Criticism does not equal hatred and just because there are BANS sites built around GTA4 doesn’t mean they will convert well.

Just because someone disagrees with Zac about one thing doesn’t mean there is hatred toward him or his business. Not everyone feels that everything Zac says should be blindly accepted, I suppose.

Yet another great post on how you can take every day buzz and a hot (now) niche and capitalize on it. I enjoy reading your tips Zac and surprised at the level of pushback (hate) you are getting from some of the more “comic”-centric readers. Your blog is about being oppurtunistic about making money online and finding and taking advantage of niches in the market - no matter how small or how fleeting. I think you do it very well here. I wonder how may BANS sites there are around Grand Theft Auto IV?

A very good idea here Zach, especially with two sequels announced..Bloggers should be latching onto the Marvel and other comics niche if they are familiar with it, makes for a smart blog idea…

Cool, keep me updated. The IronMans Build a Niche Site was never planned to be something amazing… maybe in time, but for now just a simple case study on how to quickly throw a site up and take a jab at an existing niche.

I agree with the point that you need to enjoy what you’re marketing when you’re operating niche sites; absolutely.

I’ve been collecting comics since 1985, so I’ve seen a lot of things happen in that industry. I’ve read for fun, and I’ve been a speculator. I’m not an industry expert, but I’m not a casual reader. I’m not saying that your site absolutely will not make you any money, and your point that you never said you would make thousands off Iron Man is taken. I’m definitely interested in seeing what you can do with this. I’m also planning a comics-related site, but it’s going to be more community oriented than putting up a BANS site and pulling in eBay data.

I have to commend you on snagging that domain name - I can’t believe that wasn’t snapped up years ago, it’s awesome.

I’ve been writing a lot about “niche markets” lately… and one of the major points to success in a niche market is to enjoy what you are marketing. I collect comics and have been buying them for years. I also have other comic sites in the works and will have a network of them and this will be one of them.

I don’t expect to make thousands of dollars off “IronMan” by simply throwing a site up. I have fun making it and whatever happens is all profit and gravy. The goal is to target to any high end comic buyers out there, if any of them come along and buy old IronMan comics for a few bucks… all the better. There are a ton of ways to market around IronMan… I chose comics.

Nothing thin about this article, I am pointing out how to focus on niche markets and having fun in the process.
