Finding and Researching a Niche Market---The Easy Way

Your internet marketing can be a hefty Cash Machine if you use your email list effectively.
The first thing you'll want to do is figure out what you have experience in and what needs you've had in that area. Chances are, others have run into similar questions and tried to find solutions. Although not absolutely necessary, it is helpful to find a niche you know something about or take a deep interest in.
Go to Big Forums. Big Forums is a huge directory of over 21,000 forums worldwide.
The next thing you'll want to do is click on your niche area. Once inside that page, you will see all of the forums on that topic, what the membership is, and how many and what kinds of posts there are. You want to find a very popular forum with high membership and has a lot of threads and posts. The higher these levels are, the more active and popular a forum is.
Read through several pages of a forum and take notes on what questions have been asked, what products or solutions have been recommended, are there affiliate programs or products that have competitor opportunities.
Decide it this niche (forum) is filled with people who have money. Just because a forum is popular doesn't mean the members have money!
Go through Google and research what products are available to fill the needs of people in the forum. In this way, you'll have not only discovered a great niche, but discovered a forum you can advertise in right away!

Important Points to Remember with Niche Market Research:

Find popular and active forums through Big Boards.
Read through several pages of a forum to find out what people's needs are and if they have money to purchase your solution.
Check out blog sites. Many times the owner of a blog is also a member of a popular forum and the link will be listed.
Another way to find blogs and forums for your niche is to run a search on Google using the keywords. Input the name of your niche in front of blogs or forums. For example: hiking forums or hiking blogs.
Run keyword searches and compare your findings to top keywords to zero in on your niche.
If you have particular experience in your niche area, be sure to advertise that you are an expert in the field.
