    website description: it's a website related to calisthenics (body weight training) and there is a nutrition part and a workout part.

    Health is a profitable niche which you can cash on if you go right. The viewers to your website will already be interested in improving their health. So, you may add affiliate health related products giving a review about the same. If you have a nice reputation built through your trainings, people would check those products for sure. Second, if you can find a health product offers who also has a network marketing program, its even better as you might advertise something like, "the product is proven to a better health, why not use it and also earn money through it at the same time!" then a bit about how much they can earn etc...
    Keep in mind that you should be perceived as a master in your niche. Wish you luck!

    Adsense is the most profitable earning method for health niches. Please hire someone to do the right seo before you destroy your seo with spammy links. Good luck!

    I agree that affiliate marketing would be your best bet. There are many great affiliate networks and programs available for sports supplements with commissions as high as 50%. It's not uncommon to make $100 from just one sale.

    Hey Richard,

    We'd definitely agree with the members above who have suggested affiliate marketing!

    I'd suggest to create sections on your site for product reviews & for discounts, and look for relevant fitness and bodybuilding affiliate programs. Supplements certainly pay well and there is a wide range depending on your target audience (newbies or more hardcore, male or female, and their goals). You could also look at affiliate offers for workout / training programs and for muscle foods - high protein foods, shakes and meals.

    Many companies will be willing to send you product samples, particularly when they see quality generic content, good layout, social media etc. so that you can test products for yourself, get your followers to test them and run giveaways. The better your site gets the more opportunities available, but hopefully you are passionate about the niche so perhaps have some experience of certain products initially that you could review, and also review products based on the information available online (user reviews, ingredients profile etc).

    Definitely make sure to keep a good balance of informational / useful content such as you've already described, and promotional content with more buyer intent, so that you build yourself authority in the niche.

    Good luck and if you have any questions or want to run any ideas past us then definitely go ahead!

    MN Cat :)

    Commission Junction and Clickbank are great places to find products that you can promote. Or if you have a favorite product or drink that you use they may have their own affiliate program. I always go to the footer on the website and look at all the small links.

    Hi Richard, I like this type of training and think you should also write about the benefits of this over other types of training... years ago I damaged my shoulder doing dumbbell flys and now just focus on body weight training... maybe others can benefit from knowing why it's a good way to train. also cheaper than the gym membership I had :)

    That's a very good niche, and I do believe a blog will provide you with many benefits. There's a lot to cover in the fitness niche, and a ton of effective products to promote. I would establish an active membership on many fitness and bodybuilding (bodybuilding.com's forums as users who train for all different sports and reasons, not just bodybuildng) forums, where you will find naturals looking to find information on bodyweight training.

    Recommend products naturally within the articles, don't just write articles about the products. There are supplement logs all over the net and you can even cover someone's successful journey (linking to the forum as a direct source, people will trust it's a genuine log) with certain supplements. Overall, just make sure you give out real advice, because there's a ton of garbage fitness content that gets promoted by people involved in affiliate marketing. So many bullsh** fads in the fitness industry, avoid these at all costs as it will ruin your reputation in the long run.

    I am an active member on many fitness forums so I am saying this from years of experience. Do it right and you will make a ton of cash from your website. I would use Amazon Associates and a blog. Share your content and post as often as possible. Good luck!

    Also...In your niche you can post unique stuff forever, there's always something new to talk about - so use Adsense and Amazon as your source of income. A store isn't necessary, and will probably be harder to promote than simply using a blog w high quality articles and genuine product recommendations.
