    3D printing isn't an online niche.

    Sites about a topic doesn't make it an online business.

    I don't see why not. You could sell designs, templates for the various types of software that print to the 3d printer. You could sell components or the printers themselves. You could offer your services as a troubleshooter for when printing doesn't turn out as expected.

    Your claim could equally be applied to any of the other items. How do you see smart watches as a niche - surely that is a "topic" too?

    It's a good list of trendy or fresh products. Mobile related things keep growing. Others are relatively very new to talk about the potential or profitability. Education(IT or anything) is not new and I don't see an extraordinary potential on education.

    indeed, those are very trendy niches (esp mobile app dev and infographics related).

    I'd pick 75% of your list but I will also include some tee and finance/loan niches.

    That would be selling software and hardware, nothing else. It does not make 3D printing an online business.

    Hi Mamun, my best advice to you would be blog about something you love. And i really mean it. If you will start a blog and you will do that "just for the money and traffic" i can bet your blog sooner or later will die. If you will blog about something that you like, you will keep going for a long time. But if you would like a topic (I would recommend actually for anyone who is reading this post) - wireless headphones, wireless chargers, wireless speakers and other wireless stuff. Why? Couple reasons. 1. Wireless technology is a comfort. It allows to wear things without connections and gives you movement freedom. 2. Within next couple of years most devices that we use today will be wireless based. Apple and Samsung are talking about wireless chargers already... Of course other companies will follow and we will have wireless "mania". I might be wrong , but from what i see around us this is really realistic prediction. So here you go. :)

    Thanks Sarahk, indeed i wrote some trending,profitable ideas. But it's up to you guys to narrow it. If you have patience, enough knowledge and passion - you can nail all of these topics #1 search engine. Choose your keyword and think about future projects (iphone watch - watch Tim Cook's interview and see what he reveals about wearables and so on...) Be proactive. None of us will make your success. You have to do it yourself.

    If I create a site or blog which discusses, reviews and offers insights into 3D printing and 3D printing accessories and monetizes via affiliate marketing (Amazon for example) then I indeed have an online business and 3D printing would be my niche.

    I wrote a blog post about hot new products for 2014...

    Curved Televisions
    Smart Watches
    Other Smart Devices
    Wearable Technology / Wearble Health Technology
    Unmanned Small Scale Drone / Aircraft
    Video HEadphones
    Smart Devices
    Augmented Reality Glasses
    Iris Scanners
    Internet Home Appliances

    Honestly whenever i'm looking for a niche that i want to dominate i never go searching on the Internet for it because if that information is already on the net you better bet that niche is now going to be filled with shark infested waters.

    What I usually is READ tech(or other major niches) magazines and look for potential products that are about to hit the market and go ahead and pre-promote a niche sate for that specific product and by the time the product is released to the market I will have had the advantage for 2 reasons!

    1 is because very little competition(because very few people promote niches by finding them on magazines) and 2 is because i pre-promote the sites using completely solid white-hat methods(which take time but hey i'm in no rush the product hasn't even been released yet:)

    anyways thats my 2 cents in, i'm sure there are many different ideas people can come up with to find good and fresh niches, but this is my method just simply use sources OUTSIDE of the net to find these low-key niches(sorry to ramble on but this is definitly one technique you'll want to test out the next time you pick up a magazine)

    It's fun that you've mentioned AR in 2014. It demonstrates how many time it can take to make a way from trend to real exploitation.
    It looked like a joke 5-6 years ago but now we see real benefits of augmented reality and there are many aspects of people life where AR developers are really helpful.
