#1 Way for Choosing a Niche with Lots of Profit Potential

Choosing a niche with plenty of profit potential cannot be overlooked. One of the quickest routes to a business failure is to pick a niche that doesn’t have the potential to bring in actual profits. The way to figure out which niche has the ability to make money is pretty simple. You just have to do your research.

First, you’re going to want to select a niche that you’re personally interested in – even if it’s one that you don’t know much about. You can always learn what you need to know, but if the niche is too technical or you consider it boring, you’re going to be as happy working on it as you would be getting a tooth pulled.

Choose a niche that not only interests you, but one that makes you excited to get to work on. That will keep you pumped and always looking forward to building your business. To find a niche that’ll bring in the kind of money you’re after, find out what the big companies look for.

What are the hottest selling items? You don’t have to know this off the top of your head. You can find these top selling items on sites such as Amazon, eBay, Facebook, or other market websites.

The bestsellers (just check to see what ranking the items have) let you know what more buyers are looking for. If you find a product on Amazon, for example, that sells well enough to be in the top ten, you know you’re onto something. Let’s say one of those products was a brand new fitness gadget and they were selling like hotcakes. There’s a lot of potential for tapping into that market.

Don’t forget to check out the self-help books to see what’s people are buying there. Books on depression, weight loss, and relationships always outsell others and that’s a clue to let you know that the market is and always will be wide open for self help niches and the products you can buy that deal with that subject.

If you become an affiliate, you’ll want to pay attention to the dollar amount you’ll earn by becoming an affiliate rather than the percent of commission. You’ll earn more money that way. Look for both digital and tangible products for your niche as well.

A really good place to find digital products that show you in detail how well they’re selling, what the percentage of the commission is, and how to set up for the best linking is Clickbank.

Make sure you don’t make the mistake of setting up a niche based on what’s considered a here today, gone tomorrow item. Remember the Beanie Babies? They were all the rage and people just couldn’t get enough of them. But where are they now? They fell off the scene because they were just a fad. You want to seek out a niche that has long term potential so that your business will thrive now and for many years to come.

A lot of people have made exactly this same mistake when choosing a niche by getting involved with some of the “gurus” who claim to have discovered the secret of making a fortune with no work. Those are some of the flashiest affiliate sites you will come across, with some of the most exciting ad copy you will ever see.

But these sites are usually just about tapped right out by the time most people looking to go into business online see them. The gurus are the ones who make all the money, and it’s over fast. As soon as people find out they’ve basically wasted their money, most will not admit it and ask for a refund, but very few more will buy it.

No – stick to things that people continue to want to buy when choosing a niche, and you can seldom go wrong!
