More Ideas For Niche Websites
Skip | 25 February, 2005 19:14
These websites and ideas just keep coming to me. I wonder if it's the Big Guy's way of sending me a signal?
Today, I learned of yet another website that could be an excellent source for identifying and locating niche markets for you to build a website around.
Go to polling report and get a pulse of what people think and what is in the news.
Building a website around current events and topics is an excellent way to "get in front of the parade". When topics are hot in the news, in blogs and showing up at places like Polling Report, you know you can get traffic to the website.
The only questions you would have to answer is: would that traffic be profitable? Do I have a passion for that topic / niche? Are there products that could profitably be sold to that niche?
Answer those questions and you'll be surprised how much easier it is to generate ideas for new websites.
Have a great weekend.

Like you said the big question is what products or services could one sell that relate to the big stories, Terry Shiavo, Ten Commandments, Etc.. I think one could easily come up with dozens if you just put your mind to it.

I agree, this can be profitable. One other consideration is your passion for the topic. As David said, you have to consider related selling items. I think your passion for the subject is vital to the success of the site. If you aren't interested in the topic, you aren't going to stay on it very long. Very rarely does someone setup a site, with no enjoyment or knowledge for the topic itself, and walk away with money. I think it's possible, but it is rare. I guess in that case the person enjoys building the sites and the business development end, and then moving onto the next thing. I know I couldn't do that, I like to build around things I know and love.
