First, let me just say that I know you are thinking “too hard”. Finding a good niche is not rocket science, but it does take time and effort.

Failing is not the huge problem you are making it out to be.

I have failed. Yes… my first website was a big fat failure. I tried to step into a huge niche that had a ton of big name competition… and compete. Well, that didn’t work.

Oh… I had done my research, and thought I had cracked the code. I was so wrong, and lost money. Did it hurt? Yes.

Personally, I have had too reel in the fast track - let’s get into “many niche” idea - and focus on the niches that I love to write about and find interesting. They are not “big money” niches. They do make money, consistently. And… they make more money for my family, each month.

They are sites that the search engines like. Some of these sites are almost 3 years old. Some are new niches that I have just started recently.

How did I find these niches to create my business around? I had a mentor tell me flat out… start with an idea you already talk about all the time… and then go deep into the research within that topic and find out what others need help with the most.

Then take that deep, deep idea and start working on the keyword research…. and start writing articles to put on your website from the day you find your “golden nugget”.

You won’t find an internet marketer that hasn’t failed in his business in some way. You just won’t! You have heard that you must walk before you can run. I’ll bet you let those words go in one ear and out the other… Yeah, Yeah, Yeah… not just show me where the “easy button” is and how to push it.

Well, my friends… You must fail first before finding a niche.
