So it’s been a little over a month since I started this internet marketing thing, or trying to rather.  I still have yet to make a sale, the only income I’ve had (which is still virtual until I get to $100) is via adsense.  I’m not sure if it’s the niche I’m in, my horrible site design or what.  But obviously I need to change something.

I figure it has to do with the niche I chose simply because a friend of mine was having much luck with it.  It’s something I have absolutely ZERO interest in, so anything I write on the subject is almost entirely fluff.  I’ve been having trouble coming up with a niche people spend money in that I’m also interested in though.  I think it’s because I’m such a cheap-skate I always find ways around paying for just about everything.

I guess I could also try some sort of drop-shipping methods rather than all this affiliate business.  The products they have to promote on most of these networks markets are so saturated already its pretty ridiculous.  I’d have better luck coming up with my own products I think.  These markets are simply over-run with every other guy/girl out there, like me, trying to make a buck.

Even the competition for this one low-result key phrase I’m going for is insane, I have like 40 articles out there and at least 200 backlinks from decent PR pages and I’m still on page 3 of the search results…

That is pretty insane, even the SERP’s for this site, my own personal site suffer from the google-dance constantly.  I don’t know if it’s all the lawyers with my personal name jockeying for the number one position or if Google changes their algorithm that much.

Time to find something else.  If you have any ideas for a new niche you should comment below.
