When it comes to product types, your best options are:

- Info products (Ebooks, Video Courses, etc)

- Software products (SaaS)

- Services (Web Development, SEO, etc)

- Affiliate links

The first two are by far the most profitable ones, but also the most challenging to make. Affiliate links are the easiest but also least useful in the long term.

The most profitable niches are:

- Business - anything that helps people to make money

- Education - anything that helps people to be better at their craft

- Health

- Relationships

- Entertainment

Find where your skills, profitable niches, and profitable product types overlap, and that will be a good place to start.

Then it comes down to a simple formula:

> Traffic * Conversions = Profit

The best way to get traffic is to create value and share it for free (Articles, Videos, free software, etc).

You can use SocialMedia/SEO/Ads to drive traffic to your free value, and use that to build mailing list.

Then you share more value with your subscribers to develop trust, and eventually you can sell your products to them.
