Niche brainstorming is the very first process of affiliate marketing and it can be done the fast and furious way.  When you brainstorm for niches you should look inside yourself and see what you already know.  Picking subjects you already know makes content writing a breeze and should keep the topic interesting.  Ask yourself these next questions and you should have a list of at least 50 niches you can do.

What are your hobbies?

Hobbies are a great way to get into a small and specific niche.  For any hobby, there are people who want to learn more.  Most hobbies have products associated with them.  For example, comic books, model airplanes, and chess all have products you need to buy.  You can find multiple online stores for any hobby, so you should be able to find an affiliate program.  If not, you can always create an eBook and sell it online.

What electronics do you currently own?

Electronics are a great niche, and if you can get very specific, the competition will decrease.  If you own any electronics, such as cell phones, gaming consoles, televisions, computers, and mp3 players, write down the brands and models.  People who own electronics love to talk about their products and learn more about their products.  The iPhone alone has created hundreds of profitable blogs.  There is no expense in your research, because you already own the product.  Not only will you make money with your product, but you will know how to use your product better than anyone and get the most out of your product.  There are thousands of online stores that sell electronic products and accessories, so finding an affiliate program should be very easy.

Are you currently healthy?

Health and diet are important topics for everyone.  People are always trying to get healthy and they are always looking for diets.  People want to get healthy and lose weight.  If you are not in shape or are overweight, you can make a lot of money trying different diet products and workouts.  The latest fad in working out is P90X and the latest fads in diet are colon cleansers and Acai berry.  You can start a blog in less than a day and start writing about your experiences.  There are some expenses in this niche, because you have to purchase the products to review it, but the best part of this niche is that you can make money while you get in shape.

What is your current mode of transportation?

Whether you ride public transportation or drive a vehicle, people are interested in learning more.  If you take the public transportation in your city, you can start a blog on tips and tricks to get the most out of your travel.  There are many people who are looking towards public transportation because of the high gas prices and the bad economy, but many people are scared to take public transportation because of their lack of knowledge and their misconceptions about public travel.  Write a quick guide for newbies or about the environmental and economical advantages, and you should get a lot of traffic.

If you own a car, there are many others who own the same car and love it.  If you Google any car model you will find a forum or community.  People become attached to their cars and are constantly talking about their car or researching new accessories for their car.  Since car communities are very active, you should expect to see a lot of repeat traffic.

What stores and restaurants do you frequent?

Stores and restaurants that you frequently go to are a great way to pick a niche that you will constantly have content for.  If you shop at a certain set of clothing stores, you could start a fashion blog and review your purchases and the store’s new products.  Fashion blogs are very popular and building a following should be easy with good content.  If you frequent a certain type of restaurant, you could start a blog relating to those restaurants in your area.   Most people will look online for reviews on restaurants before they go.  If you like any specific food, like tacos, pizza or cakes, you could easily start a blog on your search for the perfect one.

What are you watching?

Everyone has a different taste when it comes to movies or television.  If you like a certain director, like Quentin Tarantino, George Lucas or Kevin Smith, you could start a blog and community just on their movies.  If you like a certain type of movie, like horror or comedy, you can start a blog just on that genre of movie.  Cult movies are a great way to build a community.  They are called cult movies, because they have a cult following.  There are a small group of people who not only enjoyed the movie, but are fanatical.  For example, Rocky Horror Picture Show has a huge cult following even though the movies is decades old.  They even have midnight showings where people will dress up like the characters.  These are die hard fans and creating a forum would get a lot of activity.

Hit television shows have tons of fans and those fans can easily be turned into a community.  Shows like Lost and Heroes have a huge following that are always discussing what just happened and what will happening next.  Create a quick blog and install free forum software and you should get tons of traffic.

What are you reading?

You read blogs, forums, and news articles every day.  Turn that reading into profit by creating a blog about it.  With every article or post you read, you are increasing your knowledge on that subject.  You are obviously interested in the subject, so you shouldn’t get bored doing more research and writing articles every day.  Now, instead of killing time reading, you are actually doing research and enjoying it.

What are you listening to?

Do you have a favorite band or type of music?  Each of your favorite bands could be a separate blog.  Blog about their new cds, music videos, and concert tours.  Blogging about music is easy and fun and if you sign up for the bands newsletters you’ll get a lot of content for your blog.

Now that you have brainstormed the fast and furious way, you should now have a huge list of niches you can do.  But before you finalize your niche selection, make sure to use the other articles found here to finalize your list.  Check if your niche is profitable and then use Google keyword tools to find a domain name.
