    Hi,

    I have been learning that becoming an expert in 1 niche can help a lot. I have been looking at a lot of programs in CJ to start building my niche... but still confused.

    If anyone can help me find a good niche which wont go out of trend for a long time and has good profit, I would be very happy.

    Thanks
    Dee

    sports, fitness, health products, skin products, ... just look at the categories and you have tons of high quality niches.

    Now.. these terms are a bit broad. Dig deeper. For example, sports. How about making a review site for baseball bats? Tell people which is best, and refer them to the dealer to purchase it. Since bats are like $200 - $500 each, an 8% commission is quite a lot.

    I have success promoting free* trials, but it really depends on your audience.

    Step 1: Figure out what you like. Is there something you've suffered from in the past? Make a review site on it.

    For example, are you wearing glasses or contacts? Maybe you know a lot about contacts and glasses and you want people to know the information you know. Compare and contrast the thousands of brands of contact lenses and you sell it pretty well.

    Step 2: Find good merchants that pay high commissions.

    Merchants include lens.com and a ton others for contact lenses. They pay up to 30%, and average order size is $130. Not a bad deal.


    I really don't see why it's so hard, besides the fact that if you suck at making websites, ur not going to get any sales.

    Another problem can be the fact of niche saturation, you dont want that. Otherwise how would you get traffic?

    Discovering profitable niches is 75% of the work in this business. If you have a profitable niche right now, see if you can milk any more out of it before you move on to your next niche. Get it humming like a well oiled machine.

    As for niche discovery. It can be hit or miss. Finding them is like finding a needle in a haystack. There are a couple of tools out there that make it easier. NicheBuilder comes to mind although I could be way off base on tht one.

    A great place to find niches is the Hot 100 lists. Like Lycos'. Every once in a while you will find a gem amidst all of the celeb BS.

    Good luck.

    If you want easy traffic with AdWords try dating. CJ is full dating advertisers and AdWords seems to be willing to push them cheap. But.... the commisions are not high.

    You should be the expert in the market you love and well known.
