Hang in there, IceMan. You're brand new to Internet Marketing and you're in the major learning curve phase. I know because I was there a few short months ago. If you look at some of my blog entries from a few months ago, you'll see I had some similar sentiments. Everyone who's commented here is right on in the sense that you do have a lot of niches you can get in, your perfect niche is right in front of you, etc. The reason you're not seeing it is because you haven't yet grasped the whole sense of what Internet marketing is and what it can do for you. Stick with the training, try out a few things, and focus on learning the ropes, not so much on making sales. As you keep at it, things will start to fall in place in your own mind and you'll start seeing how you will want to approach your own Internet marketing. As you learn more, you'll undoubtedly start thinking of ways you can apply it to promoting your physical business. And, it's a good idea to stay away from those hyped up programs--at least for now. Here at WA, we use honest methods to promote products with real value. Keep up the learning and you'll fit right in :-)

Wow, you're in auto repair. Look around your shop. It is chocked full of niches that tie very nicely into your brick and mortar world. Rims, tires, additives, shift knobs, steering wheels, car sound systems, classic cars (I know shareasale has an affiliate for this), auto transport companies, plating and coating systems, car storage, car retrofits, etc. There is one affiliate for nothing but center caps! Find an enthusiasm niche. You have knowledge, you already run a like business and you have credibility. You could build both businesses with one stone. You can present yourself as an "expert". Wow. Can I be you?

I recently read a consumer reports article which said something close to "nearly half of the electronics nowadays are bought through online vendors". Now obviously some electronics will sell more than others, but maybe you should see if there is a demand for different types of car electronics - gps systems, stereo systems, etc...?

Click "More Search Tools" in left column, then, Wonder Wheel. It's a fantastic tool.

Ice-Man, I think a niche having to do with cars is a shoe in. Don't give up. Maybe you can promote a part for old cars, something usually hard to find, but you're the one selling it. I am inspired by the Corey Rudl story. Rudl was a brilliant marketer and innovator who loved car racing and I think cars in general. He started an online business in which he sold that fancy little emblem on the front of Ferrari's. He noticed people complaining that that emblem was being stolen quite often, so he saw an opportunity in it, got a resource and sold emblems online. That was just one of his many marketing ventures, but it earned $100K a year. Your answer is probably right in front of you. What might help you zero in is the Google Wonder Wheel. Put a phrase having to do with cars in the Google search bar and Go to the left column, click on New Tools, then click Wonder Wheel. Play with it. You might unearth your niche. Good tool for article ideas too.
