Hey James,

Here's a Google search result with several posts offering tips to discover if a niche will be profitable or not: http://bit.ly/2vZyczD

Hope this helps you.

Any niche can be good with the right approach. Learn the techniques here and you will be able to find things to write about.

I'm not sure about the saturation on this niche as I have not done the research, but... I've decided to follow you because of this topic.

We attained a new puppy (Aussie Beagle) at 8 weeks, who is now 10-weeks old. He is just about the sweetest smartest dog, but he is driving us BONKERS with his energetic behaviors from his "designer" breed mix.

So to answer your question from my standpoint... YES! YES! PLEASE! Puppy Socialization is a GREAT niche! :-))

Please let me know your website, if you decide to stick with this niche... I will certainly ... and QUICKLY... support and add to your site traffic.

Yep there is competition on this subject, just like on any subject out there.
But there is not many sites who cover socialization techniques of different dog breeds all in one place, cuz they still differ - some dogs are hyper, some passive, some fast learners, some have hard time to learn anything.
Boom, if you cover every dog breed in the world, u get a couple of hundred posts on your site.

By the way, you can even learn some techniques from the dog whisperer show as well and just write about it in your own words.

I say go for it, screw competition! Write in your own style, which already makes u different from the rest of the crowd.

I don't know if the market is saturated, but I think any niche relating to pets is good. The possibility for affiliate products is great. You could discuss techniques for socialization, what to look for in a socialization class, signs of aggression to look for etc. I think its a good niche. Give it a try.

Yes, a beginner can succeed with bootcamp, but I do think its best to get your niche site up and running first because that becomes your earning base..... what you can write about and continuously build. When you are thinking about a niche, think about what really interests you. Come up with a few alternatives.
1. Look at a couple of keywords for each niche idea and see which gets the most searches.
2. Go to google and search your choices and see which has the most info.
3. Check out affiliate sites for all your choices and see which has the most affiliates and which has the best percentage.
4. Think of which of your niche choices have the most possibilities for writing lots and lots of blogs.
If you follow the bootcamp lessons, you will have a site that can earn, but with boot camp you are really recruiting which limits those interested. With your niche site, you are offering something to everyone in the world who is interested in that subject.
That's just my take on it.
