About http://azlist.about.com/num.htm http://azlist.about.com You’ll discover hundreds of regularly updated guides written by experts with a real passion for their subject. Alexa http://www.alexa.com/browse Browse thousands of sub-categories and discover markets you might never have even considered. Micro-niching has never been easier. Amazon New Releases http://amazon.com/gp/new-releases Want to know about up coming products. This site lists the big new product launches before they happen. It will save you hours of research finding out what the latest consumer trends are going to be. AOL Hot Searches http://hotsearches.aol.com As they say themselves: “Check out what’s hot on AOL Search. Find the hottest searches on celebrity news, breaking news and more.” Associates Directory http://www.associateprograms.com/directory I’m a big fan of conducting my market research by finding products first, instead of conducting keyword research. If there are products for sale in a specific niche, that’s a good indicator that money is being spent and therefore the niche might be worth exploring. Bella Online http://www.bellaonline.com/misc/sitemap.asp A women’s site that will give you a good insight into the female niche mindset. Let’s face it, guys and gals are different and have different desires, wants and needs. Best Online Research Apps/Sites You’ve Never Heard Of http://oedb.org/library/features/bes...research-sites Excellent list of resources for the serious researcher. CB Engine http://www.cbengine.com A veritable treasure trove of information for scouting out hidden gems in the Clickbank Marketplace. If you want to sell CB products, this is an essential resource. Grab a PRO membership, it’s worth the measly price tab! CNet Buzz http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-12578_7-6527356-1.html Reviews and comments on the latest tech products.

Depth Reporting http://depthreporting.googlepages.com/websites.htm Classed as “the most useful web sites for reporters”. Nuff said dudes and dudettes. DMOZ http://dmoz.org People seem to forget about the humble human-edited open directory project. But in it be fields of diamonds my lovelies that might just push you into actually getting off your butt and doing something with your online business. Dummies Guides http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/Dumm...All/index.html The famous Dummies guides as listed by tiltes. Ebay Categories http://listings.ebay.com http://hub.ebay.com/buy http://pulse.ebay.com http://www.mpire.com/ebayPop.ivk You will die and think you’ve gone to heaven after taking a peak at just what is being sold over at Ebay. Don’t anyone ever tell me that they can’t find a niche to get stuck in. Ehow http://www.ehow.com As the site says “how to do just about everything”. Ezine Articles http://www.ezinearticles.com/ Articles on thousands of niches. Hint: Take a look at the bottom of each article to discover a plethora of product ideas. Furl http://www.furl.net/furledPopular.jsp When it comes to niche market research I like riding the coat-tails of others. After all why reinvent the wheel when thousands of other kind folk have gone before you. Gizmodo http://www.gizmodo.com This is a blog dedicated to gadgets, gadgets and more gadgets. You’ll be first in line to know about those “must-have, I’m gonna kill you to get it” sale scrums. Google Products http://www.google.com/products Yup believe it or not some folk are actually making money selling stuff online. And not just downloadable information products! Hard goods sell real well. Heck I should know, I just sold $13,000 worth of one electronic product in less than 72 hours. Remember Rob’s maxim: Find a product, then the market.

Is there a way you could create a paid for product using what’s here? Internet Movie Database http://www.imdb.com If you’re mad about films (movies) and want to sell to this addicted niche, this is one place you must visit. Intute http://www.intute.ac.uk Provides some of the best resources for education and research. All the sites are listed and reviewed by qualified researchers. Serious stuff here. Magazines http://www.magazines.com It costs tens of thousands of pounds/dollars/euros to start a magazine, so you can pretty much deduce that if there’s one in print and it’s popular that there’s a market or sub-niche somewhere hidden in it. You can’t go too far wrong scouting out what’s available on this site. Metacafe http://www.metacafe.com/most_popular Videos hot, and it’s only going to get hotter as broadband proliferates around the world and speeds just keep on increasing. Which is why it’s important you stay abreast of what’s getting attention in the videosphere. Movie Box Office Charts http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/boxoffice Films are big money earners, and with each release comes a plethora of associated products that people suck up. Will you be ready? Nextmark http://lists.nextmark.com You can search more than 60,000 mailing lists, email lists, and telephone lists from hundreds of vendors — virtually every list available! Popurls http://www.furl.net/furledPopular.jsp “Popular URLs to the latest buzz”. Pricerunner http://www.pricerunner.com I won’t say it again… Find the product then the market! Millions of products can be found on this quaint little old site. Technorati http://www.technorati.com Yet another must visit social bookmarking site. Now let’s be clear here, just because someone bookmarks a subject doesn’t necessarily mean there’s money in it. There might or there might not be, which is why I bang on about finding products that sell first, then explore the market. Top TV Shows http://www.usatoday.com/life/televis...ens-charts.htm What are all those couch potatoes staring at for hours! Yahoo Buzz http://buzz.yahoo.com Top movers and leaders as searched on Yahoo. Yahoo Groups http://groups.yahoo.com If folk are interested in a hobby, subject or passion you’re going to find a group that hang out here. And if there isn’t one, maybe there aient much of a market. Why be a trailblazer when you can be a coat tail trailer. Yahoo Shopping http://shopping.yahoo.com Another great shopping portal to explore. Viral Video Chart http://www.viralvideochart.com Lists the top viral videos by multiple categories. WikiHow http://www.wikihow.com/Categories Looking for how-to articles and information. This site is similar to Wikipedia but is just for how-to. Content created by the public. Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_topics Well if you don’t know of this site you must have been sitting in a cave. A huge resource. Tip: Use the external links at the bottom of each article to dig deeper into a subject. YouTube http://youtube.com/browse?s=mp Here you’ll find the most viewed videos so you can see what folk are interested in. Ideas anyone? Last edited by ttgregory; 09-07-2007 at 09:17 PM.

That is a SERIOUS list OY! I thought my head hurt before...Thanks a lot for all the resources. That is brilliant.
I saw that the Imdb crowd is super passionate, but I thought that people just go there to talk about films and see who the actors are...what types of things could you sell them I wonder? Scott
