If you're interested in how to find niche markets online, look no further than this guide.

First Step: How To Find Your Niche Market

There are four great sites for finding your niche market. These are: clickbank, amazon, dmoz, and dummies (dot com). Each provides a number of free ways to help in identifying niche markets. Visiting these sites will definitely help you find a niche market for yourself.

Clickbank

When you visit clickbank, click on the Marketplace tab in the upper right corner of the screen. On the left hand side, you'll see a list of topics. Click the general topic you're interested in, and you will see a number of products for affiliate promotion. However, you're not going to promote anything on your website. You're just going to research what sells. Use this website as a tool for finding niche markets related to your interests.

You can also do a custom search on clickbank to narrow your focus, then sort by Popularity (general interest) or Gravity (what's hot right now). The most popular niches are also going to be the most competitive, so keep that in mind.

Amazon

Amazon is the internet's leading online marketplace. Look through the hottest products in demand on Amazon. This can help you in finding niche markets for your general interest.

DMOZ

DMOZ is somewhat different, in that it doesn't tell you how to find niche markets that sell well. However, it does give you a sense for how to think about them. DMOZ is basically an archive of all the niches on the Internet, arranged from broad topics to narrow focuses. If you know you want to make money online and you know you want to find a niche market, but don't know where to start, DMOZ is a great place to go for ideas. At the bottom of your chosen niche, you will find a few websites that best exemplify that niche.

Dummies

When you visit dummies, you can find the hottest how-to topics on the Internet. Because people use the Internet to learn how to do things, the "how-to" genre can be a great way to target your chosen niche market. Simply click the general topic you're interested in, and you'll be taken to a list of the most popular niches under that topic.

Second: Use Google Adwords

Once you find a niche, simply visit Google's External Keyword Tool. Type a few keywords you want to use, then click search. You'll get a list of popular searches related to that niche. This will help you figure out what keywords you can use to lure people to your website, blog or e-book. Finding niche markets was never this easy.

Third: How to Choose the Right Keywords

You don't want to simply go with the most popular words shown by the Google tool, because that's what everyone is likely to do. You want to choose keywords that have less than 30,000 competing pages, but still draw in more than 200 visitors per month. This is the definition of a niche market: one without much competition, with a lot of potential customers. Google keyword tool will conveniently show how many competing pages and visitors per month you are likely to get per keyword. You can also modify your search to only include low competition keywords.

Once you find a niche market that you like and some keywords to go with it, you are ready to start creating content to draw interested customers to your site.
