A good niche marketing strategy would be one that works! Finding a market full of hungry, passionate buyers and then get in front of them with your offer.

There are a lot of ideas and courses floating around today that promise to reveal the secret to finding the niche that is a gold mine and just waiting to be tapped. Many of these courses are very good, some of them …not so much.

In this article I’m going to give you some ideas of how to find a good niche market, what makes a “good” niche market and how to make money in that niche market when you find it.

What Is  A Niche Market?

A niche market can just be thought of as a sub set of a bigger market. So, instead of just trying to jump into the “dog training” market you should try to focus in on a smaller part of this market. Maybe something like house breaking Rottweilers, for example.

Also if you are in the acne niche instead of trying to promote a well known product like Proactive why not drill down and find other products that are still popular (just not as popular)?

You will have a much easier time ranking for those keywords too and a higher ranking means more traffic and that can translate directly into more sales.

Finding these  slightly more obscure products and niches will make it  much easier to find keywords that can still be profitable but that aren’t so competitive that it would be pretty much impossible to rank for them.

What Makes A Good Niche Market?

A good niche marketing strategy  is to find a niche market  that has a lot of potential customers who are really passionate about a certain product and / or are desperate for a solution to some problem.

But, that is only part of it. Passion will only take you so far. The people in that market need to have shown that they are willing to spend money on that passion.

Take my example above about acne products. People with acne are desperate for anything that may help them clear up their skin.

They will spend as much as possible to find the solution. That means it is a great niche market.

Make sure they aren’t just passionate about finding information. You want them to be passionate about buying a product that will offer a solution.

Where Do You Find A Great Niche Market?

When I am looking for an idea of a good niche to build another site around, I usually look around my own home and consider aspects of my own life.

Think about the products you use or want, on a daily basis. Then get going on some research.

Finding a good niche is as much art as science and after you have been doing it a while you will just “know” that a certain market will be a gold mine… or not.

But, until that point, here are some guidelines:

1. A market that is product based.

2. A market that has products that  solves some problem.

3. A specific product that gets a minimum of 1,000 searches a month.

4. A market that has an affiliate program that you can join and promote a certain product for that market.

5. A product that you can promote that pays at least $30 commission.

These are just broad ideas and a good place to start. You will get better and spotting potential as you go along, but for now, this should get you started.

How Do You Make Money In Your Niche Marketing Strategy?

Believe it or not, there are actually several ways to make money and you can use a few of them together to form your niche marketing strategy.

The two  methods I recommend are affiliate sales and Adsense.

Adsense is a program through Google where you place ads related to your niche on your site. When someone clicks on one of the ads on your site (even if they don’t buy a thing) you receive a commission.

For the most part, these commissions won’t amount to a lot but if you combine them with affiliate commissions and you add Adsense to many sites, it can add up.
