FAQ: I just watched a video by (brand name guru) and he says there are only three niches that will produce profit on the web: business, dating and health/fitness. What’s your take on this?

Also, I know very little about affiliate marketing and have never done it. Can I be profitable with Goobert using Wordpress?

Answer: Yes, those are highly effective categories, but they’re also highly competitive. Your offer would need to shine like the North Star in a crowded night sky. That means getting good at PPC, SEO, all forms of marketing and the science of advertising.

You’ll also need to convert that traffic into paying customers. So unless you’ve got the sales and persuasion skills, and the biz smarts, why join that fight?

Proclaiming such a statement, “there are only three niches that will produce profit on the web” is stupid and irresponsible, no matter who said it. Perhaps those are the only markets they could succeed in.

3) They figured out how to monetize it.
