Locating High Paying Niches For Auto Pilot Riches
By odie | January 18, 2009
As mentioned earlier, one of the keys to getting into an arbitrage area that is profitable is locating high paying niches. You can go about it a very scientific way, using Google keyword research or you can go about it a little more artistically, by intuition and gut instinct.
It’s best to combine the two and find new niche opportunities that are starting to explode on the scene just as you decide to take advantage of them by building a website. Otherwise, these niches do tend to have life cycles of public interest that can ebb and flow like a tidal wave. Once it’s gone, it’s likely not going to continue to hold as much interest.
So, you have to learn to strike when the time is right, and that means when the topic or theme of the niche site is at its hottest point in the market. There are various ways to learn what might be on the top of everyone’s mind simply by looking at the news. Current events really are a great source of ideas for timely high paying niches. But, you can’t just take an attention-grabbing news story and create a site and call it a niche site. There’s more to it than that.
You will have to do a little research to pinpoint where the high paying niches are, even when you know what’s at the top of everyone’s mind due to the news. That’s because niche sites are set up to specifically target a demographic of people who will be highly interested in the niche enough to put money down on it. You have to know who these people are, how they are searching for information, and what products and services would most appeal to this group of people.
Potential Niche Markets
We start by figuring out what you’re good at. If you hold an expertise in any subject or field, it can potentially be a good source for a niche market. Apparently, you do not would like to pick something entirely obscure, but it is able to be the beginning point for your explore in determining numerous viable niche markets. From there, just start writing out a simple word list to figure out what aspects of your expertise might lead to productive niches.
So, let’s say that you have some experience in beer brewing. You decide this it might be a great idea to put up a site dedicated to the home brewing enthusiast. So, you start to brainstorm this niche, by writing out a the following word list:
” home brewing
” beer brewing
” equipment for beer brewing
” home wine-making
” recipes for beer
Maybe as you’re thinking about this niche, you realize that you really enjoy all manner of home preserving and canning, so you add some more word:
” canning
” preserving foods
” ball jars
That leads to the idea of books on these subjects and you add that too…
” books on home brewing
” how to brew your own beer
So, now you have some good ideas about not just one niche, but several, and some products you might want to target for direct sales (books) or affiliate offers (brewing equipment). But, how can you tell whether you’re on the right track or not? I mean, maybe you like to brew a little beer at home but how do you know that people are actively looking for this information online? How do you know it’s a good niche or not? That’s where you now have to do a little research with keyword phrases.
