A niche is a segment of the population that’s interested in a particular product or service.
For example, if you are looking at selling sports gear, then sports gear would be your niche.
A sub-niche would be football gear. If you wanted to go more specific in your niche, you could look at selling football gear to those that are tall.
Knowing a profitable niche is a great way to make thousands of dollars with affiliate marketing.
As you research and become an authority in your niche, people will look to you for advice. What is the best brand for football gear? Are there any concerns with specific football equipment? I think you get the idea. You become an authority in your niche and can help people make the right decision on what product is right for them.
So, what are some excellent niches that you should dive into to make money online? I have listed the top 5 niches available right now that are worthy of your consideration and some further market research.
Remember these vital facts about choosing a niche:
1. Every niche will have competition.
2. I like to begin on the broader side of a niche and begin to narrow the categories as I build out my site.
3. You need to know your niche, do your research.
1. Health Niche
The reason I added this to the top is that it’s pretty broad. The health niche is HUGE right now.
There are so many directions that you could head in with this particular niche. EVERYONE wants to be healthy and live a better day. If you can help people achieve their health goals, it could pay off for you in the end.
I recently began a website on the dangers of candida called thecureforcandida.com.
This site is my personal story about how I overcame candida and got my life back in order. By using my story, I hope to help people become healthier and overcome candida in their lives.
It’s great to begin a niche that is personal to you because you can use that as your inspiration to write. You want to be careful with following a niche that you’re passionate about but isn’t profitable. Passion is a great motivator, but it can’t be the only reason you follow a niche.
Feel free to check it out at thecureforcandida.com, and remember that it’s a work in progress.
More Examples
Here are a few more examples of health niches:
1. High Blood pressure
2. Exercise
3. Weight Loss
4. Diets
5. Mental Health
6. Baby Care
7. Specific Disease
Go Digital
Sell a digital product. Examples of digital products in the health niche could be exercise videos, nutrition workbooks or even cookbooks. The profit is high on digital products because there isn’t any overhead.
The possibilities are endless, and if you choose a broad niche subject, you could always branch out into micro-niches as you grow your site. I am a firm believer that you should begin broad and develop your site in various directions over time.
2. Wealth Niche
Like the health niche, the wealth niche is growing quickly. As people become more and more dissatisfied with their current employment position and seek out working from home jobs, the wealth niche becomes more and more appealing.
I have been an advocate of Wealthy Affiliate over the years. Their training has changed my life and approach with affiliate marketing, and I have always wanted to help others in the same way.
A site that I just launched not long ago called workingfromhomecanada.com.This is a perfect example of the wealth niche. This website focuses on work from home jobs in Canada. The idea of the site is to send people over to Wealthy Affiliate for training.
You can check it out and let me know what you think. Remember it’s also work in progress.
3. Love
The love niche is an interesting one for me. There are so many directions that the love niche could take you, but they all seem to have quite a bit of profit.
You know what they say, “sex sells.” That isn’t an exception in the world of affiliate marketing.
There are thousands of people making “good” money selling in the love niche.
1. Dating
2. Relationship Repair
3. Advice
4. Ebooks and digital products
5. Divorce
These are all micro-niches within the love niche. The list of topics is endless.
Again, you can sell an ebook, use Clickbank or sell products from Amazon. The love niche is broad enough that you could take it in many directions.
4. Hobbies
The fourth niche that I wanted to explore is the hobby niche. People spend a lot of money on their toys and recreation. By following a hobby niche, you can cash in on that billion dollar payout.
Check out these ideas:
- Hunting and Fishing
- Telescopes
- Drones – These are huge right now
- 3D Printing pens
- Boat Guide
- Sports Gear for Dogs
- Backyard Movies
5. Smart Devices
The last niche that I wanted to look at is the smart device niche. There are so many new smart devices that are available to you these days that it makes this niche a trending subject.
Everything from smart lights for Christmas to smart surge protectors. These days your house can be pretty intelligent with all of the new technology that is coming out.
Smart devices are not going away. As more and more everyday devices become more technologically advanced, a buyers guide is necessary.
