According to the classical definition ,a niche is “A cavity, hollow, or recess,
generally within the thickness of a wall, or a statue, bust, or other erect ornament.
hence, any similar position, literal or figurative”.
Before you start creating your product, you need to select a niche with lots of
hungry buyers.You wouldn’t like to create a product in a niche where there are not
many takers of your product.Creating a product without first doing proper niche
research is like playing lottery and expecting to win.
Below are some common niche research techniques.You can apply these
techniques within minutes and all of them are free. In the end ,I have included
some of the evergreen, super hot niches for your convenience. In fact these niches
are so huge that you'll be able to generate substantial amount of income even
though thousands of marketers are competing with you.
1)Clickbank:
Being the no.1 retailer of the digital products,Clickbank is obviously one of the
best place to do your niche research.It has products in almost all possible
niches.The Clickbank marketplace provides you great opportunity to select a
profitable niche.

Similarly you would find it easier to relate to the “Dating” niche if you have some
previous dating experience.Women will generally find it easy to succeed in the
“Cooking,food and recipe” niche.
But………you are entering this industry for moneymaking purpose not for
pursuing some hobby.So you would first like to determine the profitability
and earning potential of the niche you are entering.
This is very important to make the most from your efforts.There are several ways
to determine if a niche is worth entering .There are several ways to determine to do
it.We’ll be discussing here a few of them.

The products in their marketplace are divided in several categories (a great no. of
information “niches” are listed there).You can literally replace the “Category”
with “Niche”.
Gravity is an index that varies according to the no. of unique sales made by
affiliates in the last 60 days.It varies from 0.1-0.9.The most recent sale is
assigned a gravity of 0.9 and it decreases down with each passing day.
A high gravity shows that a lot of affiliates are generating sales and the product is
converting well.Similarily a lot of products in a niche having high gravity means
that the niche carries great moneymaking potential.
5
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
Just look at the screenshot below.All of the products listed in the first few pages of
that category ,have very high gravities,meaning the niche presents great
moneymaking opportunity.
A total of 2,799 products are listed in this category and a lot of them are
enjoying extremely high gravities.
6
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
There are a total of 2,224 products and many of these enjoy very high
gravities.
The “Moderate Potential” niches will be having relatively lower no. of products
and decent gravities.
7
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
Take the example of “Home and Garden” niche.There are a total of 1,000 products
listed in this category.
The low potential niches will generally have fewer products and low gravities.
For example,just isit the “Politics/current events” category.It has only 12 products.
8
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
And most of the products have either very poor or zero gravity.
Now it’s obvious that this niche has got “Next-To-Nothing” moneymaking
potential and you’ll not be able to make any significant amount of money ,no
matter how knowledgeable and great writer you are.
In this way,within a few minutes ,you can apply the same exercise to all the
niches and figure out the lucrative ones.

The “Short Term” niches arise from the variations in economic and social sphere.
The “Water for Gas” niche was a classic example of the “Short Term” niche
sprung out from the change in economoic climate.It gained prominence
during the oil crisis and several information products in this niches gained the
highest ever Clickbank gravity(upto that time) during that period.
Another example of such niches is the “Green Products” niche.This one has
recently originated as a result of the growing consciousness towards global
warming and climatic change.
Then there are short term niches that gain prominence during events of global
importance.The example is “Computer TV niche”.The demand for such products
was at its highest during the recent football world cup and many vendors and
affiliates made great amounts of money.
Buzz surrounding popular celebrities and sports personalities may also give
birth to hot new niches and cause a few otherwise hibernating niches to burn
bright for a certain amount of time.For example,the death of Michael Jackson
caused the “Ringtone” niche to become WHITE HOT for the succeeding
couple of months.
In the past couple of years,popular Facebook games like Farmville and mafia wars
have caused niches to sprung after them.Many of the products in these niches have
enjoyed very high gravities.A few months ago,a Farmville product was having
500+ gravity.
The moneymaking potential in the “Seasonal” niches varies during the course of
year and you would need to look beyond Clickbank in order to uncover these
niches and determine their current potential.
For example,in the holiday season just before the new year,a lot of affiliate
marketers make tons of money promoting Amazon products.As a result,the
demand for information products in this niche climbs to it’s highest during
the months of October and %ovember.

Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
In their beginnings,these “Short Term” and seasonal niches are like an unexplored
goldmine.The first mover usually gets away with the lion’s share.Making money in
such niches is much easier,if you recognize them in their early stages.
Clickbank is the best place not only for your niche research but also for gathering
the ideas about content your product will have,it’s pricing, “How to create a cash
pulling sales page”, “How your affiliate page should look like and what the tools it
should have” , “Where to find the JV partners” , “How your competitors ads look
like” and several more things.Lets take a look at each of these points individually.
What you have to do is to look at the sales pages of at least 5 top products in the
niche you want to create your product.The standard practice while creating the
sales page is that the merchant enlist the topics(and describes them in brief) that
are covered in the product.You can include some or all of these topics in your
product.To generate content on these topics,you’ll just need to visit article
directories or make a Google search.
11
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
You’ll also notice that most of the sales letters in your niche have many things in
common.It means that such sales letters are proven to convert.You can take the
benefit of it,create your sales page yourself and cut the copywriting costs.
Just look at the top info marketers,they all have strong friend circles and are always
looking for networking opportunities.So in this industry, competition could prove a
boon for you. Here you make much more money by co-operating with your
competitors than trying to run them down.
2)Note down the addresses of your competitors’ sites.Then type the name of your
niche in Google search.You’ll find ads(may be their own,may be affiliates’)
leading to these sites.These ads will give you an idea about how your ads should
look like.
2)EzineArticles:
EzineArticles.com is the no.1 article directory on the internet and it contains
articles in every possible niche out there..Most of these articles are written(Or got
12
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
I click on the “Internet and businesses online” link .There are dozens of
subcategories listed under that link.
13
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
This is a great thing about Ezinearticles.They have already made your job
simple.By clicking on any of the “sub-link”,you can see all the articles on that
topic.
For example I click on the sub-link named “Video marketing” and the page looks
like this:
14
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
By carefully looking at the no. of articles in every niche,you’ll find that some
niches have more articles than others.This is a clear indication of the relative
profitability of the niche(as most of the articles are written by internet marketers to
either promote their own products or generate affiliate commissions).The niches
which are more profitable,have more articles under them than the less profitable
ones.
3)43things.com:
This is the secret site many top information marketers use for their niche
research.This site has a list of topics on the front page ,which gives you a clear
indication of what people are desperately looking for.You’ll notice that the font
size varies for each tag.The bigger the font,the more popular the topic is.
15
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
If you visit this site at short intervals or refresh the page,you’ll notice that some
new tags are taking places of the older ones ,providing you with more topics to
consider.This site is like a free keyword tool,providing you the rough estimation of
the popularity of each topic.
“43things.com is the world’s largest goal setting community.People here want to:”
You see random tags.The font size varies with the popularity of that topic.I have
highlighted some popular topics.You’ll notice that the most popular topic is
“Travel the world”.I can guess from the font size that thousands of people have set
it as their goal.
16
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
Now, “Travel the world” is a broad subject.You will need at least 500 pages to
cover this topic.But what about writing a quick 15 page guide on a popular tourist
destination like Florida.I bet ,it’ll sell like cracks!
The second most discussed topic is “Learn Spanish”.You see,there are millions of
people worldwide interested in learning Spanish.If you already know Spanish then
it’s great otherwise you can pay someone to write a “Learn Spanish” guide.
Again both of the above mentioned topics have potential to generate steady
recurring income for you.The travel enthusiasts will very willingly join your
monthly or bi-weekly membership club for a small amount of fee.You can just
create a small report every month on a popular tourist destination or on some other
travel related topic and provide it to your members for small charge.
You see,continuity programs win hands down over “One Time Download”
purchases in most of the niches .A prospect is at least five times more likely to buy
a $29.95 per month recurring billing program that delivers the full course over 10
months than the “One Time Payment,Full Download” that sells for $297.
There are some other very popular topics like “Get out of debt”, “Learn to play the
guitar”, “Exercise regularly”, “Be more confident”, “Read more books” , “Stop
biting my nails”, “become less stressed” , “anxiety disorders” and so on.Millions of
people are interested in these subjects.Properly market your short reports and your
bank balance will never be short again.
4)Online Forums:
These are my personal favorites.The data you gather from forums ,the problems
you see raised at these forums and the ideas you generate at these forums are some
of the most accurate information you get about your chosen niche.At these forums
you come across your future buyers.These are real people with real problems and
online forums provide you a chance to spy on them without they ever knowing
about it.
There is no better way to know about the exact problems your prospects are facing
than watching live discussions going on at some of the top forums in your
niche.You can register at some of these forums and carry your research one step
17
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
further by participating in the discussions and asking people to tell you the
problems they need to get solved.
The site above contains lists of top forums in almost every major niche.You can
also use Google search for this purpose.Just type “your niche+ forum” in the
search box and visit as many links as you like.
It has the biggest database of online forums with hundreds of subcategories.In the
right it lists 5 fastest growing forums in various niches.This provides you a rough
indication of what is becoming popular.There is also a list of already popular
Categories:
18

19
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
It’s “Sort By” function will save you a lot of time.You can sort here the forums in
your niche according to the no. of members,no. of posts,traffic and Alexa
ranking.This is especially helpful when you deal with relatively unfamiliar
niche.You can do this sorting kind of thing via Google too but using big-boards’
“Sort By” function will save you hours of time.
Now if you want to search through Google then just type “Name of your
niche+forum” and it’ll present thousands(millions in case of big niches) of
matching results.Usually the top ranked forums are the best ones.You can visit as
many of them as you like but visiting 3-4 of them is sufficient for niche research
purpose.
20
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
“I want”
“I need”
“How can I”
“I wish”
“I have to”
Now you have to adjust your keywords with the above mentioned search terms.For
example:
Just use your commonsense and you’ll be having no difficulty in finding hundreds
of threads pointing you towards some pressing problem.
21
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
5)Yahoo! Answers:
With a userbase of over 90 million,Yahoo! Answers is the biggest online
knowledge community.Here registered users ask questions and other members
answer them.In the end a “Best Answer” is selected.You’ll find here questions
asked in every possible niche.There will be some questions which are being asked
over and over again.Note these questions(In your selected niche).You’ll be using
them for topics in your report.
Yahoo! Answers is not only a great place to do niche research,you’ll gain a lot of
knowledge here .In many cases,you’ll find that you don’t need any extra source of
information after skimming through the answers at Yahoo! Answers.
The use of Yahoo! Answers doesn’t end here.It’s a great traffic source too.The
traffic from this source is one of the most targeted traffic you can get online(I’ll
discuss the use of Yahoo! Answers as a traffic source in the later chapters of this
report).
6)Google Groups:
Another great place for your niche research.Some of the groups in big niches have
tens of thousands of members.You’ll find hundreds of such groups in any
niche.These groups work essentially as the forums but people here have more faith
in other members.These are very closely knit communities.
Visit any of such groups and you’ll find threads on several topics in your
niche.These threads provide you excellent opportunity for your niche research and
also to interact with other members.Being smaller in size(than forums),these are
closely knit communities and can provide you with highly targeted traffic once
your report is ready(I’ll discuss the traffic generation aspect in later chapters).
7)Facebook Groups:
Like Google,Facebook too has its own groups that are frequented by millions of
users.Just go to Facebook and search for “your niche+ group”.
8)Magazines:
22
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
Magazines can be a good indicator of what kind of information are people actually
buying.If people are paying for the subscription of a niche specific magazine then
they’ll also not hesitate to take out their credit cards to get related info products.
For example:
Global warming is a hot topic now and a lot of people prefer green energy.You can
easily gather information on “how to help controlling global warming and save
money in the process”.Do you remember,a few years back there was a product
called “Water4Gas” on clickbank.It was the most popular product during the recent
oil crisis.With oil prices skyrocketing,this info product touched the highest gravity
of 970(probably the highest in clickbank history).
There were several products which were just copy of this one.They too sold
thousands and thousands of copies.Global warming is a hot topic currently and it’ll
always be hot.You can create a info product on “green energy” or “how to save
energy and control global warming”.I bet any product(properly created and
marketed) on these topics will go viral and the product owner will be very rich in
no time.
10)Amazon.com:
Amazon.com is also a great place for brainstorming.It contains thousands of books
in every niche.Carefully look through the bestsellers list in your niche and you’ll
get several niche ideas.You can go one step further and buy a few of these
books.They’ll provide you ideas and content for your upcoming info product.
First go to http://Amazon.com ,on the front page you’ll see a link named
“Business and Investing”
23
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
Click on that link and you’ll see a link “Marketing and Sales”
Click on that link and you’ll see the list of books in this category.There are a total
of 284,129 books related to “marketing and Sales”
24
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
The beauty of Amazon is that they allow you to read first few pages of the
book.This helps you in formulating ideas about the topic concerned.You can also
get a lot of ideas from the customer reviews.
10)Google Trends:
These trends reflect the currently popular topics.These trends reflect the topics
searched by millions worldwide and can be big money spinner if you are quick to
spot them and quick to act.The downside of these trends is that these are short
lived and you’ll have to be smart enough to be present and act at the right time.
11)eBay:
You may wonder at this selection.What was the need of including an auction site??
You may ask.Well,eBay is big enough to reflect the trend of the whole internet
community.If people are searching for some niche specific item on eBay then you
can be assured that there will be demand for related info products too.
Just go to:
http://pulse.eBay.com
and look trough the ten most searched phrases in various categories.You’ll
certainly generate a ton of niche ideas.
25
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
These two services are great ,both for the newbies as well as experienced
marketer.It’s like getting a fully researched niche without having to pay a penny
and they deliver a new niche every day.
I have been using the first service(NicheADay) for the last one year and I can
confidently say that this is probably the most thoroughly searched information
you’ll ever find for FREE.They send you a content packed e-mail everyday
revealing a hot niche plus up to 1,000 related keywords in spreadsheet showing
you how many times a particular keyword has been searched over the past one
year.
15)Twitter Trends:
With millions of active members,Twitter is big enough to reflect the attitude
,likings and trends of whole online community.These trends are based on the no. of
times that topic has been mentioned in the tweets.With Twitter having tens of
millions of users,the most popular of these topics generally have hundreds of
thousands of people interested in them.
You have to be smart enough to benefit from these trends.These trends are short
lived but you may earn a very nice short term income with them.Also,you don’t
need to worry about finding targeted traffic as you can simply join Twitter,start
26
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
following a few hundred of those people and start tweeting about product.I’ll
describe this thing in proper detail in the later chapters.
In order to make the optimum use of your time and efforts,you’ll first need to
determine if these prospects are ready to spend money on your material…
The method I am going to tell you now is the easiest method to determine relative
profitability of niches.
Google is the no.1 search engine and it gets more than 70% of all the searches.In
fact,in majority of the cases,an internet “purchase” starts with a search in
Google…………..Using the Google search,you can determine the profit potential
of a niche in seconds.
When you search for a term in Google,you see two types of listings:
i)Organic listings:
These are natural search results and these sites are ranked according to their
relative importance.
ii)Sponsored Ads:
These are paid listing and runs alongside the natural results.You’ll see them at the
top and right side of the page(at most 3 at the top and eight in the right side of the
page).
If you visit the landing pages of these ads,you’ll notice that most of these ads
belongs to either affiliates or product owners.
27
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
These people use Google adwords to advertise their product and services and if
there are a lot of ads associated to keywords in your niche,you can be certain that it
has a lot of moneymaking potential.
Just type the name of niche in Google search box and hit the “Search” button. In
case of lucrative niches ,you’ll notice that almost all the slots for sponsored ads are
full………The no. of these ads will be less in case of moderately profitable niches
and there will be fewer or no ads when you enter keywords related to low potential
niches.
28
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
You’ll notice that “moderate potential” niches have less no. of ads.For
example,I search for the term “Golf Training”
29
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
You can see that this niche has got potential,but not as great as the “make
money”,“dating” or some others.
Then there are niches that get a lot of searches but have “next to nothing”
moneymaking potential.
30
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
So this is how you can filter lucrative niches from the lower potential ones.
By using the above mentioned techniques to uncover niches with large prospects
bases and applying the Google method to determine their profitability ,you’ll never
again run out of lucrative niches,without having to pay for any niche research tool.
How much money you make from these niches will depend on your ability to
create(or get created) new products fast.Many niches are short lived and in
order to make money from them,you’ll need to position yourself early.
Here outsourcing can be of great help to you.Once you build a dependable team of
freelancers,all you’ll have to do is find lucrative niches,convey your plan to your
team ,apply the traffic getting methods mentioned in the later chapters of this book
and watch the money role in.
31
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
Below I am giving you a few of the “Currently Hot” niches.These have proven to
be filled with desperate buyers and you can expect to make a lot of money by
having an info product in any of these niches.
Make Money
Wealth is a perennial need of mankind .Some people need it to fulfil their daily
needs, while others to improve their lifestyle,increase social status and have more
power over others.With downturn economy and bleak job market,people are
turning more towards the internet to make some extra money or to generate a job
replacing income.
The term “Make Money” gets 2.74 million monthly global searches.
32
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
The phrase “Make Money Online” gets 368,000 searches a month and the
term “Making Money Online” gets even higher no. of searches
These are some big numbers which show that millions of people worldwide
are looking for information on “How To Make Money On Internet”.
Please note that these are basic terms and mostly searched by newbies who
don’t know about any other IM resource(article directories,forums or
33
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
Just look at the screenshot above.A quick search for the term “Make Money”
shows that there are 954 million related websites and take a look at sponsored
ads.All the slots are filled…….Extremely lucrative niche.
This mega niche includes several million dollar sub-niches.Some of these are:
Internet Marketing
This one is the biggest sub-niche inside the “Make Money” mega niche.The
internet marketing ,in general, is the process of selling products and services over
the internet.
34
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
This sub-niche is the most organized and competitive of them all.Big scale joint
ventures and million dollar product launches have become a common feature.With
the advancement in technology,dozens of sophisticated traffic generations methods
have been developed and the lower hosting costs and easier video streaming
facilities have allowed the marketers to share their knowledge in audio-video
format.
The downturn economy and depressing job scenario in the recent years have
compelled more people to look for alternative souces of income and the internet
being the easiest and fastest medium of communication,is fast becoming the
biggest source of hope for such people.
Forex
Over $3 trillion of business is done everyday on the forex market .Like other
online moneymaking methods,all a prospect needs to get involved in forex market
is a computer and a credit card .
This niche has millions of users and forex related products have always been hot
on the clickbank.Look at the marketplace and you’ll find several of them having
very high gravities.Forex related e-books,multimedia training and forex robots
have been selling like hot cakes and this trend is expected to continue in the
coming years too.
In forex trading,a lot of money can be made and lost within seconds.It’s
unreliability and high earning potential create a lot of scope for information
products.
The forex niche is equally suitable for both the information products and
softwares(forex robots).Several forex robots like “FapTurbo” has been very
successful in the past two years.A majority of the prospects in this niche are
opportunity seekers and you can easily sell other moneymaking products to them.
This niche has a lot of repeat business potential as the market is constantly
changing and new strategies are being evolved on a daily basis. Forex trading is a
35
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
continuous practice and you can easily create monthly subscription sites by
breaking down your product in parts.The same is true for the softwares.Instead of
charging a hefty one time fee,you can get many more customers by converting it
into a monthly subscription program.
A quick search for the phrase “Work At Home” with Google Keyword Tool
returns results like these(Please Increase your zoom level to see the image
properly):
36
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
The phrase “Work At Home” gets around 1.5 million global monthly
searches.
The term “Part Time” gets around 4.09 million searches and its variation
“Part Time Jobs” gets 1.83 million global monthly searches
Now you can see that there are millions of people worldwide who are looking to
find some “Work At Home” job or “Part Time” work to either earn a livelihood or
supplement their existing income.In fact,this niche has got more prospects than our
traditional Internet Marketing world.
Actually most of these people get lost in the vast sea of internet opportunities and
become hopelessly confused.
37
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
There are a lot of opportunities here.This niche carries huge passive income
potential in form of affiliate promotions.You can simply create a work at home
guide containing your affiliate links to legit survey sites,freelancing
sites,freebie(incentive) sites ,GPT sites etc and enjoy nice amount of passive
income in form of affiliate commissions.
The beauty of this niche is that hoards of these people will join and work under
your referral links,thus earning you nice amount of residual commissions month
after month.
Once you have enough no. of prospects in your list,you can start your own survey
site or GPT site where the users are rewarded for doing small tasks.In fact ,there
are several such sites that make more money in a month than most of the internet
marketers make in a year.
Real Estate
In the past decade,real estate has created as many (if not more) millionaires as
internet.Though this is “Brick and Mortar” industry ,you’ll be having no difficulty
in finding buyers for your e-books and e-courses.
You might have heard about the “Carlton Sheets No Money Down Real Estate”
program.Instead of himself buying and selling houses,Carlton created a home
study course and advertised it via TV and print media.The infomercial ran for
several years and he made multi-million by creating a product on an in-demand
topic.I am uncertain if he would have made that much by buying and selling
houses.
This niche is rather under exploited as far as info products are concerned and you
can take advantage of it.
38
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
eBay
eBay is big enough to be counted as a full fledged niche.Millions of people
worldwide are trying to earn their livelihood by selling items on the biggest auction
site in the world.However,most of them don’t possess the know how to make
enough amount of money to support their families.These people are the perfect
prospects for the information marketers.
The competition in this niche is not very high and there is a lot of scope for the
new entrants. This niche carries great repeat business potential because these
prospects are opportunity seekers and you can easily sell them other moneymaking
products.
Also,you can join the eBay affiliate program and make $20 per person who joins
under your affiliate link.A lot of people who want to make money via eBay still
don’t have an eBay account.They can make you a lot in affiliate commissions.
Web Design
Every month ,millions of new people come to the internet in search of
moneymaking opportunities.To start a business on internet,the first requisite for a
person is a website.Most of the newbies don’t possess the skills to design an
attractive website.If you can show them how to design a website from
scratch,they’ll not hesitate in gifting you with cash.
Products in form of step by step video tutorials are the most in demand info
products in this niche.Even simple products on Wordpress and Joomla have done
exceedingly well.
The best thing about this niche is that besides making you upfront profits,your
information products can make you hefty affiliate commissions.Hosting affiliate
programs,pay very well(upto $150/lead and more) and you can generate steady
amount of leads by offering pre-maid templates and free wordpress installation to
the people who bought your information product.
39
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
Adsense
The Google Adsense program has provided millions of webmasters worldwide an
opportunity to monetize their content and generate passive income while doing
what they love to do.
Most of the Adsense enthusiasts lack this information.The result being that they
either make very little money or fail to make money altogether and when they fail
to achieve their goals,they start searching high and low for information.It has
created a big market for information products and you can tap this market by
creating e-books and video tutorials on “How To Make Money With Adsense”.
SEO
Search Engine Optimization(SEO) is one topic that is not going to lose its
relevance till internet exists.Newbies and advanced marketers,small and big
corporations,online and offline businesses ,all want to get their site on first page of
Google.Who won’t like to get highly targeted traffic for free?
40
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
SEO products and services have been in demand since the start of internet and
these things are never going to lose their charm.Can you forget about the success
of Stompernet?
Starting with a little report on how to get quality backlinks,you can go on to create
your own company to provide SEO and backlinking services and consultation.
There are several underground entrepreneurs who make more money in a month
providing these services than most of the Clickbank marketers in a year .Think for
a moment about local businesses who would pay you thousands of dollars to get
their site on first page of Google.
The whole SEO process can be outsourced for very cheap and you can make
hundreds of thousands by just being a middleman.
Local Marketing
Local businesses spend billions of dollars on online advertising and these people
have very little knowledge of internet marketing.They would happily pay you
thousands of dollars for your consultancy service,seminar or SEO services.
A few internet marketers who are well versed in finding “local” clients and getting
the deals done,are making hundreds of thousands a month,which is simply a far
dream for most of the IMers who are trying to sell to other internet businesses.
As it is being increasingly obvious that one can make far more catering to the
“offline” clients,more and more IMers are entering this space and there is still not
much information on this subject.In the past year alone several products have been
launched in this niche and most of them have done exceedingly well.

Health&Fitness
Looking at the market size and profit potential,this is probably the biggest market.
Just look at the screenshot below:
The term “Weight Loss” is getting 6.12 million monthly global searches.
This niche is never going to be down or saturated. Filled with desperate buyers, it’s
proving to be a perennial goldmine for many marketers. Recently I came to know
that a simple, $47 priced product named "FatLoss4Idiots" has generated over
$21million in sales in the year 2008 alone.
The current most popular product in this niche (TruthAboutAbs) has a gravity of
more than 600(at the time of writing) and said to be generating over $4
million/year for it’s owner………Just imagine making $4 million per year in net
profits for a one time effort!Now his affiliates are doing all the work while he may
be enjoying his good fortunes ,holidaying in the Caribbean.
Many of the affiliates promoting these products are making over $1000/day just by
sending traffic to a cheap $29.95 or $39.95 e-book. Such is the potential of this
niche!
Now more and more people worldwide are becoming health conscious and are
coming to the internet to search for instant solutions to their problems. You just
42

have to present simple solutions to their needs and they’ll not be thinking for a
moment to reach out for their credit cards.
Passive income potential is great in this niche especially in the fitness and Weight
Loss subniches.Lets take a look at the sub-niches:
i)Weight Loss:
This one is the biggie.With $100+ Billion every year spent on weight loss
diets,pills,memberships and manuals in the US alone ,the earning opportunity in
the weight loss market is immense.
Just look at the sponsored ads.All the slots are full and it shows that a lot of
people are making money in this niche.
This market carries a lot of repeat business potential as weight loss is something
which takes a lot of time.You can simply create a membership site and enroll your
customers into it for a fixed monthly fee to get new information.
43
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
Plus you can seamlessly promote CPA products to the people who buy your
information product .Diet Pills,hunger suppressants,diet supplements to name a
few are perfect match for the needs of these prospects.
Many people misjudge the weight loss niche with this niche,while the matter of
fact is that these two are quite different,many people who are highly interested in
losing weight may have no interest in gaining muscles.
This can work to your added advantage if you don’t know about exercises and
fitness regimens.Just find a bodybuilder ,pay him to demonstrate the exercises and
use a camera or your webcam to create the videos.
He sold so many copies of his course that he was making as much as $100
million/year at the peak of his program.
iii)Stress Management:
In todays world,you’ll hardly find any person who is not going through one or
other kind of stress.Stress is everywhere- employees are loosing jobs,business
owners are loosing their income due to bad economy,lack of time and commitment
44
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
is breaking marriages like never before and parents are stressed with the problems
created by their children.
In this scenario,the demand for stress management courses is higher than ever
before .This sub-niche is closely related to “self improvement” niche and you can
tap it by either including a chapter on it in your broad self improvement manual or
you can create small reports and sell them individually.
Again,continuity programs and membership sites are better suited to this niche
than “one time download” products and you can create a very healthy passive
income for yourself by creating a monthly memberships program and getting a few
hundred members.
It can’t be said that this niche is as big “weight loss” or “Fitness Training”,but it’s
evolving and expanding fast and is expected to be a major segment of health
market in the next 10-20 years.
Relationships
It’s just natural for the human beings to yearn for love,security and
companionship, so like the abovementioned niches this one is also never going to
lose its charm.
According to Google keyword tool,the term “Dating” has been searched 13.6
million times in the past month alone.
45
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
Hectic working schedules and busy lifestyles have left very little time for a great
no. of people to search and find love offline.As a result,More and more people are
resorting to internet to find love and companionship. This niche is directly related
to human heart so you have the killer opportunity to attack on this ever present
need and benefit in the process.
This niche too carries great “recurring income” potential.Though your prospects
won’t be buying a dating guide every week,you can use your info product as a
stepping stone for your own dating site or forum.These sites can be excellent
source of recurring income.
You might be already aware of the tremendous success of paid dating site like
Friendfiender,Match.com or Chemistry.com.They have membership count in
millions and owners of these sites are making multi-millions per month.Just
replicate them,price your membership lower and you are good to go.
Free continuity programs are also a great success in this niche.For an example you
can start a dating forum for your buyers(and other subscribers too if you like) and
then monetize it with Adsense or by selling advertising spots to individual
companies once you get enough members on board.
If you don’t want to do anything like this and still want to make good money in the
backend,you can go for affiliate promotions.Here by “Affiliate Programs” I mean
dating affiliate programs which you can join at individual dating sites as well as
46
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
find at CPA networks.These programs pay handsomely and that too on recurring
basis.So overall you can enjoy great passive income for one time efforts.
i)Dating:
Human beings ,like other animals are pre-programmed to search and find a suitable
mate,once they attain a particular age.
This is complex process and starts with getting a date.There are so many people
who are simply too shy to talk to the opposite sex,more than 30% of total world
population face this problem.
Online dating is a billion dollar business and a lot of information marketers have
made millions of dollars in this market and this business is only bound to grow as
more and more people are joining world wide web.
ii)Courtship:
Once you succeed in getting that ever elusive DATE,the next step in your
relationship is known as courtship.
Hundreds of thousands of people who fail during this phase,starts deading the
whole process and if you can present an easy,workable solution to their
problem,they’ll not be hesitating in handing over big bucks to you.
iii)Marriage:
Once a couple successfully goes through the courtship period,there comes the time
for final commitment i.e. marriage.It’s not simple as saying “I do”.As soon as the
relationship reaches in “marriage” state,everything becomes more complicated and
long term.Communications changes,sense of commitment changes,responsibilities
become more serious and the overall stress level increases.The frivolous nature of
previous relationship is replaced by accountability and many couples get
disillusioned within days of getting hitched.
In fact,in many cases the people involved get so much tired of these increasing
commitments that they start wondering why they committed at the first instance.
47
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
Just take a look at the screenshot and see how much desperate this guy is:
The haunting memories forces people to try every kind of tricks to lure their ex
back.These people will readily spend an arm and a leg if you can show them how
to get their love back in their lives.
In recent years,this niche has grown into a multi-million dollar business(just take a
look at the Clickbank marketplace) and dozens of marketers have made a killing
while restoring peace back in the lives of disgruntled people.
48

v)Divorce:
According to enrichment journal on the divorce rate in America:
Elsewhere in the world too,divorce rates are increasing sharply and this thing is
only expected to pick up speed as globalization and hectic work life are distancing
more couples from each other .
Divorce settlements require a lot of money and majority of the first timers don’t
know anything the complex divorce settlement processes.
These people will not think twice before shelling out a few bucks on a guide that
show them how to get what they want out of their settlements.
49
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
Be it social relations or corporate affairs,no one can deny the importance of proper
grooming.Even Fortune 500 companies have their own instructors to teach their
employees the fine arts of communications as well as social and corporate
presentations.
This niche is also never going to loose it's earning potential. Gone are the days
when people used to attend real personal development classes to enhance their
personality,e-books,webinars and video tutorials are the future of personal
grooming industry. You just have to position yourself rightly to tap on this never
ending wealth.
Self improvement is a multi billion dollar niche and it has several sub niches like
self hypnosis,corporate grooming,social grooming,positive thinking,leadership
training,talent optimization and several more.
This niche carries great repeat business potential as personal improvement is a long
time process.Membership sites are very popular in this niche and you can develop
a very steady stream of income by creating your product in such a way that it can
be delivered in multiple installments.
The self help niche has become quite organized .A lot of joint venturing and large
scale product launches have taken place in the past couple of years and the best
thing about this niche is that it has a universal appeal….
Every forward looking person likes to keep pace with the trends,develop himself
according to changing social and economic scenario and bring out his hidden
talents.So you can very well use your lists in other niches to promote your(or
affiliate) self help products.

Gambling
Casino and poker related e-books and courses have always been popular among the
gamblers.Several product owners in this niche have made quite a fortune.
As always goes with gambling,most of the players lose money-Some big time,
some small.After losing money, they become desperate and try every possible trick
under the Sun to cheat the system.These people are so desperate that they won’t
think twice before buying a guide that promises to enable them to trick the system
and win.
I have seen a blackhat poker product which promised it’s buyers to literally see
their opponents’ cards.It had a very high gravity (in spite of Google not allowing
it’s Adwords program being used for gambling related ads) and converted at high
rates…….This is one of the most stable niches.Go friend,gather some knowledge
on poker,create a guide and make some easy money.
Dog Training
According to a recent study,more than 60% households in the US have atleast one
pet and the pet industry is over $50 billion a year business. The dog being the most
common pet, “dog training” has evolved as a billion dollar niche.Like “Make
Money” , “Health& Fitness” and “Dating” ,this niche too has big competition.But
as a product owner ,you can turn this competition to your biggest advantage. Joint
ventures are increasingly becoming a common practice in this niche and so are six
and seven figure product launches.
This niche carries a lot of repeat business potential and you can consistently make
huge sums of money by creating membership sites and promoting affiliate products
in the backend.
51
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
So these were some examples of profitable niches.You can find dozens of such
niches by doing niche research in the above mentioned ways.Always check with
Google’s keyword tool to see if there are enough searches around that niche so that
you can make significant amount of money.
Acne
This is another big niche filled with desperate people .This is the one problem
which directly effects the self-confidence of the person concerned..
A lot of information products have been created in this niche and many of them
have done very well.This niche is an evergreen niche like the above mentioned 3
mega niches.
Golf
We talked enough about problems ,now lets come to some niches that are based on
some hobby.
When it comes to hobby based niches,no one can ignore the golf niche.As you
know,this sport is dominated by affluent people and they don’t hesitate splurging
big bucks on information which can make them special among
their peer group.
This niche carries a lot of repeat business potential.You can simply make a killing
by recommending related affiliate products like clubs,balls,accessories and golf
wear.
52
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
Home&Garden
Very big niche,gardening as a hobby is practiced by people all over the world and
the amateurs are always looking for advanced information to hone their craft.
A quick look at the Clickbank marketplace shows that a lot of products in this
niche are doing well.
Starting out in this niche is very easy.Just find a gardener in your locality
,interview him and record the conversation,you can transcribe the audio and
present the product both in PDF and mp3 versions.Gardening as a hobby is
practiced mostly by the affluent people who are well off and these people won’t
hesitate in shelling out a few bucks .
Betting
As a rule ,most of the people in this game eventually come out as losers.After
losing big amounts of money,they become desperate and start looking for tricks to
somehow recoup their lost money.
53
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
This niche carries a lot of scope for backend promotions .There are tons of online
betting sites and these sites reward their affiliates with nice commissions.You can
simply incorporate the affiliate links in your guide itself and promote the affiliates
programs individually in the follow up sequence.
This niche don’t you to create big products.Just 15-20 pages reports will be quiet
sufficient and then you can scale up your income by duplicating your efforts for all
the companies that have significant no. of people complaining about.
There are tons of consumer forums where these people hang out.All you have to do
is search for companies that are getting a lot of complaints ,create a small report
about their atrocities(remember,the more you incite your prospects’ feelings,the
more easy you’ll have it to get them do what you want) and enter some affiliate
links at appropriate places(CPA offers gels very well.
Yes,all you have to do is incite the feelings of these “already pssed” prospects and
then recommend a matching affiliate product/service as an honest alternative.
Apart from the personal injuries done to them or their immediate kith and kin,
people are most disturbed when someone (or some company) charges them
unethically or doesn’t fulfill his promise.
54
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
This is mostly done by the financial institutions- banks,credit card companies and
insurance companies.If you visit any online consumer complaint forum,you’ll see
thousands of complaints against the name of every major bank or credit card
company.
Learning Guitar
Again a hobby niche ,populated with millions of enthusiastic amateurs.Like
“Dog Training” niche ,this one too is mentioned in almost all the products on the
subject of information marketing.
The “Learn Guitar” niche is big enough to support hundreds of players and many
people have made amazing amount of money in this niche.
55
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
The main term “Play Guitar” and several related keyphrases are receiving
hundreds of thousands of monthly searches.
Then there are millions of enthusiasts who learn foreign languages as hobby,or to
impress their near and dear ones.
A quick search shows that the terms “Learn Spanish” and “Learning Spanish” are
getting hundreds of thousands of monthly searches.
You don’t need to learn foreign languages to be able to create product in this
niche.Just go to elance.com ,find some expert and get the product created.Once
you taste some success with a particular language,repeat the same with other in-
demand languages.
56
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
Recipe
Another HIGH POTENTIAL ,vastly unexploited niche.This niche has not s much
attention in the mainstream internet marketing as some others.
Just look at the screenshot above,the term “recipe” has been searched 45.5
million times in the past month with US accounting for 30.4 searches.
A little variation “Recipes” has got 37.2 million searches.More specific terms
like “Chicken Recipes” , “Healthy Recipes” and “Recipes for Chicken” too
have got hundreds of thousands of searches.
A quick search for the term “Recipes” in Google shows that there is enough no. of
sponsored ads too…
57
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
Take into account the no. of related searches and you can clearly see the niche
has got great moneymaking potential…..
All you have to do is compile this information and present it in a PDF.You can also
get someone to actual prepare the recipe and capture it on camera to provide video
tutorial.Then you can offer this marterial in a membership format.
to stick to small reports.You’ll be using these reports as lead magnet and to qualify
your prospects.
CPA commissions
This is where your main income will come from.You’ll be using your short reports
to build a list.Then you can make money from these prospects by promoting CPA
offers.These credit repair offers pay handsome commissions and allow you to
make big money in the backend.
Most of the credit check and credit repair CPA offers pay upwards of $20/lead in
commissions.To get more leads,you can even relinquish your upfront profits and
offer your reports for free.
There is no denying that this is a specialized field and not everyone is suited to
provide such advice.So what you have do is go to some big freelancing site and
find a writer who specialize in this subject.
Believe me,this is one of the most desperate niches.Just ask anyone who has ever
been in debt.After building a list,you can promote several related items like credit
cards and loans to same prospects.
With so many schemes and retirement plans floating around,it virtually becomes
impossible for an inexperienced person to find out the best one suiting his needs
and with uncertain financial environment,people are more conscious about their
savings This creates a lot of opportunity for the information product developers.
59
Emergency Cash Method By: Vivek Narayan
Starting with a 20 page “job” guide,you can very easily go on establishing your
own fully fledged job portal,resume writing service,career consultancy ,job
brokering service and overseas placement services.
As the global markets open up and more and more people are looking to work
overseas,the demand for these specialized services is only to pick up speed and this
is the best time to get your foot into this vastly unexploited market.
I think , now you have got enough niches to start with.You can discover other
lucrative niches for sure.The bigger ones will always be having enough room
for starting marketers and if you are quick to take action,you will be able to
make a lot from the short term ones too.
