You see all the guru’s throwing all their big numbers at you. And sure it really makes you want it bad. Unfortunately it’s never as easy as they make it seem… but it’s totally worth it.
First off you have to find a niche that can pay you for the time you are going to put into it. To do this you have to look for a market where there is money being spent and money being made. Usually you can find a little hole in a market that that is your little niche… the best place to be.
I’m going to cut right to the chase and show you some of the best ways to locate a great niche. The best thing about this method is most Internet marketers won’t do it. Go shopping and look for different or interesting products. Things like metal detectors or make it’s a certain kind of dress that is selling like crazy. But think about how a new approach to those products.
The best way to go about this is to take those huge markets and think of smaller sub-niches of these markets. Try this tactic… go to your local bookstore and ask the person working there what the 10 best selling magazines are. Then get those magazines and tear them to shreds looking for ideas.
In fact I’ll give you one store in particular that can breed a bunch a killer ideas… go to your nearest Bass Pro Shop and have fun. There are tons of niche market ideas in that store.
By this time you could potentially have hundreds of different markets… but now you need to figure out which ones are the ones that are viable. There are a couple things you must look at… make sure there are merchants that have an affiliate program. Then you want to start looking at keywords and figuring out which ones you can compete with.
This may shock you but competition is a good thing. If there is not competition then that’s a good sign there is not money in the niche. You also want to make sure that you can find merchants that have an affiliate program. Finally you want to look for keywords that get enough searches and that have competition… but not really hard competition.
Remember that you always want to be thinking of more and more niches… eventually you will have to little empire that you then grow in any direction you want.
