You always here that people make up conspiracies to make them profitable. Well exactly how profitable are they? Do these people make a killing off of topics like 9/11, aliens, Big Foot?
Wouldn't the real question be.. are people paying to advertise to sites like that? I think you can search and find content available.. meaning that there is a community of interest established already. Credible news on topics such as you listed is what Makes the Killing.. Tons of forums already created, and news sites.. Find a way to spin it and you will get the following
There are some big websites out there that deal with conspiracies, and I imagine that they do pretty good. One guy, Alex Jones has a youtube channel, a website and I think a forum. But he also gets a lot of publicity when he goes to political rallies and gets arrested. Of course Alex has someone filming him getting arrested so he can later post it on youtube. Another large site is prison planet, they deal with all kinds of conspiracies. They have a forum, but it does not get a lot of traffic. I think prison planet has a youtube channel, but I'am not for sure. That is the kind of competition you will be up against if you open a conspiracies site. Those are big operations that already have a huge portion of the market. So ask yourself, are you willing to go to a political rally, get arrested, film all of it, then post it on youtube? Are you going to go find the fema camps, film them and post it on youtube? Are you willing to put together 2 hour videos on 911 and the federal reserve system? Unless your willing to compete against people like that, dont even bother opening a site. If you do open a site, realize that the big players like alex jones an prison planet already have most of the market wrapped up.
Is this always the case? Maybe there hasn't been an idea to exploit that niche. It kind of reminds me of the game testing niche. 5 years ago there wasn't a game testing niche and nobody was advertising. So does that mean whoever was looking for that niche 5 years ago should have given up because there wasn't anyone advertising?
If you have enough people asking question i Google that aren't getting answer in relation to a specific conspiracy then you have a profitable niche!
Prison Planet is Alex Jones' domain. Its a mirror of Infowars.com. You also forgot to mention Prisonplanet.tv which is a membership site to view his live videos for his radio show .............not that I know anything about that.......
Thank you for clearing that up. I watch some of Alexs videos on youtube, but do not visit his site very much. One of his best videos, in my opinion anyway, was when he went to some kind of town hall meeting for president bush, started yelling something about abolishing the federal reserve and got arrested. One thing about Alex, you either like him, or you hate him. --------------------------------- One person that I forgot to mention, and should have mentioned first, is Chuck Harder. Chuck has a radio show and has been broadcasting about conspiracy stuff for about 15 years. I was listening to Chuck Harder in around 1993, 1994 or 1995 - years before Alex Jones opened his website. Then there is Ken Hamblin, also known as the Black Avenger. But I do not know what Ken is doing these days. Ken and Chuck Harder ruled the conspiracy theory media up until a few years ago. That is when people like Alex Jones have stepped up and made a mark in the industry.
No. Alex Jones and a few other sites already dominate this niche. They travel, they have the budgets, they have cameramen, they have radioshows, they have forums, they have the stories, etc..
