Generating New Niche Ideas – Method #4 The Media

Recently, the media have had an ever increasing affect on our lives and it can
be used as an excellent tool for generating new niche ideas.
To find what’s in demand using the media involves analysing TV adverts and
programmes, magazine adverts and content and newspapers.
By analysing current affairs, you can quickly spot potentially lucrative niche
markets. Over the last few years, global warming and its effects have been
widely broadcast and more and more people are trying to do their bit to help
reduce the effects. You could quite easily research how to reduce global
warming and save money in the process, compile it into an eBook and sell it
for a lot of money.
Using magazine content is also a good way of choosing niche ideas. You
always see women’s magazines (not that I read women’s magazines ) with
fashion advice and weight loss tips. You could use these articles as research
and because they are being included in these magazines, the information is
obviously in demand. Don’t restrict yourself to women’s magazines however,
look at:
Car magazines – You could write an eBook about choosing the perfect car to
suit the customers purposes.
Garden magazines – Create an eBook about growing a certain type of plant,
or an eBook about creating a beautiful garden.
Travel magazines – Create an info product about travelling for cheap, luxury
destinations or things to do on vacation.
There are thousands of magazines out there and each one could provide you
with 3 or 4 new niche ideas.

Monitoring the TV listings and analysing what’s on TV is also an excellent way
of selecting a lucrative niche market. An excellent example of this type of
niche selection is if you had spotted that hit TV series “LOST” would have
been so successful with so many fanatical fans that are very passionate about
the programme. You could quite easily have created a “Lost theories” eBook
which you give away for free and profit from on the back-end.

The best part about choosing a niche like this is that if you were one of the
first to set up a website about LOST and marketed it effectively in the initial
stages, then you could have dominated that niche market from the very
beginning.
