Great tip. Anything that helps with brainstorming niches is always appreciated. I've jotted down at least 10 new niches in the last few minutes thanks to your tip!

Thanks for all of you sending your thanks. I really appreciate it.

It's nice to know that the help I intended in giving has actually helped people. It gives me a 'warm fuzzy' feeling.

It's a bit like the feeling after teaching a child something that they do not understand and then they just get it.

I am a teacher and the feeling that you have helped is a big reason for being a teacher. (It's certainly not for the money, especially here in UK).


Thanks to all of you for making me feel good.


Knowing something is useless - it's putting it into action that makes the information useful. As Tracey's reply shows the method does work. Try it and I hope it gives you some good ideas.

I couldn't believe there would be a difference, so I tested it, and it works.

I love this kind of 'brainstorming' thing.

Here is one more variation on this theme: leverage answers.yahoo.com

Do the asterisk search, but at the end, add the phrase site:answers.yahoo.com

So you end up with something like:

"how to apply" * site:answers.yahoo.com

This helps you find questions people are asking about a topic (which helps you find solutions, which helps you make money!!)

You can also use the SEOQuake plugin for FireFox to then sort the results of the searches to find out how many inbound links are pointing to those questions, to help give you an idea of the popularity of that particular sub-niche/question.

This is the kind of tactic included in the eBook mentioned in my sig.

Great job, OP, and I'm adding a 'Thanks' as well!

i also suggest using the following...

i hate, don't you hate, i wish, how do i, how do you, where can i, etc

if you check out some forums and blog comments, you can find many questions
that are asked, just chop of the front or back and replace with *

you can also put in 'how to' or 'tutorial' etc into gtrends/wordtracker
(it's free, google it) to find out how many times those terms are
actually being searched for(the demand) then use the same searches in
google to find out the competition(the supply)

I know there's "not", "and", "or" and maybe a bit more. I'm not 100% on how to format that search though.

I was so frustrated trying to brainstorm ideas for niches. There was a thread here on the WF about doing a search at EzineArticles. The person said to do a search with the words how to in the search field. It never gave me any results and other people complained about it too.
I tried it this way and I got results! Awesome!

P.S. - Update - I dug a little further with EZA and some of the results didn't have the keyphrase in them but they showed up in the first paragraph. Still works good enough for me.

Thanks! This little nugget of info along with the Wonder Wheel option really helps research. Who knew Google had so many great hidden options.

Thank you Muhammad, excellent information.

I don't know if this will help anyone who prefers to print stuff off and read it??

But if you have Warrior Pdf you have probably already done this, and as the first page has all of the nuggets of gold it was only worth printing that off. So if you haven't got Warrior Pdf here's page one Page One of "Here's How To Use * (asterisk) To Find Hot Niches in Seconds - Step By Step".
It's sixteen pages long. Right click and "Save As" or words to that effect.

Print it off and soak up the information.

Brian

First of- Thanks for the great post. It's very well written and many people would have never tough of this feature if it hadn't been for you. So thanks for that.

Sadly I already have my niche (which is Comedy).
I will probably try to launch more blogs and websites in the future, but until then I am going to stick to one niche.

Trust me when I say that you can't manage more then one blog at a time. I mean yes- you can manage it, but you can't just wake up one day and start five blogs with different niches at once. You will just be wasting your time and money. After all, if you are planing to make a decent amount of money (or any money) with a blog and/or website, you will have to invest some money into that blog/site. You should at least be prepared to spare the money for the domain.

None the less this is a great post and I will most definitely be using this feature in the not so near future.

Good luck!
