What's Your most ridiculous niche?

by Philip John
24 replies
G'day Warriors,

This should be a bit of a giggle ... what's the strangest niche you've come across? I mean, we have all heard of Kerns "Teach your Parrot to talk", right?



What are some others?



I will start with the following...

Underwater Basket Weaving
Wombat Herding
Teach Your Cat to Tango
Granny Olympics

        Hello Phil

        Thank you for your post. I don't think it's a good idea to reveal your RIDICULOUS niche.
        It takes intensive research to come up with a ridiculous niche that makes you money. You will also find so many marketers prefer not to share their niche simply because they are giving away their business secret
        Sadly, not every one has the same intention as yours, although the majority do
        With all my respect to all fellow warriors,that was only my 2 cents.

        Warmest Regards,
        Lama Kalla

          Thanks Lama!

          Offcourse nobody want's to reveal his or her Profitable niches.... However, I doubt that anyone would ever make any money in the "Underwater Basketweaving" niche...

          but then... the Internet never stops to astound!

'Ex' relationships are that way for a reason - it's a complete mystery to me why anyone would want to revive the misery. Perhaps I've misunderstood it and 'get your ex back' just refers to retaliation and putting chilli powder in his pants before you close the door on it all

    The niche called "Par Golf".

    It's where you literally play a whole round of golf without a golf ball.

    You walk the whole course with your caddy and clubs and play imaginery golf.

    That way you can visualise where you hit the ball better and where you will hit the ball to, in your mind.

    I tried it once but hit mine mentally in the woods and I am still there looking for it :-)

    I won't mention anything specific, but...

    When doing legitimate keyword research for my niche lists and ProHotList forum, I am struck by how many off-the-wall XXX subniches there are. Some of them do make sense due to slang terms, but others are downright weird.

    When I discover a certain phrase is pornographic, I remove it from the results. Not trying to be a censorship prude, but the "adult" terms are taken out because they aren't relevant.

    All the best,
    Michael

      Um. Someone I know very well is an adult webmaster. He told me about 2 really odd XXX niches.

      1. Ladies Keds Sneakers (Erm, guys don't wear em, but use em instead of thier hands for other stuff...Ew)

      and

      2. Giant Balloons (This is not a slang terms for boobs, they mean real inflatable balloons. The sites aren't even dirty. Just pretty girls in bikinis holding gigantic balloons mostly. I don't understand it).

    Not my niche, but ran into once while doing research: mousetrap cars. I had never heard about it before -- and yet if you run a Google search, you'll see mousetrap car guides, kits, videos and more. Evidently people build and race 'em. Who knew?

    Cheers,
    Becky

    Teaching your parrot to talk is actually a very viable niche and one that has a lot of interest. Thankfully my parrot already talks so I don't have to teach him

    Hmm I had a site on ear mites. That was interesting.

    Not necessarily ridiculous. If anyone is interested, feel free to grab it if you like. Geothermal Energy!

    Some interesting money making/sharing opportunities including investing along with Google. After having a chat with Sergey and Larry at Google it's definitely a good one to consider getting into on the investment side of things...

    I hate to *ahem* let the cat of the bag... but has anyone noticed the abundance of "Teach Your Cat" type stuff around...

    How to Teach Your Cat to Give a Handshake
    How to Toilet-Train Your Cat
    Teach your cat to walk on a leash
    Teach your cat to fetch
    Teach your cat to jump through a hoop
    Teach Your Cat to Come
    Teach Your Cat to Enjoy Being Petted

    I don't know if you guys own a cat... but I own a Burmese and more often than not he trains me what to do... not the other way around!'
