Why?

First of all, I really want to thank you for

downloading this eBook. I hope it’ll give you

some ideas and inspiration for your next

small online business.

There’s no noble “save the world”-like

reason for creating this eBook. At first, I did

it purely for myself. Over the past two years

I’ve been gathering various information and

research material about different online

niches that might be worth tapping into.

This activity has resulted in 190+ different

niche ideas.

However, once I had the list ready I thought

I might as well share it with my subscribers

as a way of saying “thank you” for being on

my email list. So I went ahead and created

this eBook.

Finally, for all my readers, subscribers and

friends, thank you!

Who am I?

My name is Karol K, but you probably

already know that. I live in a country

located in the heart of Europe – Poland. I’m

an online business designer and blogger.

In addition, I’m working o my doctorate

(computer science) in the Silesian

University of Technology.

I’ve been online since I was 13 – not the

most popular hobby in Poland those days,

by the way.

But my internet passion didn’t get me

anywhere up until 2001 when I got my

hands on some books about HTML and

started creating websites as a hobby.

Since then I went through school, joined

a university, got my Master’s Degree, co-

owned a web design company, became

a grad student, and started a blog –

newInternetOrder.

I’m an online business designer. “Who’s

that?” says you.

Quite simply, it’s anyone who wants to do

business over the internet. Online business

designers are not average, they are ninja.

They are the masters of things like: internet

marketing, outsourcing, blogging,

productivity, advertising, and more.

If you want to become one then the first

steps are choosing your niche and

launching a website. I hope this eBook will

help you to make the decision and get the

machine rolling.

What Exactly is This eBook?

First let me tell you what it’s not.

This eBook is not a business guide of any

kind. I won’t be telling you what to do to be

successful in any of the following niches.

This eBook has been created to be a source

of inspiration for anyone who wants to

create a small online business or even just

a small blog as a side project for the

weekends. It simply presents a big set of

real niches that have a noticeable level of

popularity on the internet (in terms of search

volume on Google, for example).

The niches are

presented in a

“root search

term” style.

This means

that you can

use any of

them as a starting point for both further

market and keyword research. The niches

have many related terms which can be

used as sub-niches, if you think the main

one is too broad.

What to do with this information?

Each of these niches can be used to build a

website or a blog around it, and then

monetize it further along the way. Since

we’re talking about monetization let me

clarify that I won’t be giving any advice on it

here. That being said, I’m sure you’ll notice

very quickly that the niches I’m providing

can all be monetized by affiliate marketing,

advertising, creating your own products,

offering services, selling memberships, and

many other possibilities.

Before you actually pursue any of these

niches remember to perform an extensive

keyword research around them (you can

use Google Keyword Tool). Make sure that

they are indeed worth getting into, and

discover some related terms to make them

even more laser targeted and focused.

Furthermore, popularity changes over time.

This means that some of the niches here

might not have a long life span. That’s

another reason why proper research is so

important.

As you will see in a moment, some of the

niches sound a little obscure, strange or

even silly, and there’s very little main-

stream ones on the list. That’s because I’ve

chosen only the niches that are not too

broad (so you won’t find anything like

“digital photography”) but they are not to

narrow either (so you won’t find “underwater

pick-a-stick”). They all have a significant

amount of traffic and attention online for you

to tap into and create your own site.

Plus, there’s a bonus chapter on how to

choose a perfect niche that’s 100%

congruent with who you are and what skills

you already posses.

Ok, let’s just get on with it.

What Approach to Take While Selecting Your Niche – 11 Ideas

It seems like every how-to post on blogging

or online business development tells you

that the number one thing you need to do

when starting your career is to find your

perfect niche. It’s difficult to disagree with

that because if you get this wrong

nothing else matters.

We all know that targeting the niche of

“everyone” is just a fancy way of saying

that you’re targeting no one. So here’s a

set of questions to ask yourself if you want

to find a tailor-made niche to create your

new business around.

1. What’s your job? What is it you

do every day?

Here’s a good

question to

start with. Two

reasons.

First. There’s

a big chance

that the number one thing you should be

building your business or blog around is

somewhat related to your day job.

Answering this question and being as

descriptive as possible can be a great hint

for further research.

Second. If you don’t like your job enough to

start another business in the same field

then why are you still working there?

The most important thing to focus on while

answering this question is the experience

you have gained in your field.

What are you experienced in the most?

What is the unique part about your

personal experience that distinguishes you

from the person sitting at the desk next to

you in the office?

2. What are you good at?

And I don’t only mean work. I mean it in a

much broader scope. Your hobbies,

interests, sports, hidden talents, you name

it. Just create a list of everything that

comes to mind. Don’t hold back. Even if

something sounds plain stupid, put it on the

list as well.

3. Name the rest of your hobbies,

interests and activities

You see, even though I said you shouldn’t

hold back I’m pretty sure you did. So now

name the rest of your hobbies and activities

you like doing every now and then. You

don’t even have to be good at them, being

interested is good enough. Now really,

really don’t hold back.

For example, I’m a fan of professional

wrestling. It’s not something I’m good at

(I’ve never been in a ring, nor will I try to

get in one in the near future) and it’s not

even a hobby, but I do enjoy watching it,

therefore it makes a point on the list.

4. What’s your level of comfort

when it comes to telling people

about your job/work, hobbies and

activities?

Running an online

business is no

different than running

an offline one. It’s just

like raising a hand

among a group of likeminded people and

saying something like “listen up, now I’m

going to tell you all about X.” Sounds scary,

doesn’t it?

What I’m implying here is that you need to

be really comfortable with what you’re

going to pursue. Sometimes you will

receive some nice pats on the back for



great and commonly agreeable posts you

publish on your blog, but sometimes people

will challenge you or even get angry

whenever you write something not so

obvious and less agreeable. You have to

be comfortable with your field to be able to

handle that.

So here’s a question: What are the top 10

things you’re comfortable talking about with

your friends or even strangers? Is it your

work? Maybe some of the hobbies?

Politics?

5. Choose the top 5 things with

the highest I-want-that factor

Now what I’m on about. Look at the list

you’ve created in the previous point (the

most comfortable topics), and try to decide

which topics have the best chance of

actually attracting the greatest interest and

engaging some real people. Find the things

that are the most likely to get people’s

attention to the extent where they would

like to join you in your adventure. Choose

five.

Here’s an example. Let’s say that, for some

reason, you’re a big fan of underwater pick-

a-stick. You find it the best game ever. And

every time you mention it at a party people

seem to be really interested and

entertained. But what’s the chance of

anyone coming to your place to have an

actual game? You get the point.

6. The way-back machine

Go back in time. Try to think of every past

activity you used to enjoy a lot, but for

some reason you stopped doing it.

This is a great way of finding a niche. One

of the most important reasons for

abandoning a certain activity is the lack of

motivation to keep going. Creating a

business and a blog about it might just be

enough motivation to start doing the thing

again, and enjoy it even more than ever

before.

7. What’s so special about you?

Is there something special about the way

you live? Or maybe about the

place/town/country you live in? Your

family? Your friends? Your car? Your dog?

Your diet? Your childhood? Anything. Just

make up a list of special/unique things

about you, your life, and the lives of people

around you. Who knows, maybe you’ll find

a topic for a new blog in your closest

environment.

8. Who do you know?

That’s a big one. For example, if you’re one

of the closest friends of Kanye West well,

that’s a niche right there. But you don’t

have to be friends with famous musicians

to pull this off.

Let me rephrase: Do you have access to

any unusual or unique sources of

information, expertise or entertainment? It

might be via a person, or via a secret

journal that belonged to your grandfather

you’ve just found on the attic. Take your

time to come up with an answer as it’s not

going to be the most obvious one.

9. Take the soon-to-be niches

you’ve come up with so far and

try to verify that there’s an

audience

The easiest way of doing this is by asking

Google for help. Just type your niche idea

in quotation marks and hit the search

button. Then just look at the number of

results. Anything above 10,000 and below

300,000 is niche enough.

There are many benefits in focusing on a

smaller niche that’s a part of a bigger

market. Mainly because you can find some



worthy partners, and there are more guest

blogging opportunities.

Let’s use my super niche example again –

underwater pick-a-stick. If I really want to

start a blog about playing the game here’s

what I should do.

First I should visit Google and search for

something like “how to play underwater

pick-a-stick”. Adding “how to” before the

phrase is a way of determining whether or

not people are already publishing

information about the particular topic. “How

to” titles are usually good indicators that

there is an audience for a topic (no

audience no traffic).

However, my example – 0 results. OK, let’s

broaden it up a little and search for

“underwater pick-a-stick” only. No results

here too. Probably not the best example

after all.

(Disclaimer. If you’re a little more

experienced with online market research

and keyword research, you know that I

barely touched upon the topic here. I think

that it’s not the time for doing an in-depth

research at this point. Now I just want to

find out if there’s any interest in the topic at

all.)

10. What’s your target audience?

I know it’s a little

difficult to come

up with this

completely out of

the blue at this

point, but just try

to wrap your mind

around this. Who

would you say is

the perfect audience for you?

Try to focus on things like: the country they

live in, their income, whether or not they’re

using the internet, their education, their

religion, their level of proficiency in the field

(beginners or world-class specialists, or

something in the middle), their age.

You can get some ideas by performing a

simple test. Try to find your soon-to-be

main competitor. Take their web address

and research it with Quantcast. Hopefully,

you’ll receive a nice portion of demographic

data.

11. Is your target audience the

audience of buyers?

This might be the thing that decides

whether or not you’ll be able to make some

money with your website in the future.

The easiest way of getting this kind of

knowledge is to find someone who’s

already selling something to your audience.

You can start your research on Amazon.

Just go to the magazines section and try to

find something regarding your topic. In 80

per cent of cases if there is a magazine it

means you’re dealing with an audience of

buyers.

If the Amazon test is a success you can

proceed to other online venues like Ebay or

Clickbank and find some products there

too.

Just 11 quick questions and you can have

your own niche by the end of the day.

But wait, there’s more! If you still can’t find

a niche then maybe creating a fake one is

the path to take?

Resources and Tools

Once you have your niche defined you have to choose a domain name for your website. I’ve written two articles that may help you with that: Which

One of These 3 Types of Domain Names is the Best One for You? and 6 Important Factors When Choosing Perfect Domain Name

Selecting a niche to start an online business around and blogging both require a very similar set of tools. Things like: domain, hosting, website

software (WordPress) and some themes (unfortunately, free themes are evil so it’s generally worth to spend a buck here). You can go to this URL
