There are many different strategies that you can use to find a potential niche that popular and profitable. Each strategy is vital in order to achieve the best results. The first three strategies are: find a niche that fascinates you. Find a niche that has good demand, meaning that many people a relooking for that information. And finally find a niche that doesn't have too much supply or competition.
Once you find a few prospective niches that fit those criterias it's time to evaluate them based on their earning potential. This is a collective process because there are many different ways to monetize a niche and you likely have specific or distinct objectives for your online business.
#1 Will it take too long to create a following?
The more people who know about your website and visit it the better. However, if you're in a competitive niche then it's likely going to take you a bit to get noticed both by the search engines and your prospects. That's okay if you're a patient sort. If you're in the niche for the long haul and have lots of time each week to work on your website then a business with a bit of competition is fine. You can make it profitable eventually.
On the other hand if you are in a hurry you want to look for a niche that doesn't have too much competition. It'll take you less time to get noticed by your audience and the search engines. It'll take you less time to start to profit. Faster isn't always better, it just depends on your vision, available time and your goals.
#2 Who is the audience?
This is important to consider. Some niches don't lend themselves to high profits. For example if you're marketing to a budget minded crowd then they're not likely to buy expensive products and they may actually resent you selling them products. That doesn't' mean the niche isn't profitable. You might monetize your site with advertising and affiliate memberships to coupon sites. It's just important to think about whom your audience is and how you can monetize the site effectively before you decide on a niche.
#3 Is it a trend?
If you're looking at a trend it's important to weight the longevity of the trend. Of course you can't pull out your crystal ball and predict when the trend will fade away but you can weigh it into your decision. Many people make good money on trends. That's because they were able to take quick action and capitalize on it. They also understood that trends fade away and a long term business isn't in the picture.
If you're sure about the viability of a niche consider creating a fly catcher page for each potential niche. You'll need to register a domain name and create a page for each niche. On that page you'll put a sign up form on the page and offer a freebie product. You might also use PPC ads to drive traffic to that form. If a lot of people sign up for the information you k now that the niche is a viable one with a potential to profit. If you get very few if any visits and sign ups then you know the niche isn't the right one for you.
You need to consider your audience, monetization outlook, longetivity + and competition. But most importantly, you need to use both your instincts and your resources to evaluate each potential niche based on its earning potential.
