  3. Look for niches that sell consistently all year long, rather than ones that are up some months and down the next.

If you can find a niche that has a high niche score and consistent historical sales there’s a very good chance the niche will be profitable.

Step 6: Identify Suitable Products to Sell 

Just because a niche is strong doesn’t mean all the items within it are good choices to sell. Luckily, the PRO Extension can help you find the best products within a niche.

  1. After you’ve found a good niche, review the list of items inside the PRO Extension.

  2. Identify the products with a Product score of 7 or higher, as these will be the best ones for private label or reselling.

Step 7: Evaluate How Profitable a Product Is

  2. Click on Profit Calculator.

  3. See the net margin and monthly profit for each item.

Remember, it’s not enough for an item to have high demand and low competition, it also needs to be able to make money.

The profit calculator will estimate what your margins will be so you can decide whether or not a product is worth selling.

Step 8: Try Different Searches and Keywords

If the first niche or keyword you try doesn’t seem very promising try other searches.

Here are a couple of suggestions that can help:

  1. To get new product keywords, click the arrow to the left of a product, then click Get Keywords.

  2. To get new niche keywords, click Niche Keywords at the bottom of the screen.
