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.
A twist on someone elses niche (that YOU think is a good idea) seems to work well. Posted via Mobile Device
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.
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
Make research on some word and chose for keyword this who have no more from 7 000 search monthly..on this way...Good luck
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.
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
