What is a good niche for a website?
Hello, I am trying to create a website that is profitable (Adsense, Commisions, etc,) but I really do not know what market to choose. I am really good at computer hardware, I was thinking in making a site that helps you how to build a computer (gaming, home theater pc, etc). is that a good niche, if not can someone tell me what is good for this year? Thanks, my email is stevenmenaz@gmail.com ( in private if you want)

The Web Guy answers:
Computer hardware would be good, do it on something you can write about and enjoy. The good thing about your niche is that your visitors will generally be interested in buying products (computer hardware), so the value of your traffic is relatively high. There is new hardware coming out all the time so you will never run out of things to write about.

Thomas asks…
What online business should I run?
I am looking into starting an online business. My previous 9-5 job has been making me 6 figures ($100,000) and up per year. However, I would like to quit my 9-5 job. I hear some affiliate marketers online make 1 million dollars and more a year! I would really like to start an online business that could make me six or more figures a year. I know you cant get rich quick online, but it would be nice to eventually get rich online.
I have no idea as of where to start with choosing an online business. What online businesses are the best and most profitable that could make me six or more figures a year? I have a couple ideas so far. Please let me know if you think any of these online business ideas could make me six or more figures a year.
1. A website that contains a lot of content (how to articles, articles, videos, guides, etc.) on a certain niche. The content along with promotion would bring a lot of traffic to my site. I would then place ads like Google Adsense and I would promote relevant affiliate products on my site to make money. Could this online business idea make me six or more figures a year?
2. A auction/marketplace website where users can trade, buy, and sell gift cards for money. The site would have a auction/marketplace section where sellers could choose a price and list their gift card. If buyers like the card that is listed, they could purchase the gift card. I would take the buyers money until there is positive feedback from the buyer, or no feedback for 30 days. If that is the case, I would give the seller the cash. I would make money by charging a small proccessing fee from the seller before giving the cash. I would also put ads on the site. I could also put a “direct sell” section where users who want quick cash can send me there gift card to my PO Box. After I verify the card, I send the seller cash. I then sell the gift card on a different site for more than I payed for the card. Could this online business idea make me six or more figures a year?
Do you think any of these online business ideas could make me six or more figures a year? I would really like to retire in Florida with the money I make online. Any other suggestions for online business ideas that could make me six or more figures a year? Thanks!!!!!

I’m glad to hear you understand that you can’t make money overnight, contrary to what you might be hearing from people trying to sell you useless stuff.
Idea 1 would work – that is definitely the long term strategy to success. But you need to work at it for a while to build up an income and how much depends on what you are selling.
What you earn is related to the number of visitors. If you have 1,000 visitors a day and 1% clicked a google ad, that would be 10 a day at say $.50 a click = $5 a day = less than $2,000 a year. So check the figures – how many people do you need to buy products from you per day to give you $100,000? The more visitors you need to do this, the more investment you need and the harder you have to work.
I would suggest you develop a couple of products of your own – but get the website started first and see where you think a new product could fit in (the sooner you start the website the sooner you can retire!).
This subject is vast and there is no quick fix, just like any other business. You need to spend a lot of research time deciding what online business to start and how to do it. You may need several websites to make the money you want. But start one first, make some mistakes and learn from them and don’t give up your day job yet.
As to your second suggestion, I don’t get it so can’t comment. But again, it would all depend on the traffic and how you promote the website.
Hope your new endeavour works out.
