The passion market is a market where people consistantly spend money because they are passionate about their interest. Passionate markets include such things as sporting interests or hobbies. Therefore niches involving golf, tennis, fishing generally pay well because enthusiasts are hungry for information about their passion.

Solution markets are seeking answers on "how to" do something. How to lose weight or how to make money online would fall into this category.

To be profitable in either of these markets, you should have some interest in the topic you are marketing. Equally as important you need to find niches that people want and are willing to spend money in.

There are numerous products on the market to help you discover these hidden niches. While these are good, free resources can be equally as profitable.

Here are my Top 5 tactics for discovering high paying niche markets for FREE:

No matter what your interest there is generally a forum or discussion board on the net about it. Simply type in your interest and add the word forum after it. For example when I typed in golf forum, these are a few suggestions that appeared:

www.thegolfforum.com

www.forums.iseekgolf.com

www.ozgolf.net/forums

Inside you'll discover people asking questions about golf. What are the best golf courses, who makes the best clubs, how can I improve my swing etc. These are niches that need servicing and people are prepared to pay for assistance.

One of the biggest forum directories in the world is Big Boards This is a great place to start your research.
