff and information about Mobile Phones by using Adsense?

    Let me know.

    Thanks

    That depends on what you plan on creating your mobile phone website about. If just mobile/cell phones in general, then yes there are a lot of sites out like that. You can target a niche market if only you would think deeper and create a site more specific to a certain brand, style, features etc.

    That is a highly competitive nich you are getting into. However, if you target each type of phone as its own keyword group, then you may be able to compete.

    With a site on products, i think it would better if you were to have click per action ads.

    Yes in fact,i have a forum which related with mobile phone niche is earn $100/month compare to my webmaster forum only $50/month.
    What i can tips you is,don't rely only on adsense but try to search for alternative way such as going thru affiliate or banner sales.

    It means "webmaster" niche is difficult to monetize than "Mobiles" niche.
    So, is it good for me to start a website related to mobile phone niche? I want to make a free stuff site related to mobile phones.

    If you need to do anything in this niche you need to have a niche within the niche. Have you done any searches and compiled your competition? Thats your first step. I'm not to familiar with it but without research you'll never get anywhere. Do your research first. I've learned that the hard way too many times.

    If you think mobile phones is a niche, then you really have to evaluate if you're cut out for internet marketing...

    Yes it really copetitive niche, market is really saturated as thousands of mobile phone blogs are out there.
    But yeah you can get into in this niche if you pick a particular mobile phone company and target on those keywords.

    I have searched about it a lot. There are thousands of sites related to mobile phones. So i think it is difficult to promote a site related to mobile phones in general. Now I am searching for information about individual companies. May be I can find solution this time.

    It seems like you're slowly picking it up. You are correct in saying mobile phones in general because that is a general term. You need to think of something more specific such as smart phones or something much smaller.

    People need to learn what "niche" means before saying it.

    Your site should be more specific as hav0c said before and you should think about good SEO.

    I suggest narrowing your field to a specific model or a series. The wider range has a dense market.

    Nokia Symbian Phone Reviews - I'd say that's a niche. (Symbian is Nokia's operating system.)
