How to Find Niche Market Ideas
90Tips and tricks for finding niche marketing products
Finding affiliate marketing niche ideas
As an affiliate marketer one of the biggest parts of your job is finding good ideas for products to write about on your blogs, websites, and HubPages etc. Sometimes we kind of get what I call affiliate marketing writers block where we can't come up with good product ideas for affiliate marketing. Well, there are actually NO excuses for not being able to find good niche ideas! In this hub I've put together a list of the best websites for finding good affiliate marketing products. As I use all of them for my online marketing I'm not going to put them into any sort of order. As an affiliate marketer it'll be up to you to go through my list and see how you can leverage these sites to making money online. Please stay with me as the list is kind of long. If you find this hub useful or if you find I've left out any important websites please let me know in the comments section and thumbs up below!
Update: Since I wrote this hub I've been using Micro Niche Finder to uncover some really profitable keyword tools. Try it out for yourself and you won't regret it!
Yahoo! Shopping
Yahoo! Shopping is one of my favorite sites for finding good ideas for affiliate marketing niches. Actually, in my opinion Yahoo! is doing a much better job than Google on this webpage. Here's how to use this wonderful tool to find niche ideas. Scroll down to the middle of the page to Shopping Categories. Click on anything - Sports & Outdoors for example. Now on the right side of your monitor you'll find Top-Ranked Products. This is your source for ideas. You'll see you can click on sub-categories such as cycling, skateboarding and golf equipment. Click on any category and start browsing the products. This list will provide you with TONS of niche marketing product ideas. Pick a product and start writing your review and see how it goes!
Amazon Bestsellers List
Amazon Bestsellers is the grand-daddy of tools for finding niche marketing ideas. At the top of the page you'll four amazingly helpful links: New Hot Releases, Most Gifted, Most Wished For and Movers & Shakers. Scroll down and you'll find all of Amazon's product categories. Click on any of them. For example, click on Watches at the bottom. You'll find a huge list of popular watches within the watch category. Scan down these product lists and you'll be sure to find a terrific affiliate marketing niche.
Shopping.com Top Searches
Shopping.com provides a wonderful tool for finding keyword niche ideas for affiliate marketing on its Top Searches page. Here you'll find all of Shopping.com's categories. Click on any of them and you'll find the list of 100 most-searched keywords for each category. This list list is updated every two weeks so it's always updated. Browse around and you'll be sure to find a good affiliate marketing niche idea.
MySimon Top Searches
MySimon, a comparative shopping website, offers a great page for finding affiliate marketing niches on its Top Searches page. Click on any category and start browsing down the list of keyword niche ideas. This tool is very similar to Shoppng.com's top searches page and is equally useful for finding niche marketing ideas.
eBay Pulse
eBay Pulse is an extremely useful tool for finding niche marketing ideas. Next to category on the left of your monitor you'll find a drop-down menu. Click on that and choose a category. After that you'll see a list of products. If you'd like to dig deeper into eBay's categories just click on the drop-down menu and pick a sub-category. You'll find even more niche ideas. Please note that a lot of affiliate marketers are already all over eBay Pulse as a tool for finding niche marketing ideas. So, for best results you might want to find ideas deep within the sub-categories.
eBay Want It Now
eBay Want It Now is an extremely powerful tool that you can use for finding affiliate marketing niche ideas. eBay's Want It Now site is a place where buyers can come and key in specific items that they're looking to buy online. At the same time sellers can come in and announce that they have a product meeting the buyer's demand. You can enter broad keywords into the search box or browse by category. Personally, I prefer to browse by category. You'll be sure to get lots of affiliate marketing ideas here.
Google Product Search
Google Product Search is another Google tool which can offer ideas for niche marketing. Check in on this page every day and sometimes you can find ideas here. It's a very quick check as there's nothing to click on. Just visit the page and you'll see a list of items that were recently searched on Google Shopping. These are basically popular highly searched keywords. If you can write a good review around one of these keywords you're sure to get lots of hits.
Google Trends
Goolge Trends is a list of the top most popular searched keywords on Google. It is updated every day. While this is a wonderful list of words that you can use just to see what's going on in the world it can also serve as a good list for article and niche product review ideas. Check in every day and scan down the list. From time to time you'll see names of products on the list. If you see one start researching and write your product review immediately.
Technorati Popular Tags
While Technorati Popular Tags is not necessarily geared towards online shopping it offers an excellent overview of the most popular searched keyword items on the Internet. Technorati categorizes and provides updated lists of the top blogs and Internet searches. At the bottom of the page you'll find top videos, top movies, top tags and Today in Pictures. Often in the bottom-left of your screen you'll see a product tag which can offer an idea for affiliate marketing.
Yahoo! Buzz
Yahoo! Buzz is Yahoo's in-house social bookmarking page. As far as social bookmarking and getting my links to come up in Google and Yahoo! search engine queries I've had mixed results. While Yahoo! Buzz isn't the greatest for finding products for affiliate marketing it can serve as wonderful tool to inspire ideas for article writing. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and you'll see a list of most popular searches. If you can write an informative and entertaining article on any of these keywords it will get lots of hits.
To your online marketing financial success!
I hope this list has helped you to find some good ideas for finding good affiliate marketing niche product ideas. With this list you have no more excuses to say I don't know what to write about! Now go to it and go out there and make some money!

Thanks very much, Rhonda! dawei888
Another good one. Is affiliate a big part of your business?
Regards..
hi rb11 - For now my earnings are pretty much divided between ebay partner network and google adsense. adsense is coming up though. EPN is very challenging. u have to put a lot of time and energy into your strategy. thanks for your nice comment, dawei888
Great share as always. May I suggest a "Choosing the right niche" subtitle? Because that's whats important.
A tiny market with much competition can be a waste of time and effort. On the other hand a little market with few or no competition could easily become a mini gold mine. ;)
Do you know a good software that checks the market competitors?
Thanks for the tip, I didn't know about yahoo shopping or ebay want it now.
Thanks JohnBoy & Hugh.
JohnyBoy - I agree that choosing the right niche is the hardest part of affiliate marketing it makes the difference between wasting one's time or making money.
Hugh - Sure thing on Yahoo & ebay - two great resources. thanks.
Hi, thanks for this list. I am currently trying to write as many hubs as possible and finding new ideas can be difficult. This will be a great help.

Hi. Great post, great list. I'd like to add one more great place to find a working niche. It's at a site called internettizhelper.com under "clickbank-website-for-sale". Here you'll often find working niche markets for sale with financial records etc (not to buy, but to see what's working and get inspired hereby). Not only will you find niche market inspiration, you might also find a niche market product idea (if you're into creating your own product). Morten
Hi Moren - Thanks very much for your kind comment. Where do I click on the site to find niche market ideas? Also, i think there was a type-o in the domain name above and think it should be: http://www.internetbizhelper.com/.
Thanks, dawei888
