When considering an online home-based business you will probably have some ideas about the niche that appeals to you and these are likely to be based around things that you are interested in. However, making your business profitable in that niche can be tricky to get right.
There are two key things to consider:
1. Is it something people are searching for online?
Do some research on what are the most popular products people are buying by checking out Amazon and eBay.
On Amazon, go to Shop All Departments and you will be able to see the top best sellers in every category. There is a Hot New Releases tab too, which is updated hourly. Also try the Movers & Shakers tab which shows the biggest gainers in sales rank over the last 24 hours.
With eBay you can see the most popular searches, most popular stores, and the most watched items.
Another useful site is Global Sources Online where you can see the top 20 best selling items in lots of different categories from thousands of suppliers and millions of products around the world.
These three sites will give you important insights on where to focus your own efforts.
2. Narrow your niche so it's less competitive
Once you have decided on your niche, narrow it down from a general product to something more specific. For example, 'Pet Products' is a general.niche, but if you go for 'Dog Training Products' or 'Homeopathic treatments for Dogs' you have narrowed it down to something specific. You then choose appropriate buyer keywords to attract potential customers to your product There are many keyword tools available online, many that are free to start with, that you can use to research best keywords for your particular niche/product..You can do this by typing Keyword Research Tool into your search engine.
