Finding Profitable Online Niches – Passion and Hobbies
Affiliate marketing is a constantly moving industry and there are many popular training tutorials pointing out how to finding most popular and profitable niche’s to market and also finding multiple sub niche ideas within each market. Narrowing down to these sub niches is where you can really start to get some revenue flowing and start earning real profit.
It’s not as hard as you may think and I will suggest a few programs for you to check out and think about what might work for you.
The two most profitable and popular niche markets are the EVERGREEN or SUSTAINABLE and the PASSIONS or HOBBIES niches. You may already know about Amazon, but let me show you other various affiliate programs should you want to take on the niches of PASSIONS AND HOBBIES. The Passions and Hobbies niche is profitable because most people will spend their money on products that are associated with these markets. Who hasn’t personally spent a couple of hundred dollars when they go to watch their favourite baseball team or when they attend a concert of a favourite musician?
People who are passionate about a product or experience will spend plenty of money to satisfy their passions. Let us say you are passionate about your hobby of Coin Collecting. Most likely you will have no problems paying a lot of money to own the latest item.
You don’t need to look to far at how people crazily spend up on a passion for tech items like Video Game Consoles. Have you noticed that every time a new Sony PlayStation or Microsoft X box model is released people will stand in long cues at the stores just to buy a new one. Many will even pay triple the price just to get one prior to Christmas.
These peoples’ enjoyment factor will always spend a lot of money on niches they really want to partake in. It is like satisfying their craving need for something they want to have at once. When a person extremely enjoys something and wants to be among the first to own an associated product, they will gladly spend lots of money.
Following below I will list out some really good affiliate marketing programs in many, not all, of these profitable Passions and Hobbies niche markets. If you haven’t joined Amazon as well, I do suggest that you use Amazon as one of your affiliate programs, and also broaden your horizon and join other programs that pay higher commissions.
Collectables Niches…
Many people love being in the Collectables Hobby. There are many Collectables niches, but first let me explain something. Many niche markets overlap. Collectables, on its own is too broad a niche because there are collectable’s in many sub niche markets. Even items like TV Geek items can be considered collectable’s.
Narrowing down your niche is an important part of affiliate marketing. Just to say you are in the collectable’s niche, you would have to be more specific and zero in on targeting on a specific product item. Example, you could be in the coin collecting niche, the Precious Moments Figurine collecting niche, baseball card collecting niche, plus many more, I think you get the idea.
Very popular collectable’s market can most times be associated with well-known companies that advertise their products and items country and/or worldwide. They have great exposure that many people are aware of and give off appeal to budding fans and enthusiasts. Below are two such extremely sought after collectable markets all around the world.

TV and Movie Geeks Niches…
Another very broad niche market with many areas you can follow. The fan base associated within this nice is potentially huge and though I could have chosen from so many options in this category, I have picked those that are the most known around the world and that you would know of yourself.
STAR TREK
Too often people don’t drill down enough when searching for a niche to promote and will overlook something like a fan-favorite TV and movie series. Always remember what a niche is. A group of the population that has a desire or need for associated products of the niche they have a passion and want for. Surely you can understand that Star Trek has a HUGE worldwide fan-base but did you know that you can become an affiliate for their products and items.

TV AND MOVIE GEEK NICHES
Just like with the Star Trek niche above, there are plenty of other movies and television shows that have a ton of followers. Each one of these are individual sub niches. You could do a website solely on one TV show or movie, or you could combine a couple, such as your favorite selection in superheroes.
ThinkGeek Affiliate Program Information
The link above is to the affiliate program information page as seen in the above image, of the website called ThinkGeek, which sell every kind of collectible, clothing and accessory items for all geek niches listed above. This affiliate program offers up to 9% commission
Making money with these affiliate programs you need to remember to drill down to a specific sub niche. One way to help you do this is to visit the main home page for each of these websites and look at what they are selling. You can find many niche ideas that are endless.
You can also workout and notice how some niches within the websites can be joined with others. Let us take the ThinkGeek website. If you chose to make your affiliate niche website about Superheroes, you could drill down and promote items for not just Male Superheros but also Female Superheros and concentrate with Wonder Woman and all the other female superheroes as well. Maybe some of the superheros from Xmen, Batgirl, Supergirl, the Invisible Woman, and Catwoman. I think you get my point.
Just by looking and studying each website you can drill down to many possible tight drilled down niches and gain a foothold in the market place.
HIGHLY PROFITABLE NICHE MARKETS…
The Passion and Hobby niche market is quite profitable because there are millions of people who are fans and engage in these niches all the time all over the world. You can make a lot of money by just narrowing down to a specific sub niche, like the Female Superheroes niche idea above.
So these affiliate programs I have revealed are in niche markets that have a huge following, and the potential for making a handy passive income is very do-able. All you need to do is look at these websites and decide on what your drilled down niche might be.
VISIT THESE WEBSITES…
Go ahead and visit these site. View the affiliate program information pages and then click on the website name to visit website home page. Only the Star Trek Shop affiliate page will not work. You would have to go to Shop.StarTrek.com
Looking through the Star Trek Shop website, a thought of a focused niche – Original Star Trek TV Series Collectibles could be promoted. The $274.95 Tridimensional Chess Set, or the $149.95 Bluetooth Communicator, and various other items specific to the 1960s TV series could be a worthwhile project to work on. Drilling down and promoting items like these will be to a specified captured audience that can provide nice results
I can go to the websites of each affiliate program I have posted and find at least one niche market to target. What about you? Can you find a profitable, and all niches can be profitable, niche market from any of these programs?
