Right niche leads your online business to success and wrong won't. If you understand how to find a right or profitable niche, then you can promote any product or service successfully.
The direction is called a niche.The reason is very simple: You are not the unique seller online. There are many competitors about what you are promoting. So the key is to find a niche profitable and avoid your competitors.
A profitable niche in affiliate marketing should comply with below conditions:
- Be able to attract target visitors
- A certain amount of searches – generally, over 50 searches monthly
- Low competitions – under 300 competitors
Now let’s get to the point – how to find a profitable niche in affiliate marketing…

SEO Tip #2: Use google instant search – alphabet SOUP techniques
Tons of people search on google every day on google and their search records are stored in google database. When you enter keywords into google search bar, google would predict what you are looking for and give you tips from its historical storage. This means many people has searched this keyword many times. These people are your potential “audience” or customers.
If you have no idea of niche, I suggest you start with a broad phrase what you are interested in or familiar with and narrow it gradually.
For example, Ebook is a popular word or stuff online searched by millions of people and the phrase “how to” as well. Now we will see what the result is if we combine these 2 phrases.
Have you seen above search result? Google displayed the related searches automatically.

This is a really simple and powerful function for searching niche and keyword. I hope you can pay more attention for this technique. Try more times and you will find many amazing results!
