Do you by chance have an English language version of the site? I know its a long shot, but just thought I'd ask.

I mean, I guess the ultimate question is how are people using this information in real life to monetize a site? My brain immediately goes to affiliate/drop ship type retail opportunities, but I think that is more than I can realistically accomplish with the limited time I have. Any examples?

Great situation to be in if you can pull it off. :) Hi Felix,

On my blog I focus on wordpress themes and templates for flash and nearly every major CMS. The content which brings in the most visitors for me are my free self designed and programed Wordpress Themes ;) Let’s not forget, that it doesn’t always have to be content in the form of a written article or blog post.

Thank you :)) We really do not get that many people using the buttons. I think it has to become a habit to use them. Hi Metroknow,

The 2 social bookmarking tools we use are: http://www.addthis.com/ -- you can download it here: http://blog.addthis.com/?p=24 and the one we use on this blog: http://www.dountsis.com/downloads?cat=2 (Its the social bookmarks 4.0) They are both pretty easy to use and simple looking. Share is good too, but yes unless you know what it is, most won't click on it.. but it is simple looking. Sometimes simple is just too complex as well... kinda ironic I know. Like a simple opt in box for subscribing via email. Sometimes you need flashing arrows to get people to see it. Most people these days totally ignore what they are not looking for.. so just give them a reason to sign up. Hi :)

I've added you to my blogroll btw, as trivial a reciprocation as that might be ;), but I hope to send more folks your way. I also need to get better at using the social bookmark tools on YOUR content. I get so involved in the material that I forget to share! Not unlike my 3-year-old...hmm.... :) Thanks again - can't wait for the next post. P.S. -- Any recommendations on plugins for social bookmarking, like the ones you have? I know a lot of bloggers use the "Share" plugin, but I have found that non-bloggers really don't know what that button is for. In fact a good friend of mine didn't understand how to even subscribe via email - something I felt was obvious. . .thoughts?

We know this works, we've seen many people do it and are following it ourselves. The reason we provide the niche ideas is to open up the possibilities and opportunities out there. Every one of the niches I've researched so far has had at least two--often many more-- subniches that could be turned into a financially viable branch of a business. Keep us posted on your progress, and feel free to ask any questions you may have. Good luck with your new venture! :) Dee Hi Metroknow,

I'm gathering information on a subject that I am actually trying out, and I'm going to leverage the information I can research plus my own experience into something that I can monetize. My ultimate goal is to create 5 sites that are making about $1000/mo each. that would allow me to quit my day job and really focus, and grow from there. Thus why I am so interested in your Niche ideas! :) I am doing this exact thing, as we speak.
