While this is not a secret technique, I figured that I would share it anyways for those of you who may not know it. eBay is a great way to find popular niches that you know people are looking to spend money on (since they are, after all, visiting eBay).

So, first step: go to eBay Pulse: trends, hot picks, cool stuff and popular searches on eBay.com

The first 10 most popular searches that show up are far to broad and popular to be good niche markets, so the next step is to use the category drop-down menu and narrow your target by selecting a category and then even a subcategory. For example: Collectibles -> Clocks. Now the 10 most popular searches in this category are displayed, and these have some good niche potential. Like result #2, "Seth Thomas". Click on that link to see what kind of things are being sold and how much they are selling for.

This is simple and easy way to find good niche ideas! And best of all, you know people are looking to spend money on these items.

Bear in mind there's a difference between someone looking to buy an iPhone on eBay and someone who'll happily hand over their details thinking they'll get a free one.....

...then again that difference is probably a small one... and searching doesn't necessarily mean they are looking to buy.

So much spam on ebay now.. would it be cynical to suggest ebay allows it because it profits from it?
