Most Profitable Websites

Now that 2010 is under way you may be considering what websites will prove profitable for affiliates in the coming year.

Whilst it’s true to say that niches come and go there are also some die-hard niches that continue to perform no matter what the economic condition is, and no matter what your site is about.

A few such niches are:

fitness and health, online dating, online games, making money online

You may well ask why these niches continue to perform in fact it seems like a bit of a paradox really but let’s take a closer look at the reasons these websites perform so well.

The fitness and health niche is largely down to the ‘baby boomers’ who are now in middle age if not entering their senior years. This group of people have residual cash since their own offspring have left home and mortgages are all paid up. In particular this group of people are happy to spend their cash on staying as young as possible with nutrition, exercise and a generally healthy lifestyle.

Online dating continues to soar as a way of meeting new friends and lifelong partners. In fact it has been said that in the next 5-10 years this will become the preferred way of meeting a potential partner simply because of the ability to search for the exact type of person you would like to meet.

Online games are a firm favourite with the increasing number of homes with pc’s. The inclusion of ICT as part of the national school curriculum as young as the age of 5 has also increased the number of younger people using online games by way of entertainment.

Making money online continues to be a mainstay particularly in the current economic climate. Many households are seeking ways to make an extra few hundred dollars each month whilst others seek to escape the rat race completely. Their first port of call is online with thousands upon thousands of money-making opportunities.

The golden nugget here is not to dive into these niches blindly. They are immensely profitable but they are also highly competitive and if you don’t do your research you will get ‘eaten up’.

Your aim should be to research each niche and try to find a small sub niche within one of them that has a demand. You can easily find the most profitable sites this way.

An example of this might be to look at online games and focus on one game and one aspect of that game. As long as there is a demand for that product you will profit but remember to do your research before you setup your website.

And the same holds for any niche that you want to enter as an affiliate to create your profitable website.

Use Google as your first port of call and do a search on your chosen sub niche. If you can find other affiliates promoting that product regularly it’s a good indicator that the niche is profitable.

Time spent doing a little research in the beginning will reward you handsomely with affiliate profits.
