Find a Niche – Automatically!

If you are like me, then finding a niche to launch into can be difficult. The world is full of so much variety that it is difficult to choose. When I walk into a curios shop, filled with all those tiny trinkets, wall to wall, my mind begins to melt down. There are simply too many things to look at. A snake could be sitting among them and bite me before I would notice it. It makes my senses overload and I want to run out of the shop waving my hands and screaming, Too much! That is how I feel when I have to think of a new niche.

So here is a tool for me and for those of you who are in the same boat as I am. It will give you a niche automatically. If you do not like the one that show up, click Get another niche until you are happy, with your imagination juices flowing.
