There may be many profitable niches to select but the difference between just ‘doing’ them and doing them in a way that gets the results we’re after, is the difference between success and failure.
And though there are many ways to choose a niche, only a few will result in strong, and continuous boosts for your profits.
Beginning a Profitable Niche Candidates
Start by creating a list of potential niche candidates.
The following are some points that make a candidate attractive:
- Availability of affiliate services or products
- The topic is familiar or intriguing enough to you that you’re willing to learn about it
- How and Where to Get Ideas From
Start by making a list of topics you already have an interest in, are familiar with, and considered an expert in.
Your list would look something like this:
- Acrylic Painting
- Music
- Candle Making
- Hiking
- Playing Piano
- Antique Restoration
Here’s a guide that you can ask yourself should you find it hard to get started with coming up with a profitable niche:
- I am considered very knowledgeable or an expert about the following things.
- What jobs have I had that I was good at or really enjoyed?
- What am I passionate about?
- Uncovering What’s Already “Hot”
Uncovering What’s Already “Hot”
John Reese, a well-known internet marketer, was quoted as saying, “go where the money already is”. He was saying to “see what sells well already then look for an angle or competitive advantage”.
That concept is built from the idea that it’s easier to sell products that you know people are already wanting to buy, instead of first trying to figure what people will buy.
Based on that idea, you can then tap into various resources to see what’s trending and “hot”, then use that as the focus for your topical website for a profitable niche.
Article Directories
Article directories are made up of user-submitted articles for webmasters to use as content on their sites. The webmaster in exchange for the ‘free’ content, includes the author’s bio and links back to the author’s site.
Because of that, the writer benefits from the exposure, traffic, and backlinks.
Larger directories hold millions of articles and receive thousands of visitors daily.
If you browse by topic and look at the number of views you can determine what is already popular.
Niches that have a large number of articles are a good indication that webmasters are seeing it as a profitable niche.
Browsing and coming up with profitable niche site ideas become particularly easy when they are categorized.
You can do some good market research by going to large directories like Go Articles and Ezine Articles.
Not only is it important to research your niche candidates but you also want to be sure to track how the niche performs.
By analyzing your marketing efforts you can determine if you’ve picked the right niche for you.
