Found a niche! Maybe bad choice.

I found a niche two days ago and made a blog but I dont think its going to do very well. My niche is about baby gender prediction and I found a great product or affiliate program to put on my blog but I cant seem to market it. I dont see too many people wanting information on baby gender prediction. What can I do. I dont want to start building traffic knowing its not going to make me any money in the long run.

I'm not sure about which niches are good and which ones aren't, but I would give it more than two days to get noticed. I started a blog around the same time I started doing this and, with only doing article marketing for it and pinging, it took a few days for the site to really start getting traffic. (My traffic still isn't great on that site, but more because I haven't really focused on it yet. But it is getting more traffic than when I started.)

Give it some time before judging whether it's working or not. Some niches might do well, but may take some time for you to get noticed.

Thanks for that good feedback Grady.

I'm curious about a couple things. How did you pick the niche? Did you do some keyword research 1st? If you researched and found enough positive reasons to build a blog, then what's changed just 2 days later to make you think you made a mistake?

What makes you think not many want info? Because of a lack of traffic you're getting? If so, like Grady said, you haven't given it enough time. 2 days isn't enough time to judge.

There are is some decent search volume. But to get your share of some of the traffic will take some time and some work.

Looks like it gets a fair amount of searches and the competition is pretty low.

"Baby gender predictor" - the highest searched phrase - has REALLY nice low competition.
allintitle: "baby gender predictor" - Google Search

So I'm not sure I'd give up this fast.

HI,
I think that this is a good niche!
Why don't you check the competition first.
Also be aware that demographics for this kind of products make a HUGE change.

I use to run a small size PPC campaign first and check it out before running into landing pages

Well doesn't that sound fun. Perhaps you can offer other products and information regarding the baby - or more importantly- the expectant mother realm.

I actually think it sounds boring.

What an interesting choice of a niche. Good Luck with it. I think it would be interesting to see all the info on such a subject.

Hey, that could be something for you to take hold of. You could go to amazon, and see what kind of books are being sold on the subject. You could also see if there are alot of books, to know if there is competition or if there is a market. Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more

I think it is a good niche. A LOT of women want to know/predict the gender of the baby. Not everyone can have ultrasounds 5 times during pregnancy to figure out the gender. It is a mixure of hormones and excitement.

You can see all of these baby-related forums. Women discuss gender differences and gender predictions all the time. It is one of the mentioned topics.

Give it time, work on the content, be patient.

You pretty much have to find a heavily travelled niche that doesn't have a lot of competition. I use Google's KW too - I know others use other tools that are just as effective.
