Public Domain Magazines for Discovering Niche Markets
I was on a forum today and they were talking about various ways to find new niche markets. The original poster suggested using classified ads in newspapers. Pull out a paper and circle some of the different products or services being sold and start thinking outside the box. Gives you a few ideas for keywords to be used in some of the keyword tools. One guy was having a hard time coming up with keywords for Micro Niche Finder, a specialized keyword tool. Well….using classified ads would be perfect to dig up some new keywords.
Then someone mentioned magazines and how they could be used for the same thing. The so called guru’s have promoted magazines as a method to discover profitable niches for a long time and it works. I added my two cents about using magazines to uncover profitable niches below.
Magazines are helpful on several levels today, just browsing as you mentioned …..starts the creative juices flowing.
One thing to keep in mind, in today’s economy we see magazines getting thinner and thinner. Also, they tend to be more niche specific…..the broad cover everything type magazine is getting pretty thin! This means that anyone advertising a specific niche more than one or two issues in a row are making probably making some decent money. So…..you just found a good niche that is profitable 
Another use for magazines:
Magazines that are in the Public Domain provide an excellent source for unique content on many different niches. I’m not much of a public domain expert, but there’s a guy that promotes using public domain content from magazines to develop different niches. Besides finding these mags at the library you can usually grab them on ebay for a couple of bucks.
You don’t have to worry about everybody and their brother jumping on this method because it involves a little work. You either have to scan and convert the scan to text…..or retype. Surprisingly I found these mags a good source of images that you can use for just about anything. Public Domain is a great way to think outside the box when it comes to discovering new niche markets!
Don’t forget to take your new keywords and plug them into your Micro Niche Finder keyword software. Of course you can use any keyword software you have or the free Google Adwords Keyword Tool.


The undeniable truth is that internet marketing provides an opportunity for anyone who is willing to learn, invest and stick with it. For me, the last 5 years have been plagued by poor health but I drag myself up to my computer when I’m able, write a blog post, work on an ebook, learn more about building websites, create some graphics, look for more learning opportunities and implement my monetization efforts. Mind you, I can’t work like most people, sometimes I go for a week or more not being able to work. I almost never get 5 days in a row where I have at least 8 hours a day to hit it hard……My point, even though I’m ill, internet marketing has provided an opportunity to work for myself, given me a chance to earn a living and presents income opportuities that have no ceiling.
