How do you guys find niches??

I just want to know how do you guys find niches. And how do you determine if it is a good one or not. Any help would be nice for a noob like me.

go to dp market place, flippa, etc

read the Xfactor method, it is almost the bible of micro niche sites

DP = digitalpoint

A twist on someone elses niche (that YOU think is a good idea) seems to work well.

I like to think about niches from the perspective of "what makes people lose sleep?" because you can get these people to pay a LOT of money to solve their problems, whereas niches where people are "comfortable," the best you can hope for is a couple bucks off amazon affiliate network/EPN/adsense. f* that, go for the big money.

Just a few examples of what I'm talking about

• My teen got kicked out of school for violence
• my vagina smells terrible
• i have acne that looks like freddy kruger has his way with my face
• i have anxiety attacks
• i've been stuck in the same job for 20 years
• im gay and don't know how to tell my spouse
• i have scars that make me extremely self concious, to the point that I can't go to the beach
• i act cool, but deep inside im freaking out that my life is going nowhere
• [obvious] I'm fat.
• [obvious] I'm poor and wish i could get rich quick
• [obvious] I'm working hard, but i'm not going to get paid in time to pay rent

These are just a few things that people REALLY worry about.
Instead of just going to google adwords tool and typing in some bs like, "purple ipod case," and trying to make a few cents from adsense/amazon affiliate, think about what people are truly PLAGUED by, and sell it to them for whatever price they're willing to pay.

A big ass mysql database chock full of metrics

i go to the local bar see which bitch i like and if i like what i see i buy her a drink, then after a few more we go back to my place and i stick it in and if its good ill call her back

For products, I use Amazon.

1. select any best selling products
2. scrape using the root keyword ( I use SB)
3. Pick the long tail keywords with less competition and high search volume

I go to Costco.

Seriously, I just got back and discovered a product that's $200 that I never thought of that I can build a site around.

Finding a niche boils down two things: either chasing after the money or chasing after what you know about/interested in. If you are about the case you can do a google search on the most highest paying keywords. Also use Google traffic estimator/keyword tool to find highly searched terms. If you are looking to focus on the latest buzz then try Google Trends. I know of one guy who use Trends to register a domain that made him $100 by simply parking it.

Then again, if you decide to write about a topic of interest you will be more motivated and not just one of the 101 projects that you start but never finish.

Look at amazon-best sellers, ebay pulse, google trends, magazines.com

I've seen a lot of people go to clickbank, amazon, or ebay and look at whats selling. This does work, but it may not be the most effective method.

What I do is open up ebay or amazon, and the google keyword tool. I also have market samurai open at the same time.

I pick a random category, such as bikes. I type it in the google keyword tool, and look at the matches that are either brands or a specific type, and check out the competition.

For example "tandem bike". I haven't checked this, but I can tell you it does have less searches than bike, and it is searched by people who are looking to either find out more about a tandem bike or actually purchase one.

There are so many niches. Pretty much any main keyword works. Rings, Speakers, Hard Drives, Back packs, etc. Just look for a subcategory of that keyword with low competition.

Then I type it in Market Samurai and see what the top 10 search results look like. You want a less competitive market, as in the sites have an average below 3 PR, a reasonable number of backlinks, and low onsite SEO. If the niche appears to be too competitive, I will move onto the next one.

PS, not all niches are taken. I just found one 2 days ago that gets 15k searches per month, is a very easy to enter market, and I had a supply of the product readily available.

My site was indexed today, and I'm expecting to be ranking in the top 10 over the next month or two. Good luck

amazon and walmart are excellent places to find niches around a few products.give it a try.
