***************************************
Choosing the right niche for your business usually comes down to solving three problems:
Problem #1: passion vs. profit. Should you follow something you’re passionate about or choose the niche that brings you money?
Problem #2: low vs high competition. Should you choose a low-competition niche that allows you to get traffic faster without having to compete against big brands? Or should you chase one of the high-competition niches that don’t limit your earnings potential?
Problem #3: micro vs. broad niches. How niche should you go?
There is no magic formula that helps you to make the right choice. It’s always a mix of personal and business decisions. In this video, we’ll show you how to find the perfect balance between these two.
What is a niche?
In short, a niche is a segment, or a smaller part of an industry that has a community with specific needs.
There are two ways to find a niche:
dig into a competing website’s traffic and financial information;
use Google ads data to assess commercial value of the niche.
How do you do that? Watch the video to learn how.
The next step is to research and vet your potential niches. Here, you’ll want to get more detailed information on your brainstormed list of niches. You can do it by vetting them in two buckets:
- web bucket
- market bucket
In the video, you'll learn how to vet your list of niches using these two buckets.
Finally, choose the niche you can build your online business around. And it comes down to solving those three problems we were talking about in the beginning of the video.
Watch the video to get some tips about how to do it.

    All I know is - so many people will try and fail to make a living blogging. They will spend money on so called gurus who are the ones that will make the most money from courses and apps etc. There are just too many websites online and Google doesn't want them. Saying that though, I do like the content here.

    Great video, Sam. I've actually decided on a niche but I'm having a little problem getting video resources. Does anyone know where I can get non-copyrighted workout videos for my fitness website? The ones I'm seeing are not that good. Or can I use any good one I see and cite it properly.

    This video is very helpful. But it scares me a little because I have a niche I want to go into but I'm afraid of finding out that it's not profitable. I don't necessarily love it, it's just little skills that have and very good at that makes me want to go into the niche. The broad niche is "home management".

    By comparing google ad to SEO your considering all the factors mean SEO is a longtime process, time is a crucial factor I thinke reaching on first page your website must be many years old. Domain authority which is like monoplyistic competition where few website have authority. I think content is a king. If traffic is paid because it is also the part of seo and content have value then it will produce result because bounce rate is the key factore.

Be consistent never give up not because you work 20 months on a Site, with no revenue, that you will not make money after. Be patien and stay away from IA content. Make sure you have 4K on the side to help you, just for the site.

    Hi there! Let me try and answer your question :) Both - new and expired domains - have their + and -. In simple words, with a new domain you get a clean start, without any previous SEO baggage or potential spammy history that you may get with an expired domain. But a new domain requires a lot of time and resources to build authority (DR), reputation and grow organically. Hope it helps :) -Helen

Sure but i hoped you said you prefer A or B 😅 because i found it hard to decide which should i choose. if i choose Expired , i have a old domain (10Years) with low backlinks and one very good backlink but i didn't like the name that much, and if i choose New Domain, so this way i can choose the name and also as you mentioned will be a clean history.

    One of the biggest challenges I see in any industry looking for a niche is a misunderstanding of the word "passion." The etymology of the word, from the Latin "pati," means "suffering." It's difficult for me to recommend anyone follow their suffering. I'd prefer that they follow their inspiration. FWIW 🙏
