I’ve tried out most of these! I’m a big fan of the Wonder Wheel, though you’re the first person I’ve seen talking about it. The one I hadn’t heard of was eBay Pulse, that’ll be awesome for a few things I’m interested in.

The suggestion of Market Samurai above was really good. Clickbank Marketplace is a good place to look – check out the gravity score for different items to see what’s selling.

Another (potentially obvious) place to poke around is on article directory sites like Ezine Articles. If those niches are being actively marketed, there’s probably a market for them. This would be a good place to look for loopholes, as in what tiny facets of these bigger niches aren’t being marketed.

Ooh, don’t forget to look on forums as well.

Doing a combination between all these are really important because a keyword tool may give you traffic data but you should also look on Amazon and eBay to see if people are actually buying products in the niche.

Find a niche that you can go after but make sure there’s a market!

Hi Adrian, that’s a really good point. I’d forgotten that one!

Although some things only have a limited life so you may have to be setting up lots of websites to take advantage of big news items.

Thanks for the comment!

Hi Matthew,
Some great tips for finding niche topics, markets and ideas and some things that I haven’t seen or thought of before. Another good source can be the news feed on Google to see what’s happening in the area that you are interested in.

Hi Matthew. It’s also good to know that there are (paid) tools out there like Micro Niche Finder and Market Samurai that are very good at finding niches that are not overly competitive. Using Google Trends or the Wheel is a good idea as well and it’s free — thanks for the tip.
