Until now he can’t dominate his target keyword, then desperate and stop writing. Poor him…

And, you can even find people in forums asking simple novice questions and on the signature, you will find something like “follow me on my journey to make 100 per day”.

You are forgetting advertising money.

You can always put CPM ads around, and if the traffic is there you’ll make money, as you don’t need conversions at all.

It is not hard to find networks paying $1.5 or $2 CPM for banners above the fold, so any site getting 100,000 monthly page views could easily make some $600 monthly (3 banners above the fold).

Unfortunately Google analytics will never be able to tell us this. It’s all relative…let’s just keep it real!

Stay inspired!

I completely agree with you. Make Money Online niche is going to work only when you have sufficient knowledge and you are successful yourself.

You are right in with this post. There is way too much hype going on and people searching for a pot of gold that isn’t there. The best thing for any entrepreneur to do is to build a niche business, develop a strong position in that market and work to build a loyal customer base.

There are so many profitable niches with more money and much less competition, that it seems crazy to go after the “make-money-online” niche… it’s similar to the lottery. Everyone wants the easy way out.

First of all before entering in to MMO niche, every one should ask a question ‘ Am I really making good enough money from online, before teach others?’. The honest answer will give a correct idea.

Visitors should trust the blogger before they read, buy or follow steps recommended in MMO blogs, I feel.

You’re right. It’s hard to enter the “make money” niche if you, yourself, hasn’t made any money online yet.

But if you are able to earn just a small income online, then you can enter the IM niche, as long as you know the basics, and in the future, that basic skill will be developed.

Well it really depends upon 1 single factor:

Do you earn decent money yourself online??

If you do then go ahead and start a blog about Make Money Online niche 😀

If you don’t then stay away from it 🙂

However, on the other hand, I would say that engaging on money make online niches are still profitable.

Just come to think of this, there are probably thousands of blogs out there that talks about money and making blogs right? But just how many of those blogs have been successful?

But what is the key?

Though the competition is high, there are still several things that lacks to most bloggers on these money make online niches. You just have to out do all other bloggers. Do what the successful one says which most bloggers will never do.

This is still a theory… But will be applying this as I launch my new self-hosted blog soon (hopefully within next month). These is where you can out do most of the competition.

#1. Building high content theme based blogs – just how many blogs have this??? Now if you can do this, you can belong to the top.

#2. Ethical Monetization – Just how many bloggers do this? Only a handful….

#3. Perseverance and hardwork – MOST bloggers on these niches engages in get rich quick schemes. But if you can outdo them if you persevere. No problogger will ever say that blogging is a get rich quick scheme. It is hardwork and perseverance in reality.

Hope this contributed well. Blessings!!!

However, there have been several concerns that most of newbie bloggers are hesitant to start with new niche is knowledge and experience. Some of them choose autoblogs instead and it is that worse than starting with internet marketing to make their leg wet first. Nice head up on this. Thanks

Yes this should be a requirement, but unfortunately it is not 🙂 .

But I still have on idea what mainstream niches mean. Can you explain more on this?

It takes some experience and knowledge to make sales in this niche. You gotta remember most of the people in the “make money” niche know about affiliate links and are internet savvy.

Another thing, if you’ve never made much money online, how the heck can you blog about it?

Then again, being in the “make money online” niche is very profitable right now. 🙂

I tried (like an idiot) and failed in 2007 to enter the niche. Then I branched out did other things and started making enough money to quit my day job.

Then I decided to come back to the niche because most of the people in it are spewing out misinformation and only make money by talking about the money they are making. (It’s like a pyramid scheme almost because those at the bottom by the products those at the top suggest and then wonder why they don’t make money).

In the end since relaunching the blog I have a couple thousand RSS readers now and am still growing much faster than I ever did in my first attempt since I actually have been earning legit money online.

I think the mistake is believing one niche or one blog is going to make you tons of money.

I am not saying it isn’t possible and that it can’t be done but I would recommend finding multiple streams of income online.

Yes organic traffic tends to increase the bounce rate. Over 85% of my traffic on DWT comes from Google, so that affects it.

I noticed that your bounce rate is in the mid 80’s on DWT. Did you find that your bounce rate increases with the amount of traffic you get from Google searches?

My bounce rate has been in the 70s and 80s, and I’ve tried so many things to get it down, but I think I’ve come to the conclusion that when people Google something then come to my site and find the answer, they probably don’t care too much about reading my other articles…

I agree that there are so many other niches that you can make a killing because the competition is low or non-existence. If someone has been attempting the internet marketing niche and had some success. By starting another business in a niche that is not competitive…Be prepare for another level of success!

Chat with you later…

These numbers are a bit high to be honest, and I am working to lower them down for that blog.

Great points you’ve made above, I actually started a blog about blogging not too long ago,to add to my other 2 blogs, but realized it wasn’t worth trying to get into such a competitive niche, instead I decided to focus on my other sites and try develop them more

This just confirms that I did the right thing

What is a popular thing today may be gone with the wind tomorrow…

Yeah that is another point.

Great point you make above.

I agree with you. Actually, I think if someone is passionate about some other niche, he should be going for that, and not just think about the IM niche.

You are right about other niches having less competition than the IM niche. The IM niche, is arguably, the toughest niche.

Your stats clearly tell that you can have success in other niches too, and they might have less competition.

Kindest,
