How do you guys pick your new niches??

Hey everyone.

I'm starting a new business strategy this year. That is to make micro niche sites and SEO them to make money with adsense, CPA offers, and my own products. I figure I can do this for a solid 6 months and keep scaling accordingly.

Question is, I feel that finding a new niche is very hard. Do you guys have any ideas on picking a niche/keyword and running with it? Do you use programs to help you?

I have no problem not knowing about the niche, as long as I make money off of it, I could care less if the keyword is as boring as "how to paint wood". I will probably outsource a lot of it, anyway.

Cheers!

    The amazon best sellers list is pretty well known.... here's another one. Google the keyword "google shopping"

    The first result should give you a search engine specifically for products. The cool thing is that there's a list of items that people have "just recently" purchased or viewed. That is you GOLD. Look at the items that people are buying and pick one that gets a good number of searches per month. And is not too competitive.

    Hope that helps!

    I often buy the most ustless clutter, No idea why... But while im buying ustless items that I will probably throw to one side I type them into google keyword tool - If it gets 500 local searches, I throw the item name into traffic travis.

    If traffic travis gives me the green light... a website is born

      go to about.com and amazon. There are literally over 1,000,000 niches for you to choose from.

      All the work is done for you. If publishers are making real books (not ebooks) then there's a market for it, period. They don't just randomly decide to publish books.

      And about.com has thousands of topics all with sub topics and sub topics of those.

      Finding a niche is not hard.

      But I'd challenge you to do this. Write down your favorite 100 things in life. Really think about it. There's 100 "markets" now go find niches in those markets and you'll have a hell of a lot more fun with this than having websites about quilting... unless that's on your top 100 list.

    Usually, I find successful marketers on Flippa. I find their sites and I use reverse engineering to find their other sites and unseat their network, whether it be via shared IP or adsense/analytics footprints.

    I root their business model, copy it, improve it, and destroy them in the SERPs. This can basically be done for any niche.
