I wrote a blog post a few years back detailing the process I use to find popular niches online based on my interests. I've been doing my research lately and wanted to share with you 10 of the hottest niches I've found.

Each niche will cover a Google Trend Graph, Jaaxy suggested keywords, popular products currently being sold in that niche, and a little blurb by me on why it was selected for this list.

(PS. if you don't already have a Jaaxy account, go there and sign up for one now. It's one of the most powerful research tools online. Hell, I bought several domains while writing this post thanks to Jaaxy's suggestions.)

Feel free to run with any of the ideas listed below.

However.

I do want you to read through them all, see what they have in common, and continue to do your own research. I'll include the criteria I used to decide whether or not the niche should make the list.

At the bottom of this blog post is a list to several resources. If nothing suits you here, use the resources below to find something that does interest you.

Niche Picking

Here are the four criteria I follow when picking a new niche...

1. The niche has to be a topic that I can update often
2. The niche has to be something that personally interests me
3. The niche can be expanded to an authority style website
4. There has to be a way to tie products into my posts.

Keep an eye on all four of these and how they can be applied to each of the niches below.

Let's jump right in.

1. Drones

Drones have been steadily creeping upwards the past few years and are slowly becoming more and more popular in mainstream communities. Drones range from small little RC helicopters for under $20 to the Phantom 4 Quadcopter which starts at $1,400. A website in this niche can cover a wide range of topics to drone reviews, building your own drone, drones for photography, and much more.

There tends to be a spike in popularity around Christmas time. I don't really see this one as a seasonal niche, but the boosts in searches could help bring in some next extra holiday income.

2. 3D Printers

The trend graph for 3D printers looks to have leveled off a bit, but interest is still near an all-time high. Prices are slowly coming down on these and the ability to 3D print at home is going to turn a few heads.

If I were to start a site here, I would focus entirely on home usage. This would likely be a little more niche than others on this list, but the cost for point of entry is still high enough to turn a decent profit. Plus the materials needed to print will always be in demand.

3. Matcha

I'll admit that I had no idea what Matcha was before I started this blog post, but it kept popping up during my research and that Google Trend graph certainly caught my eye. Matcha is a powdered version of green tea with a lot of health benefits.

As I read more about it, I went from never hearing about it to adding a few products to my Amazon cart to try. That alone should have your wheels turning. A site that introduces health-conscious consumers to matcha while explaining the benefits and offering opinions on flavors and brands could make quite a bit of money.

4. Nootropics

Nootropics, again, are a consumable product slowly trending upwards the past few years. They are typically described as supplements for the brain and are said to improve focus, cognition, and alertness.

This isn't an area that I myself am particularly interest in, but judging by that Trend graph, there are a lot of people who are. Like Matcha above, a site portraying the benefits and compares the different products would be my approach.

5. Adult Coloring Books

Man did these things take off or what? I remember seeing these books EVERYWHERE just after Christmas. A whole niche around coloring books would be tough to do, but your website could expand into a number of other art areas by using adult coloring books as an introduction point.

And before you get too worried, these are not X-rated coloring books but rather, coloring books aimed at adults.

6. 4K TVs

Televisions went through a bit of a Renaissance in the early 2000s. Every one was trading in their old clunky TV sets for sleek, thin, high-definition LCDs. The TV industry saw huge gains and continued to try to get consumers to upgrade again with gimmicky attempts in curved and 3D models. However, they may have struck gold yet again with new Ultra High-Def models.

I'm always drawn into the clear picture and superb quality of 4K displays in store. It won't be long until I own one myself. Unsurprisingly, there is always a huge spike in interest around Black Friday. A popular site in this niche could lend itself to a nice holiday bonus each year.

7. Tiny Homes

Okay, don't be fooled by the $28,000 houses for sale under the eBay listings with this one. I doubt very many people are ordering tiny houses online. With that said, there is a lot of interest here and the whole tiny house movement is growing.

My focus would be on selling products that fit inside of a tiny house. It would be easier to focus on people who already have a tiny house, or are thinking about downsizing. Tiny house plans continue to creep up a lot during my research.

8. Beard Oil

Here we have another trend spike in another consumable product. It's hard to go out and not see dudes sporting luxurious beards these days and beard oil apparently makes all of that possible.

It sounds like a ridiculous niche, but people are buying everything from beard oil to beard combs to beard decorations. A guy made over a million dollars selling rocks in a box. There have been more crazy niches.

9. Fitness Tracker

If you don't already have a Fitbit on your wrist, you at least know a dozen people who do. It certainly looks like a passing fad, but more products are released each day. Fitness trackers are currently surging. Fitness scales are increasing in popularity. It's only a matter of time before kitchen gadgets start arriving.

Healthy & Fitness as a niche has been around since the beginning of time and high-priced fancy gadgets will continue to help you build a solid income.

10. Mirrorless Cameras

Finally we have the niche that I myself may be pursuing in the near future. Mirrorless cameras are essentially high-quality DSLR cameras in compact bodies. I recently purchased my first and I already know it won't be my last. They're easy to use and take phenomenal pictures.

While interest has been slowly climbing, there is a lot of room in this niche to really build out a strong authority site. I would focus on one specific brand and follow their mirrorless camera release, news, updates, and lenses. I actually might go pick up a few of those Jaaxy domains right now...
