How Finding A Niche Is Like a Scooby Doo Mystery

Narrowing down your passions, interests and the desire to make money into a profitable niche is going to take some Scooby Doo investigating. You will find that one of the most successful way of making money on line is:

1. Have a blog you can drive traffic to.
2. Monetize that blog with you own products
3. Monetize your blog with affiliate products
4. Monetize with paid advertising

The mystery is what niche will bring you success online.

In a previous post you looked at the different areas you might be interested in blogging about. Now it is time to get down to business and narrow in on what will work best for you. It is time to go into your Scooby Doo Act and solve the mystery.

What does Scooby Doo say when he discovers an outrageous niche?

Try it! Dare to be different. It works for a site Trey from Swollen Thumb turned me on to. “Stuff White People Like”. This site is a hoot! Take a look at how much traffic he gets, and how many people comment. Notice he is selling his own products.

Now you are thinking that this is a lot of work. Yes, it is a lot of work. Remember this is the most important step you will be taking and it can be the hardest one. It can also be the funnest one.

To your success!
