I absolutely LOVE Dogs!! I have 2 rescue dogs currently and have found some great wholesalers who also offer affiliate marketing for their products. I had a dog section in my online store as well. I am excited to talk about dogs as well as maybe something medical to incorporate products since I practice Emergency Medicine, I have come across ALOT of things in my career and I am a big advocate on screening for preventable disease conditions and illnesses.

I just went through the registration process with Amazon to sign up for their affiliate program, and it was relatively painless! My niche is basically readiness gear. I am an ex-green beret, and a subject matter expert on readiness by profession, so thought... too easy!

I have field tested everything imaginable when it comes to gear that most would consider "roughing" in environments deprived of modern necessities like electricity, running water, etc. My specialty was in radio communications so I was thinking about products along those lines as well. It's kind of late in the hurricane season to jump on that band wagon for those that live on the east and gulf coasts, but there are plenty of "disaster" seasons year round nationwide that I can market to for folks interested in family readiness/emergency kits for the home.

So what do you think? Is this a viable niche market for someone with my background?

I already had a couple of niches in mind so I almost didn't watch the video but I decided that if I'm going to take advantage of the training opportunities here that I will not cut corners. Now I'm so glad that I did not skip the video! I learned a lot about finding affiliate programs within my niches. I have decided to go into 12 step recovery products and exercise and fitness. Two of the things I am very passionate about. And I now also have ideas (from watching the video) of a few more areas I may go into after I get these up and running. Thank you so much for everything so far!

I am still baffled of what a "Niche" is. I have watched the videos numerous of times.and still I am having difficulties understanding the whole concept of a "Niche". The videos Choosing Your Direction-It starts with a "Niche" was a good video, but when it was over I was scratching, saying to myself....What did I missed? I am not stupid or am I? Lol. Would someone please break down this concept to me in simpler terms as though I am a 2 years so I may have a better grasp of it. Don't be afraid to draw a diagram or/add numbers to show the definition meaning of a "Niche". LOL, I would truly appreciate any ones help please.

Thank you

I still not sure on which direction i would like to narrow my niche, I have some ideas. Since i have and military background i was thinking something to do with military supplies ie guns and ammo, I also am an electrician by trade and was thinking about devices that us radio frequencies to control your lights in both residential and commercial applications and even voice command devices like alexa or google applications. I also have a passion for gamefowl and was thinking about chicken supplies, ie cups and vitiams. I have to narrow it down, ill sleep on it and see.

I am thinking about Smart Home Products, I love technology and gadgets like roombas/smart locks/smart doorbell cameras and such and use them in my house. I also know a fair about Airbnb as I have hosted for almost a year now.

But I am thinking of starting with a micro niche in doorbells.

My eyes are opened though, I was blinded by Amazon and just the little bit of of the course I've been through so far shows me the potential for other affiliate offers with far greater earnign potential. I especially like presenting the clear choice to the consumer in the supplement video showing amazon/bodybuilding.com/and whatever 3rd choice with prices listed. Very cool

Good Morning,

I have multiple ideas for a niche but the ONE I live and know the most about is the Automotive Field.

But this is very broad and I have done every position available and know parts, accessories, service, sales, tires, etc etc.

I need help dialing it in, would I do maintenance parts? Or do I go further into just air filters. This is the problem I am having choosing. (Overthinking it). How far do I dial in the niche?


And Second Question,

How does the boot camp niche work? I have what they call the gift of gab and people listen and follow my direction. I know I am great at promoting and marketing ideas and creating a following. Is that what the boot camp is about with "Making Money Online" niche. Please let me know.

I would like to choose one way or the other and then will move forward. Give me some incite to help me on making a decision.

Thank you,

Scott

Before I get serious about picking a niche, I have a couple of practical questions.

1) My number one choice right now is to create a blog dedicated to a popular game. Millions of people play it. The creators of the game sell items that appear inside the game, and have an affiliate program. However, I'm nervous about copyrights/trademarks/infringements. I know that when profit is in the mix, there are restrictions around what a person can post. Am I in the clear posting screenshots of a game I play, talking about its mechanics, etc.? Or should I tread carefully around using an existing product as my niche?

2) Similarly--are there common rules around borrowing images from your affiliate source? Let's say I want to promote a stuffed penguin sold by Awesome Stuffed Toys R Us. After I join their affiliate program, can I take images off their website and post it on my own in an effort to promote their product? Do all affiliate programs have slightly different rules around this, or do they all tend to be the same?

I'd just like to take the temperature on these types of issues up front, because that will help me make a smarter choice as I find my niche. Thanks for any help!

I want to find a niche within some type of Technology category and I was thinking more towards cell phones or laptops. I know a lot about Android cell phones and I know a lot about computer hardware and computers in general and I know that most people buy laptops over a desktop. But you narrow it down for computers laptops specifically I was thinking maybe hard drives and for Android phones I haven't really narrowed it down what could possibly be some aspects of Android cell phones I could narrow it down to?

Last year I had a Website but got so stuck on my Niche,I wish I had this support then I just couldn’t make up my mind I’ve done a bit of research, I’m doing Fashion but Shoes Underwear and Outerwear So it’s Under and Over for me I’m Dyslexic so any thing I write could come out weird but I’m Sincere my Analytics Show That Shoes are my Highest interactivity on Pinterest followed by Grow your own,and then Fashion I feel safe with Shoes and the Research On outerwear is Growing by the day I don’t know if it’s realistic to be up and running for Xmas what are your thoughts on this Please about how far ahead do we need to plan ?

This is very helpful, I'm doing Automotive stuff,, like Hot Rods, Rat Rods and Gassers. I build and sell them. I've been doing this now for many years. There are 10's of thousands of parts, Info on how to's and not how to's . I have done all kinds of Metal Fabrications over the yrs. I think that this will work well for me,,

I would like to know why it is that you "Kyle", don't recommend that people do O.E.C and Affiliate Bootcamp together? Another question I have is can I be an affiliate to two different companies but I endorse the same product with both of them? Example: Both Amazon and Wal-Mart carry the same product but I have a website for both stores endorsing the same product.

So after lots of thinking, researching and stressing about niches I think I have finally found one I am confident in!!!!! An idea that is focussed enough from a content perspective but has opportunity across a range of products, and seemingly has a high level of searches but not much competition! I have also already thought of 30 content articles plus videos I could produce around them.... so I am now starting to get more excited - before I start building a site though I am going to move through the rest of the training whilst writing up content in the background for when I am ready to create the site. I am really enjoying the thinking and learning process, learning something new everyday, just hope I can put it into practise and little by little start to see some returns.

Honestly though I am a little worried about investing all the time and the monthly fees, realistically I think I could carry costs and time commitment for around 18months until I would need to start seeing a return. Fingers crossed that is realistic and I have picked the right topic ….

Hi Jhane,

It's fine to choose more than one niche. But you will only want to work on one at a time. The reason is that we often get too scattered and can't find the time to get anything done.

Keep all your niches in a file somewhere so you can come back later.

Which niche should you use?

You will learn how to research here so the best niche is going to be the one where you can create the most content. It will also be the one where you can rank your content the easiest. And the last thing is it's good if there are a lot of products that could be sold around that niche.

I suggest you take your time go through the training and then research each of your passionate niches and choose the one that will fill those points to work on first.

Although I prefer to work from home to be with my children, I still love my previous career. I worked as a Medical Assistant for 6 years and miss my patients. My question is, how in the world could I use this as my niche? I worked primarily as clinical back office (all the dirty work, less paperwork) and I also worked in the lab as a phlebotomist but also handled different types of specimens. Using this may also help me get over missing actually working in the field. Any suggestions/advise are greatly appreciated!

Let me first say that Kyle did all of us overly enthusiastic people a HUGE service when he mentioned that your first niche doesn’t have to be your last! I have wanted to start an online business for a long time, and I always get caught up in the “passions” department because I have so many things that I enjoy doing/am passionate about, and as a former educator/coach, I love to share my discoveries and help others. I’ve always ended up getting overwhelmed by the sheer volume of ideas. The fact that I can dive in with one idea now, and move into other ideas later was totally liberating! So thank you!

Now for some support and advice: I was a nationally ranked gymnast as a teen and coached for several years—I’m thinking one thing a lot of people probably google search that I know a lot about is gymnastics, training products, drills and exercises, etc. Is that still too broad of an idea? Or would that give me a good amount to generate content around? I’m thinking reviewing equipment, leotards/warm ups, helping parents help their kids at home.

I also parent with my husband in a natural and screen free home. I would love to talk about that and recommend products for other parents interested in moving in that direction.

Any opinions on where to start? Thoughts? Comments? Critiques? I wrote a list of ideas, so I could share that too. Thanks in advance!

Just cause I'm new and hardly have a clue, though I'm getting there, I thought I ought to follow the lead of the guy who got me turned on to WA. His WA profile talks a little bit about his interests, which got my attention.
When I did mine, I broke it down between what I'm passionate about and what I'm moderately excited about--what actually gets me emotional v. what I like to do or like talking about. During that process, I was wondering if that exercise would be helpful in identifying potential niches.
Lo and behold, the answer was Yes. So I highly recommend to those considering their first niche, to first taking ten minutes to answer the interest questions that I had, when expanding my profile.
The interested reader may be wondering what might be my first niche project. I'm cheating; the answer is none-of-the-above. That's only because, the more lessons I go through, the more I want to get really good at this, and Vegas 2019 seems like the best combination of digging deeper and self-reward. So I think my #1 niche will be down the WA way. (I think I'm turning into a WA afficionado!)
Another great video. Thanks!

Kids toy reviews blog/video/comparisons - is this a saturated niche? every parent I talk to at school is already looking for Christmas gift ideas for their kids and panicking about not being able to think of anything! But is it already an over saturated market and therefore hard to get traffic through?

One of my biggest passions is definitely Anime / Something that is Japanese-related, and as I watched the videos, I have to narrow it down to specific products (although it could be more than one), so something like Anime Figurines, Anime DVDs / CDs, and Japanese snacks would be fine isn't it? Just trying to find some specific ideas to narrow it down.

Another few questions if that's ok. If I was to choose a niche purely based on passion, one of my biggest passions, and the thing I get the most response from within my personal social media network, is global travel/holidays as a single mum with my 6 year old son. The two of us go on holidays abroad 5- times a year all over the world, plus weekends away at least once a month. Content creation isn't a problem (photos, videos, blog/text/reviews etc - and I have lots of advice I can give) but what type of product/service could I affiliate with to promote???

We also do a lot of mum/son fitness activity, again which could lend itself to fun content, but what sort of product/service could I promote around that?

Another one is just generally managing life as completely single, full time working mum, I myself am constantly googling different advice around that - (childcare challenges, time management, work life balance, money management, making time for yourself etc etc) but monetising it by affiliate marketing - not sure how??

Or am I better off just thinking of a very specific product that's not related to any of the above??

I am bearing in mind the 'start small and keep it simple' approach.

thanks all xx

Hi, I have a few of questions as a newbie

1) is it better to have a lifestyle niche where you promote a set of products around that lifestyle e.g. women's fitness fashion and promote a range of different brands (and therefore may need to join a number of different affiliation programmes), or is it better to focus on a particular product/brand and focus on that e.g. Nike (and therefore only need to join one affiliate programme)???

2) if a customer comes to your site, clicks through a product link, say to amazon, but decides not to buy that product straight away and goes back later to amazon to buy the product direct or shops around different sites, do you lose that sale? if so how do you encourage people to buy in the moment rather than go away to other sites/price comparisons and then buy the product independently??

3) Do you get better results by being the 'face' of your niche, or can you be just as successful being an anonymous person behind a branded blog/site?

Any help is appreciated, thanks :)

Hey Kyle, it's me again..

This is the first time I'm coming forward for your opinion..I just want to clarify with you since I am new in this field like everybody else.. I just want to set my goals straight as this is THE MOST IMPORTANT (and CRUCIAL) subject in affiliate marketing I believe..

In the video, you did mentioned that I have to be choosing a niche that I am PASSIONATE about, something that I will be ENJOYED building the business within (minute 13:53 in the video..)

Okay now for the record, my PASSION is GUITAR.. And let's say I know everything (A-Z) about it.. Fair enough, I already have a PASSION there as I ENJOYING it so much!

BUT!

The real reason that I am MORE PASSIONATE about, the ACTUAL reason that I am HERE in WA today is to MAKE REALLY GOOD MONEY and have a SHOT to CHANGE MY LIFE (once and for all)..

I want to take that SHOT and to ACHIEVE IT for whatever it takes because people like you and other SUPER-AFFILIATES proved to all of us here that it is something POSSIBLE to achieve in your life!

My thinking is WHAT IF, I could do a proper market research that I believe could turn a hefty-profit from a product niche that is NOT even my PASSION (GUITAR), together with all the strategies and ideas for the whole business concept that I believe COULD work (with all the related articles from accredited source/report for site content etc)..

OR

Should you advice me to stick with my Guitar for a niche? (even though there are like thousands of guitar sites competing all over the net - that I myself go and buy stuff from)?

What do you (or any EXPERIENCE person in the community) have to say about which path for me to choose?

It's just something that I want to set my thinking straight up from the beginning to minimize or even avoiding making a wrong decision (especially in the beginning of my journey..).


I hope you are getting what I am trying to tell you from the beginner point of view here..

(Let me give you a hint of MY ULTIMATE PASSION --- Is to play GUITAR ALL DAY LONG without thinking of the MONEY because the MONEY is coming to me while I'm playing my GUITAR..)

PS - Anyone feel free to give your thoughts which one do you choose..

Cheers!

I pretty sure I want my niche to be pocket pet care; like ferrets, rats, mice, sugar gliders, bunnies, ect. Maybe talk about proper enclosures and cages, bedding, toys, and other accessories for each pet. Also as someone who's been rescuing small animals I've noticed most people don't know how to find or make proper food for their pocket pets, like with my rats I like to make my own mix and supplement it with lab blocks and fresh fruits and veggies. I'm just not sure if I should just specialize in one type of animal or just stick with the broader term or pocket pet.

I am very passionate about raising chickens as pets. It is great for young and older. I have raised several of my own. Some from incubators and some I have purchased live. There are different areas to find my niche, like incubators, coops, heat lamps, bedding material and on and on. I also take mine when I travel, so there are things you need for that. I just can't seem to pick just one item. I found Kyle's video really helpful for that. So, I guess I need to do some research. I wanted to get some feedback. Please help me with this one.

So I am thinking the reason I want to stay home and do this business, besides supporting myself, is my dog. I think my niche is going to be pets but maybe more fashion or traveling with pets? I am not sure how to narrow it down because there are a lot of dog things out there.

I agree..very enlightening indeed..:) it's quite interesting when you realize how many different niches there are just in uour own area of interest..i'll be honest..i'll have a hard time choosing, as i'm a health practitioner and very passionate about the health market and more specifically nutrition in general..:) i suppose one could incorporate more than one niche eventually?

Going through and reading most of the comments and suggestions here is so enlightening. The knowlege sharing is so on point. What's your take on a niche in Marketing digital training products? As my passion lies in writing to inspire and motivate people to take action for themselves. So I'm thinking of leveraging on this to promoting digital training products for people who wants to make money online. Hoping to master this before even thinking of creating another website/niche. What's your take on this?

Im a passionate fresh water fisherman here in Australia, looking through Amazon i was looking under fishing gear and of course it is huge, i was wanting your advice, my two choices are:

Fishing Rods/Fishing Reels
Fish Finders

Are they niches and which one do you think would be the best to start with?

I'm deciding between 2 things that i would like to confirm are niches through you guys.

1. World of Warcraft new player guide with a link to all their current games available.
2. Health and fitness watches as i have bought a few different watches through my life and know a bit about them.

Hi im thinking of a niche which is my passion - crafty stuff. So I could focus on crotchet/knitting, sewing etc. I also want to be able to sell my own handmade products on my website. I read somewhere that having too many affiliates can destroy your website in that it can
a) drop rankings with google if you dont have enough content on you web site and too many affiliates and
b) drag people away from your site - where you were hoping to sell your own product.
Ie my product is handmade bags. If I was to attach an affiliate to my website - say bag hardware. Ive lost my customer..... what are your thoughts or am I reading too much into this niche idea

Then I started thinking.... of offering other people the opportunity to advertise their handmade product on my web site and not focus on my own sales of handmade products as they take sooooo long to make and I could be better off working on my web site than making a bag?

Affiliates:
I watched the video as I babysat a 2 year old, do you can guess how that distracted me.
Actually he wasn't that bad! The video was a good intro to looking 4 niche for a layperson. However, it gave me no immediate ideas about what niche. I suppose if I choose wrong, I will change it.

As a newbie, I have a lot of niche ideas, but for my first website I want it done right so instead of overwhelming myself at the beginning I will start and let WA Affiliate 's help me. It will help me hopefully to do the second website on my own. Great discussion here

Hi, I’m still deciding if this is for me or not. It’s all new so this may seem a stupid question and may by answered further down the training, so, I’m in Australia, do I have to choose Australian companies to affiliate with? How does the payment part of it it work if you are not from the same country. All of this is US based?..

I am into a range of 'natural health products' - specifically the need for us to consume a minimum of 60 'natural' minerals per day to enable our immune system to fulfill it's function of protecting us from a whole range of ailments and illnesses - 'natural' minerals which we no longer get from the food we eat on a daily basis.
This will be my priority 'niche' but of course their are a number of related issues attached to this topic too - like 'natural' vitamins (over the counter stuff being 80% metallic minerals which are of no value to the body at all) - also 'weight loss' etc.,
Just one example - I 'was' a diabetic before I got involved in this market 4/5 years ago !!

My problem is that it is a huge subject - I think perhaps I should concentrate on just 1 aspect of it at the outset like the natural minerals - what do you suggest?

I do have my own website currently but don't think I can put a link to it here which would help highlight my dilemma - or could I add a link somewhere so that someone could offer some specific advice?

I am looking for some feedback. I have 2 ideas for a niche.
The one that interests me the most is writing a weekly article (Just a couple of paragraphs long) reflecting a conversation with a women (Any woman) about an amusing story or event. This article will be written from a man's point of view. Last part of the article will lead into a discussion about a recently purchased product & give it a review. Each week will represent a new product. sThis would mean a new niche every week!
The second idea would be for HVAC product reviews. Of course I could get very specific when needed.
Pleading for your input!

Scott

I don't know which niche I want to choose lol! Here are my choices for my niche:

1) Episodic Anime Reviews / Chapter Manga Reviews
2) Netflix Series Reviews
3) Classic Movies Reviews

I do enjoy anime and reading manga books! I haven't done those in a long time and I would love to get back into it. Same thing for watching Netflix series! As for classic movies, I'm new to this realm and I think it would be cool to review great and hilariously, bad classic movies!

So yeah I have a hard time choosing one lol

I want to make my website for those struggling with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression and other related mental illnesses. My goal would be to not only blog about daily life for someone dealing with this but also to market products and services geared towards those struggling with these illnesses.

Is my niche too broad? Should I make one specific mental illness my focus and then also talk about others every so often?

The training was very informative. I have so many ideas. For one I love to motivate others, espically when it comes down to closing sales. My other passion is exercise and fitness and i love different type of sneakers, specifically running shoes. So I'm a little all over the place. Would running sneakers be a good Niche? and are motivational and and self help books/audiobooks good niches when it comes to making money?

This discussion was quite interesting and informative that I have learned a lot from all my wealthy affiliates ideas about choosing a niche. However, am in Health products business as an affiliate and selling cars and auto parts so how do I choose my niche and to create the websites

Hello all, I am exploring the possibility of making Pickleball (a new sport I am participating in) my niche. The question is, should I focus only on one product for Pickleball? or Can I keep my niche broad and promote all products for Pickleball? Is it better to have a broad or a more laser focus on your niche?

I'm struggling with my niche choice as well, you can specialize or broaden as you please with that I think, there's a bling for everyone! wedding rings a constant market, some people want specifics. Mood rings, All Irish girls love a nice claugha My friend is an electrician, his wedding ring it titanium so it doesn't conduct electricity. Maybe nickle free for skin sensitive, budget or people's right activists might be interested in quality fake diamonds.... and on an on.

I think I have already picked my niche. I want to live longer. So I need to be need to be healthier. What would be wrong with helping others along the way. I really think processed foods and medicines can be bad among other things. Listen to the commercials for the meds and all their side effects. Also the commercials with the lawyers and lawsuits against the Pharmaceutical companies. Read the book by Kevin Trudeau "natural cures "They" don't want you to know about" I know he has had a lot of bad publicity but there are things that he has said that are true, and I have seen things in movies that are talking about the Pharmaceuticals companies ment as a joke that are closer to the truth than you think. See I had a lot of time to read and think while I was in Prison and it didn't all go for not.

How did you choose? Window shop and " eeni meeni myni moe" ? Object or subject- then something relevant to that? (Example dermatitis... skin friendly option product (1 of EVERYTHING)) am I thinking too far ahead on how to encourage more than 1 purchase at once/ upsell? Easy, cheap throughout the year eg, balloons? Middle range impulse buys, eg fashion or big money indulge/ investment?
After outside research- and my own spam box

I use to have the mantality that certain niches were more popular and profitable. I see that in finding my niche I could analyze my interests and passions and just what I'm knowledgable about. To become that expert is part of it. There's so many directions one could go in.

I'm always been a graphics passionate, in fact my blog is based on graphics. I love writing totorials, even about other arguments like PC and hi-tech. The important to me is helping people to achieve a particular effect, discover amazing sites, solve a problem etc.. I have other interests too. For example I like languages and I'm learning English and Spanish, but at the end I don't know how to exploit these passions. One thing is certain, I love sharing guides with others and teaching my knowledge.

Presently I am into business as trader supplying Steel Doors and Windows & uPVC Doors and Windows In India, Can I select my Niche as doors and windows,

Apart from this I have 12 years experience in Wealth Management(Stock Broker),

I had bit confuse to select Niche. I am new to this Digital so, can one please help me in this regard, Thanking You All

thank you so much for the video. i want to start a sustainable fashion webshop with athletic wear. 5% of all revenue goes to education in an orphanage in Africa. This is where i also get my fabrics (Africa). Now im curious how people would like to see that they are not only buying clothes but also giving back to community. Let them participate in a contest on my site, put it on the labels or putting out a video. How can i bring the message in best possible way? Kind of stuck here.

Hey everyone i’m still struggling to find my niche I made a little research and from what I can see it might not be the most lucrative of all. My passions is car i’ve always been a car guy but does any of you know if it’s a viable niche to get into or should I get into a niche that is more popular or do you have any idea if it’s worth it to go that route in the car industry?

Okay I'm stuck again..... Will I ever get my information out there? I have spent over 20 years putting together information for people to use in order to start making money today. What I'm wanting to do is only share information that I've personally tested and knows that it works. So many other sites are just like a copy and paste project. I mean it's almost to the point that all of them are the same. So with that being said, I am a little bit worried. I guess my question is in this day and time, can one still thrive in this type of site?
please help me!

I don't know much about guitars but I think there are a bunch of styles and anufacturers. There is probably a lot to talk about in their history, who had what guitar, what guitars are made of, how firsti evolved.
These are just quick thinking topics and for someone who knows about them I don't think you'll have any problem.

I really enjoyed this video. It helped me to breakdown the notion of "niches", and it doesn't need to be overanalysed. The key is finding something you love and enjoy learning about. If you choose any old niche, you may not make money as you will be less liable to spend time building your websites and catering to your audiences interests. Thank you, I look forward to lesson 3!

I enjoyed the video on "It Start With a Niche" and I understand how to proceed . My interest at the moment is in Christianity, and I know Christianity is a broad subject. I have narrow it down to the bible, prayer, church products and certain discussion for the newly Christian.

I also thought about Herbs in which I know nothing about but are very interesting in learning about how herbs are healthy for our body.

The video was very helpful and should get me going in the right direction. I am quite sure Amazon.com, Answers.com, Google.com, and Magazines.com will be a great help to me along with the WA community.

#Question: I am passionate about talking about Christianity... A lot of what I like to do is answer questions that a huge amount of people are confused on. Can i make my niche this topic, I'm assuming i would find mostly books and such to sell in the blog posts, but is that effective? Or should It be more specific type of site, where I just sell specific catagory of chirstian products? I would LOVE to write everyday about TRUTHS in the bible, and earn from it.
