Need Help Picking a Website Niche? Use This Free Tool.

So many people out there want to start blogging, but they just can't settle on the right topic to blog about. Picking a niche with high traffic potential and low competition can seem difficult. One of the tools we use to make it easier is Google Trends. You may have heard of it or even used it, but chances are, you haven't used it to its full potential. In this video, we dive into the awesome features available to see a niche's seasonality, current popularity, and much more.

The niche selection held me back for 10 years. Godaddy made lots of money off me because of all the sites I bought and abandoned.

[@shotta809]

Lol, I have done the same. I thought it was just me.

[@mg8642]

This is what I'm afraid of doing.

[@bhalesh]

Always create site on localhost and add at least 10 articles and then buy domain, register usernames, etc. This way you will know if you are REALLY interested in something or just kind of interested. People usually research for unique name that they will give to their upcoming site, unique domain, social pages and what not. That process fails 99% of the time. Your "good feeling" about starting something great fades away and you end up losing money.

[@jonquills66]

What I love about you guys is that you're willing to take on board the nuances of what is, let's be honest here, a small segment of your audience. Yes, in the UK and Australia we have slightly different words or pronunciations (let's not even go to the use of 'fanny'!!) but the HUGE chunk of your audience is the US of A. We do feel loved when you acknowledge the difference, but as far as I'm concerned you're more than welcome to stay true to your own words and pronunciations - we know what you mean when you say 'fanny pack' ;)

Bonus video, yay!

[@Kris.Safarova]

Hi Income School. Great video. Thank you. And I love the energy between two hosts. Very nice. You can see you guys are friends. Best of luck to everyone who is starting an online business. I have been building my online business for over 10 years now, and along the way started a couple of other profitable businesses as well. So I went through the process of building an online business multiple times and know how hard it is at the beginning. Especially if it is your very first online business. Good luck to everyone. You can do it! Its a lot of work but the reward is also huge.
