Hi All,

I wanted to share a few cool resources for finding a good niche market. This is a topic is extremely in depth but I wanted to stay high level and share a few places that I discovered profitable niches.

I have found that just about every Niche topic that already has a book or a magazine dedicated to it, has a good market. It costs a lot of money to produce a magazine or a book and you better believe that a ton of market research is done before they are created. You want to narrow your topic down and make sure that it is a niche and not at the market level but here are some great places that I have found good niche ideas.

Amazon - if you go into the "subscription" section where they have all of there magazine subscriptions you can get some great ideas on profitable topics. Travis Sago and the other "gurus" always say that the best niches are in Health, wealth, happiness and people that are in some sort of transition.

Another good place is Barnes and noble. Take a trip to their store and pic up some magazines that interest you. Take notice of the articles and check out the ads too.

Dummies books - Check out the online dummies books store, and find some topics that interest you. If there is a dummies book written about it, you can bet your bottom dollar that there is a market for it.

Take all of the ideas that you get from these places and do your market research to see what ones are the best choices.

I hope that this helps to get you started!

All very true TSF - with a lot of good ideas. You can pick up just about anything these days, look around in your house for specific products, or even watching commercials on television.

Thanks for sharing this with our members. :)

I like the idea about the magazines. Also, look at what's on the news. The news is all about ratings, and they are going to cover what's hot.
