The competition for those common niches are fierce, so your best bet would be to help those promoting competitive business opportunities with ways to succeed, so here are 3 tips you can use to stop digging for gold and start selling shovels instead:

1. Content – to earn an income online and succeed providing quality content is vital to that success.  Most people use the Internet to find information, so content is an asset.  Writing articles and converting those articles into multiple fronts of educational material can help you help others promote their business.

Tip – write a handful of articles and submit them to article directories then use those same articles to create a podcast, PDF min-report or video.  In other words use your content to build traffic and multiple streams of income by helping others succeed.

2. Coaching – if you are good with people it is very important to take advantage of that.  You can stand out from the crowd by offering a hands-on approach helping others succeed.  You may have a wealth of knowledge but have difficulty putting it all on paper.  Well, why not set up online or off line meetings to help others with their struggles?

Tip – offer people a free online consultation so you can get a better feel of what the person needs and at the same time they get to know you better and hopefully trust you enough to invest their money on your products and services in the future.  If they live locally set up a face-to-face meeting with them.

3. Marketing Tools – this is my favorite because I found it easier to provide marketing tools to help people with their business.  Every Internet marketer needs various online tools to help their Internet business run smoothly so I chose this path to making money online.

Tip – there is no sense in trying to reinvent the wheel at the beginning by creating your own marketing tools because there are plenty of reliable services that provide excellent marketing tools you can promote to earn commission and also use to grow your own Internet business.
