With an overwhelming abundance of niche finding resources, it’s no real surprise why you’re struggling to find a niche in order to start an affiliate marketing business, right?
But today’s your lucky day, young grasshopper!
Because thanks to “Artificial Intelligence”, sees the birth of a uniquely special AI micro niche finder tool – giving you 100 free niche searches!
Which does all the heavy lifting at warp speed – saving you heaps of time, effort, and especially the headaches when it comes to unearthing that golden profit niche. 😉
So, with that said, let’s explore the definition of a niche and then see how easy-peasy it is to find your perfect niche and launch a profitable Biz, using my recommended AI tool…
What The Heck IS a Niche, You Ask?
Put simply, a niche is a much smaller segment of an industry.
But just because you’ll cut yourself a sliver of cake doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll miss out on the tasty buckaroonies as an affiliate marketer…
All it means is that it’s easier to start a successful affiliate business in a less-competitive environment.
Let’s say, for example, you want to solve people’s problems in the ‘RELATIONSHIP’ industry.
That’s too broad and competitive, chances of success are Slim Jim.
So, narrow down the industry to a specific category within like:
- Advice
- Breakups
- Counselling
- Dating
- Etc…
Getting warmer, but still broad.
Let’s go again to determine “WHO” your target audience is:
- Advice for couples
- Breakup excuses females use
- Counselling for singles
- Dating tips for men
Bingooo! You’ve uncovered a niche.
But you could dig even deeper to uncover what’s called a “micro niche”:
- Advice for couples who argue
- Breakup excuses females use on social media
- Counselling for singles who want to get married
- Dating tips for men who are shy
However, it’s worth noting that DATA also comes into the equation when it comes to picking the RIGHT niche.
Because not all niches are born equal – some are more profitable than others, and some will make you little to no money for various reasons.
But we’ll get to that part towards the end of this article.
How To Find a Target Niche, Super Easy & Lightning Fast!
The old and time-consuming niche finding ways include the use of the Google search auto complete feature, keyword tools, and forum-type platforms like Quora and Reddit (ugh!), etc.

4 Tips on Finding a Niche That Earns You Commi$$ion$!
Using the niche finder tool to uncover a targeted niche is only half the battle because your chosen niche must be PROFITABLE if you are to build a THRIVING affiliate Biz.
So, with that in mind, apply one or all of my following tips to ensure your selected niche can be an awesome money-maker:
Tip #1: Analyse Your Competition on Google &/or YouTube.
One of the best ways to quickly determine niche profitability is by weighing up your competitors on Google and YouTube.
For example, type ‘BEST BASKETBALL SHOES FOR KIDS’ into Google, and if niche websites (aka blogs) pop up in the search results…
Then you can bet your sweet bippy that affiliates are cashing in with kiddies basketball footwear.
Which ties in with the next tip…
Tip #2: Search For Affiliate Programs to Promote.
To find affiliate programs with top-notch problem-solving (+ good commission-based) products to promote…
Do a simple Google/YouTube search (i.e. ‘BEST BASKETBALL AFFILIATE PROGRAMS‘), and if there are niche sites/videos recommending fab opportunities – then you’re good to go.
Alternatively, use an Affiliate Program Finder tool to easily locate relevant offers inside affiliate networks like ClickBank, ShareASale, CJ and Awin, to name a few.
Oh, did I mention that Wealthy Affiliate boasts a feature-rich Affiliate Program Search tool under the ‘Promote’ tab that you can utilize to easily and quickly locate high-quality affiliate opportunities? 😉
(Note: You must be a Premium or Premium Plus+ member to access this cool search feature).
Tip #3: Explore Google Trends.
In my opinion, Google Trends is a powerful asset for uncovering topics that have trended or nose dived over the years, or are trending at this moment in time.
Even better, you can narrow down topic searches by your country (among other metrics) and also dive into topic search volumes.
These insights can certainly help you to identify niches that are worth building a brand and website content around.
Tip #4: Use a Reliable SEO/Keyword Tool.
Once you establish that your chosen niche comprises a “buyer” audience and also affiliate marketing programs to join…
You must look at the actual DATA (in terms of competition and traffic metrics) to determine if the niche really is worth perusing.
With that said, Wealthy Affiliate has a powerful keyword tool (Jaaxy) too, which can give you plenty of great insights into your target niche – you’ll locate Jaaxy under the ‘Research’ tab. 😉
(Note: While you do get free use, you must upgrade to Premium or Premium Plus+ to unlock the full benefits of this tool).
And there you have it: all the tools, step-by-step training and support you’ll ever need under ONE roof for quickly and easily choosing an affiliate niche, and turning it into an online goldmine.
