When selecting the business niche you want to pursue, the first two factors are that you need to be passionate about the specific industry as well as be knowledgeable about the products and related information. Given the vast number of niches out there, the passion and the knowledge can come after your discovery if you're looking to tap into a unique market.



One way of getting into an overcrowded niche is to promote one of the programs on one of the big affiliate programs such as Clickbank. This is the area that most people gravitate too. The best selling programs generally have armies of affiliates competing for the same keywords. This is not an easy way to make money.

Instead of starting with affiliate programs that everyone knows about, look for privately managed affiliate programs that few people know about. One great way of doing this is by filtering through the Amazon.com list of best sellers. Generally, all the topics covered by these books have a significant audience willing to pay money.

One way of getting out some of these is to use "top 10" searches. Instead of typing "diet" into the keyword planner, go to Google and type in something like "the top 10 diet secrets." Then go through the list. On each site, use each of the items on the list as your new seed word for the Google keyword tool. You will likely find high volume searches you would have never found just starting with "diet" as your seed word.

Internet marketing is a great way of making extra money. However, you do not want to be competing in a niche filled with trained internet marketing ninjas. By using creative search techniques as discussed in this guide, you can carve out your own piece of internet real estate in a high demand low competition niche.
