Kozyavka, that's some good, basic info about finding your niche. You can also browse magazine racks at your local bookstore, poke around ebay pulse for ideas, too. Make sure there's enough searches/day and not too many competitors. Also, google your keywords and look at the top ranking websites, if you are selling a product, make sure that those sites are selling products and not just offering info on them. I was in a niche that was on fire with searches and manageable with competition, BUT, the searchers were NOT buyers. Time wasted, lesson learned.
right, searchers use "browse" and "compare" keywords, they also called generic as they mainly used for gathering information. Buyers use "buy" keywords, as they have intention to buy... What you were selling is probably "comparison" information, which is potential buyer is looking for when he didn't make a decision yet and doesn't have an intention to buy yet...
Wow..I had no Idea there was a difference. So I guess this means I may need to do some more keyword homework first to tell the difference? How can you tell the difference though? Just google it I guess? I'm not lazy just want to see if there's a faster way to find out.

I think you should be passionate about, but knowing if you are on the right niche is of course analyzing supply and demand, and if demand overpasses supply, and it's considerable below your costs to make you a profit, then you are into something.
I'd also check the google adsense tool to see how much it costs per clicks. I'm in some niches that pay 550$+ CPM, heh. Now THOSE are sites that are nice to have high serps on, heh.
1. You enjoy what you're doing 2. You know a lot of information about it. 3. You are craving to learn more about it 4. You think you can offer content not currently offered by others 5. You believe it can go viral instantly.
Niche is very subjective thing. And it don't have right or wrong niche. You must chose the niche based on your interest not on the potential of the earning.
It would be good if your niche is something global... not something only people in your village/town/city are interested in.
How do you know if you have the right niche? Simple. You do something you like to do. Say your hobby is football, why not make a football website? If it's your first website then you should definately do something you enjoy, it'll just make the whole process so much easier and more enjoyable. If you're an experienced web developer, then you should go for the high paying niche and keep the site updated regularly.
Agreed, I've helped way too many people get going but they pick a topic that they hold no interest in. They are all gung ho to work on it for a bit, but as soon as that initial passion to build a website burns out their laziness overcomes them and nothing ever comes from their site.
Exactly. You need a real goal as well as something you enjoy doing. If you only have one, then the novelty will wear off and you'll get bored pretty quick. Trust me, I've been there. Think what you want to get out of this, whether its beer money for next month or a holiday next year, and keep thinking of that goal when you work.
Again, THanks to all for all your help. Saying that I'm a very motivated would be an understatement. As far as passion is concerned I Have 2 areas of expertise that I was in Both are passionate and both are realated to what's going on in the economy right now and I feel that not only would it be profitable for me but also helpful for others. So I'm hoping to capitalize on that. The third area I want to get started in is IM but I'm just getting started and sharing information as I learn. How ever I guess I was more referring to more to numbers, I mean I've done some research and believe that the Supply/Demand ratio is there but is it possible for a niche to "Expire?" I mean I've heard that some clickbank products start to fade as the market gets saturated with a new product after a while. Can something similar happen to a niche? I guess I'll just have to learn from trial and error... Of course if anyone has some info I'd be glad to hear your thoughts on this.
