A good niche market has a large number of people who have a common need and purchasing power. Ideally, the niche market should have at least 25K global searches per month.  If the market is too small, there is not enough room for you to scale up in the future. For example, weight loss is a niche market in high demand.  How to make money on the Internet is also a hot niche.  Clickbank, paydotcom.com and Google search are great places for you to do niche researches.

• Build your website.

• Driving traffic to your website

Traffic is one of the critical components of your online business.  No traffic means no business.  There are two types of traffic – paid traffic and organic traffic.  Use search engine optimization and social media marketing to generate organic traffic.  Once you have built a landing page, you can test it with paid traffic.  Running solo ads is an easy and effective way for beginners to start with.  Then you can explore PPC, PPV, CPA, etc.
