How to Find a Niche for your Online Business

[@wphubacademy]

We love the tutorials, Sam explains everything super clearly and simply. Thanks Ahrefs!

[@AhrefsCom]

Thanks! -Helen

7:57 goes so fast over the market bucket the contrast of speed (web vs market) is JARRING!

[@whocares7912]

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.

[@AhrefsCom]

Thanks for sharing! -Helen

11:47 What is a good search volume benchmark?

[@rakhidharYT]

loved your content, now its crystal clear to define a niche.

[@AhrefsCom]

Glad it helped! 🙏 -Helen

[@brianr2941]

I am very confident that I could literally learn to become a millionaire from all of your content. Everytime I watch a video I take at least 2 pages of notes! Would you suggest a path of videos to understand to be completely boss at starting a long lasting online store?

[@AhrefsCom]

Thanks! Try to start with our SEO course: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKXadGewosqqqdU -Helen

[@pierrelaroche]

I agree with you. Learn from Sam and discipline after you make money no worry. 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.

[@FunnyVideoFrenzy]

great video, people think that making money online is just so simple as making a video or post on social media, The truth is that takes a lot of time, effort, and daily work

[@AhrefsCom]

You're right :) -Helen

[@jjjoeyyy325]

the daily work is no joke i feel like i work a 9-5

The only guy in youtube that provides quality❤

[@dennismartensson4836]

i like this video you made. There's a lot of bad advice out there on choosing a niche. I mostly found that,if i am not passionate about what i'm blogging about, i will put no any effort any to growing. If you're passionate about something, go for it. Who says there's no profit in your passion?

[@AhrefsCom]

You're right :) If you get profit out of your passion - then you should definitely go for it! Glad to hear you have found your niche. -Helen

[@filippomursia5889]

Would be cool to have a similar tutorial but with a real product in a niche instead of an affiliate website!

[@AhrefsCom]

Thanks for the idea, we might consider to create such tutorial in future. -Helen

[@Mhlengi_Gasa]

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".

[@basicenglishknowledge3815]

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.

[@still2093]

17:35 didn't you say with potential to go up a level to sleep products? You didn't explain that...

[@ours2359]

You just won my heart

[@AhrefsCom]

😊

[@JoseSorianoPhotography]

I love the way you guys explain everything! great content. I'm a commercial photographer and I want to start with affiliate marketing and I found the niche but the question I have is, should I do it on my current site where I blog or create a new site.

[@AhrefsCom]

It's an "it depends" answer - hard to tell without analysis. -Helen

[@still2093]

11:18 what is the cut off for keyword difficulty scores?

[@roadcatastrophic7291]

Now I realized so many things I didn't know to utilizes these tools..

[@AhrefsCom]

Happy to help 🙌 -Helen

[@ChrisProutyVideos]

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 🙏

[@AhrefsCom]

It also has another meaning that comes from Greek "pathos" - "feelings, emotions" ;) But you're totally right about "following the inspiration" - sounds great! -Helen

[@ChrisProutyVideos]

Great call, Helen....thanks for the follow up!

[@JenniferMetzler]

Love all of your videos and ahrefs! Thank you for this information!

[@nadimmia4070]

your tutorial is best....❤❤❤❤❤

[@AhrefsCom]

Many thanks :) -Helen

[@still2093]

Doesn't really explain the decision making around 5:53 of what makes a niche viable.

[@aimagicx]

Hi Sam, I have question please and need your thoughts : if i want to start a new blog, which better to use :New domain OR Expired domain??

[@AhrefsCom]

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

[@aimagicx]

@@AhrefsCom Hi Helen, Thanks for your answer. 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.

[@ohee83]

Guest post targeting any specific post or Domain, which one results better? If one has a plan for 10 guest posts for an affiliate site, what is recommended ratio for domain level guest post vs post level guest post?

[@amarachimoses]

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.

[@waltroderick101]

Does Ahrefs offer something in the software that tells what major category a niche is in? You mentioned it a couple of times in the video. I am a monthly subscriber to Ahrefs, but a newbie at it. Thanks

[@AhrefsCom]

Hi Wally! To clarify, are you asking if we categorize websites by niche? If so, the answer is no. If I’ve misunderstood, please let me know. -Helen

[@waltroderick101]

@@AhrefsCom No. In the video, Sam decribes two different niches as being part of a larger category. IE backpacks were art of luggage I believe was on example. How do you what the parent category is? If that makes sense.

[@AhrefsCom]

We don't have such feature in our tool, it's just common sense. But you may try to check some larger sites like Amazon to see what subcategories they have - it may help. -Helen

Hi Sam, what is the search volume of keywords for new affailate website?

Following your passion is the worst advice anyone can give. Do the work to find out what makes you tick then design a career around that and THEN you will develop a passion for that career.
