Content Generating Ideas
I have been in a quandary about what niche(s) to get into. Because I couldn't decide at first, I went through Affiliate Bootcamp with the thought of having a website promoting WA, etc. But, as much as I love WA, I'm not sure I want to have a website writing about it or writing about scams, etc. It's just never going to be a passion for me and so I while I'll keep my website and make more of an effort to keep it up to date, I'll probably end up picking a different niche in the future.
While reading blog posts from our community members, a frequent question comes up about coming up with quality content. It's an ever-present quest for me as well. I came across this article called 20 Types of Posts to Drive More Traffic to Your Blog at NicheHacks:

You will likely be familiar with a lot of the ideas, but maybe one or two of them will give you an idea to try out. Just wanted to share it with you.
The best part about his actions was that it showed me the importance of that relationship with your readers. I have continued to develop great relationships with both readers and clients of the products that I recommend.
Start thinking about different things that peak your interest. What are some of the things that you already know a lot about or that you know SOME things about and would be willing and excited to research and provide content about in the future? You don't need to be an expert off the bat. All you need is to have a passion about a particular subject or problem that you or others may have.
Make a list and write down your top 10 ideas and then start doing some keyword research, product research, and ability to write content about the subject to determine the profitability of your potential market. Getting started is always the hardest part, but once you get rolling and start establishing those relationships and building your brand, I believe you will find your passion growing for your site, business, readers/customers, etc.
WA is something that I plan on promoting in the future, but for me, I wanted to prove to myself that the concept worked and be able to use real-life examples of how the WA system and other Internet Marketing techniques allowed me to generate a successful business. I am fortunate to say that I am there right now and even though, there is still plenty of room for growth, I can much more confidently build out a site about earning money online and share my personal experiences in order to differentiate myself from a fairly competitive market. However, don't let the competition scare you because you need to remember that it is competitive for a reason. There are a TON of products to promote, angles to take and the market is massive!
Right now, my hands are full with my current business and two other projects that i got involved with for clients of mine, where I am helping them build out and market their businesses. I also have a lot of personal things going on at the moment, including a move this week, but when all is said and done and I am caught up, I plan on starting to build a new site in the IM niche.
Stuart has a TON of great information about selecting a niche and shares some valuable information to get the creative juices flowing. Definitely navigate around the site. I also have access to a couple very simple, but useful niche hack cheat sheets that not only help generate ideas for building out a new niche site, but gives great suggestions on how to market and generate traffic for each post.
All the best and much success to you!
