You could build a community around press releases for other businesses online. Include 

informational reports for free which help people design their own press releases. Have a 

message board and ezine with tips. Then, sell a press release course, service, or lists of 

publishers to contact.  

6. Beauty Products

Go to your local magazine rack and look at the number of magazines which fall under 

this category. There are dozens of them (or hundreds depending on the store). You could 

find a specific niche market and focus your site on that. You would ha ve a primary

7. Kitchen Aids

How about new kitchen appliances or cookbooks. The biggest challenge in this area will

With so many golf enthusiasts out there, all just hoping to improve their game by any 

means necessary, this is a ripe market. So, if you are a golf lover yourself, consider 

setting up a site on how to lower your score. It could sell clubs, books, 

videos...discussions could be held with a golf pro invited to help out. Even Real Video 

could be placed online showing the right golf swings.  

10. Self Defense

How about a self defense site? It could be self defense for kids, women, professional 

women, men, professional men, etc. You get the idea. Pick out a targeted niche market in 

this area and sell books, videos, and equipment all meant to help people to defend 

themselves better. With increasing violence worldwide, this is a market that will never
