One problem that many Internet Marketers face is coming up with ideas for niches to target in their online marketing. This can be equally true for both newcomers to Internet Marketing and also seasoned Internet Marketers looking for a new niche to complement their existing niches.

Fortunately there are a number of very useful websites that you can use as part of your niche research process. I have compiled a list of 20 such sites which should make your niche research much easier in the future.

What Are People Currently Searching For?

One way to gauge whether a niche is popular or not is to use some of the analysis tools provided by the search engines. These sites all use live information directly from the search engines to determine which topics are being searched for the most.

What Are People Currently Interested In?

Another way to gauge what is popular right now is to look what people are interested in reading about. These sites provide you with information about the top stories and blogs that people are reading.

What Are People Buying?

Obviously for a niche to be profitable you need to be sure that there is a hungry crowd of buyers waiting to spend their money. The following sites give you an insight into what people are buying:

What Affiliate Programs Are Available?

In addition to looking at the trends of search engine users and online shoppers it can also be useful to look at affiliate program directories. These sites have many different products listed in a directory format. Examining both the categories that make up and directories and the products themselves can give you some good ideas for niches to consider. There are also very useful when you have already decided on a niche and would like to find a suitable affiliate program to promote.

What Are People Reading About?

Another way to determine popular niches is to look what magazines are available. If there are several different magazines available for a given niche then there is a good chance that there will be a lot of people interested in products for sale within that niche.

Now that you are armed with this list of niche research websites you should fine it much easier to research and select a niche. If there are any other websites that you use as part of your niche research feel free to share them by posting a comment below.
