  • Cooking Recipes (e.g. a straight-forward, and well-defined niche, although you could narrow down your topic even further. You could focus on vegeterian recipes only, or both.

Hence, you’ll have to cover exercises concerning just about every tendon, ligament, and muscle of your body. This isn’t necessarily a bad niche to cover, as it will allow you to focus on a wider range of information. Thus, you can limit the amount of exercises, for example, having just 4-5 really great exercises for each body part)
  • Weight Loss Applications and Software (e.g. Here is a good niche, due to its current growth, especially with iPhones, tablets, and such. Hence, think about the type of apps, and software that could really help people in the whole weight loss battle. Give reviews of such applications and software, along with recommendations)
  • Weight Loss Books and Courses (e.g. This is straight-forward, but important nonetheless. Think of the many books being published on amazon and Kindle, even for free, that you can cover and review.

Cigar Cutters (e.g. you can become an affiliate for this niche actually, and show and talk about the thousands of various cigar cutters out there, that literally range from pennies, to a thousand dollars, for a simple cutter! Now if that can’t get your audience’s attention, something’s wrong)

1. A Day In The Life Of You - With a Notepad And a Pen.
Carry a notepad around for a day and take note of everything that happens, things you hear, read and talk about and any issues you have in the day. Guaranteed you'll have a nice long niche market ideas list.

2. Look at Your Hobbies And Interests. [Recommended]
These are often the best niches to enter in IF they are able to be monetized as you already know a lot about it and are passionate.
If your hobby is rock collecting then perhaps not but if you're into a popular sport or activities which you spend lots of money on then it's likely there's a lot of other people out there who do the same.

And taking it a step further, you could go to either Amazon or eBay and check out what they recommend to you (based on your browsing / shopping history with them).
These are usually best sellers and stuff that really sells well.

3. Look at Your Problems And Challenges (Health, Life, Dating, Money etc)
What problems do you face on a day to day basis?
What health issues do you have?
Any other issues like relationships or money?
Other people do too and your advice could be valuable to them.
Problem niches are the most profitable.

4. Watch the news, TV & Documentaries
The news is an excellent source for finding out about obscure niches you'd never hear of otherwise.
I've discovered untapped sleep disorder niches from watching the news in recent months.
I don't specifically watch the news to find niches but I pay attention whenever it's on.
Also documentaries and TV shows offer insights into popular topics.
If someone is willing to spend millions on a TV show it has to be a popular and profitable niche.
And you don't need much time to become an expert in any niche.
In fact, you only need 4 weeks as Chelsea proves here on how you can become an expert in any niche within 4 weeks.

Benefits of Selling a Niche Product

It may be tempting to offer customers a whole catalog-like selection of products, especially if you are using a dropshipping business model in conjunction with Fulfillment by Amazon. This combo makes it incredibly easy to list and fulfill a lot of different products, especially if you’re using inventory management software to automate order routing.
But there are some amazing benefits to keeping your product list short. Here are some of the advantages of selling niche products.

Increased Profits

It’s easy to get pulled into working with customers that take up your time and money. When your niche is well-defined, you can focus on selling to shoppers that are the most profitable for your business.
Lower Marketing Expenses

Because niche products cater to more specific target audiences, your marketing doesn’t have to appeal to the masses. This makes it much easier to create and optimize your overall marketing strategy.
Build Customer Trust and Brand Loyalty

As your ecommerce business grows, you will begin to develop a reputation as an expert in your niche. When you focus on delivering a great product and brand experience in one niche it is easier to build trust, credibility, and brand loyalty with customers.
Less Competition

You’ll find that there are fewer businesses selling niche products than general items, which helps a lot when it comes to gaining market share and figuring out how to gain a competitive advantage.
Trending Ecommerce Niches of 2017

Here’s a short list of the trending ecommerce niches of 2017 that will likely give way to new business opportunities and niche product offerings.
  • Baby Equipment – No matter what is happening in the world with the economy or in politics, babies need to be taken care of. The baby equipment niche (cribs, strollers, swings, etc.) targets parents of babies, of course, but also aunts, uncles, grandmothers, grandfathers, and friends of the parents.
  • Self-Care Products and Cosmetics – These products are a big deal right now. Specialty items like scented body wash and lotion, grooming kits, makeup, essential oils, and many others are selling like hotcakes. Organic and eco-friendly alternatives are selling big as well.
  • Craft Supplies – In the age of Pinterest and how-to tutorials, you can see why craft supplies is a growing niche market. Just about everyone has some sort of DIY hobby these days, and they need the supplies to do it.
  • Food – This may not seem like it would be a niche market, but it is. That’s especially true of specialty diet options like vegan, gluten-free, and organic food. The area that is going to have the biggest influence in consumer buying in this niche is convenience. Most customers who buy food online are willing to pay more for the convenience than supermarket shoppers.
  • Clothing – Recent ecommerce trends have shown that there is a huge demand for online clothing stores. Some of the popular trends in clothing are androgynous clothing, plus-sized clothing, and petite clothing that doesn’t look like it was made for a child. Also, there is a trend in big and tall clothing for men, as a lot of brick-and-mortar stores in that niche are closing.
  • Subscriptions – Subscription boxes are big right now. You’ve probably heard of monthly snack boxes, pet supplies, books, even socks, that are delivered at regular intervals chosen by the customer. These are an easy way to begin an ecommerce store because they are easy, popular, and encourage repeat customers.
  • Men’s Grooming Products – Men are not to be left out of the self-care niche. They take care of themselves now more than ever. And that shows in all the websites that are popping up. They cater to men, providing grooming products, beard care products, dollar razors, and more. Get in on this market before it reaches its saturation point.

How to Find Your Ecommerce Niche And Product

Still don’t know what to sell? There are some easy ways that you can research the viability of products and see what might work best for you.
Google Trends

If you’re not certain about the feasibility of selling a product, you can find out its popularity by entering it into Google Trends. The tool is free and it gives you an overall picture of search volume, trends over time, and whether its popularity is on the rise or the decline.
Find Online Marketplaces’ Popular Products

It’s easy to find out what the best sellers are on sites like eBay and Amazon. Regardless of what sales channels you plan to use, conducting market research on two of the world’s largest online marketplaces will help you understand which types of products are doing well.
Look to Ecommerce Niche Influencers

This may take more time, but you will find valuable information. As you are researching the products that you are considering, you will begin to run into the same names and companies again and again. It’s likely that these are influencers within the niche you are looking at. Pay attention to them. They probably have blogs and social media articles that discuss specific products and trends. See what they are talking about – you may just find your niche product there.
Read Trend Publications and Blogs

There are a number of trend publications and blogs that you can subscribe to. You’ll find information about trending products, business advice, and be better able to determine what people are buying online.
Here are a few options:
