Internet Marketing Tips - Finding a Profitable Hot Niche

Finding a niche to market online is not rocket science, it is more a game of numbers. People often ask, how do I find a hot niche to market? Well folks for starters you NEED to stop thinking like a marketer and start thinking like a consumer. This may seem like a hard task to some but really its not, all you have to do is research.

To find a hot niche you need to find out what people need. Everyone has problems and most people want to know how to solve their problems fast. One of the first things a lot of people do is search Google. I'll let you in one a little secret, Google is your best friend, Google is every internet marketers best friend, all you need to do is learn how to use it.

Thinking like a consumer here, let's say I have a problem with ants and I need a solution now. What do most people with problems do? They head over to Google and type in, "ant problems" in hopes that they find a solution to their problem. Or they could just type in, "get rid of ants" or "exterminate ants", if they only want natural products they could type in, "natural ant killers". Finding the problem is only half the battle I'm afraid.

Your next step is to find out how many hits the keyword phrases are getting. You can do this by using any free keyword service tool, I like to use Wordtracker. All you need to do is type in the keywords or phrase you're looking for, this will give you a daily tally for searches for those keywords. This is where the numbers games comes into play. You want to find keywords that have a significant number of search, if it's too low chances are there isn't much money to be made in that niche. You can then take your chosen keywords back to Google to see what the competition is. This will help give you an idea if you're a big fish in a little pond or a little fish in the ocean.

Finding a hot niche market comes down to numbers, you want something that is being looked for but not so much that the competition is sky high. Take a day or two to do research on a niche that you think may be profitable. Once you've found out all the information and numbers involved decide if you think it's worth it.

Finding a niche that makes you money isn't that hard, sometimes all you need is a helping hand. If you would like more information on how to find hot niches, please visit Find Your Hot Niche NOW
