Are you a budding affiliate marketer just starting out and unsure of how to find a niche to market a product for? Do you find yourself aimlessly wandering around the internet looking for profitable niches but not really getting anywhere? If so, then you need a tool that will help you with this.

Before we get to the possible tools out there that can help you find a niche, let us look at some of the basics of a profitable niche and so on.

First off, if you are a new affiliate marketer, you might be wondering what a niche is. A niche in the world of affiliate-internet marketing is a specific sector or market. For example, camping gear would be a niche market, or mountain bikes would be another niche market. With this in mind, there are probably millions of niches available to the internet marketer.

So what makes a niche profitable to the affiliate marketer? Well, a profitable niche is a niche that can be monetized. This means that you find a niche that can earn you money. Let us look at the camping gear niche. Suppose you are able to sign up as an affiliate selling tents. Each time a customer of yours purchases a tent via your website, the manufacturer of the tent pays you a commission. This is a profitable niche especially if your commissions out weigh your marketing costs.

A profitable niche also has a demand or what I like to call “hungry crowd”. This means that there are plenty of people interested in your niche and willing to spend money on it. Without a hungry crowd, you can have a great niche that isn’t profitable. So it is vitally important that you find that “hungry crowd” for the niche you select.

Of course, the key is finding these niches. One way is to pull together various bits of information surrounding a niche you are interested in and trying to figure out if it will be profitable. A tool available to affiliate marketers that helps find these niches is called Nichebot2.
