How do you know if the niche is right for you?

I loved the post Jon. People really do overlook the idea of niche. New niches can always be created for a website, this is afterall the definition of niche. Like your earlier post about taking it slow with adding advertising to a new site, you are correct here that building a site takes time and one should be disappointed because a site doesn’t start earning thousands of dollars a month right from the start.

I think this is a good point that gets overlooked so much by people starting out and even those with more experience. They get blinded by people posting about their mega-sites making so many thousand dollars a month. Naturally, it’s tempting to just try and emulate their success.

I think they often fail to see the attraction of making small sites that generate considerably less revenue, but dominate their micro-niche whilst facing very little threat from any competition.

I’ve also found whilst experimenting with different niches that some sites will surprise me by growing more rapidly than expected, whilst others will surprise me by how difficult they are to get moving. Plant many seeds and a few of them may grow into trees.

The problem with this “start small” strategy to most wannabe website publishers is that it doesn’t meet the criteria of ‘get rich quick’ when really creating multiple streams of smaller income and investing the money generated through these is the only surefire way to make money online for 99% of web publishers.

Keep the great info coming Jon.

Great article Jon. I’ve never really thought about thinking of a niche like that, thanks for the tips!
