Ten Hot Topics That Can make You Money

Quite a few members of Nick-James.com have been asking me recently about the resession, market demand... and what are good products to sell right now. Here's what I tell them: Here are 10 topics that you can make the most amount of money with - Even during a resession.

(I know that because these topics are already making people millions.)

The list is not in any particular order. One is not necessarily better than any other, apart from number one on the list, which IS my favourite.

Hot Topic 1 - Money-Making Information

This is a huge market place. Not only are there millions of buyers, but there are a thousand and one topics to write about.

Here are a few suggestions, so you get the idea: mail order; photography; the internet; holiday property; car boot and garage sales; buying and selling; organising events and parties; wedding planners, home publishing, franchises etc.

In other words, it's all the different ways people can make money.

Hot Topic 2 - Money-Saving Information

Remember my booklet on how to get free advertising? It was such a winner, because it explained how anyone could save thousands of pounds in advertising.

People want to save money whether it's on travel, food, cars, almost everything they do.

Topic ideas: cut your grocery bill in half; cheap quality holidays; cut-price travel tips; cut-price property deals; how to live a rich lifestyle on an average income; save with our monthly super-deals.

Hot Topic 3 - Any Good 'How-To' Information

This is SO popular. Any title that begins with 'How To' is a sure-fire winner, so long as the topic is popular. For instance: how-to build your own house; how-to cook hamburgers 101 different ways; how to write your family history; how to teach your baby to read; how to make money; how to make wine; how to solar heat your home.

The possible how-to topics list is huge. They have always been popular and they probably always will be.

Hot Topic 4 - Health Information

This is becoming bigger and bigger. Millions of people are looking for alternative ways to protect their health or to overcome illness.

Many people are disenchanted with the health system and are even travelling to other European countries for treatment, rather than attend a hospital in the UK.

Topic ideas: directory of the best hospitals across Europe; Chinese herbal remedies; Shiatsu; the twelve health centres in your body; the book of yoga; the perfect body; think yourself 10 years younger; acupuncture; diet books.

Hot Topic 5 - Computers

Anything related to the computer, obviously, is hot. That's doubly so if it's the Internet. There are still many people confused about broadband and wireless. With the advent of digital and hi-definition TV making analogue TV's obsolete there will be a big market for people needing help on how to link up all of their entertainment ensemble.

Topic ideas: software directory; the Internet; buying and selling on ebay; linking your home entertainment; the digital age and how to get the best from it; making money with internet products; the bite-size computer task book; earn a fortune with computer games; be a PC trouble-shooter.

Hot Topic 6 - Information For Senior Citizens

The number of senior citizens is rising dramatically, mainly because people are living longer, healthier and more active lives. This is a huge and quite wealthy market place, and this can relate to health, too, because seniors are interested in health.

They're also interested in getting bargains. They're interested in travel. They're interested in finding vacation spots and new places to live.

Topic ideas: holidays for the over-50's young at heart; cut-price travel in style; 101 cake recipes for the grandchildren; 101 leisure activities; the top hotels in Europe; clubs and courses; bargain holidays; selling up and living abroad; investing wisely.

Hot Topic 7 - Gambling

This is big! Gambling is huge in the UK with the advent of super casinos, on-line poker and so on. In America it's not just in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Reno, or Tahoe, but all Indian gambling sites, hundreds and hundreds of them across the nation.

There is horse and dog racing. People are into gambling whether it's good for them or not at an unprecedented number.

Topic ideas: how to beat the black jack tables; how to beat roulette; how to win at the dogs; the lottery numbers system; how to run your own horse-racing syndicate; the scratch-card winners; how to win at Texas hold 'em poker.

Hot Topic 8 - Personal Relationships

This is a very big topic because there are something like 60 million singles in the United States alone. With the Internet you have access to a worldwide audience.

Topic ideas: how to have a happy marriage; how to find your soul mate; how to single out the special person in your life; how to win friends; understanding teenagers; how to keep the peace with your mother-in-law.

Hot Topic 9 - Investment Information

Topic ideas: manuals on stocks; mutual funds; bonds; investing in the future; how to make money on the stock market; buying and selling property; spread-betting on financial indices.

Hot Topic 10 - The Unusual

This is anything that's unusual or bizarre. This covers a wide variety of things from survival information (look at the people making a fortune scaring the daylights out of other people) to things as wild as flying saucers and alien visitations. I know of a company that is making money hand over fist with this. For a very good example of the unusual, check out www. flea-circus.com.

Topic ideas: teach your dog to sing; my night with an alien; scary stories; ghosts are real; how to be totally self-sufficient; grow your own insect-spray-free vegetables; organic gardening; how to eat for free; 101 uses for vinegar; how to talk to your cat; the hitch-hiker's guide around the world etc.

So, that's my list of the top ten things.

There are many more things you can make money with, but give those some consideration because these ten topics are million pound topics.
