This is by far the number one question asked by people wanting to enter the world of internet marketing. And one that if you don't get right before you invest time and money, you will be paving the way to a dismal failure. There are three things that someone new to internet marketing has to do "before " committing to any attempts at marketing. Market Research, Market Research and Market Research. Affiliate niches can be so competitive that you literally stand no chance of competing in the marketplace against the competition. When you're talking about niche marketing, you want to be able to compete against low competition and high search volume markets (Niche Markets). Those markets can be very difficult to find unless you have a competitive edge in conducting your market research. There are a number of ways to manually find these markets using the available online research tools such as Google Insights, Wordtracker, etc. It will take time and a working knowledge of how to use these online resources to extract the data you are looking for, and often, you'll fine that either the competition is too high or the traffic is too low for you to be able to capitalize on that market. I recommend that you consider investigating some of the cutting edge market research software that will save you an unbelievable amount of time and effort when conducting your market research. One such piece of software is called Micro Niche Finder. I use this tool as well, as well as other tools, and can testify that the benefits this tool brings are nothing short of amazing. This link will take you to some really amazing videos on some of the capabilities of this tool. tinyurl.com/ 6jbeo9 If you're just starting out you might consider getting some top notch training and education for free at the Thirty Day Challenge website.
