This past week I learned a lot about kidney stones: my mother has been in pain, and I’ve been researching for ways to help her.

People with kidney stones are desperate! And that makes for a great niche to be in. When you are in pain, you want relief now!

Let’s see if the kidney stones niche can be profitable.

Resources

Your best resource will be people who had or currently have a kidney stone: you can find these people on health related forum, looking for relief, or telling their successful or unsuccessful stories.

If you have access to a urologist, you can get their input as well, for things you can learn form people who suffered from kidney stones.

Possible Affiliate Programs

As always, Amazon.com has a little bit of everything: books on how to prevent kidney stones, medicine to help you pass the stone, and even kidney stone strainers to help you catch your stones when you pass them etc.

There are some ebooks at Clickbank, but make sure you either buy one and read it before you recommend it, or get a review copy.

Monetization Suggestions

This is mostly an information niche, so AdSense is a good choice to add to those info pages, but your best monetization will be to create your own product and sell it. I purchased an ebook for $39.95 without even thinking twice, because I hated seeing my mom in so much pain.

Here are some domains available for this niche now:

HowLongDoesItTakeToPassaKidneyStone.com ==> 1600 exact searches a month

HowToPassaKidneyStone.com ==> 1000 exact monthly searches

SymptomsOfaKidneyStone.com ==>1000 exact searches every month

The above 3 domains while long, are very specific, and easy to rank for. the one I highlighted in red is exceptionally good, if you can come up with your own report to sell, or find a good product you can promote as an affiliate.

Here are some .org domains available:

causeofkidneystones.org

homeremediesforkidneystones.org

howlongdoesittaketopassakidneystone.org

kidneystonecauses.org

kidneystonesurgery.org

preventingkidneystones.org

symptomsofakidneystone.org

And some .net ones:

Let me know if you have any questions: I’d love to help.

Guess what? Today’s niche was again, inspired by something that happened in our family. A couple of weeks ago, I presented research on Road Trips the day after my son arrived home form Canada. Yesterday, he had  PRK Eye Surgery (photorefractive keratectomy), a type of laser eye surgery used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and/or astigmatism. I think it’s an awesome niche, so let’s dig in.

Resources

I would say the best resource for this is a local ophthalmologist: offer him a free listing  on your site, and pick his brains about all there is to know about this surgery (and others, especially lasik )

Another resource are people who went through the procedure, and family members of those who went through the procedure.

Possible Affiliate Programs This is one niche where Amazon.com doesn’t have too much. but you can get creative and still use it (keep reading and you’ll find out how, under the monetization).

Monetization Suggestions

Adsense has very good payouts, but there aren’t a lot of advertisers for the specific key phrases. But, if you expand into lasik surgery, as well as other types of eye procedures, there are plenty of ads, and the payouts are even better (as high as over $10).  Would you like to attack the lasik niche? Use my keyword research service.

There isn’t much affilatae monetization for this niche, but you can be creative and come up with some offers for the people who went through this surgery. Think about it: someone wearing prescription glasses, could never wear sunglasses. So  once they have this corrective surgery, they’ll be looking for some fun, cool, trendy sunglasses. Create an affiliate sunglasses store on your site.

What are other things these people weren’t able to do? Snorkeling, swimming, etc. Come up with an angle to introduce all these things they weren’t able to do before and offer it to them.

You can also have a section for contact lenses: many people are researching this procedure, but are not ready to do it yet, or can’t financially. Offer them an alternative until they can get the surgery.

The best monetization for this niche would be to create a very informative site that attracts potential candidates, and then create a directory of doctors who can perform the surgery. Offer them a listing in your directory for a price.

Here are some domains available to buy today: they are all lower searched for phrases, but very specific.

prkcomplications.com

prkhealing.com

prklasereyesurgeryrecovery.com

prklaservisioncorrection.com

Not sure why I thought of this niche: maybe because we just bought tickets to go to Jamaica, and I automatically thought of   nice beach bodies. But of course, not everyone is blessed with a skinny, perfectly shaped body, and  these body shapers come in handy sometimes.

Resources

I am not really sure you need resources for this niche. You may want to follow the news from  manufacturers to see what’s coming up new and hot. You should set up a Google Alert for each of your keywords to give you a starting point for your content.

But, in this market I think your best content will be stories about feeling good about yourself. Think about the market  and try to see why they want/need to wear these body shapers, and address that.

Possible Affiliate Programs
Amazon.com has body shaper for women, kymaro body shaper, body shaper for men (these look funny/weird: sorry guys!), body shaper slimmer and more.

CJ.com & Share a Sale are always great alternatives: you’ll just need to find a merchant you like and go with it.

Monetization Suggestions

This niche goes very well together with the weight loss niche, so you can create a site catering to both. Or, you an add this to one of your exisrting sites in that niche.

Of course, you can also just cater to the subniche, which has an audience that doesn’t seem to worry too much about the recession. You can use AdSense in conjunction with other monetization models.

People in this niche are usually very self conscious so you can also include content about self improvement. Building a list in this niche should help a lot.

Here are some domains available for this niche at this time:

BodyShapersForWomen.net, .org & .info with 5,400 exact searches/month.

It’s still the beginning of the year and I was thinking about hoe to better manage my life this year. so, while doing some research for myself, I came across this huge niche: Calendars. There is a calendar for everything, and that makes this a niche full of opportunity.

I have a great idea I can’t wait to share with you when I get to the monetization suggestions, so let’s get on with it!

Resources

This time your resources will be different for the different calendar types.  For example  if you decided to get into the pregnancy calendar niche, you’d need to go to mom/pregnancy forums: I am pretty sure that would suffice, as these forums are really hopping with woman asking questions annd sharing.

If you were going to get into the calendar maker/creator niches, you’d need to find some software developers.

Possible Affiliate Programs
Of course, Amazon.com has most imaginable calendars: pregnancy calendar , 2010 wall calendars for women, calendars for teens, desk calendars, funny calendars and more.

CJ.com has calendars.com offering 10% commission, printplace.com offering 12%, VistaPrint.com offering 10-20%, and lots more: just log in and search for calendars.

Monetization Suggestions

Get into the specific niches, and create free templates to build a list. Once you have that list, it’s so easy to monetize this niche! Let’s take the pregnancy calendars again: if you offer a free printable calendar for this audience, and build a list, just think of all the possibilities for affiliate offers: maternity clothing, vitamins, how to books/ebooks, and as your list ages, you can move them to a baby list, and stat over with your offers: baby cribs, baby bedding, baby strollers, etc. I think you get the message.

AdSense payouts are also pretty good on this niche, and you can apply some of the above ideas: give away free calendar page, templates, etc. and add your AdSense code, as well as links to offers that match your target market.

Here are some domains available for this niche at this time:

WeekByWeekPregnancyCalendar.net, .org & .info with 1,900 exact searches/month. The possibilities for this one are endless!
