Today we talk about what exactly a niche is and how to find one.
When looking for a niche consider:
1) what do you know, what do you have experience in
2) what do you like, what are you passionate about
3) what problems can you solve, what frustrations can you offer a solution for
Needs
Wants
Desires
Fears
Local product or service missing and needed.
They should be a group of people willing to PURCHASE items.
"People will do anything for those who encourage their dreams, justify their failures, allay their fears, confirm their suspicions, and help them throw rocks at their enemies." -Blair Warren
Keyword Search to see if it's worth making content about:
Higher search volume = higher competition
Too low search volume = no audience
At least 1000
3000 is golden 10k is too high
12+ long tail variation s of main key word
Tools to search a niche:
Redditlist.com
Google Keywords
Amazon best sellers books
Facebook groups
Quora questions being asked in broad search term
Clickbank
Avoid:
Niches in the top 500 sites on Alexa

Avoid health and financial niches because Google punishes your rank unless you have professional qualifications. Unless you are professional yourself or can find someone who is, don't make this your niche. (forgot to mention this in the show)
What to sell:
Accessories, add-ons, extras (tv cables, guitar strings, hard drives)
Consumables
Easy price point. The impulse buy under $20.
