SUBJECT: 6 Places To Do Niche Research And Find Out What's Selling

Whenever I go to the forums and see beginners asking if there's
any money to be made online, I shake my head in disbelief.

There are so many transparent shopping platforms online that
actually SHOW you the sales being made and the reviews from the
customers that buy the products that it's impossible to say that
there's no money to be made online.

In this lesson I'll reveal to you 6 places that not only show
you what niches are profitable, but what products are currently
selling online right now.



Niche Research Tool #1 - Amazon

Amazon is an amazing resource for finding niche markets you'd
never have thought about entering.

Step 1. In search drop down select books and hit GO.

Step 2. In the left hand navigation column, you'll notice all
the different book topics. Pick one that interests you. Now,
you'll notice a new set of topics in the left hand column. Pick
one.

Step 3. Check reviews. Reviews indicate a market that's involved
and active, which is what we're looking for. Look for larger
numbers.

Step 4. Next, take a look at the titles. These are all possible
sub-niches.

Step 5. Next, take a look at the sales ranking of these titles.
This can be found by clicking on the book cover and moving down
the page to the section title Product Details. The lower the
number, the higher the sales for that particular item. 

Tip! Use Amazon.com Bestsellers - amazon.com/gp/bestsellers



Niche Research Tool #2 - eBay

eBay gives good insight to into what is selling right now and
what people are looking for. 

Under the category drop-down menu, select the niche you are
interested in and look at the results that appear.

You will find the top 10 most popular searches for that category
and the top 5 largest stores for that category.

Look at the keywords that you see for your niche and use the
drop-down menu to go deeper into your niche.

Make a list of good keywords related to your niche market.

Go to eBay Pulse for finding hot niches. pulse.ebay.com



Niche Research Tool #3 - ClickBank Marketplace

The reason this is so cool is that these are all information
products, like ebooks, downloadable audio or video.

Visit the Clickbank "Marketplace" and do a search with your
Niche Keywords

Look for Affiliate Products? The reason this is so cool, is that
these are all information products, like ebooks, downloadable
audio or video etc.

If there is a product or even better, several products in the
niche you're interested in listed here, you know that there are
people buying products in this niche on the Internet.

Step 1. Go to clickbank.com and search the marketplace for
Affiliate Products in your Niche of Interest

Step 2. Type in related Keywords in Find Products search bar

Step 3. Research Affiliate Products offered



Niche Research Tool #4 - Dummies

Dummies is probably one of my most favorite places to search for
a profitable Niche.

If dummies.com has a book written on a niche, it means they have
identified a problem and offering a solution. (They have
researched the niche.)

The Dummies Company has made creating niche products an art form
in its own right. 

Search through their titles in general niches that interest you
and jot down potential eBook topics.

One thing you will notice by using these places to search for
profitable Niches is the fact that they have already paid for
the research to be done in the Niches they cover.

There is no need for you to pay for research to be done when it
ha already been done and paid for already.



Niche Research Tool #5 - Article Directories

The key when visiting this kind of site is to just make a huge
list of potential topics, and then when you're done go and
research. 

If there are people searching for information on the subject,
(at least five thousand a month) you've just found a niche topic
that could turn into a very lucrative home-based business.

One more thing you can use the Article directory for is
researching the competition and finding possible JV partners.

In the resources of each article you will usually find a link to
a website.

Go check out the website and see if they are list building.

Usually you will find that those that know what they are doing
will be using articles to direct back to a site where they will
have a squeeze page set up ready to collect your name and email.

Write this person down and their contact information as a
possible JV partner to help you launch your products.

You should even sign up for the list so you can check out what
kind of follow up series they have, what kind of products they
offer, etc.

Always be looking for ways to identify what is going on in your
market.



Niche Research Tool #6 - Yahoo Answers

Here is the process for researching:

Step 1. Type in a keyword related to the industry you are
searching. Let use the words "Job Loss"

Step 2. Create a list of all the questions people are asking
within that topic. Example of a question asked may be, "How to
find a new job and find better job security?" 

Step 3. Probe to find the hot button (people search for a how,
but behind all of this there is a "why" why does this person
want to find a new job with better job security?)

Possibly because they are losing their jobs or have already lost
their job (in most cases) and are looking for assistance in
finding a new one.

Step 4. Next formulate a campaign from your findings. An example
of a solution you could offer would be help in writing resumes
if that is your strong suit or you have access to affiliate
products on writing resumes if you don't want to create the
product. 

You could also train on how to prepare and handle a job
interview. This would be a great follow up product to teaching
on how to write resumes. Always be looking and thinking about
what comes next.

Step 5. Make money leveraging new avenues. A great way for you
to leverage the internet here would be to introduce this person
into the make money from home Niche.

Show this person that they don't need to go out looking for a
job because there are opportunities for them to learn how to
start up and run their very own online business from home.
