The importance of choosing the right niche (for you)

As a newbie here and to affiliate marketing in general, one of the big decisions I had to make was what niche to start with. In the past when I have dabbled with affiliate marketing I played with the cliché niches - "How to lose weight fast", "How to make a million dollars tomorrow" etc.

And that is why I failed. I never got anywhere at all.. Why?

I simply wasn't passionate about the niche at all. This time it is different, I have chosen a niche that fits in with my life. Everyday I am completely absorbed in this niche, which makes working on the website so much easier.

My niche is about Learning the German language. This is something that I am doing because I have an Austrian girlfriend and spend a lot of my time in Austria.

So, my day looks something like this:

  • Spend an hour in the morning revising German words and phrases
  • Breakfast / Walk (great time to think about what you want to achieve today)
  • Work on my current post / add new post ideas (I usually have around 5 a day)
  • Lunchtime
  • Post article
  • Spend time with girlfriend - speaking German as much as I can
  • Dinner
  • Review website, look at google analytics.
  • Watch some German TV / Movies etc

So, you can see I am living and breathing German every day.. this makes it very easy for me to write articles. Once I start, it seems to flow very easily.

So, my advise when you are starting is to find a niche that you are passionate about, concentrate on that. Use that niche to really learn what you are doing with your business.

To my future and yours. I wish you all the best of luck.
Feel free to follow me and ask me any questions you may have.

Good advice here Adam.
My first website I liked but not passionate. My 2nd site I am totally passionate.
Makes it so much easier :)

Don't Just Write Post, Your Idea Sounds Like It Would Be An Amazing Podcast & Vlog, Both you monetize as well as your website, or website courses. What better way to learn than to make courses lol

Thanks Nekko26. I have actually thought about that. And once I get the website full of more articles, I will likely go down this path of creating courses.

I have already started developing resources that I use myself that I would make available to "members" on my site.

Very true, the more interests you have the more you can write engaging posts...

Funny enough, though I don't need a million tomorrow - £10K would do very nicely!

That would be nice for sure :)

Excellent idea. Immersing yourself completely in another language is the best way to learn but does take some courage. I have been wanting to learn Dutch for similar reasons but my comfort zone is being stretched :-)

Indeed! Immersing yourself in your niche makes working on your niche website much much easier. :)
