Niche: Selling Information

Posted by JerJer | February 1, 2009 .

First, imagine your perfect day making money. If you envision selling information via a web site you’re on your way.

Next, what are you interested in? What do you have special knowledge about? What subject can you put together an information package about and offer for sale to consumers that are also interested in your subject?

In other words what niche do you plan to attack?

Once you’ve identified this niche, do some research. Use Google.com to find sites and forums and blogs focused on your target niche. How many searches were done last month on keywords related to your proposed niche.

How many advertisers are there at Google? Yahoo? Miva?

Your goal is to determine how much demand there is for your proposed information package. After all, if your target niche is “underwater basket weaving” and there were only 5 searches last month for this search term on Google.com you won’t make a dime! There is zero demand.
