Ok.......so, youv'e labored for hours/days/weeks/years on end......and, while some haven't been very successful, others have been extremely successful in developing their own websites. No matter what your Niche or specialty, let's see your most profitable website................even if it's not exactly 'profitable', which website are you most proud of and why?

I think it's important for a lot of people to understand that a simple website, isnt necessarily a business. Example: I used to sell HID kits on the internet and in the local area. Although I had a successful website that brought in money via selling HID kits, it wasn't the website that was successful, it was the business. Any old body can toss up a 'successful' site, but not all of them bring in the continuous revenue.

So yep, I think my most successful site, in terms of the time it took from launch-to-first sale (one day), would have been BuyXenon.com... it is a HUGE niche, and I carved out a nice presence. Another venture, one of my first, Audio Fanatik - selling car audio - was very successful, but the site sucked.

So yep, goes both ways!

awesome points, jay! certain, identifiable, steps have to be taken in order to establish a business.......and, alot of work goes up into essentially setting up the whole framework and backbone behind a website/product offerings/pricing.......it's alot different than all the affiliate/ MLM stuff I see floating around......plus, it's true.....everyone and their brother has a website nowadays, and, i'm sure alot of people have a real 'company'.........but, just having a website, doesn't mean that you have a 'company' or business......

I'm afraid the people making good money with their sites won't be able to reveal what kind of niches they're involved in. Why advertise your success to the competition?

I think that post about sums it up really,if you have found your niche keep it quite

about 5-6 weeks back a guy posted on the Forum about how he had setup up a basic website about some small lizard or something like that and because of just this one niche subject he had started to earn money from day one with adsense and other forms of affiliation.

I think that's true to a certain extent; however, a good example is the HID niche. There are a ton of HID retailers, and I started an HID business last August; sold it this past January. I wouldn't have been hesitant on tossing it out there are successful, simply because anyone can build a business in a niche... It's a different thing to make it successful. There is a lot of back-end work involved in making one successful and standing out from the others. With the lizard though - I could imagine that'd be a unique idea.. I would hope.. haha

So I could definitely see where you're coming from.
