Official niches of mine



The Xbox 360 is one of my official niches, and this is a picture of my Xbox 360 fan site.  BTW, this website is hosted at Global Domains International.  One perk with GDI is that you can actually build websites similar to this one for a mere $10/month, which is cheap in comparison to many other web hosting firms out there, (such as $19/month you would pay if you had a similar website hosted at Intuit, based on personal experience, just fyi).

 Here is an update from one of my previous posts on deciding on what niches to follow, and I have picked a few out and they are based on my interests.:

1.  The Xbox 360.  I have been a gamer for almost all my life and I do happen to have an Xbox 360, and so I decided to make a fan site about the Xbox 360, which you can see at http://www.xboxfreak.ws/.  While there are more elements to add to the site, it does come with a detailed review about the Xbox 360, a custom store I have through Amazon.com, called the Seattle Gamer's Pimp Store and has a collection of video games related stuff, such as Xbox 360 games and hardware, as well as stuff fo the Nintendo Wii, PS 3, as well as even other game systems.  Affiliates of mine for that site includes: amazon.com, ebay, walmart, compusa, shockwave, as well as some of the ebooks on the Xbox 360.  By the way, if you happen to be an Xbox 360 fan, I am looking for people to help support it (such as linking to it from your webiste, facebook page, etc).

2. Ebooks.  I do have an ebook store website (http://www.snohomish-ebook-store.net/), which is devoted to ebooks, and has a huge collection of them, with my storefront hosted by cbproads, which is a site that offers custom storefronts for people selling Clickbank products.  It is pretty useful to have if you are promoting multiple ebooks.  The only downside to this niche is that it is more of a broad niche, and plus I have been neglecting the site lately as I have some new websites and blogs to promote and are more up my alley, and so I am thinking about leasing it out somebody (they can have full control over the website, though I would have it so that I keep some of the profits it makes, say up to 30% of the commissions earned at clickbank).  Note: this move is not official yet, but if any of you are interested in taking over the site, I'd be happy to lease it out to you (I would have to set up some terms of course).  PM me if you are interested.

3. Animal Videos - I now have a blog about animal-related videos at http://rjanimalvideos.blogspot.com/.  It is a relatively new blog I have and features a variety of viral videos featuring dogs, cats and other animals.  BTW, if you have any animal-related videos you want to share, I'd be happy to host them.  PM me if interested.

4. Husky Videos. Over the last year or so, I have become a sucker for siberian huskies and alaskan malamutes (probably after seeing some videos of them), and am hoping to get one some day.  Of course, I thought that it would be cool to make a blog all about them, with videos and commentaries about the dogs, news articles about them, and other cool content.  Originally, I have posted a bunch of videos about the two breeds in my animal videos blog, but have since decided to create a seperate blog about huskies and malamutes to avoid oversaturating my other animal videos blog (which is more general).  You can see my new blog at http://instantblogsubscribers.com/?w=huskies.  BTW, I am trying out a new blog host (namely instant blog subscribers), which is a blog host that aims to help you to get extra blog traffic and ad revenue.  My only criticism about the blog host so far is that monetizing the blog is not as easy as they claim (they say you can start earning revenue within a day or two, but it is not as easy as it looks of course). 

That is all of now, and feel free to comment.  Also, if you like any of the niches described above, feel free to support me and share my new websites and blogs with others.  Also, if any of you feel like you are up to owning an ebook store website, feel free to let me know and I would be willing to lease it out to you.  BTW, the ebook website is recommended for experienced affiliate marketers, and here are some requirements for owning the site:

• I will charge $30/month for the website (covers hosting fees, the ebook storefront, as well as my aweber account, though if you have aweber, you can wave that part of the fees).
• You will need to be experienced with affiliate programs and have a good conversion rate
• must have a high traffic website to promote with (say a PR 5 or more for best results), with at least 1000 hits per day minimum.
• Must have a good size of subscribers
• Must be good at branding yourself as well as SEO.
• I have joined the newsletters of some of the authors, and I would be willing to forward their emails to you.
• I keep 30% of the commissions at clickbank, since it is under my account (of course, you can wave that by getting your own storefront at cbproads at http://www.cbproads.com/refer.asp?id=46107, and note that you will need to get a "pro" account for the links to work properly, otherwise you only get 50% of the commissions the site generates).
• Must be experienced with affiliate and/or network marketing programs

That is all for now
