How to Make Money With Health And Fitness
I wanted to continue you on with my series of how to make money in different niches online. Today, we’re going to be taking a look at how to make money with health and fitness. Last time, I talked about how to sell candles online and what it takes to create an online business in that niche.
I talked about how to find problems and questions people are asking in that niche, such as going to a specific website (which I will talk about again later on in this article) and how to utilize Google to find different questions or topics people are searching for when it comes to candles. I also talked about how to go about creating an online business in the candle niche as well as the best place online to learn how to do that.
Well today we’ll be looking in the health and fitness niche and will look at a lot of those things and how that will work in this particular niche. One thing I haven’t really talked much about, which I will be doing quite a bit more here, is the use of AI that will be one of the best tools out there to do research in any niche which will dramatically cut down time finding out different aspects of this particular niche. Now it’s time to take a closer look at the health and fitness niche.
Why Health and Fitness
You might be asking yourself about why anyone should go into the health and fitness niche. If it’s something you’re passionate about and have quite a bit of knowledge in, why not get into that and help people with the different problems they are having. It can be a really lucrative niche to get into as people really are concerned about their health and want to do different kinds of fitness to stay in shape.
I will say though that the health and fitness niche is quite broad and so you might want to narrow that down a bit more into something more specific. There are many sub-categories in this niche that you can target specifically that can be more beneficial for people and have much less competition in the search engines.
You might want to focus on the different types of health and fitness equipment that’s out there and might know the ones that give the best results depending on one’s goals in terms of their health. You could know a lot about different health products that you take before a fitness workout such as certain protein shakes that will get you ready for a great workout. There could be a lot exercises you’re well versed in that will help someone reduce belly fat faster.
As you can see, there are quite a few ways to break down health and fitness into something more specific that you might know very well and will want to share with the world. This is definitely a good thing because if this is something that you definitely want to pursue, it’ll be much easier for you to come up with content for a website targeted into something more specific and you’ll deal with less competition as I mentioned earlier. Now let’s take a closer look at some of the biggest problems that people are having in the health and fitness niche and where to find those problems and I’m going to be taking a closer look at how to use AI in this endeavor as well.
Biggest Problems in the Health and Fitness Niche
The main thing to remember is that when you’re creating an online business in this particular niche, you’re doing so with the main goal of helping people solve their problems. You need to gain trust and if the information you share with them can solve their problems, they are going to trust you and whatever you decide to recommend to them. So now we need to see what those questions and problems are and I’m going to be taking a look at several places that will show just that.
The first place I’m going to talk about is a site that I’ve talked a lot about in my previous articles. Answerthepublic.com is a great website you can go to in order to find questions people are asking in any niche. There’s a free version as well as a paid version, but the free version will only allow you to type in one niche a day for finding questions. As far as questions relating to health and fitness, here are some that came up: Which health and fitness app helps you get the best results? Why is health and fitness important? What health and fitness products work best? How are health and fitness related?
As you can see, there are a lot of questions people are asking about health and fitness and it was relatively easy to find those questions so far. Google is another great place to see what people are searching for at this particular search engine and the best way to do that is use the alphabet soup technique. What you do here is type in health and fitness in the search bar and then add a space and then type in a letter of the alphabet.
What should happen next is a drop down list should appear of major search topics in the health and fitness searches that start with the letter a. Let me give you some examples. Health and fitness apps, health and fitness assessments, health and fitness advertisements. Now when I move on tp the next letter, which is b, things come up such as health and fitness brands, health and fitness books, health and fitness benefits, health and fitness blog writing, etc. As you can see, those examples are what people are searching for at Google and other search engines and will give you great topic ideas for content when adding that to a blog or a website.
Now here’s another method that works at Google as well. Type in health and fitness and then instead of typing in a letter after that, instead, type in an asking word such as what, where, when, how, and why, before health and fitness and another drop down list will come up that will show you what questions people are asking when people search for things at Google related to health and fitness. What are health and fitness goals? What is the importance of health and fitness? How are health and fitness related? How to focus on health and fitness. Why health and fitness is important to our life, and many more.
It’s time to talk about something that I’ve hardly talked about, but it is MASSIVELY growing in popularity and is the future and that is the growing relevance of AI (Artificial Intelligence). The most popular one right now is ChatGPT and with good reason as many people are using it as a great resource to find information fairly quickly and come up with new content much faster. Google also has it’s own AI called Bard which works really well too.
I use both and they are free to sign up to use though there is also a paid version of ChatGPT which has more up to date information versus the free version which only goes up to the year 2021. So how would I use either AI resources to find relevant information in the health and fitness niche? All I had to do is type in a question such as “What are the current trends in the health and fitness niche?” and it gave me a nice list of the most popular trends right now. Wearable technology, home exercise, outdoor activities, personal training, group fitness, online fitness and even more.
I used Google’s AI to come up with that list of most popular health and fitness trends right now and if you can come up with great content in those popular trends of today, specifically targeting problems and questions people are having with them, you’re going to be well on your way to success. Now it’s time to take a look at how to create an online business in this particular niche.
How to Create an Online Business
Ok, let’s say you’re very interested in creating an online business that has to do with health and fitness and you’re ready to start taking action, but you’re not quite sure on where to start first. The first thing you’re going to want to do is come up with a domain name for a website as a website will be your central hub of all your health and fitness related content. A domain name will be the url (website address) of your website that people will type in the address bar of a browser (or click a link to).
I will tell you this, it does cost some money in order to register a domain name and you have to make sure that what you choose hasn’t already been taken. If you’re concerned about spending money, I will tell you that you’re going to have to spend some money at some point to make money on an online business, but I promise you that it is NOWHERE NEAR the amount you’d have to spend on a traditional brick and mortar business.
Registering a domain name usually costs no more than $20 a year. As you can see, that is easily affordable for nearly everyone. You’ll need to find domain register and host sites and there are a lot of them out there and a popular one is called GoDaddy. If you’re not sure which one to use or go to, stay tuned because I will tell you about a place that will allow you to register a domain name, host the site of the domain name, and has one of the best website editors out there all in one place.
You might be wondering how you’ll make money with a website in any given niche and I’ll tell you how that’s done. You can either have ads on your site in which when someone clicks on an ad, you’ll earn a tiny bit of revenue depending on what Ad company you sign up with. Next, is the one you’ll really want to focus on as this will typically bring you in the most money, is an affiliate program.
An affiliate program is something that a company, let’s say Amazon for example, has that will allow you to earn money on products that are sold through their website. Now you’ll only get a percentage of that sale, but the percentages can vary between companies. Let’s say you know which smart watch is the best for tracking exercises and you know Amazon usually has great deals on them. If you’re accepted into their affiliate program, you’ll get a special link to put on your site and if someone clicks on that link and buys that product, you’ll get a commission.
Some affiliate programs offer affiliate commissions as high as 75% and some as low as 1%. Obviously you want something that gives a higher percentage of commission, but I will tell you that the higher priced the product is that you’re promoting as well as having a high commission rate, the more money you’ll be able to take in. Let’s say you promote a product on your site by reviewing it and say that it will help you immensely with fitness and the product sells for $1,000. Let’s say you get a 25% commission rate. That’s $250 you’ll get for each sale of that particular product. That’s how affiliate marketing works.
It’s now time to take a look at where you can learn to put this all together and create a thriving online business in the world of affiliate marketing and yes there is pretty much a one stop shop for all that you need in order to build your foundation and start moving forward and that’s what I’ll talk about.
