During weekend, whenever I have a chance, I like to go to the bookstore in the mall nearby my house. There are a few stores that I frequent but I like to go to Borders more. It carries a lot more titles and the store is big too. I like to go there to buy books and magazines and also to get ideas for the next niche to go after.
There are two sections that you should not miss whenever you go to the bookstore. The first one is the magazine area and the second is the ‘popular book’ sections.
Magazines provide lots of useful niches idea
If you go to the magazine sections you’ll find many publications on different topics covering from golf, gardening, home decorations, beauty, hobbies such as craft, origami and knitting and even cooking.
Go through these magazines and you can find very useful subsections that can be used for your potential niches or microniches. Some of these topics are evergreen that they keep appearing in each month edition and these are the one that you want to pay attentions to. Magazine don’t just simply use their space for fillers, they put stuffs that they know people will have interest in. So, why not make use of it for your next microniches and article ideas?
Popular book sections are great for hot market too
You can easily find hot topics by looking at what’s on the chart for the popular book sections.
I observe that there are many ‘how-to’ and books devoted to solving people problems available at this area. Identify which self help and how to books are the hottest sellers and you can easily get your niche from there.
These niches ideas that you get from the bookstore can be broken down further by doing your keywords and market research. If you don’t have your own products in these niches, you can always look for affiliate and CPA products to promote, be it from Clickbank, Amazon and other CPA offers.
Bookstore is a great place to help you find out what books and topics people are interested in paying money for. It is very useful to provide insight into what the hot market subjects are. Using this piece of information, you can build a niche website that will have a better chance of becoming successful. So, don’t forget to arm yourself with a notepad and pen before you go to your favorite bookstore.
