I've spent the last 4-5 months reading and reading and reading articles, forum posts, blog posts, ebooks etc. about traffic building from various sites such as Ken Evoy's, selfpromotion.com etc. In total it's a lump of information and I have created a website in the meantime while learning many of these and adjusted and adapted to the things I've done wrong in the beginning.
Now I've also spent a lot of time reading about affiate programmes and so forth for the last week (I've never attempted to sell anything before, not a product or service of my own or someone else's).
I don't expect my current website to be all that successful - (maybe it could be but I can't see myself generating any money from it) and the main reason I think and say so is because it covers too much. Has random articles, some tutorials (also random) and some reviews (also random). So my niche is well... you get the point.
For the last couple of days I've been thinking alot about what my next site/blog could be about. I have all the information on promoting my site, which services are good, what to do and what not but I don't know of a nice niche. I've been thinking about what I like but the keyword "Linux" has too much competition out there and.. well it's an open source project so not too much money in that.
I'm not really a professional in anything so basically my question is:
How can an ordinary college student (or person) make a site about something specific that could be successful?
Please enlighten me of some ideas if you could or of some success stories, maybe I could relate an idea to another success story...
