Important ! Before creating a niche website

Before creating a niche website to start making money online from selling specific products you need to know exactly what your customer wants. For this problem the goal is understanding. To motivate someone, to sell someone, to make him buy your product you really need to understand that person. It is very important ! So before starting to creat your niche website of course you need to research the market and here are a few questions you need to answer yourself to get into the mind of your future customer:

  • What trends are occuring and will occur in their businesses or lives ?
  • What do they secretly, ardently desire the most ?
  • Who else is selling something similar to them, and how? That’s why you should research because you need to know well your competition!

So what I want to say is that you need to analyze thorougly, understand your future customers and of course very important is to know their ages, incomes, gender. For example if you want to create a niche website about games, your income wont be big, in some cases it will be zero, because you are targeted to children in general and they of course don’t have credit cards or other methods of paying.
From what I know about 60% of the persons that make money online, a lot of money I want to say, are targeted to customers over 25-30 years, that are interested in buying so before you launch yourself in this business spend a lot more time in researching, there are a lot of free tools online that can help you do this.

Blogging is bullshit ?

Is it or not ? In my opinion blogging isn’t bullshit, but it depends on what kind of blogger you are: full time blogger or a part time one.
K so a full time blogger is a person who has a blog, has a niche that he follows, searches for methods of getting huge amounts of traffic and hopes to make money online from sponsors or by adding ads from different ad programs. As in the US the standard work week is 40 hours, a blogger works 6 days (without Sunday :) for some) a week at an average of 9 hours a day, so 6×9 = 54hours of work for a good full time blogger that earns over 3000$ a month from this. So for most of the people who have a full time job, the only problem is that most don’t like what they do, but for a blogger that started 3 or 4 years ago to blog without being payd for this, only for passion, now he works more than a normal person for almost the same money but with 14 hours extra a week. In this job, I think it is all about passion.

The new competing HIGH Definition formats

I managed to see some great movies this week in two different high quality formats: BluRay and HD DVD. The movies that I am talking about are Alexander (2004) in HD DVD format and Phone Booth (2002) in BluRay format, both at 1280 x 544 (2.35:1). Both films are good especialy phone both but what I am trying to say is that there aren’t big differences between the two video formats.
Some printscreens from Alexander:

And from Phone Booth:

The qulity on the printscreens is a bit low because they are jpg, but as I said there isn’t any differences between the two formats. The press is comparing the BluRay and HD DVD battle with the battle between VHS and Betamax videotape but the current contest is diffrent because a part of the manufacturers are making machines that play both formats.
