Exploring the amazing, profitable, and sometimes wacky niches around the web.
I don’t have any keyword research handy on this particular topic and I can’t seem to get logged into Wordtracker tonight. This is more of a rough outline directly out of my idea notebook (which ironically is a sort of journal…)
The overall idea was an affiliate site selling journals. I want you take a peek at a few of these popular journals, some of which are over $20 each: [Read more...]
So in the last Niche Notebook I talked about the phenomena of Starbucks collectibles and the high price tags they seem to have on eBay in particular. (A full set of Starbucks city mugs sells for around $10,000.) And then also how the site could be expanded with “make it at home” type recipes and fun little tidbits.
Well, the site was brought to life by a reader almost immediately….
She did a great job getting the site up and already added some content, [Read more...]
I’m cracking open the niche notebook again this morning to share another idea with you. Yes, you read that right – Starbucks Collectibles. It’s not just about coffee anymore.
You would be surprised what people collect from the coffee powerhouse franchise. Some people even collect the gift cards that are available, and will pay you quite a nice sum if you have the hard-to-find design they’re seeking. I was really surprised to see “empty” and “unused” Starbucks gift cards being sold on eBay during the holidays.
But, when I scribbled this niche down in the notebook I was thinking more about the coffee mugs. There are several different design sets, many with limited edition designs, that collectors strive to get in completeness. [Read more...]
Welcome to Niche Notebook, where I share ideas for niche websites that I’ve scribbled out. The Niche Notebook is an actual physical pen and paper notebook that I carry around with me all the time for when inspiration strikes! I obviously can’t put together every idea I have, so I’m going to share them with you for you to either use or maybe just for a bit of inspiration to get your creative juices flowing on another idea. That’s the great thing about ideas, they create chain reactions and little sparks of brilliance.
Today’s niche idea is Monopoly – yes, the board game. [Read more...]
Welcome to my Niche Notebook. This is the category where I’ll be sharing niche ideas, website themes, and all sorts of things that I’ve scribbled down in my niche notebook with you.
I want you to understand that this is a real physical notebook that I carry around with me – everywhere – and I write ideas down on paper with a pen or pencil or a Sharpie, or whatever I can grab when the idea strikes me. If we met in person at NAMS, you’ve likely caught a glimpse of this notebook in real life.
The niche notebook was actually the beginning inspiration for the Niche Twitch blog! I am scribbling down ideas in this notebook nearly every day, whether they are for new niches or ways to expand niches that I’m already working on. The truth of the matter is that I can’t possibly work on every project that crosses my mind and stay sane, it’s just not possible. I wanted a way to share these ideas and hopefully spark some new ideas in the minds of others, thus Niche Twitch was born. [Read more...]
