Son of a Niche!
Thanks to the 30 Day Challenge forums, I have used a whole slew of resources to gather as many potentially marketable niches as possible. I used the resources stated in my previous post, in addition to many more that were added in this thread on the 30DC forums (8 Great Resources to Find Out the Most Popular Things People Are Searching For Today). I was also notified by Zoran on the forums about Amazon’s Most Popular Tags page. A whole lotta niches there!
I’ve gathered 44 potential niches, and as per Ed’s advice, I didn’t edit out any choices. I’m sticking with these until my market research says otherwise. I’m going to keep looking for the smallest, most obscure niches I can find until the new podcast and video are up and ready.
Before I forget, I started a brand new blog. I won’t be mentioning it here, but it’s a news blog in a very small niche that should be easy for SEO. Unfortunately it looks like there is some heavy competition for the top results on Google. Because it’s a news blog, I’m updating it every day, multiple times a day. Fortunately, my posts are short, concise, and link to the main article. It takes less than five minutes to search for, write about, and post a new article. Because it’s in a very small niche, after I have it going for another week, I’m going to start promoting it using the various Web 2.0 methods to see how much love it will get.
