#KEYPOINT 2 (SOLUTION 101) So how do you choose your first few niches?

Make a list of some topics you have an interest in. I’d say 10-20 topics
would be enough to get started.
Now check to make sure there are:
• Affiliate products to promote
• A decent amount of competition
• Resources available for you to learn from
• Traffic sources you can take advantage of
As far as competition, you want to look for niches that have at least 50,000
existing websites. Even a few million isn’t a big deal. Fifty million might be
pushing it unless you have money to pay for initial promotion.
You can find out how many sites there are that mention your topic by
searching Google. I search multi-word phrases in quotes to be sure I get
an accurate number.
I searched for “golf” and got “About 1,310,000,000 results.” Yikes. Over a
billion! A search for “gluten free” came up with “About 85,100,000 results.”
Better, but still pretty big. “Pasta makers” came up with “About 424,000
results”. That’s definitely much more reasonable.
Don’t fear competition, but be reasonable about it!
