On the previous pages I outlined a few popular niche markets and some of the various focused sub niches you can target on your affiliate marketing website. Now I will list some of the many niche markets we are mostly involved with on a daily basis but may not even think of as actual niches.
Remember, a niche is an area of a market specializing in one type of product or service. Because there are hundreds of thousands or millions of people who could be into buying a product or service that you are promoting, you will have a larger percentage of gaining customers based on your promotions.
OTHER NICHE MARKETS WE ARE IN EVERY DAY
Here are some more niche markets we are all exposed to on either a daily or weekly basis. Remember what Kyle says in the Wealthy Affiliate training and what has been proven by many other WA members who are engaged in various niche markets. – ANY niche can be a very profitable niche, especially if you are or become an authority in that niche. What are some of these niches and sub niches?
- CLOTHING – dress suits for tall men, wedding dresses, lingerie for plus size women, pajamas for toddlers, school clothing for kids, athletic clothing, hemp clothing, leather jackets, silk ties, swimwear for men or women, bras, boxer briefs, tuxedos, construction work clothes,…

There are hundreds of other niche markets many of us take part on a daily basis and you can tap into those markets, as well as those above, and become an authority on that niche market. You can do this by either personally knowing the niche you choose or doing research on a niche that interests you.
The last thing you want to do is to choose a niche based on how much money you may think you can make with that niche. Every niche can be profitable, provided that you can effectively promote the product or service of that niche.
Then once you have decided on your niche, go to Google and search for affiliate programs that support your niche. Don’t focus solely on Amazon but rather add more affiliate programs to give your website visitors a variety of a selection.
To search for affiliate programs on Google is quite simple. Just type in your niche + affiliate programs. Example if your niche is Aromatherapy you would type Aromatherapy + Affiliate Programs and this will list all of the available affiliate programs in that niche.
It will now be up to you to do research in your chosen niche and find affiliate programs that offer great products or services with affiliate benefits. Another niche I showcase on my website is that of the fan-base for the Star Trek franchise.
Remember that sometimes the things that entertain us or others can also be immensely popular niche markets. I have presented these in a few separate blogs about collectibles on my website and they are, Star Trek, Coca-Cola, and by the time you read this Star Wars, Baseball and NASCAR will be added too.
There are literally thousands of niche markets to choose from and sometimes you do not have that far to go to find one. All you have to do is look at the examples I have given in this tutorial, some which you probably engage in every day, and just choose a focused down sub niche to start with.
Choosing a niche shouldn’t be so hard once you realize that you take part in many different niche markets all the time. Just think of the popular niche markets that you buy from, in which many others buy from too, and you have found a niche. Smartphones and their accessories are another popular niche. Do you partake in that niche too?
There are niches everywhere, even right in front you at this very moment. Some of these niches are subtle and many others are quite popular and profitable. The below link will explain the two very profitable niche markets and give you dozens of niche examples to choose from.

I'm new to this and am still trying to create my website. I bought a domain, gadgetsforanything.com and thought I would try to focus on a particular type each week e.g. emergency tools for the car, pet drinking fountains, charging stations etc. I have four different tools for getting out of the car in an emergency so could review each of them. I'm assuming I would then put a link (as an affiliate) to say, Amazon, REI, and so on.
Do you think this sounds OK? I'm having a hard time choosing a theme for the site, too many to choose from for me! :)
I'd value any thoughts you may have on the stuff I've talked about.
Thanks again, you are a goldmine of information.
I think your niche idea for helpful gadgets is a good niche and you will want to separate that niche into sub niches. Have a page for Car Gadgets, another for Pet Gadgets, and so on.
Make these pages as Parent Pages and create a drop down menu from them to include other relevant pages within that group. This way it will be easier for people should they want to only view gadgets in that particular category.
As for a theme, choose what you like. But remember, the more simplistic the better it will look on a smaller screen of a smartphone or tablet, which is the way a majority of people surf the internet now.
Yes I am a Star Trek fan and if I had time I would create an affiliate website in the Star Trek niche. The Star Trek Store has a great affiliate program and can be quite profitable for anyone wanting to get into this niche.
I even created a blog post about this niche and provided information on what payment details The Star Trek Store offers to those who become their affiliates. You can read my blog below. Check out the video it contains. Every Star Trek fan will love it.

Great article, thanks for that
On a website like the one mentioned above by Ann, what would be your approach regarding sub-niches growth? Would you work on all sub-niches at the same time or work on each individual one till you run out of things to write and then move to the next one?
whoa, ive been banging my head trying to understand the meaning of a niche, and its 00:45 in the morning and i just read your article. and its finally hit me. you have explained it in such a simple way, even a thicko like me can understand it lol. not only have i understood it. i even did an example ie. i drew a simple house shape and with arrows going out 1 was named bedroom another named lounge etc etc last was garage. the i took each example ie the kitchen then i named all the sub niches in the kitchen, ie fridge,cooker etc etc. i settled for something in that house as my niche. my acheing head is now cured thanks to you.
ps I'm so following you now.
thanks again
David
You just need to take the broad niche and break it down into the smaller sub niches that are associated with it. And if possible break the sub niche down again.
Not all sub niches can be broken down. But here is a broad niche that can be broken down many times. The Automobile niche.
Sub Niches...
Muscle Cars -> Chevrolet -> Corvette -> Classic Corvette -> After-Market Chrome Products
The After-Market Chrome Products for classic Corvettes would be my final focused down niche dealing with products like bumpers, bumper guards, wheels, mirrors, shift knobs,...
For example - dog beds for small dogs as a niche will have a category and a page. The same can be done with another niche such as wheat free canned senior dog food.
Thanks very much.
For example ... I've become fairly decent using my desktop computer, but I don't consider myself a "Computer Geek". So how would I compete with the Geek competition in say the "Computer" micro niche you listed ... USB flash drives?
Though you may never out-perform the computer geek, does not really matter. You do not need to out-perform but rather provide enough information to share in the revenue stream for that particular niche market.
