Will You Share Your Worst Niche Ideas?

by Jill Carpenter
78 replies
I'm working on something, and having a total problem right now.

I need a really bad niche idea. I keep looking things up that I think would be bad niches, and finding results. LOL

As an example, I googled pigs feet. Low and behold, there are recipes and all kinds of fantastic information on pigs feet.

Who would have thunk?

I need a bad niche for an example. Something no one is really looking for information for or something there is really no information for that no one really wants to know about anyway.

Can you give me a terrible niche?

Thanks.

      Ha,

      I'm looking for something along the lines of someone saying to themselves "Oh! this would be a great idea and I'm an expert on the topic" and then looking it up to find no one has any information on it - so it still looks promising, but when you look it up on adwords no one is looking for any information on that topic.

            Giraffe Recipes - 100 ways to cook a giraffe

            Not a real search for it, someone in Africa could know a lot of ways to cook a giraffe, but how much interest would there be on the topic?

            I did find one recipe for it btw.

            Hmmmm.

                I have to wonder if this would be a popular topic for it's region - but I don't know how many internet users there are in Africa and if this is just an untapped niche.

                Some people may be looking for eating strange game. The numbers are not really there in adwords, but maybe I just had a big discovery.

              My nephew and his wife spent a year in a village in Africa. The nearest health-care was a 2 day bus trip. There was no water, it was trucked in weekly. However the village DID have broadband internet access. From what I can tell, lots of grants for that, few for any real needs.

              Also, you might search for 100 ways to catch a giraffe, that seems to be the hard part.
              Lol.

    Hey Jill,

    Although you have had many colorful responses, I believe that you were looking for something common and everyday that people have extensive experience and knowledge about, but something most people wouldn't care enough to take the time to create content about it. Correct?

    Things like:

    - washing tomatoes
    - how to boil water
    - tie folding

    Much Success,
