    There are millions of niches out there.

    Hardware can make you alot of money, but it's extremely competitive.

    Shall I get a new domain or a subdomain ?Will it be reasonable to get a new domain with different ip?

    A different IP won't really matter that much unless you've already got a hardware site on the same ip. Different domain, well that depends on what you have already.

    the niche does pay well but like any other niche that pays well you will have a huge amount of competition because where there is money there is plenty of people trying to get it and you will be competing with large companies who already have been established. From experience I would make sure you have a very concentrated niche so that you will be able to get traffic to your website to make it worth you time and be able to take a good piece of the niche.

    You could consider selling Dialogic (telephony) hardware. Google Dialogic on ebay. It's used for voice mail, classified ads, and other types of phone services. The profit margin can be hundreds of dollars per card.

    Are you going to create an online store? That niche is dense. I suggest you concentrate on just one category, like why not create an online store that sells only e.g. "graphics card". :D

    It'd be hard to find a good supplier for stuff like that. Does anybody actually know a good video card or hard drive supplier that can dropship?

    Very competitive, you will need to go more specific into computer hardware because keeping it general isnt going to cut it.

    The key to selling anything is finding an item that has a high profit margin. While this is obvious, why spend all your time pushing something that will make $5-10 in profit? Bigger ticket items can be more profitable as the people that purchase them may be less worried about price and more about quality, style or model. The more specialized the hardware, the less customers there are but you can charge more. In exchange for higher profits, you have to take more risk and stock the items.

    I'm moving toward marketing Dialogic hardware and stocking it here. I have already bid on and won several auctions to get the hardware for resale. If you are willing to market the hardware and pull in the customers, I would be willing to buy it and stock it. I just don't have a lot of time to work on any more projects.

    I'm sure you could make a lot of money off of a computer hardware website. Keep it updated and keep feeding your members content and that's the way you do it. :)

    I recall doing a search a while back for online medication providers. There was one outfit that I identified that seemed to have THOUSANDS (if not tens of thousands) of domains using their template. I could not determine if any of them were legit. I ended up passing and going to a local doctor for a prescription. The company I looked at claimed to be in the US but everything pointed to canada.

    I do believe that any niche can be profitable if there are enough searches being done for it. I agree that some niches can have too much competition, but you would want to stand out from the other sites and really be good at driving traffic to your site and then converting those visitors in order to make money.

    You are right. In my case, I market to gain qualified sales leads. Those leads do me no good though if I cannot convert them.

    The thing I keep in mind, however, is that different sites have different goals:

    sites that are making money from traffic (pay per click) or impressions obviously need a lot of traffic. They would prefer well qualified traffic if they are making money from clicks. If it's just a matter of traffic and impressions, then it doesn't matter who shows up as long as they show up. Obviously, getting paid for just impressions would require a whole lot of traffic.

    sites that are a pure service (like a major web dating site, for example) has to convert traffic to subscriptions. They are interested in the quality of the traffic as well as the quantity. They might make money from the clicks or impressions as well depending if they can find a way to do it tastefully.

    a pure product site (software, for example) is more like the service site: well-qualified searches and traffic produce leads and prospective customers. It's still the job of the site to sell the customer.
