Sometimes, we all have to dip our toes into some yucky substance we’d much rather avoid as Internet marketers. However, those niches that other marketers look at and say yuck at are the niches where there is still money to be made.

Remember the colon cleansing “flogs” (fake blogs). That was an untapped niche, although I’ve seen products for cleaning your colon on Clickbank well before the whole “flog” fiasco came along. Too damn bad I was way too grossed out by the pictures I saw on Google to ever put together a mini-site on it and start promoting well before everyone else did. I would probably be laughing at everyone else with their fake blogs while I stood on top of the pack with a much stronger, heavier page in Google.

There are people out there with some odd and disgusting problems. It is our job to find their solution and market it to them. This is key to true and big untapped profits. Having a clue that there is an odd product out there waiting to be marketed helps. You can do the research yourself, or if you have kickass affiliate managers, they’ll send you an email when a unique offer comes on the network.

That is just how I got one offer that has just been killing as far as ROI for me. I’m bidding huge click costs on it just to generate impressions, however, it still pays off with 150% ROI back in my pocket. And that ain’t chump change at all! With further optimization I could bump that up another 25 – 50%.

If you are looking for an odd niche, look at yourself first. What kind of odd problems do you have that you don’t have a solution to yet? Always biting your nails? Have webbed toes? In Thailand and can’t get a decent girlfriend? (Ha!) There has got to be an affiliate product or offer to solve all these problems, and if not, you can always create your own! Think outside the box to put money in your box.
