The biggest problem that Internet marketers have when it comes to niche research is knowing where to even begin.

Do you choose a niche first?

Do you choose an interest or skill?

Do you just look up keywords?

Do you ask your friends? (Forget that because nobody is going to help you find niches. It’s one of the most competitive activities in the industry.)

Yes, it can be a daunting task trying to figure out where to begin. And the worst part about it is…there really is no one starting point. The reason is simple…there are many ways to go about doing it.

Having said that, what follows is my own personal suggestion on where to start. It’s not the only way but it’s the easiest way simply because it is what most people can relate to easier than other methods.

My best starting point is looking at my interests and skills. If I’m going to make money online, which is still work no matter how you want to slice it, I want to at least do something that I enjoy doing. So I’m going to write down all the things that I enjoy doing in a list.

Here is my personal list.

Music
PC Games
Movies
Writing
Programming

From this list, I’m going to look to see if there is any possible way for me to make money doing any of these things.

For example, I love to write. I’ve written songs, poems, novels, ebooks, plays and so on. Is there any way that I can use my writing to make money? Well, of course there is…lots of ways.

And that’s just one of my interests.

If I went through each one of them, I would find out that there were tons of things I could do to earn a living online.

And the most important part is this…I’ll be doing something that I enjoy doing. That is the beauty of this method.

So what I want you to do is sit down and make your list of interests and skills.

We’ll move on to the next step in the next article.

Good question. There are quite a few marketers out there who believe that all you need to do is find out where people are spending money (most of us know where that is) and just go for it. They suggest doing this without taking into consideration competition or any other factors. If money is being spent…go for it.

Truth is, there is something to be said for this philosophy…if you are an experienced marketer and know what you’re doing. Anybody with a solid marketing foundation can monetize even the most competitive niches. So for those folks, go where the money is…works.

But what about for the new marketer who doesn’t have a clue? Is he going to be able to take advantage of the health niche and go up against folks like Web MD? I have a pretty firm handle on marketing but even I wouldn’t want to go up against those folks. I still try to look for every advantage that I can.

That is the reason why I feel that niche research is so important. It will let me know many things, including how many people are out there with money to spend, how much competition there is, what products are already selling and so on. All of this information helps me in tackling a niche and getting the most out of it.

Is it a lot of work? Yeah, it can be. There is so much involved with niche research that most people don’t even realize. Over the course of the next few weeks, I’m going to go over some of those things. In the meantime, you can pick up my free report below and get a head start.

Niche research can be extremely helpful if you’re just starting out and looking for a springboard to locating those hot niches that aren’t so hard to break into.
