Time and time again, I read make money online gurus state that the make money online niche is a terrible niche and that people should not waste their time creating make money online blogs. In many ways these make money online gurus are right. But, they are not telling you the complete truth.
The first thing that the gurus complain about is the number of people you have to compete with. This is very true. There are currently over 12 million competing pages indexed by google for “make money online.”
The second biggest complaint is that the market is not that big. Well, this is half true. The market is pretty big. According to Wordtracker, 953 searches are done a day for “make money online”. 953 searches a day is nothing to shake a stick at.
The third complaint is that those who are competing in this niche are all really good at SEO. This too is true. If you want to rank for “make money online” you will need to compete with a lot of great Internet marketers who know a lot about search engine optimization.
But, does the make money online niche suck?
If making money online is a terrible niche, why do so many Internet marketers try to rank for the “make money online” keyword?
Hungry buyers is the answer!!
While the market is not huge, people who are looking to make money online are hungry buyers. They are the best type of traffic that you want to your site. They are desperate to learn how to make money online. And, they are willing to pay a lot to learn how to do it.
That is the secret that the make money online gurus are not telling you about. While it is a difficult niche to compete in, the make money online niche is great. So if you want to make money online, find a micro niche within the make money online market and you might be able to tap into a less competitive market and still make lots of money.

Very true. I find that most of the top earners earn money by telling people how to make money online. Examples are John Chow, John Cow, Problogger, Shoemoney, etc..
I agree completely with what you said about finding a micro niche within the Make Money Online market. I wouldn’t recommend starting up a broad Make Money Online blog but focusing on an area within it, such as Make Money With AdSense or Make Money Through Affiliate Marketing, can still work well.
