Trouble finding topic ideas

14 Jul 07 2:10 pm

Look around your house, your yard, neighborhood... have you any hobbies? are you interested in learning about something? Go to Amazon and look at their magazine section... start brainstorming by making a list of all these ideas. Give yourself 30 minutes to write down ideas (don't judge them, just write them.)

Then take a look at your list and pick 5 items that you are interested in. Then check to see if there are affiliate products available, like Supeaff suggested, Clickbank is a good place to look. Google for products that you think would be good to promote and see if they have affiliate programs.

Give yourself a time limit in deciding on your topic. Make today the day you decide. Then go register a domain and get started.

Think about this: What's the worse thing that could happen if you pick a niche you don't like or isn't making a profit? Sure you'll have wasted some time and maybe a little bit of money, but the knowledge and experience you’ve gained by actually going through the process will be priceless to you :wink: Repeating the process will be so much easier for the next niche.

Good luck,

Hunter: The best place to start is looking for profitable affiliate programs. Once you've found a few affiliate programs to promote in a certain niche (and you KNOW that they sell well... look at the "gravity" score in ClickBank) then that's pretty much all you need for choosing a niche.

Once you've got that you know there's money to be made in a market, and your job then is to find out how it's being made. Which is where your keywords come in: You need to find keywords that not only have enough people searching on them, but that are also the sorts of things that people type into the search engines when they could be convinced to buy something.

Once you've got a good number of THOSE... it just comes down to building your site around them.

When you don't know which end to attack it from, it can seem like a lottery. But all you have to do is look at where the money is already, and just go there as well.

If you're still stuck on things, AffiloBlueprint will be swinging open those doors in less than two months, and it might be worth jumping on board. We go through all this sort of stuff.
