I would bet many of us debate whether this is the best place to make money or to move on to another venture. When you think about it your time is very valuable and it should not be wasted. Adult is my second income, and I have a 9-5 job, and my wife is an RN.

I would love my online biz to be my only job, but there is a lot of uncertainty, a simple example is your site can rank well for a year...then it disappears from google search. WTF!!!

I also think mainstream is easier to promote, but like others mentioned you need to know all about what your promoting. I ran a successful handball website for almost 10 years, I enjoyed running it, but people became very demanding in which turned something fun into a job that was not making me money. New York City Handball is the poor mans sport, all you need is a $1 ball and a wall. I still love playing the game.

So I made a decision that if I was going to spend my free time online it was going to have to make me money. I hope to become more successful promoting the Japanese/Asian niche. I picked something that I liked and my wife is Japanese. She told me something interesting that I would have never thought of...that people in Japan would not be searching for anything with the word Japanese. They don't search for Japanese Fashion, but perhaps Tokyo Fashion. So it helps to learn a lot on how to market the niche your promoting...
