“How to find a good niche” is one of the most popular questions when it comes to Internet Marketing. Beginner marketers are already overwhelmed with all of the new information; domains, hosting, wordpress, keyword, content, etc and now we also need to select a niche? Well, where do I even start? This article will help you get some good ideas.

If you already have a website this post will help you generate article ideas and title ideas.

Sometimes we overlook the most obvious places when it comes to niche research and one of them is; magazines. Either print or online, they can both work.

How to Find a Niche or an article Idea.

Simply open up a directory of magazines such as: http://nyjobsource.com/magazines.html

This is the list of 100 largest magazines based on circulation. These magazines are popular because they have good content and because people are interested in these subjects. If there is an interest, there is money to be made.

  1. Now we need to choose a magazine that could interest us because it’s always better to “work” in a niche we like. Each magazine is a potential niche! For instance, let’s select the #4; Better Homes and Gardens.
  2. As soon as we are on the magazine website we already see the articles; Fun-to-Make Christmas Holiday Crafts, Holiday Decorating Ideas for Small Spaces, Easy Tips for Decoration a Christmas Tree.
These are just a few article title (blog post) ideas – and there are hundreds if not thousands of them in every single magazine. These titles work well because most of these magazines do a great deal of research before publishing a piece, so take advantage of that. I am not saying you should copy the titles letter by letter but try to use a variation of them, preferable make it better.

Normally I would make a list of 20 article title ideas so I do not need to concentrate on that for the next month or so, I have enough article ideas to keep on writing for a while.

Do not limit yourself to the list of magazines in the link I provided, Google other magazine directories and you will never run out of niche ideas and article writing ideas.

Now go take action!

Yes very informative. Neverconsidered this until last week when someone mentioned it a seminar I attended, you've added another slant to it.

Thanks Alex... had learned that from Copyblogger for creating great headlines and Article titles... you added another dimension to it... Thanks

I just started following copyblogger a few weeks ago :) So I guess I missed his post on magazines.

Yes, there is also a PDF... here is the Link to "How to write magnetic headlines..."

Yep, good advice. These magazines are also, how do you say industry leaders or market makers. So what people read (niches, products, keywords) in the most current issues of these popular magazines, they then go search on the internet many times.

Well put, Jeff ;) That;s exactly why I like magazines for generating ideas.
