There is much agonizing on finding affiliate niches in the forums with some affiliates spending way too much time and energy on finding the perfect niche so I thought it time to put some thoughts together on this. There are many ways to choose a great niche both online and off.
Firstly lets understand what a niche market actually is, a group of people with a common need or problem who are facing a lack of providers of the right products. We often find that a niche market is actually a subset of a larger market, owners of Bengal cats rather than cat owners for example. This makes it much easier to target the group as they have more specific needs.
Most new affiliates start with something they are familiar with or have an existing interest in which is good in that they can find things to say about it real easy, they understand the attraction element of the market and therefore limit the amount of new information they have to take onboard while learning the marketing side. This is great but perhaps a little limiting for those who want to spread their wings.
One free way to uncover niche ideas is to go to an online directory like Yahoo or DMOZ and start by entering a broad term then exploring down the branches of results.
