Pick My Niche For Me?

I have struggled a lot with this, hopefully this advice serves you:

Pick a topic you could talk about 30 minutes unprepared. If that's the case you probably will know more about that topic than most people, you can start there!

It's better to start quickly and pivot that getting stuck in your head overthinking. It's easier to find your niche by taking action and learning on the way than just by thinking!

Keep us updated

To go with what @Artkantos said...

Literally take a moment and look around you... if YOU are interested in the things around you... the things you eat, the exercise you do... so will 1000's if not millions of other people be interested in the same things.

When looking what you jhave to offer to others...you have to look at YOU first... what YOU have to offer. Not having a clue about Forex and thinking "oh thats hot and there is money" and going that direction, is simply a recipe for disaster. But say you have a rainbow bright collection to die for... the money will be in the rainbow brite.

Ther is literally NO niche that you cant make money from... and when I say no niche... I literally mean no niche... the niche of FREE as in free offers for this and that... there is money to be had.

Go with YOU... go with what you know - a GREAT place to start!

What are you interested in? What experience and skills do you have? Write down everything which comes to mind around this and then pick the top 3 and write down all of the ways you could make a business from it.
I like fishing, so I could:
- sell fishing lures
- write a fishing blog
- sell video tutorials about how to fish
etc

Know your passion, what are the things that you like. It is best to start with the niche that your are interested in.

I cannot pick a niche for you and neither can any one else .

You need to test the market using your expertise then take the feed back and build upon it .

We operate with the eCommerce model exclusively and do the opposite. I find a high end product type where there is a great profit per sale and a lot of searches. I don't care what it is and almost never know anything about it. We then reach out to suppliers and once we've landed at least one, I do as much research as I can, reading the buyer's guides on other websites. I then build the site with my newfound knowledge.

I have discovered that once you start making money, you become very passionate about a niche, learning more and more every month.

All niches are good for that matter. There are buyers for any niche. What matters most is the affiliate website you build to promote your niche product or service. There is market for every niche under the Sun!

Dorian, you would find me singing this tune for the past 20 years here at WF, a tune many get tired of hearing.

But here goes: INTENT. What do you want? From this post, and your other ones, we can only guess your goal is to

MAKE MONEY???

Is this right? If so, you are going about things the hard way. In between the look around and see what you use, consume, buy...can talk about, or have a passion for...

And find a product (with profits) and sell it. That advice is all about experience, or it is anecdotal, it is what worked for those Warriors.

Will any of them work for you? We don't know.

Any of them could, maybe even should...but what makes the IM thing work is


YOU... And instead of asking about niches or markets or products or profits, tell us what you bring to the table, what do you have to offer us?

It has been mostly rejected for the 20+ years too, and Warriors cover their ears when I begin to sing it...but when you approach the whole IM from a what do I have to offer, rather than what can I GET.

You just may see some remarkable life changes.

Think of yourself as an undiscovered niche at this point, and let us discover what you have, and not what you want.

Song over.

Walk away from your computer - go to a large sports store and just browse around watching what other customers are looking at.

Go to walmart or big box or department store... look at what is on end caps or featured and what shoppers are looking at.... read the fronts of magazines on the racks to see what topics are featured in various 'topics' and what 'niches' in those topics are on the covers.

Keep a list of 'things' - products, general products, specific products, ideas...etc. What are your friends talking about - what are they buying? What you will find is the more you look and listen - the more your mind will open to possibilities.

Learn to identify a 'topic' and a 'niche' and a 'subniche'.

Make a note of every niche idea that comes to mind for a few days - then sit down and research those niches. Are there good products? searches? competition (competition is good)... When I was looking for niches I would start with 50-60 niche ideas jotted down and after a couple hours of research would have 5 or less workable niches on my list.

That may seem like a lot of effort - but if you are new to choosing niches you need to open your mind to possibilities. Don't overanalyze or get emotionally attached to any niche - do the research and base decisions on the numbers you find.

Me, like Gordon and Jay, say look at what you buy. Because of the reasons they gave and because I think it is easier to sell to people like yourself things you use.


In addition, I suggest, you look at successful company websites:
amazon.com, walmart, etc. and see their departments.



Pick one that has things that interest you. Say you're interested in Sports


You have the option of clicking on several, including Exercise and fitness. You click on that, you get more options, including Yoga and Cardio Training.


You click on Cardio training, you get to choose between ellipticals and treadmills and a few other things.


You click on ellipticals, you get products.


Now take products (one or more) and combine them with a group of people that have one condition in common:
they're over fifty
they have heart issues
they have diabetes
they want a portable one
they want one that folds
they want to lose belly fat


Then combine that with some other condition


You end up with
exercise machines for people over 50 who have knee problems.


Now and elliptical might be just the thing for many of them (as ellipticals are easier on the joints than treadmills). But not for all of them... some might only be able to do Gazelle without issues, some can do none (for those you have to find another product / exercise that gets their heart running fast enough to count as cardio that does not put any stress on the knees... so you look for ab machines/ exercise and things that move your arms only and so on).


You could also check the best seller list, see something that interests you, figure out who benefits (make sure you have several conditions...



This is one of the bestsellers today on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-...0U8QEXBS&psc=1


Who wants this? Why? You keep asking till you find a reason that combines three restrictors:
I do not know anything about this, have low requirements on bedsheets, so my examples will suck but will give you an idea:
people who have allergies
want things that are ecofirendly products
have extra-large beds
need it to be wrinkle free (I'm not one of those).


You get the idea.


But, it's easier if you find a bestselleer that's a product you yourself have recently purchased...

I was thinking about this some more. You are correct in that finding a problem and solution for customers. But how to find the problems? In the past, I have used Amazon and searched a product I was thinking of selling. I would look at the top products of that type and then scrolled down to the reviews and clicked only on the 1 star reviews. What do you then get? Every problem that people have with that product being complained about. I would then list these down and look for the 3 most common problems and look to develop a similar product that solved these problems. Use this as a marketing tool when launching and selling the product as in "Our widget is 2 foot longer to better meet your needs" or something like that. You can do this even if you're not planning on selling on Amazon - use the system, use the data and make it work for you.

you have to understand what do you want , stable income or maybe you will see another way to have this or that type of niche, anyways most profitable for now gambling and betting.

You can try crypto haha now is the winter, but is a good time to build in a really promising and exciting niche, though trading, gambling and betting (mixed with crypto) is really profitable. Your values and what do you want is important, even if you don't know exactly your niche at least you can make guesses, start learning and taking action, they gave you good tips here, hopefully is been helpful

To me, the real problem of trying to use affiliate programs in crypto or gambling...are quite similar to the problems in the porn sector.


Ad venues are limited - places where you can post about the topics are limited - and the competition in those niches is experienced and tough.

Dorian, use the "Quote" button when responding so we know who you're replying to.

Now...

Let me piggyback on Gordon:

Who do you want to IMPACT?

Who do you want to help, bring joy or relief to, improve something for, make better?

You'll be automatically enthusiastic about those things. Make a list. At least a half-dozen. Come back and share them.

You need the enthusiasm to fuel you because IM is a slog and there will be many boring days of showing up and not getting the results you want yet.



This is ultimately what you're looking for.

Ok guys,I've had a breakthrough or "Ah-ha moment".

There are these things we have all agreed(due to social engineering) to call niches. Within the niches are problems that need solutions.

The problems are very REAL to the customer, but the SOLUTION is very much subjective to them.

Think for a moment about a problem in a niche that you've solved.

What I'm trying to say is there are NO NEW SOLUTIONS. The same solutions have been presented from new angles over and over and over again.

Am I making sense or do I sound crazy? Lol.

You are making sense - but if you did sound crazy, you'd fit right in here

Well my friend you cannot ask for someone to decide on your niche .Its like going on street and ask someone to take a decision for you .The most important thing its to find the topic with the most passion but also the niche you chose it needs to have some affiliate products

Are you looking for a niche for an Ecom store or a blog? Or just can't decide the best business model for you?

For ecom, do consider seasonality, average order value (can you make money taking your CPA into account), ability to add more products and get repeat customers from email marketing.

Lots of great answers here!
I hope they already helped you a bit to find your niche.

I was at a similar point at that time and often asked myself which niche I could take.

but since i didn't feel i had any interests at that point or had nothing that interested me overly i automatically drifted into the make money online niche. because the only thing i wanted and was interested in was making money online.

and so i learned everything about affiliate marketing and my niche became just that, helping others to build up a business online.

over time i got other areas of interest like mindset, spirituality etc. that means if i would start again today i would know exactly which niche i would take.

i told you this because i wanted to illustrate that the previous speakers are right and that it makes everything much easier if you can choose a niche from the beginning that you feel passionate about. my path to online success would have been much easier that way.

nevertheless, it should also show you that sometimes you have to try and do things first. you sometimes find your passion only after you have started something that is not 100% suitable.

so don't make this decision unnecessarily difficult for yourself, choose something, start with it and if you realize over time that there is something else that triggers more fire in you then you can always change.

the most important thing is that you master the basics of online marketing regardless of the niche. a certain skillset is therefore necessary in any case.

good luck

Clearly, I'm not quoting correctly....what am I doing wrong?

Here is a list of people/solutions I could help people with....Let me know what you think, please. I appreciate the feedback.

Somone's who's had their reputations tarnished by the media(spokesperson or PR reputation site)

A person who suffers from shopping addiction(breaking the habit)

Men who need assistance(How to fill out the paperwork) while going through a divorce.

People who want to add humor to their writing.

Teaching First Principles of product design.

Teaching people how to remember names.

How to give a eulogy at a funeral for someone whose friend has passed away.

Elderly people who still have cognitive faculties but don't know anything about blogging/facetime/Facebook. Feel like they are missing out on seeing Grandkids.

This is it for now....

Are you you looking to do seo, lead gen, ecommerce, coaching? I would really start with that and then think about the niche. Just picking any niche randomly and then picking any random product or service is a bad idea in my view. You ultimately have to want to do the thing you are getting into and therefore you should try and focus on the area first and then select the niche. So what do you enjoy doing? What part of digital marketing excites you the most? What do you think will be around in the next 10 or 20 years? I would start with that. And then pick a niche that will also be sustainable and future proofed. If you focus on your skill you can ultimately do it for a variety of different niches anyway...

Use Amazon's categories or another big site with lots of subcategories and find one from that list....


Pick:
-one you know about.
-one you want to learn about.
-one that challenges you

Stick with something that interests you most. As long as its not something like knitting. Go broader, think real estate, finance, or business. These 3 can pay loads.
