Competition and pricing
Evaluate potential niches using specific criteria that predict success probability. Examine the number of competing listings, average price points, and seller performance metrics within your target category.
Gaps in the market
Identify gaps in current market offerings where your unique skills or perspective can provide differentiated value. Successful niches often feature room for innovation or improvement upon existing products.
