Below is an article from Honest Internet Cash
. I was going to add an article from entrepreneur.com… “3 rules for niche marketing,” but I love the article from Honest Internet Cash much more. The article from Entrepreneur.com just couldn’t measure up to the following on the “How To Find A Market Niche,” subject.
So I thought I’d share the following article with you instead. It is an extremely long article. So I only posted 5 of the niche marketing examples on how to find a niche market. I added a link to the bottom of the article so that you can head over to Honest Internet Cash and take look at the other 25 niche market ideas…niche marketing information.

How To Find A Market Niche…30 Awesome Places to Find Your Next Niche Market
by Jay
Finding ideas for your next niche market is quite easy. There are lots of resources online to help you discover a market that’s profitable but isn’t overdone by the tens of thousands of marketers online.
Unfortunately, you’re probably shaking your head wondering why it’s so easy when you’re having trouble finding a good market to start making money online.
Well, let me show you some stuff I had bookmarked and you’ll see what I’m talking about. I’ve grouped them into categories so you may be able to find similar places that I haven’t mentioned.
Here’s where I like to dig:
Shopping Sites:
Shopping sites are great places to start digging for your next niche. There are usually ten of thousands of products available that are solutions to people’s problems or a match for their interest. Start at sites like:
1. Amazon New Releases
Amazon is one of the largest and most popular shopping websites online today and it has been for a very long time. Amazon’s new releases show you the most popular products just released in all their categories. These are the products that people are spending money on right now.
Finding niche ideas by looking amongst popular products on the Amazon marketplace can be a great start especially if you decide to promote that particular product. A great indication that you’re on the right track is the countless amount of courses being released where you can profit from promoting Amazon products as an affiliate.
Remember the idea here is not to find a product to promote but to get niche ideas. You’ll have to do research to reverse engineer the particular niche represented by the product.
2. Barnes & Noble Top 10 Everything
Barnes & Noble just like Amazon above, started online selling books. They sold books before through catalogs but when the internet became the next marketplace, they made the transition. They still sell books mainly, along with cds and dvds and other products.
The Top 10 Everything section of the site lists the top 10 books in the dozens of categories on the site. I like to stick to the Non-Fiction categories where you can find stuff in different industries such as travel and hobbies. You can further dig a deeper into their sub-niches and then taking a look at the books will give you further ideas.
Here’s an example: I went to the Crafts & Hobbies section and clicked on Candlemaking. The #1 book was “Candlemaking the Natural Way: 31 Projects made with Soy, Palm & Beeswax”. I could easily start a niche website for “people who are interested in making soy candles” just from this one idea.
3. Shopping.com Top Searches
The Shopping.com Consumer Demand Index (CDI) makes it easy for you to put your finger on the pulse of consumer demand. With millions of shopping searches conducted each week, the CDI reveals emerging trends and hidden gems while highlighting the hottest products.
These top searches are updated on a bi-weekly basis so you can really dig around and find niche ideas or physical products you could promote. Since you can see what’s hot, all you’ll need to do is reverse engineer the niche market or set up a site to promote that type of product and connect with affiliate programs like Amazon or a merchant on Commission Junction or Linkshare.com.
4. Pricerunner
Pricerunner is a price comparison website that has lots of shopping categories for physical products. You can get ideas from their top 50 products list as well as their popular searches which are prominently featured on their homepage.
Another helpful feature is when you visit each category, sitting at the bottom of the page are the top searches in that category. You can then click on More Popular searches to get lots more searches displayed.
There are also links to forum discussions in each category. Forums as you know can be used for getting additional ideas and to do valuable niche market research.
5. Thisnext Activity Map
Here’s an interesting one. ThisNext is a shopping engine that has this activity map where you can see in real time what people are looking for in the many categories on the site. It’s a map of the world and when an item is discovered in the ThisNext site, a bubble pops up over the location of the visitor and the item they searched for.
Pretty cool if you ask me. At the bottom of the map, you’ll find a stripe with categories you can use to discover some cool items. I found some pretty cool items going through these categories like this cordless 1930′s retro style phone. Maybe people collect real retro phones or would like to give their space a retro look (more research needed).
