Need help to find a good Niche

I don't know how much experience you already have, so maybe this won't apply to you. But if you want to get the cash flowing right now, have you considered offering a service? This could be something like writing or design. Doing this part time could definitely achieve the income you need.

The other reason I suggest this is because you'll learn a lot while you're doing a service for other internet marketers. It's a great way to learn all about how to do it yourself, while at the same time making sure you've got enough money coming in.

That said about your niche question - yes it can be a lot more difficult nowadays to find a niche with less competition. How long have you been searching? Sometimes it can take a few hours of thinking outside the box before you hit on one, but it's worth it when you do. Remember to consider all types of niches e.g. info product niches vs promoting physical products (you may find it easier with the latter if you think of things you regularly use around the home that would sell for a good price). You can even go on Amazon.com's bestseller list to come up with ideas.

Hope that helps a little, sorry if the first part of advice doesn't apply to you.

When choosing a niche I generally follow these steps :
1. Use domain samurai (google it), add an adwords account so it can generate up to 800 results.

2. Search using domain samurai's keyword tool for a broad niche (ie. Buy websites), now it will generate up to 800 related keywords. I then use the keyword analysis (exact match) component to see the stats of keywords. Once you find a good one, go to step 3.

3. Double check the results from domain samurai using the google keyword tool. If the results are the same you have the makings of a good niche.

4. Search in google to get a general idea of how many pages are competing for the keyword. If the number is under 50k on an exact match search you should normally be good to go.

5. Use an SEO analysis program to check the top 10 pages for your keyword, if they have bad SEO and few backlinks things should be easier for you.

6. Use common sense, it is very difficult to beat pages (not impossible) like wiki, amazon, the products website normally.

7. Find a good domain name, using your keyword in the domain.

That is a cut down version of the steps I use to identify a niche or keyword, I hope it helps you.

I also take a look at Google trends, especially for a specific geographic location. It can give you some idea about what's hot, what's on the way out, and where you can focus before things get too crowded.

PS That baby niche could be a good one

I have a service that will do just that.

Find a profitable niche you can rank for.

Only problem? It's not ready yet.

I would choose an area that you're interested in. Nothing worst than marketing a niche and you don't have an interest or prior knowledge in.

Thanks for the feedback guys/girls

I am heaering make sure your passionate about your niche and I am passionate about technology, gaming, babies, web design (I sell them) etc so might look there next

Cheers

I used to use a software called the keyword tool dominator. I know that it's somewhat obscure and most people here probably haven't heard of it, but it's probably one of the the most powerful niche finding tools I've yet to use.

The program itself isn't all that fancy and all it does is pull the target keywords off the top results (not sure how many, maybe top 100?) for the seed keyword you input. It then pulls that data for those keywords from GAKT and then you can filter it based on searches and CPC. The reason I love it so much is the sheer number of keywords it returns. Just inputting a single simple keyword like "fishing" for example would return 2000 results or so. You can then filter those and search again using those keywords. Even with my ridiculously slow internet it allowed me to go through approximately 10,000 keywords in under an hour all from a single broad category seed keyword and filter those down to ones that have profitability.

This doesn't give you the competition but you can just take the data from it and import it into some other keyword research tool.

However, the program seems down at the moment, something to do with the API. But I would definitely recommend it especially considering it's only like $39.

Think of what niche that interest you. Your hobbies. This is one good thing that will definitely help you get a good niche.
