Entire courses have been written on the art of finding a profitable niche so it is not always cut and dry, everyone has their own system for determining what is a hot niche. There are some guidelines you can use to help you find niches that you have a good chance of being successful in and ways of invading niches quickly so the “not so hot” niches you try won’t take up too much of your time.

Start by brainstorming a list of possible niches, things that you may be interested in writing about. Come up with as many niches as you can think of in 5 minutes, then stop and look at your list. Pick out the few that you are most interested in out of those niches on your list. Then do a little research to see if those niches will most likely be profitable.

Pick your favorite potential niche, then start looking online to find the places where the people in that niche hang out. A good place to start is forums, you can often find out everything you need to know about a niche in the forums related to that niche. There are people asking questions and others answering them, that right there is a very powerful way to do niche research. When you see a common question or problem, one that is asked more than a couple times, you have an idea for a potential niche invasion tactic. If you can create a product to solve the problem these people are having, it becomes very easy to sell to them.

Look around the forum or related sites and see if there are people paying for advertising to advertise a solution to those people. If people are paying money to advertise to those people you can bet most of the time that people there are buying. Look to see if anyone is advertising that niche on Google Adwords. If you do a Google search for that niche and see that several people are paying for Adwords ads to advertise a solution to those people you can bet they are buying.

Do a search for affiliate products related to the niche. If there are several high converting competing products then you are in good shape. If nobody has created an affiliate product for that niche you have to wonder if it’s because that niche doesn’t buy. So look for niches with at least a few competing affiliate products, you can use them to monetize the back end of your niche invasion offer you enter the niche with.

If you are having trouble thinking of possible niches to investigate, have a look around popular social areas on the net. Look to see what people are talking about and what “buzzwords” are coming up over and over again. Ask your friends what new cool stuff they have been hearing about or participating in and find out what makes them want to look for something online.

There are many ways and methods for finding profitable niches online, these are just a few of the ones I use when I’m looking for a new niche to invade. When done properly this is a very easy way of making money online. We aren’t just looking for needs or wants to fill, we are looking for those desperate “hair on fire” wants that people will do anything to fill and we are creating an inexpensive product that fills exactly their immediate need. Selling online doesn’t get much easier than that.

Some of the principles contained within the Zen belief system pertain closely to niche marketing as well. Don’t worry I’m not getting all esoteric on you here, but there really is some important correlations between the two. The Zen concept of oneness, being at one with everything can be a very powerful lesson for the new niche marketer.

As a niche marketer, it is your job to be inside your visitors heads at all times, to know as much as possible about what they want even when they don’t really know what they want. You have to come up with intelligent looking information and helpful products even when you know nothing about the subject matter. This takes research and a little understanding of your market.

Being one with everything in the marketing sense just means having an understanding of how niche marketing works and a basic understanding of whatever niche you are planning on going in to. You need to immerse yourself, in a sense, in that niche and experience it, as much as possible how your target audience does. Now obviously this does not mean go and divorce your spouse so you can promote a relationship product, or gain a ton of weight to know how your overweight crowd feels, that would just be dumb. The object here is to make our lives and the lives of our visitors better.

Go to the places your target audience visits and try to get in their heads, figure out what makes them tick. The more you know about your visitors, the more your work will appeal to them. Search for forums in your niche and see what problems people are having and try to figure out a way for your marketing to help them solve those problems. A lot of the times the answers are already there in front of you, you just have to try to become one with that crowd while you are there mingling with them.

Put your mind in their place. In your mind try to think about what it would feel like to have their problems, or wants, or needs, or whatever. Think of how it may feel to be overweight, the fatigue, the snickers and stares, the health risks, and the insecurities that come along with it. Think of how it may feel to lose a boyfriend, or have an unruly child or dog, or be in dire financial straights and you will be able to better understand what is going on in their heads. Understanding their mental processes will go a long way in helping you appeal to them in a unique way that not only helps them solve their problem but makes you a nice income at the same time.

Being one with your visitors really is the best way to sell to them. If they feel that you understand them and are genuinely there to help them solve their problems, they will put money in your pocket over and over again as long as you offer quality products and information and they feel you are genuinely there to help them.
