A Niche For Free - Sea Kayaking

Posted by Paul B | August 24, 2007 .

Every now and then I get an idea, more of a brain fart than anything, about a new website that I’d like to do. Unfortunately for me I’ve got 3 websites that I need to finish, including one custom CMS and a commercial software project that MUST get done. Rather than keeping these things to myself for some point in the future and then do nothing with them I thought it might be interesting to throw it out there and see if anybody else wants it. Just so everybody doesn’t think that I’m just chucking out any old rubbish it’s worth mentioning that of the 20+ websites I’ve done to date not one hasn’t made a 3 figure profit at worst (Even the one about Spanish Diet Habits!).

Sea Kayaking
So here we go with Sea Kayaking, like all my ideas it was just down to me thinking something will become popular. There has been a lot of interest in this where I live and I’ve seen an increasing trend in Sea Kayaking for fishing in several countries. If anybody wants to do anything with this then here’s a little background info.

How To Make Money

It’s an expensive hobby, the Kayak and safety equipment all cost real money. There are also large areas to write about so content should not be a problem. Not only would Adsense ads be productive but a high ranking would also bring about direct to advertiser opportunities for the many online outdoor adventure stores that exist. It is also a good community sport so a forum could be a possibility.

As a niche I’d give it an overall potential score of 7-10, my only worry being the number of people interesting in this type of hobby that would also use the internet but the search figures seem to indicate that this not be a problem.

    Paul,

    That’s a great idea! And a generous offer to prompt a ‘make money onliner’ (MMO) to create a website on the topic.

    I’m afraid I don’t have much passion for sports and such. But if anyone does decide to go for this topic - could you post back and let us know how you’re getting on!

    I thought I’d just add that on average adsense seems to pay around $0.42 for a click on this topic if today is anything to go by. :-)
