Hot Niche Pick of the Week - Diabetes Symptoms
This is the first blog post of what I hope to be a weekly series. Those of you who think it’s just such a daunting task to find niches and run with it, well, this post and the top random five niche picks is for you. Gone are the days of complaining “how do I find niches”, because I’ve found them for you, and it’s free, so follow along please and try not to mess up 
The top niche pick of this week is “Diabetes Symptoms“. There are over 20 Million Americans who cope with Diabetes today. There are also thousands and thousands of people who are searching for symptoms of it online, and a ton more advertisers looking to target them. You can easily sign up with a CPL (Cost Per Lead) program that sends out free diabetes testing devices, or stick some YPN or Adsense ads on your information site. SEO should be a breeze for this topic too. The searching is high, and the competition is fairly low.
I would recommend making a content rich information site targeting the diabetes symptoms. Be sure to include information on every type of symptom. You can use RSS feeds to stream in pre-written content, or write it yourself, which is usually the best. When doing a linking campaign, keep everything 100% kosher, and only link to extremely relevant sites. Don’t try and sneak non-related topics or sites on here.
This is a HUGE market, and a very good sub-niche for the major niche of Diabetes. This niche is truly a diamond in the rough because of the small amount of competition and the huge amount of traffic the keywords generate on the engines. Don’t take my word for it, try it out yourself, and report back. Don’t be too greedy either, just keep it simple, follow my advice or other forums’ advice on how to build content rich sites for the search engines, and fire away. This is a longterm goal, so don’t expect to make millions on it.
Oh joy… Please, no more disease niches.. We need some basic morals here. It’s like the cancer thing.
How is providing information on diabetes immoral?
If you don’t agree, don’t do it. I was just shedding some light on a good niche to go for. It’s been an especially hot topic these last few years, and pharma companies have been spending a ton of money on advertising their products, so why not capitalize on it, ya know?
It would be far more immoral if someone lost his foot to diebetes because he never saw a site that told him about the symptoms.
I’ve known people who had that happen. I’m giving this a try. This is a good thing to do.
Wesley, whether you like it or not there is a market for it and there is an audience. I don’t see how this would cause harm to anyone. Unfortunately I have lost family to diabetes but that’s a part of life. We might not be completely qualified but providing some information is better than providing none.
I agree with most — I can’t see setting up a legitimate niche site with ANY health-related content as “immoral.” I guess I don’t get that.
We’re not talking about doing a “bad” thing here!

It is bad in that you’re not doctors. If you don’t get your information from them, or are not paying for decent writers with knowledge on the subject, then all we get is more spam and misinformation on the internet.
Take a look at http://www.healthboards.com, specifically the diabetes forum. This is an excellent resource for people with diabetes.
I agree though, that for content sites there should be a high level of care/doctor approval on the information being provided. It is immoral to mislead someone. So make sure your content is from a relevant and credible source.
“Oh joy… Please, no more disease niches.. We need some basic morals here. It’s like the cancer thing.”
What a bunch of shit! If you can help someone and make some flow doing it, why not?
You have a guy trying to help out designers/developers by giving his opinion on promissing niches, nothing else, it is up to you to do what you want with the information. I dont remember anyone mentioning anything about ethics or morals, That comes down to the designer or developer. If you think this niche is a no fly zone, stay the fuck away from it!
“Immoral, unethical, depraved, wicked… ultimately, exploitation!†LOL!
Business is business boys!
I own (http://www.mystery-method-blog.com/) which provides techniques and tactics for men who want pick-up and seduce women. Immoral, unethical, depraved, wicked… ultimately, exploitation? Not in my eyes! There’s nothing better than sleeping with beautiful women! LOL!
It’s a waste of time for us to argue about this, so I’m gonna agree with what entrepreneur said:
“It is immoral to mislead someone. So make sure your content is from a relevant and credible source.”
IMO that’s all that really counts here.
If it bothers you to make a page about this, nobody is forcing you. If it doesn’t bother you, then make sure your content is accurate.
Hey aojon, how do you measure whether a niche has much competition or not? I tried ‘Diabetes Symptoms’ in Google and it returned 32,000,000 results, which seemed like a fair bit of competition to me.
Certainly it’s not immoral to create a good site giving people information about diabetes.
I think the risk in identifying niches like this is that people might jump all over them with crappy, poorly designed MFAs that look like they were written by a class of fifth graders on the short bus. I would hate to see the crowd of black hat online-ambulance-chasers abandon mesothelioma for some more common ailment…
