Can You Make Money with That Niche?

Kyle, thank you for getting me on my soapbox about niche selection. Why Your Niche MATTERS in Affiliate Marketing. I broke with convention and sent that video of yours off to another tab.

I am going to start with a given, Agree or Not, people entering the niche blogging and affiliate marketing arena are lazy!

Before you prove my point and skip reading the rest of this post, just to send flames my way, hear me out. You MIGHT be the exception and belong to the 5% Club.

We all know that 95% of all bloggers FAIL. They quit. Why? Lazy.

When people buy into the Make Money Online (MMO) frenzy, they see "everyone" making $177,000 per year on average. Post a couple of posts, and watch the money roll in. Why doesn't this happen?

Poor Niche Selection

Google is great at pointing out that poor niche selection is the number one killer of bloggers' dreams. If that is the case, why do people make poor niche selections? Repeat it with me. People Are Lazy.

They entered this realm expecting to find money trees growing everywhere. Simply "plant" the seeds of The Most Profitable Niche, sprinkle in a few posts, and your money tree will blossom into the blog.

What Happened to Your Dreams?

You were too lazy to notice. The Health and Beauty Niche that you know nothing about IS The Most Profitable Niche. So you went there. The Health & Beauty posts that AI-generated for you are like dead fish floating in a toxic river. They don't get read, they don't even get ranked!

The Lazy Person's Guide to Niche Success
(That Actually Requires Effort)

My father told me when I was young, "A Lazy Man Has to work twice as hard."
Every time I try to take a shortcut, I hear his voice - Don't Be Lazy Do It Right.

People Are Lazy - Are You?

1. Don't Be Lazy in Your Niche Selection: Avoid the temptation of "get rich quick" schemes or copying others' success.
2. Leverage Your Unique Experiences: Your job, hobbies, and life experiences are goldmines for niche ideas.
3. Think Outside the Box: Remember, competitive napping and roadkill cuisine can be viable niches!
4. Evaluate Profit Potential: Do your homework to ensure your niche can be monetized effectively.
5. Be Passionate and Persistent: Success comes to those who consistently provide value in their chosen niche.

I have come off of my soapbox.

You're now ahead of 95% of all aspiring bloggers. You're not picking a niche from a list—you're creating a unique space that aligns with your interests and experiences.

This approach may require more initial effort, but it's the "lazy" way to long-term success. Why? Because when you're genuinely interested in your niche, the work doesn't feel like work.

So, what's your unique niche going to be? The world is indeed your oyster—now go find your pearl!
