    Hi guys, ive been looking for the past few days on content specifically for my website. I have to say its DAMN hard to find a niche which for me in my interllectual reach to write about.

    I have tried: money,how to make money, etc... all the money niches you can think of. Also i have checked many key terms which has been literally zero help as all of the search results showed 0 EPI-(chance of being clicked).

    Could anyone pls suggest ANY niche which has not SO SO much competition and reasonably searched enough to get some clicks :)

    Thanks, and i will make a note for people who have helped me, and put their link on my website when its done :)

    thanks again.

    p.s: its kinda urgent, i have nothing to start on, and im new!

    I dont think that it would work, besides i have trouble thinking of niches myself. I literally thought of everything i knew and liked, and it came up on the class niche bot as millions of competitors and 0 chance of success.

    SO PLEASE, if you are established or can help a newbie beginner pls do so, it would mean so much and i will give you links from my page to yours

    Just go for something you're interesed in yourself. A few months down the line when you've been working hard at it you'll find it's a lot easier to keep motivated.

    If you have a hobby you can write about with passion it should come across in your website and you should be able to make it a success :)

    Seriously, if you don't have the imagination to think of something to make a site about when you can choose from EVERYTHING IN THE WHOLE WORLD. I don't fancy your chances in this game very much.

    You might try focusing on a particular part of a video game. Like how to deal with the terradactyl in Joust or the best way to jump in Moonpatrol or how to evade the pink goblin in Pac-Man. Ok so those might be a bit too focused.

    getting out of debt
    how to save money with coupons
    how to make money with credit card offers
    how to save money on your taxes
    how to invest in penny stocks

    how to pick a college
    how to pick your nose
    a typing tutor site
    a site about hang gliding resources
    interesting things to do in your city
    how to date a librarian

    the truth about ear candles
    how to annoy people in a elevator
    how to annoy government agents
    how to annoy your mom
    how to date someone who doesn't want to be a librarian, but may want to take up skydiving sometime in the next two years

    Please keep in mind that the quality of these vary and I am in no way responsible for any results you get good or bad, but you asked for some ideas. If you want to praise me please refer to me as "Qwerty, Duke of Defined and Definate Noodling Niches"

    Good luck

    With all fairness, if someone finds a nice little niche then their not going to pass it onto anyone else, if they took the time to think up something then their going to keep it for themselves.
    And its not selfishness but just business, given enough time you could come up with a niche on your own.

    Another idea is to visit a site that specializes in providing a new niche every day. Honestly I think it is almost pointless to try to use someone else's niche unless you really identify with it, but if you are creating a bunch of 3 or 4 page websites that are made for adsense it might work--for a while.

    Here is a niche a day website:

    You really need to find something that you are interested in.
    Interested enough to spend quality time and money promoting
    that niche.
    Competition doesn't mean you can't do well if you have the
    passion. I have over 1000 direct competitors in a cutthroat
    commodity business that takes a lot of technical knowledge
    to be in, and we are doing OK because there are a lot of
    customers and we know how to place high in SEO.

    And for heaven's sake, all the niches that you suggest sound
    like scams. Don't sound like a scam and you'll have a better
    and easier time of it.

    If I didn't know better, I would have sworn that I wrote that post.
    This kind of brainstorming is what I do. And you are good
    at it.

    Not good at spelling, but good at brainstorming.

    To find a niche or create a niche is very tough. The problem is... for every niche there is already a website. The other problem is.... If there already isn't a website, it will be hard to find people who share your niche without spamming.
    It seems to me that you really wouldn't be happy with a single niche site. I think you might be more happy continuing on the path you are heading and become a collection of resources. That way, you can have people repeatedly come back to your site.
    The most popular sites on the web are collection sites. for example: search engines, drudgereport, digg, etc....
    Good Luck!!!!

    1000 competing sites isn't a lot at all. In the great scheme of things, 1000 competing sites represent very little competition.

    They key is to find an unfulfilled need. Look at the forums you hang out in. Are there questions that keep coming up again and again that might make a good website?

    As a concrete example, I started noticing that people were sharing their monthly AdSense earning in forums and blogs. So I thought - "Why not make a website dedicated to that?". And thats how AdMoolah.com was born.

    Maybe you are a guitar player and hang out in guitar forums. You notice that people keep asking what the best practice amp is. Start a web site about different types of practice amps, reviews, etc.
