I am looking for a new and I have started this search method: I am going to a catalog of a product with several models. Then for each model I check the Demand using Overture then I check the competition using Google until I find a niche: a model that people search for but with less competion ! Is it good method since I prefer systematic research ?
Where can I find some niche ideas ? In other blogs ? In directories ? I really don't know where to start ! Please tell me your tips !
Try looking offline to find the best niches. Newspaper headlines and women's magazines are a good place to start. Then go out one day and just hang around watching people without your laptop. Take just a notepad so you can write down your ideas & work on them at home. Malls, coffee shops, airports, and parks are great places to watch people and see what kind of things they like to do.
I would write topics on things you like. Having your own site/blog with something that interests you will keep you interested. You will not be bored looking at similar sites as yours, which will thus enable you to diversify.
