Things Change
That's part of life, but change is good. It lets us push our boundries for growth and we realize how much more we can do. We can get out of a rut or get a fresh start. One of the great things about change is that it gives us the opportunity to reevaluate our direction in life.
So with change in mind here are a couple of my picks for site ideas for 2006.
- Alternative Living
- Identity Theft Protection
- Diet & Fitness
- Travel
With Alternative living you are really getting back to the "grass roots" and looking for ways to avoid the increasing high cost of fuel and utilities. This is for the growing population of people who are enviromentally conscious. One site that is already doing it is biojoe.com where they sell biodiesel products and additives. In November the term "alternative fuel" was search 13,330 on Overture.com
With online fraud at an all time high you need to find ways to protect yourself. Identity Theft Protection will be a "must have" item very quickly in the near future. A site that is offering some protection is mycredithelper.com They help you monitor you credit, give consumer alerts, and provide insurance coverage for identity theft for a small monthly fee. The term "identity theft" was searched more than 48,000 times and "identity theft protection" over 3,000 times on Overture.com last month.
When it comes to diet and fitness it seems that it is always a hot topic, especially this time of year. With 80% of women not happy with their appearance according to the National Eating Disorders Association. They also reported that 45% of women and 25% of men are on a diet on any given day. Good sites to look at ediets.com and recipesource.com for the big sites or visit a new comer at myrecipesonline.com This is a great area for a lot of sub-niches. On Overture.com the term "weight loss" was searched over 800,000 times other area like "mexican recipes" was searched over 28,000 times and "online recipes" over 8,000 times
When it comes to travel the baby boomers lead the way. They have time and disposable income. The generic term "travel" was searched over 2.5 million times on Overture.com and that was not even the most searched travel phrase. If you are doing a site yourself you need to be a lot more specific if you want to compete in this market. A great example of that is vancouverislandtravelguide.com The term "vancouver island" is still searched more than 6,000 times a month on Overture.com
You can make anything you want into a home based business. All you need is an idea and a williness to change.
