Let's Talk - Where Are You With Your Online Business?

Wow Lynn!!

This is a great site!! I am so glad I found this. I have been reading various articles of yours for the past few hours. I wish I had found this site before spending an arm and a leg on a course. ( well, two arms and a leg-and-a-half, considering my current budget )

Thanks for your reply above. I will definitely go through that niche choosing exercise. Before doing that though, I could tell you that my choices so far are: 1) I could write ebooks, or other material about spirit / consciousness / etc... 2) I could sell music, as mp3 download albums on Amazon, or actual CDs... 3) I could write about vegan recipes / green smoothies / healthy yummy food... Now to see how I feel after doing the niche choosing... maybe there will be other possibilities, or maybe I will pick one of those.

Anyway thanks again for the great site. Now off to the exercise.

I'm doing OK, but should be doing better. I've made a couple bucks, but need to tweak things to make higher percentages. I'm using Amazon affiliate (for the reviews) and google adsense (info articles) for generating profits. I'm getting a few hundred clicks/month for Amazon, but only about 1% conversion. As for adsense, the CTR is below 1%.... I realize every site is different for these things, and I know I need to experiment more. I just don't really know where to start.

I'm glad you're enjoying the ClickNewz content

I think you'll find the Niche Selection Exercise really opens up a lot of options you may not have considered before. I look forward to hearing what you choose!

Hi Tom,

Is this the site you're referring to: http://motocrosshideout.com ?

You are welcome to start a new thread - or I can just move this post and create a new thread for you, if you would like feedback & advice on your site & conversions.

Hi Lynn,

I found you in a blogpost titled "50 Most Influential People In Blogging 2010" at IncomeDiary.com. I visited your blog and decided to join your forum as I feel like I've found a place where I will learn a lot on affiliate marketing to make progress with my sites.

I'm now reading your posts and look forward getting to know more about the forums and people here.

Welcome Jervisbay! I look forward to getting to know you.

Hello Everyone,

I am a newbie and I am still searching for a niche. I have so many in my mind, however, I'm afraid to make a move. Did any of you have trouble making a decision on your site? Any advice or guidance on how to choose a niche, would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome Deanna! Here is a great blog post by Lynn on how to choose a niche. Once you read that let us know what you think. Happy to help brainstorm if you want to share your ideas here on the main forum. If you prefer not to share publicly Lynn has an elite brainstorming group here that is not searchable so you can freely work on ideas on the 'inside'.

As for my personal opinion on choosing a niche? I would choose something that you enjoy or have an interest in to start. It will be much easier to build a niche site/blog around that as a beginner.

It’s not so good at the moment but I’m sure I will catch up again.

I'm still going round and round with traffic. That ppc is driving me insane! I do blog, but my website is not getting much action! Only a few clicks---no sales! How many blog posts do you suggest I make in a week?
