        Want to know how to find niches that are guaranteed to be profitable?

       Niche Eureka: Finding Profitable Niches Will Never Be A Problem Again!
Introduction

One of the most asked questions of Internet Marketing is:

“How Do I Find Profitable Niches”

While there are many different ways to find niches, I decided to write this short
report to share with you some of the ways I use to find hot markets.

Now, I will be the first person to tell you that getting in the perfect niche is not
always easy. Most people get stuck in this part of internet marketing, but you don't
have to!

Finding niches can actually be very fun and very easy...if you know how to Niche
Brainstorm.

Also, sometimes the perfect niche is not always glamorous. You may find a niche
that is Very Profitable around a topic such as “How To Make Money With eBay” and
then again, your profitable niche might be “Dumpster Diving For Fun And Profit.” ☺

Whatever the niches you come up with, the main purpose of Niche Brainstorm is
simply that...to brainstorm only! This isn't a report about analyzing profitable
niches...that's for another time.

Your primary goal is to fill up a notebook (or your favorite word processor) with tons
of ideas that you can go back and spend some time analyzing.

Don't think an idea is too “out there” to write down. Everything that pops in your
head as you Niche Brainstorm should be written down, because you never know
when one of those strange niche ideas might lead you to a Very Hot Niche of its
own.

So...Are You Ready???


Let's Begin!
Squidoo


Unless you have been living on an island with no civilization, no power, and no
internet; you must have heard of Squidoo.com by now.

Yes, there has been a lot of discussion about Squidoo. But most of the “chatter”
focuses on how you can get listed in Google and generate traffic to your sites. I want
to focus on another great feature of Squidoo that you can use, even if you don't
have your own lens.

Squidoo is a Niche Goldmine!


To start mining that gold for niche ideas, simply go to Squidoo and scan through all
the 'Popular Pages' you are presented with. You can also drill down by category by
clicking 'Explore Topics' at the top left of the page (as of this writing). This should
open up a page with a long list of possible niches for you to look at.

You can also look at the top 100 lenses – just go to
http://www.squidoo.com/browse/top


Here's a revelation for you (at least it was for me when I discovered this)...if it's in
the Top 100, it is a Hot Niche Idea. These lens masters wouldn't continue to put any
work into their lenses if they were not profitable, right?

Grab a pen and your notebook...you're ready to pick out a lot more niches there.


And there is also another great trick to use on Squidoo. Go through the process
outlined above and then start looking not at the lens itself, but at the creators of
the top lenses. Click on 'featured lenses' under the lens master's name at the top
right of the page.

You should find yourself looking at every lens that is owned by that particular lens
master. You can see how many niches they are working out of, as well as what those
niche topics are.

So get niche hunting!
Freelance Sites

Elance.com, Freelance.com, Rentacoder.com, Getafreelancer.com,
Guru.com...are you seeing a pattern here?

Yes, they are all freelance sites; that's true. But...they all have people looking
for products and services based around a certain niche.

This is a little bit of a sneaky tactic, but it is a very good way to brainstorm for
niche ideas.

Go to one or more of these sites and look around at the projects that have been
posted looking for freelancers to bid on. Each project represents a niche that
someone is working in.

In most cases, if the niche is not profitable, no one would be looking to create
products or services in that niche.

Go to the writers section and look at any projects that are posted looking for
writers. Many of them will actually name the niche so that the freelancers can make
a more educated bid on the project based on research. Use this to your advantage.
Pick up those niches and put them into your notebook.

Like I said...it's sneaky, but it works! ☺
Article Sites

One of the easiest methods for niche brainstorming is by visiting article directories.
Sites like Ezine Articles, Go Articles, Article Dashboard – but there are many others.
Think about it for a moment...marketers use article directories to drive traffic to
their web sites. Many of these articles point directly to a niche site that you may be
interested in.

Please do ignore the urge to read everything you come across. If you don't, you will
find yourself a few hours later without any work done.

The best way to come up with niche ideas from article directories is to find the link
that says something like “most viewed” or “top articles” or similar. Most article
directories have something like this.

You can browse through these articles, hitting the titles and/or looking for key
words. Even better, copy the URL to any article you find into a Keyword Density tool,
such as the one at http://tools.seobook.com/general/keyword-density/

This will help you decide what keywords are being targeted for that article and help
you narrow down to other niche ideas.


This is a great method to build up your niche ideas list very quickly.

Here is another great technique that will get you lots of niche ideas from article
directories. In the search box type in any generic question like 'how to', or 'get rid of'
or 'how can I' and you'll get a list of hundreds of articles in different niches. The real
beauty of this is that these are all about 'problem solving' which is exactly what you
want - identify a problem that people are looking a solution to, then provide a
solution.

Not only that but if you click through to the actual articles you'll be able to see what
products they are promoting - a lot of the market research is already done for you.
Conclusion

I hope that at least one of these three methods will work for you in helping you
brainstorm new niches.


Pick one method and use it. If you find that it isn't working for you very easily, then
move on to another method. But...spend some time with whatever method you
choose, because that perfect niche idea might be just around the corner.



Again, keep in mind that you are only in the brainstorming phase with these
methods. While you could potentially research each niche individually as you think
of one, you will actually waste more time and effort this way.


Use your time right now to write down every single niche idea that pops into your
head. Like I said, everything is worth writing down, no matter how dumb you think it
might be. People strike it rich all the time with a 'dumb' idea. ☺


Thanks for taking the time to read this short report. I'm hoping it has been helpful to
you. If you can learn at least one thing that you didn't know before you read this
report, then I have accomplished my mission.


To your success,

Val Wilson

  • 7. Conclusion I hope that at least one of these three methods will work for you in helping you brainstorm new niches. Pick one method and use it. If you find that it isn't working for you very easily, then move on to another method. But...spend some time with whatever method you choose, because that perfect niche idea might be just around the corner. Again, keep in mind that you are only in the brainstorming phase with these methods. While you could potentially research each niche individually as you think of one, you will actually waste more time and effort this way. Use your time right now to write down every single niche idea that pops into your head. Like I said, everything is worth writing down, no matter how dumb you think it might be. People strike it rich all the time with a 'dumb' idea. ☺ Thanks for taking the time to read this short report. I'm hoping it has been helpful to you. If you can learn at least one thing that you didn't know before you read this report, then I have accomplished my mission. To your success, Val Wilson PS If you would like to know how to find niches that are guaranteed to be profitable (and who wouldn’t? ☺) go here: Niche Eureka: Finding Profitable Niches Will Never Be A Problem Again!
