    Hello Mark and readers

    I have just been looking at possible niches for a new site as a break from my 1st one.

    One question arrising from this search is: I seem to have found a good niche:

    Good monthly Google search

    Little competition

    Good Tera peak stats

    Good Ebay supply

    The only problem is there are only a handful of branded products, the rest, whist they sell, are harder to catagorise.

    A niche to steer clear of?

    Dave

    @ Dave –

    Not for me… when I find a niche that has alot of One-Off products, it just means that you have to focus more on the guides portion, versus the reviews. (You still write your 25-50 reviews, just categorize them differently)

    Instead of 5 reviews in a [BRAND] category… its a guide type article with 5 [TYPES of ITEM] versus brand.

    Keep in mind – it IS a harder site to build and may not be what you want to focus on in the early stages of learning the ins and outs of the N1Way Guide.

    Thanks Mark

    Cheers for the earlier email too! It all helps whilst learning.

    I’m certaily going to invest in oneof your rank spanker reports for my next niche, after choosing one that ticks all the boxes but has far too many products! Im still going to release the site when I have a good portion of it done, just too see how it goes!

    Thanks again Mark

    Dave
