The question is, do you want to know what these 'secret' niches are? you'll kick yourself for this when I've told you...
Just think of something that interests you or you think might be profitable. Go to Google, not the keyword tool, but the search engine, and type it in the search box. Do you see how Google suggests possible search terms to try and help you find whatever it is you're looking for? Well, these are the most popular terms being searched for by Google users associated to the terms you have put into the search box. Let me say that again, these are the most popular terms being searched for.
If you're like any other marketer that's looking for new niche markets, you've probably been brainwashed into believing that the best tool is the Google Keyword Tool, you know, the one where you go to Google and search for "keyword tool". If this is you then let me tell you that you're missing out on the real niches, the ones people are actually searching for - and the best news, is that to find these niches is also free.
If you use Google's keyword tool, then not only you are competing with millions of other marketers struggling to find a way to make some money, but - and this is the shocker - the tool doesn't even give you all the keywords that people are actually searching for. Think about that for a moment, you're not even getting the same keywords as the same marketing "teachers" who are using software to find all the niches you're not allowed to see.
Let me give you an example. Go to Google and type in "Plasma" and you'll see the most popular search is "Plasma vs LCD". Continue entering 'television' and you'll see "plasma television reviews", "..ratings", "..problems", "..for sale", "..repair", "..technology", "..calibration", "..history",:..life expectancy". Hit the spacebar and you also get "..stands".
Enter "..reviews" and you'll get "..2009", "Panasonic..", "Samsung..", "2010..". Already, just by looking at my television, I've uncovered fifteen niches relating to plasma televisions, including identifying that for reviews, I should research "plasma television reviews 2009" and "2010 plasma television review", an inconsistency I might not have spotted.
You always wanted a free and easy way to understand your potential customers, well this is Google telling you exactly what they search for, so take this information and run with it. Identify your preferred niches and then run your normal research to pick the goldmine.
