When you join Wealthy Affiliate (WA), your mind is probably filled with a combination of excitement and fear of the unknown. Something like; I can't wait to start earning money in affiliate marketing and quitting my regular job, but what niche should I pick and what is a niche exactly?

A NICHE IS ANYTHING A GROUP OF PEOPLE SHARE AN INTEREST IN

Anything? That seems a bit overwhelming. There are so many things people are interested in. Is that even possible? The short answer is YES! Before I continue I want to make clear, I have an abundance of niche ideas that many people tend to overlook and I share them here.

Yes WA has a niche finder and yes that is a great tool, but there's nothing wrong with coming up with a niche without using that awesome tool. When I joined and Kyle explained what a niche was, I immediately had a firm grasp on the definition and my brain went into overdrive.

Seeing how I used to develop video games for Nintendo, I have always had an outside of the box kind of imagination. Even with AI, I could never create that many niche websites, so I share these creative niche ideas with all of you to spark your imaginations...hopefully.

Now in regards to the title of this post, did you know that these people are actually niches? Wait a minute! A person can be an actual niche? Yes, if the person or group of people are famous enough to have a fan base. A niche doesn't have to be a physical product. It could be a person. Let me explain.

HERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE NICHES

• Ichiro Suzuki
• Elvis Presley
• Mahatma Gandhi
• Jesus Christ
• Michael Jordan
• Tom Hanks
• Aaron Judge
• Taylor Swift (Engaged to Travis Kelce)

ALL of these people have products associated with them that people who are fans, would want to know about and even collect and/or buy. Each one has something about them that would make it easier to target as a narrow more focused niche. I'll use Ichiro Suzuki as an example.

Ichiro Suzuki is a popular Japanese baseball player. Though there are many Japanese born baseball players in the MLB, Ichiro was the first ever position player who joined the Major League in 2001. Now in 2025 he became the first Japanese baseball player to enter the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

That is an amazing milestone in any baseball player's career, but even more so for Ichiro because he was born and raised in Japan. There are so many amazing statistics surrounding him that baseball fans would want to know. Now you might be wondering, what Ichiro Suzuki products could you promote?

ICHIRO SUZUKI PRODUCTS TO PROMOTE

All of the above listed famous people have multiple items associated with them and their careers that one can promote. Remember, your narrow niche is a person and not a specific product(s), which means you can promote multiple items. Let me explain continuing with Ichiro Suzuki as an example.

• Ichiro Books
• Jerseys from the Mariners, the Marlins & the Yankees
• Autographs (Baseballs, Bats, Jerseys, Helmets,...)
• Framed Photos
• Fielding Techniques
• Batting Style Guides
• Hall of Fame Memorabilia

All of these products are available on Amazon. They are also available on the Fanatics, the MLB Store and the Steiner Sports websites. All three have affiliate programs and in most cases have a higher commission payout and longer cookie duration than Amazon. A lot of options available.

A NARROW NICHE WITH MULTIPLE ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS

When you choose a specific person as your niche, it's fairly narrow from the start, yet it gives you the opportunity to promote a lot of different products. Here's another example. The actor Tom Hanks. Think of all the different movies he has started in; Apollo 13, Saving Private Ryan, You've Got Mail,...

You can come up with multiple products from just those three movies that are solely related to the actor Tom Hanks. Again, your niche is already narrow as it's about Tom Hanks. However, Tom has so many products related solely to him that it gives you many options of products to promote from.

Look at Jesus Christ as your niche. Naturally one would think of promoting Christian products like Bibles, clothing, artwork, calendars, books, jewelry, music,... But seeing how Jesus was Jewish you can also combine products associated with Judaism. There are several Judeo-Christian affiliate programs.

If you have a great amount of knowledge about a famous person, you can make that person a niche and promote a wide variety of associated products or even go more narrow and focus on only one. The choices are almost endless when your niche is focused on a specific individual instead of a product.

Don't overlook the possibility of selecting a niche that is associated with a famous person or even a specific sports team. Practically anyone popular will have multiple sub niches you can choose from, should you want to make your person niche even more narrow. What do you think? Leave your comments below.
