There are more and more people logging on to the internet every day. Many of these people are searching for information which you may be able to provide them by starting your own website. Making the decision to start your own website may prove to be a very profitable choice.
The big question is, what kind of website is going to be profitable for you?
It is possible to take any niche or subject and turn it into a profitable website using the right tools and having the required knowledge. All that is required of you is to add fresh content and your own unique twist to the subject.
What are you passionate about? Ask yourself what subjects you are versed in and are knowledgeable about. People may be willing to pay for the right information?
These are the kinds of questions you need to be asking yourself in order to find what type of website you can profit off of. You can outsource all the technical work to be done for you once you figure out what type of website you want to run. Owning and running your own website does not require you to be a computer genius or to have vast knowledge about computer terminology.
Once you have decided on a couple of subjects that you want to check into, your next step is to find out if there is a high demand for that particular subject. To do this, figure out five or so keywords that people would use to find information about that subject and plug them into a free keyword tool like Wordtracker or Google Adwords free tool. Put yourself in your customers shoes and ask yourself what you would type in to find the information you want to provide.
Once you have all your keywords plugged in to the free tools, take the total numbers and add them up to give you a total monthly search volume. If the numbers add up to be 75,000 or more, you've got yourself a possible profitable niche. I say possible because it is ultimately up to you to put in the required work to make your new website profitable.
Once you find a niche that you are passionate about and one that has the required amount of searches per month, do a little research to see how your competition is monetizing. You can learn a lot from the websites who are at the top of the search results because they are the ones doing the things required in order to get the traffic to make money.
Figure out what they are doing, then mimic their efforts but add a slight angle to their products or services to make them uniquely yours. Success will come as long as you can outwork your competitor.
