If you are wanting to start an online business or any type of money making venture you should be looking into something you want to do or have a passion for. You don’t want to find yourself hundreds or thousands of dollars out of pocket and doing something you hate.

As an affiliate marketer I love talking about new ways to make money online, how to drive traffic to websites or helping others to get setup in this type of industry. If there was one thing I could say to help you get started in internet marketing it would be to find a niche that is profitable, that interests you and a niche that you have a passion for.

Knowing your niche makes the job more enjoyable and less like work, unless you plan to outsource your entire project. Here are my recommendations on how to choose a niche that you will make money with…

Choose Small Niches in Big Markets:

Big market niches would include Insurance, Making Money & Health to name a few. Health is a big word and has many, many, many markets below it.

Example:

• Weight loss
• Nutrition
• Medical Procedures
• Health Insurance

Then below those are more categories, we will use “weight loss” as an example…

• Exercise
• Supplements
• Work out equipment

Then with exercise it would be like…

• Arm Exercise
• Leg Exercise
• Abdominal exercise

Then you choose one of the above say, Abdominal Exercise. Abdominal Exercise has a number of products available for you to sell (which you can find at clickbank) and many other affiliate networks.

Now you have a niche, you can either write product reviews or you can build a information site and get paid from advertisers.
