deciding the topic/niche?

how you decide the market/topic to target for adsense income

[Mohsin Rasool]

Hi,
Well, i want to ask you, expert IMs, how you choose the niche, i mean, i want to make a site for adsense income but not sure how to choose the topic, yeah i know, i should choose the topic what i love and have passion for, but the things/niches i am much passionate are highly competitive, like self help, ebooks, starting own business offline online, self development, marketing, luxury and so on.

So let me know how you decide, when you are in same situation, i know many big IMs have tapped the niches they have niether knowledge about nor passion for, just income factor is there!

Well, i know there are some tools to help me, like overture's tool, google external, nichebot,... and some paid services like #*$!, but i am here asking you for a solution which is free like the tools i wrote, but i am afraid how to use them effectively,

like overture tells the demand, but how to analyze the supply side (again free please), how to know the high paying keywords to traget,....... i am much sure you the big guys will reply with a great suggestions!

Thanks in advance!

not sure you will get much of a response to this. What you are really saying is "what will make me money" - OK you are saying it in a slightly different way., but that in essence is what you are asying. This has been discussed many times before. Find something that you are passionate about that doesn't have a lot of competition. Or are you only passionate and (miraculously)knowledgeable about the high paying keywords?

Why don't you look at it from adifferent perspective. Search for LOW paying keywords which haven't been infiltrated by the get rich quick jerks(no competition) and you can get passionate about. Build a great site full of info and then in a year times come back and tell us how well you are doing

Or is this hard work thing not what you really wanted to hear?

It is normally the low paying keywords that make money for my site ... Don't necessarily look for big payouts but be happy with 10 cents clicks.

Develop something you can write about for a long time . The ads and money will come in slowly as traffic rises.

G is a long term play.. ( as many senior members will tell you ) . Don't really expect huge income in a short time. If you do that , you are likely to cut corners and then the problems start..

IMO there isn't a secret recipe for deciding the topic/niche. It's a guessing game we all play.

Build test pages on different subjects, see what works and what doesn't work.

Have you bought a product recently? Write a review and see how it does.

but the things/niches i am much passionate are highly competitive, like self help, ebooks, starting own business offline online, self development, marketing, luxury and so on.

And the areas in which the longer-term AdSensers make money have no competition?

The reason why so many do so well is down to hard work.

If you don't want to do that in your passion arena then AdSense is not for you.

Thanks for your input dear friends, ok i am now conviced no need to go after the high paying keywords,

But i will like to know your opinion is it ok, to write at any topic i like or have knowledge for.

Like, i have many products bought and used online, can i write about them, and at the other hand i am the student of Accounting, can i write about that too, and i have much information for self help, ebooks writing..... can i write about all these topics at the same website, how it affects?, i mean i have read that i should focus at one topic/niche is that?

Thanks again for your great input!
