October 25, 2006 · Filed Under Make Money Online · 2 Comments 

Almost every geek or computer nerd has a blog and what they are likely to blog about is nothing but gadgets and computer stuff. Let face it, geeks knows nothing but computer and technology and the whole blogging community is full of these tech blog, especially blogs about adsense.

According to technoranti, 9 out of 15 of the tags have got something to do with computers. Can you see how crowded is the market? Here is a screen shot below.

Okay, now what are my chances of making money by blogging something that not many geek wants to blog about, or something that these geeks has little knowledge about. let us look at a comparison between two keywords, one that is tech related while the other is a non-geek term. Firefox and Nike.

I bet most (not all) computer nerds enjoy sports, and the result from Google Trends is:

Making Money From Google Adsense

There you go, a good comparison from Google Trends and this goes to show that the number fo people searching for Firefox and Nike are more or less same, but blogs that blog about things like fashion are rare. For example, girls don’t know much about blogs, well.. maybe they know how to blog but not all of them know how to tweak the html code and how to place adsense for higher earnings. These are niche markets that we (geeks) should explore.

Any read about the Blue Ocean Strategy book? Personally I believe it’s a very good book, a book about how to explore niche market and create a new territory, a new world.

If you’re serious about making money like Darren Rowse, the only way to be like him is not to be him. I know a lot of people try to emulate Bill Gates and those entire rich tycoons. The fact is there can only be one Bill Gates, just be yourself and if luck is on your side, then you are someone in no time.

What we need to know is how to explore these niche markets, currently I’m looking asking some of my female friends on the idea of a co-blogging. (Am I the first person using this word?). Well, the idea is female topics like fashion, gossips, make-ups and many more consider “niche market” in the sense that most of these blogs has no adsense in them. My goal? Find a partner (you should) and co-blog with her.

p.s. I have a personal blog, mainly about arts and design and this blog has less post than geckoandfly.com but almost 10 times the adsense income. Now you see the earning power writting for a niche market. What are you guys waiting for? Find a good topic and please blog something that you like and has knowledge about, don’t copy and past and a big no for those Mesothelioma Cancer topic. I hate it when bloggers tend to target high paying keywords.
