No CommentsI have mentioned The At Home Couple blog before because not only is it cool 
but it offers some great tips on building an online income.
At the moment Veronica and Elijah have just started a series of videos called the Passive Income Project and this is definitely one that it is going to be worth following along with. The first video in the series set the scene and outlined some of the key areas that they are going to cover. So far, so good.
The second video PIP Module 1: Finding The Money Niche steps it up a notch and really demonstrates some great tips for finding profictable niches, researching keywords and finding out which ones receive high search volume and have reasonable competition and then they show how you can set about monetizing these niches.
This is valuable stuff and what’s more it’s free, quality info. Check it out and look out for the follow up videos too. I know I will be. Race you to the domain.

2 CommentsIf you want to boost your online income, niche markets are your key to success. Niche markets are sub-categories of broader markets, and can be very profitable. The key to the high profitability of niche markets is their specificity. For example, it’s much easier to find and market to people who are interested in 1964 Ford Mustangs than it is to market to people who are interested in cars in general (or even Mustangs in general). Plus, the people who comprise your potential customers in niche markets are usually quite passionate about their chosen interest, and are ready to buy if you’ve got the right marketing message. So how can you find hot profitable niche markets to boost your online income?
Some people look at the headlines in magazines or best-selling non-fiction books for ideas. However, there is a much better way to find niche markets with the most eager buyers. One is to search on eBay. The front page of eBay will show you the top 10 most frequently searched categories on the site. These are categories in which people are actively looking to buy. You can then find these categories in the categories menu on the left-hand side of the page. Click on the appropriate category link, and it will show you all of the sub-categories associated with it. These are niche markets and if there are buyers on eBay then they are most probably profitable niche markets.
You can see just how many people are selling things in those niches, just by scrolling through all the listings. More importantly, to see how many people are buying and how much money they are willing to pay, scroll through the list of items for sale in that niche and see how many bids there are on the items there. If you find a niche with a lot of bidders, and with less than 1,000 items for sale, you’ve found a profitable niche market but with little competition. This is a niche you should get into and one which with a little research you can start to source products for, and by all means use one of the larger affiliate product providers such as Amazon, eBay, Commission Junction or Linkshare. However, there really are a wide variety of companies out there who have affiliate schemes and thus you should spread your net as wide as possible in order to profit from niche markets.
