Cant find a niche :(

Get Market Samurai. It will help you.

It has both free and paid versions. Follow the link below to check it out:

You might be suffering from overload. Meaning there are just some many places to get started you are having a hard time picking one. Every IMer has their own pet way of selecting niches and there is plenty of help right here on the forum if you search for it.

Think about the problems people are having in everyday life where they would desperately like to find a fast solution. Could be financial, relationships, health... just about anything. The age old adage still holds true. Find a need and fill it.

There are a ton of niches out there, but you may have a better shot at finding a micro-niche... which is a niche that's nested inside of a niche.

Example...

Niche: Weight loss
Micro niche: Cellulite
Micro niche: Burn Cellulite

2900 broad searches
888 phrase searches
6,080,000 competing sites (broad match)
53,000 competing sites (in quotes)

Not too tough... all of the high ranking sites are article directories. Create a site with good original content... get some backlinks... create a quick slideshow/video and submit it to Youtube with a link to your site... you'll be on page one in no time flat.

Thank me later LOL!

Just pick something that you spend money on, then do keyword research on it. Chances are, a lot of other people spend money on it too

Work from successful products and service backward...you can do all the niche research and investigation you want on demand, but it really comes down to identifying products/services that are proven sellers, then work backward to find how you target the demand.

I look at my computer desk at all the crap sitting on it.

There are millions of niches out there, what are you sitting in...your boxers?

There you go, underwear, fighters, fighters "protection", betting...thats 4 for you right now in about 3 seconds

I use Micro Niche Finder. It helps me to find great low competition niches.

I teach my coaching students to choose ate least 2 niches in different markets:

1: one old niche market with proven records (weight loss, etc).
2: a new market, maybe exploding in a couple years from now (electrical cars, etc).

This way they are making money NOW but they are also working their FUTURE.

Maybe you can do this too. Choose a proven market right now and a "new" market you'll capitalize in a couple years.

Try something that you really understand and you think you are confident to promote.

Well,

You are looking at it in the wrong way. A niche is not something you find with a software tool. A niche is not a group of people who hang out together. A niche
is an opening within that group of people.

Example:

SEO market>
Sub market > SEO software
Sub market > SEO software > SEO Supreme (not a real product)

You bought SEO Supreme to improve your Google rankings. But although SEO Supreme
works really great, it is very difficualt to learn how to take maximum advantage of
the software. So you start looking around and realize that there are no good how to
videos that explains step-by-step how to use SEO Supreme for maximum results.

So you start asking around and realize that not only is there no such a product (or the
ones there are, are not up to par) but there are a lot of people that bough SEO Supreme
for $497 that are looking for the exact same thing (videos explaning how to use the software for maximum results)

There is your niche. An opening in a tightly focused group of people. Selling a high quality video that explains how to use the software will be like shooting fish in a barrel.

Hope that helps

I'd say try not to think so much about it and go with what you know and what you are passionate about. A lot of people talk about statistics and "saturated" niches, but your best bet would probably be to do some experimenting on what you know.

Also don't just try one niche, try some other niches that you might be knowledgable about and get a feel for where you can profit the most from. Don't let competition and saturation scare you. If you know what you are talking about, then you will be okay.

But then there is the popularity of the niche.

I think anything that deals with video or social media right now is good niche to be in. I thought both trends would cool in the past few years, instead they seem to only get hotter and hotter. Put yourself where the people are, and give them something they want, the money will follow.

I have two things to add to the excellent advice already offered here:

1. Define the issue - is it that you can't find a niche, or can't decide on a niche?

2. Go to Borders, B & N, your local magazine store. What magazines are on the racks, and what kind of advertising do you see? If there's print advertising money being spent, it's worth pursuing. Then come home and do your keyword research based on what you've found.

1) Find a high paying affiliate program / product,
2) Make a list of problems that the product can solve.
3) Target one problem and do keyword research
4) Create a website and and offer the product as a solution to the problem

Try Micro Niche Finder (MNF) and Market Samurai

Just narrow it down. For example, here are the big categories: health and fitness, dating and relationships, business and money. What I like to do is go to the bookstore and go to the magazine rack for my niche ideas.

For example, I might go into the dating niche. That's too board. How about dating for Asian men? How about Dating for Asian men who's into interracial relationships? NOW that's a niche etc.

Basically, go to your local bookstore magazine rack :]

Actually and this is no reflection on any software offered in this thread, but, and I stress this, the niche is waiting for you to discover it,

No, software can show you the niche that you really need, sure it can show you all kinds of niches, but the one that is the most profitable, that has to come from inside.

Profitable niches, are for the most part, something that you care about, something that you are passionate about, something that is expensive, (just kidding)

Seriously a profitable niche is one that you can easily write about over and over again because you like it, for some people it is about starwars, others is it about loosing weight, or quitting smoking, what ever your niche is it is waiting on you to discover it and take advantage of it,

Think about what you truly care about, think about what you would get mad about if someone said the wrong thing to you...

What would that be?

It could be coffee, it could be a certain dessert, it could be just about anything, but only you know what that thing inside you is.

What would make you made right now if I were to tell you that I thought your favorite movie stunk, or what would get you angry if someone were to insult your favorite, thing?

Tie up with few NGOs, home for elderly, orphanages etc. Build a website. Market it. Accept the donations. Keep your commission. Everyone will be happier.

Lots of great advice here. I always like to start with topics I have some interest in. Over the long haul, it helps to have some "connection" with what you're marketing. If not, the long-term process of building a valuable business will become a grind.

What interests you? What is fun for you? What do you know about already? What have you always wanted to learn? Start here and then research for what makes money within these interests...

Also, Amazon is a goldmine for niche research. Find your topics and check how books/products are selling on Amazon. Everything is ranked for you.

Drilling into Health / Money / Relationship categories always smart....

Niches can be very hard to choose, I also think its being overloaded with possibilities and feeling overwhelmed because we know we can make bank its just difficult with so many options and we always want to try everyone of them. Also depends on personality and the amount of focus you have with yourself.

@joecrupie

Nice vid, There are few here that would take the time to make a video

The internet is a fricken overwhelming gold mine, to much to handle@!

1)Find a problem people have
2)Learn the problem well
3)Find a product/service that solves the problem
4)Learn the product/service well
5)Sell the product/service to those who have the problem.

Eg:

1)So many people suffer from acne
2)You learn about acne well
3)You find a good product that solves acne
4)you lean about the product well
5)You sell the product to acne sufferers through your web site or blog.

The more desperate the problem is the more profit you make.

Make sure that the product is not a rip off.

Thanks

Some great ideas here! find some ideas, try them out for Keywords on Market Samurai!

Then decide! Making decisions is sometimes hard, but it doesn't matter too much if you go wrong, at least you have done something. If that doesn't work out, try another one.

(I really need to follow this advice, I have been procrastinating for quite a while on finding a new niche!)

I always see DIY as hot niche, because these are the people who want to take some action and they more so they want to do themselves. So more likely to buy the DIY book/videos.

Micro Niche Finder works for me.. It is intuitive.. If you treat this as a business and not an hobby you should buy either Micro Niche Finder or Market Samurai

Write stuff related to your day job.

try a few different niches all at the same time, see how that works for you.

Great video Joe, it seems that the Samurai is damn awesome for this.

I'd always say go with what you love. Be it a hobby, dogs, cats, whatever - just something you are passionate about. All the SEO, all the promotion you do will be of no value unless you have great site content. That's far easier to create if you have a passion for your niche.

A good way to pick a niche is to find what people are buying already. You could try bestsellers at Amazon or check out cbengine.com and see clickbank's top sellers.

Use Market Samurai. Choose niche that you are interested. Something you have passion on it and won't get bored to drive it continuously.

Look in Google Trends, see what is selling on eBay and Amazon, check out CBengine and see which products are gravitating at a fast rate. If you want a hot niche now, try self-help, self-improvement, mind power, law of attraction etc.

Try using Google Trends to search for rising and consistent products using keywords suggested in previous posts. This will give you insight to what is popular and give you ideas on what to pitch to an increasing market

I can't claim ownership of this idea, it came from another Warrior (wish I could remember their name because this helped me a lot, and I continue to owe them my thanks).

Touch parts of your body.. your head, 'how to cure a headache'.. your eyes 'stop sore eyes'... your mouth.. 'cure bad breath' etc etc

Thinking about problems people might experience, and finding solutions for them (with correct legal disclaimers in place) are potential goldmines.

Im thinking something in tattoos right now. Thanks for all your help!

hey

The best thing you can do is think of something your really passionate about and make sure its something that will sale look it up in google see is there anyone else doing it this gives you a good idea hope this helps

Thanks

I really don't have time to read every message so sorry if I'm repeating anything.

First, search the forum - there are a few very good how to threads on this.

Try googles search based keyword tool - it allows you to browse major markets and find niches and micro niches based on how popular they are (debateable).

And another ++ for market samurai - there is also micro niche finder too which might help.

Good luck!

If the money doesn't motivate you, make sure your passion does!

Hope that helps.

you can try google hot trends.

Froogle is still a good way to find niches,
especially product niches:

Google Product Search
