how to select a niche for building a site?

[Jake]

There is one moderately priced internet marketer tool Market Samuri, that provides some useful research functions including a competitiveness rating for a subject. Ultimate there is a lot of trial and error in finding worthwhile topic.

If you have an Adwords advertising account $10 min deposit, you would have access to the keyword cost column of the Google Keyword tool.keyword, (don't expect to cash in on the expensive Doctor and Lawyer terns with an adsense site), without an account you can still get some Competitiveness information on a subject.

I must say if you don't already have a burning interest in some subject that your need to share with others, the chance of your maintaining the need level of motivations to continue creating new quality content on a regular basis is small. There are countless half baked sites that never get the 10,000 or so visitors needed just to get one Adsense check. Any subject people are known to spend money on is a candidate, the more obscure, the better chance you won't have thousands of others competing for the 10 listings on page one of the search engine results, where 90% of the clicks occur.
