Easy Ways to Find a Profitable Niche market
Few days back in my article “Why the hell my blogs revenue so low?“, I recommended to try concentrating on smaller markets also known as niche markets.
To be most effective, you need to target a specific niche, and attract the proper users and audience for your Website.
If there are only a very few ads when you search for your niche then you will probably make more money as this niche may not have been exploited till yet.
Here are some easy ways for finding a good profitable niche market:
- Take a look on popular product categories on Amazon, eBay, and other major bookstores.
- Look some popular hobbies and interests of your friends and family which can be used to make money online.
- Take help from those local classified ads for products and services from your newspapers.
- Try visiting www.magazine.com for some ideas
- Have a watch on the TV ads on what is being sold and how.
- Visit popular article sites and most popular subjects on those sites, e.g. www.ezinearticles.com
- Making a visit to Digg.com could also help in finding a profitable niche.
- Look at Google Hot Trends to see what is most popular for any day.
- Try visiting sites like Dmoz and About.com to get some niche market ideas.
- Visiting sites like Yahoo Answers, Wikianswers and wikihow could help you a lot in what people want to know.
- Springwise is also a good site for searching new business ideas.
- VRE (virtual real estate) toolbar for Firefox. This installs a cool toolbar in Firefox which lets you search 15 places for niche ideas, e.g. About.com, eBay, Google Sets, etc. Plus it have many more cool features. A must try!

But before choosing any niche market make sure if that niche have any products to promote or not, also make sure that search engines(mainly Google) is sending a enough amount of traffic to this niche market which can be converted into sales.
I think following these steps can really make your search a good profitable niche market. Do tell me if you have any other ways for searching a good niche market.

One more option: Try visiting any forum related to what you like and find out what is being talked about the most. On forums, people are there to ask questions or give answers, so that would be a perfect place to find people’s interest.

Things on TV can give good ideas for profitable niches. Check for commercials and the type of things being sold at niche channels i.e. watch golf related channels for golfing niche.

One thing I’ve discovered is that I can sell equipment to other DJs, using a free auction site called “Bonanzle”. No listing fees, and if you complete transactions in cash, no commission to the auction site. My E-Bay feedback is carried over to Bonanzle’s feedback.
Now I’m considering the opening of an online store, expanding my “Booth” at Bonanzle to include other lighter (more mail-able) items, like special “DJ MC Mix CDs”

But be aware that not all niche topic can get a lot of traffic. You can choose niche but don’t choose very niche (niche which very limited lover, maybe only 100-200 people in the world
, well this kind of niche is excist).
Well nowadays, it’s not hard anymore to get niche. In the past i’m used to search niche via google adword external tool and it’s took a time. Now, many software is able in market to get niche easily. Example is micro niche finder.

It’s important to chose a niche that can make a lot of money. Focus on people who like to spend money and are doing so already. It helps to chose people who are a little bit tech savvy too, who are happy with their credit card next to their PC!

You could also look for “sponsored listings” on Google when searching. In that way u will know if somebody actually is willing to advertice in your niche. Its very important.
