Weight Loss is a niche in itself then you will have sub niches such as loos belly fat, loose leg fat etc. Most ebooks taht explain about Afiiliate Marketing speak about niches and how to find the correct one, there is thousands of niches out there the thing what you need to do is this...

Find a niche with a problem
Find a niche that is willing to spend

then you have won half of the battle!

Hi...

I can sense your frustration. Just try not to get too down on it. There's plenty of profitable niches available.

Here's one way I suggest marketers look for niches:

1. Make a list of about 10 mega niches (weight loss, debt, insurance, etc).

2. Compile a keyword list on each of these broad niches.

3. Now, and here's the important part, go through the keyword lists and find similar groupings of keyword phrases that have high search/low competition.

So using the "insurance" mega niche, you may see related keyword phrases like:

- student dental insurance
- dental insurance plans for students
- dental insurance students
- student dental plans
- etc

You then can create a blog or site targeting just these keyword phrases.

Most people try finding these profitable subniches a variety of ways. This is how I find them.

And because they are part of a mega niche, the search volume for the keyword phrases tends to be almost as high as the niche as a whole, with much less competition.

Hope that helps.

Genuinely very good advice KateD

KateD is right. This is a great way to lend yourself with sub niche with good search volume.

There are software where you can spend money, but for now, try it this way and see if you find some good keywords

Hello:

The Internet is filled with great resources on the topic of Niche Marketing. The challenge is finding those sources, I know.

One Niche Marketing eBook I recommend (because it's got great info ... and because I'm giving it away free when you subscribe to my newsletter) can be found in the related link in my forum sig, or by checking this Warrior thread: http://www.warriorforum.com/make-mon...-get-free.html

Amazon is my favorite tool for coming up with niche ideas.

Another great tool is Mygazines.net - read. share. archive.. Using Mygazines, you have the ability to read magazines for free using your web browser. Inside of most magazines, you will find advertisements. Note the type of products and services the advertisements are promoting.

If neither of those tools help, check out Yahoo Answers. Yahoo Answers is full of people's problems. Where there are problems, there is an opportunity to create a solution.

For instance, I just went to Yahoo Answers and read the questions on the first page. I saw questions like:

"What's a really good car for a new driver. price range $2,000-$7,000?"

and...

"Does anyone know how to insert and position graphics BEHIND the text in open office?"


From those two questions alone, there are a few niche ideas!
-Car Buying for New Drivers
-Finding An Affordable Car
-How to Use OpenOffice
-Newbie OpenOffice Users



Hope I helped a little bit!
