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.

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.

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!

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.

Yahoo Buzz http://buzz.yahoo.com Top movers and leaders as searched on Yahoo.

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.
