Hi, I joined today this forum as I want to construct my own website and have some revenue from Adsense. But since internet is such a big source of information, it's driving me nuts. Everything sems to be saturated. I already got the ideia that I have to find a niche that is not saturated, right? But at the same time I have to enjoy what the website is about so I can work on it every day by soul! And can't I make a website wich a saturated niche? where to find the best/cheapest web hosting? How can I brainstorm myself to find a good niche. I not only want to earn cash from adsense, but grow in the my "future" niche area! One last question? I thought about constructing a forum once people keep going there... will it have a good adsense earning? What are your experiences from you and others? Regards, Marco! PS:looking for you to share your experiences!
Dont' do it. Just go to college and work for some Fortune 500 company and drive an SUV. Seriously, you are right. The internet is saturated in amany ways, but it can be improved in even more ways. It's very hard to make a great site, get visitors there, and create the kind of stuff that people actually want to see. In my opinion, articles are not enough. Most people don't read a lot of articles. You need "stuff" that people actually want to use. Will you make a lot of money? That depends. I started a site last October that I've spent about $500 and I'm making about $1 per day on adense. I had huge ideas for the site, but I must admit that it's been very tough balancing between keeping the forum going (with my posts) and providing the video and audio that I had orginally planned to create (and still haven't been able to do). There are definite ways to make a lot of money (and I have sites that have made quite a bit of money) but those weren't sites that I was interested in. Those sites filled a need. Only you can figure this out. For cheap hosting, I like icdsoft.com. They've always taken care of me. Brandon
marco, you are right. to be successful you need to build a niche you are passionate about, only hten you will have to drive and determination to maintain your site. for me that means i can only build two sites, since there are really only two topics i am really knowledgable about. no point trying to build sites for high-paying keywords when you know nuts about them. you have to ask yourself, "what topic interests me?" if you cannot find an immediate answer to that, perhaps long-term adsense is not for you. or, if you have the time and determination, you can learn up everything you can about a subject in, say, two months THEN you build a site on that.
A few things to note. Your interests will change or expand. You may want to choose a domain name that will allow you to expand into other things. You have to put some thought into this, but consider expansion as well. Brandon
