With 2017 slowing winding down and coming to a close I got to thinking the other day.
What would be some of the most profitable niches for a complete newbie to get into as we head into the new year?
Well, it took me a while to sit down and think about this and I did quite a bit of brainstorming on this topic before I was able to compile this list for you guys.
Within the following post, I’ll be sharing exactly what I was able to come up with and I’ll be providing you guys with a step by step detailed strategy on how you can master each one of these niches to have the most profitable 2018 yet.
If you’re a newbie who is just getting started online and you aren’t exactly sure what niche that you should get into then I encourage you to continue reading as I’ll be going into this in complete detail.
Cannabis
With legalization at an all-time high there couldn’t be a better time for you to cash in on this niche and get yourself a piece of the green rush that’s currently sweeping the nation.
Nearly 30 states have passed some kind of legalization whether it be decriminalization, medical, or recreational laws with more following suite on a daily basis.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a daily toker or an occasional toker who enjoys the many health benefits of this amazing plant, this would definitely be something that you should consider looking into as a possible niche.
Depending on what state you live in and your local laws would determine how creative you could get here and what products you could promote within this niche.
CBD which is the other active chemical in the cannabis plant is legal in all 50 states so if your state hasn’t currently legalized this just yet, then you could take this route instead.
Virtual Reality
If you’re a tech junkie or the type of person who loves technology then you might want to look into this niche.
Virtual reality has actually been on the market for a little over a year now and within that time it has really taken off.
Everyone from Sony to Facebook has created some type of virtual reality gadget and the potential for you to make a killing in this niche is absolutely mind-blowing.
I can remember hearing about this technology as far back as the early to mid 90’s from watching the movie “The Lawnmower Man” and ever since then I have been fascinated by it and wanted to learn more about it.
Do you guys remember that movie?
You would be surprised at how much you could learn about this niche by simply reading up on it and doing some research on it.
If this type of technology intrigues you and you have always been interested in how this works then you should definitely explore this niche as a way for you to earn some money in 2018.
Cryptocurrency
There is many different forms of this type of currency on the market today but one of the most popular ones is bitcoin.
According to Wikipedia, this is a digital currency that was developed to work as a medium of exchange for online investors.
For those of you who have been following the news on this particular topic, you’ll know that this is a pretty hot topic now and definitely a great way for you to make some big bucks if you know where and when to invest.
This will require you to make some type of an investment and like any investment opportunity this does come with some type of risk so make sure you know the warning signs and what you’re getting yourself into before you decide to go with this niche.
Gaming
If you have been following my website for a decent amount of time then you’ll know that I happen to be a huge gamer and this is something that is near and dear to my heart.
With gaming being such a diverse niche there are literally millions of tiny micro niches that you could narrow this down to and still earn a full time living plus some if you approach this the right way.
When I first started out in the online world, I failed at this several times, but thanks to the amazing training at Wealthy Affiliate I was finally able to go about this the right way and become successful with it.
Since I’m more of an online gamer I decided to go with gaming headsets as my potential niche and I created a niche site that was focused on specific gaming headsets for the PS4 and Xbox One gaming systems.
You guys could go in the same direction or you could decide to go down a similar path.
This decision is totally up to you!!
Dating
I think that we can all agree that everyone on this planet is looking for love of some kind and we are all searching for our ideal soulmate to spend the rest of our lives with.
Wouldn’t you guys agree?
Well, there couldn’t be a better time for you to get into the dating niche than 2018.
With the countless dating apps and online matchmaking services out there in the virtual world, this is a niche that continues to get more popular by the minute and I don’t see this fading away anytime soon.
Let’s face it, there is someone either hooking up, getting married, or divorced every minute of every day and they are always looking for help to work out their problems.
Obviously, this is another diverse niche that would require a great deal of thinking and you would need to break this down to find out just what exactly people need help with.
Are they looking to get back with their ex?
Work up the courage to talk to that smoking hot babe that they have had their eye on for a while now?
Perhaps, they’re just looking for some dating advice but they aren’t exactly sure where to look or who to trust.
If you have personally gone through a divorce or struggled with any relationship troubles in the past then this could be the perfect time for you to share your experience with other people who may be struggling with the same things that you have gone through and make some money while you’re at it.
My Closing Thoughts
Each one of these niches has the potential for you to make as much money as you want from them if you narrow them down to a specific targeted audience and focus on helping people solve a problem and provide them with a solution.
You don’t need to have any type of special schooling or have a certain type of degree to make money in any of these niches.
However, this will require a great deal of hard work and dedication on your part and you will need to be self motivated and willing to learn a new skill that could take quite some time to master.
You will also need to have the right training program as well as the right amount of help and support whenever you have questions or need a helping hand.
Like I said earlier, the place that has helped me out the most and shown me how to narrow this down, find my targeted audience and finally make some money helping people out is Wealthy Affiliate.
If you have struggled with making money online in the past and have possibly become the victim of several online scams then I think you should take a few minutes to checkout WA and see what they have to offer you.
Other than that, I really hope this article has helped you guys out and has given you some insights into some of the most profitable niches for you to get into as we head into the new year.
Still have questions or aren’t sure what direction you should go?
Leave them for me in the comments below and I would be more than happy to help you out with this.
