Great answer James - I'm a newbie and your answer was absolutely inspiring. You have to fail before you succeed - failure is the step right before success!

pen and paper is my first tool. Write out a list of things that you enjoy doing, and things that you want to improve in your life. If you choose a niche that is something that you want to improve, you will be more likely to follow through on the research and you will be helping others as you learn yourself.

Then go to Clickbank and Amazon to find products that you can promote related to your niche. Although there are other affiliate networks out there, those two are the easiest to join when you are new.

hmmm.. not sure what you mean, and I don't use Godaddy for anything, so I don't know how their stuff works.

Are you talking about doing a redirect to an affiliate product? PM me with the link if you dont want to put it out in public and I will take a look so that I can see what you mean.

Hi nivram21,

There really is no specific time frame in choosing a niche. Choose a niche that you are interested in because this will make it easier for you to write content for your site in the future. Just don't get too caught up in selecting a niche... choose one and then get started. =)

All the best and have a good day!

I got this article from one of the forums where I was browsing..Thanks to Lynn :)

The most popular advice is to “do what you love”, or go with a niche you are passionate about. This most likely includes a hobby or lifestyle choice.
This is a great idea because you are already knowledgeable and experienced on the topic. You’re also less likely to get bored with it than niches where you don’t have a personal interest.
The second suggestion is to choose a niche where you have professional experience or expertise. Another great approach, except that most people are already burned out on their chosen profession, or still doing it as a day job, and can’t get excited about spending their nights and weekends at it as well…
The third way to select a niche, and one that I recommend a lot, is to choose something you’d like to start doing. A new hobby or lifestyle, or something you’d like to collect or get into.
Since you are just getting started at it yourself, you actually are your target market. This puts you in an ideal position, and gives you insight and empathy with your market – you can easily connect with them on their level.
You’re in research phase, finding resources and discovering what works and what doesn’t – or the best way to do this or that. Sharing all of that information becomes your “content”. And it’s very easy to generate since you’re already actively collecting information on the topic.
Of those top 3 ways to choose a niche, the last one would be my favorite. I have often started a new online business based on new personal interests. I find that it makes work fun, and that fresh enthusiasm for a topic will take you a long way.

Hope you find this helpful like I did..
