Firstly Ask Yourself Which Type of Site you want to make? Lets say if its a site to make money from Sales, Ecommerce Type Sites are the best. Now What Kind of an Ecommerce Site do you want to own? a)Whether its a General Site like Amazon.com, Shopping.com etc or b)whether its a site targeted to One Specific Category (such as cellphones) or for One Particular Product say Nokia Cells Phones. The Option b) looks more attractive as You won't have The Big Brand Competitors like Amazon / Shopping.com which people would Otherwise Prefer. I mean, you have a better chance to target yourself in one particular type to get Targeted Visitors. Now How do I know which Niche or Product to Start with?; For that I can give you 2 Amazing Ideas That just Struck to my mind. 1. Ebay Pulse (Pulse.Ebay.com) - The top products lists provided in the Pulse report shows you the most in demand products in the world’s largest online store 2. Top 100 Searches of Shopping.com - Clicking on the ‘Top Searches’ will give you the Top 100 products that are people are buying, AND even more importantly, the actual search terms people are using to find theses products. So you know what to target for, You can make a Direct Sales Site, A Drop Shippers Site or an Affiliate Site. You name it. You will get Sales as you know what People are interested in and Concentrate on just those. Regards, Hemanth on Behalf of iWebie
