Niche Markets for Maximum Wealth

You must target niche markets for maximum wealth online. People talk a lot about niche markets in online forums, but what does the term actually mean? Simply put, a niche market is a sub-category of a larger market. The people who buy products within niche markets are typically very targeted, motivated buyers. Further, the niches in which they buy often don't have a lot of advertising competition. This is because there are literally millions of niche markets out there, and only a fraction of them have been discovered by affiliate marketers. If you can find an untapped niche full of hungry buyers, you're virtually guaranteed to make money.

Finding hot niche markets with little competition takes some research. However, the research is easy to do and the tools to do it are readily available online for free. Some of the best ways to find hot niches involve looking at Google and Yahoo trends, and seeing what's selling well on eBay. By looking at these broader categories of items, you can dig deeper to break the categories down into niches. 

Let's say you discover "dresses" seems to be  a hot search term on Google right now. Look around on Google for "dresses." You'll probably come up with millions of hits. However, break it down to "organic cotton dresses for summer" and you'll find a lot fewer sites. However, if you find at least 1,000 sites with this keyword, and there are some paid ads on the search results page, you've got yourself a hot, virtually untapped niche market.

Online auction giant eBay makes it even easier to find hot niches. The main page of the site lists the top 10 categories being searched. These categories are broken down into sub-categories in the categories menu. From there, you can see just which sub-categories are overflowing with buyers. If there are comparatively few sellers, but lots of buyers, that is a hot niche.
