Niche picking and researching

[Tony W]

Here's my niche research process for adsense/amazon sites that's worked well for me:

Using Google KW Tool...

1. 1600+ [exact] local monthly searches
2. If it's an Amazon product - must be over $100, 75+ customer reviews, average 4/5 stars. If it's an adsense site estimated CPC must be over $1
3. Exact match domain available (.com/.org/.net) - Export all the KWs that meet this criteria to CVS, remove brackets and spaces in excel, and run them through namecheap's bulk domain name checker.
4. Run through Market Samurai competition checker
5. Double check with Google trends/insights to make sure the KW isn't decreasing in popularity

Tip: to search for hot amazon products, use this custom footprint in Google search:

site: amazon.com "price: $100..5000" "75..5000 customer reviews"

Hope this helps

there are so many information here.
i want to say something in my opinion, or what i do.
first, i think, every niche can be profitable, if you find the good way to go, i think the most important thing is to find what you are good at, at least, interested in, only this kind of niche that you can insist on for long time. and next is to find the profitable way for your niche.

Profitable I would take to mean that the keywords for the niche are getting a lot of traffic, and can convert well, ofcourse it will mostly take trial and error to figure the second part

A niche is only as valuable (to a marketer) as the demand behind it.

there's only two things you need to consider when picking the niche:

1) the demand of the niche, aka traffic.

and

2) buying power, whether traffic are just searching for information, or buying.

then keywords play a hug role in getting you that conversion (aka money ).
