The book starts with an explanation for how to find a lucrative niche that is also interesting for the person who will be producing this information for that niche. There are several ideas for places to go to get ideas about niches. These ideas are likely places you have seen before if you have been looking for specific niches...ideas such as Google Trends, checking blogs, website traffic, article directories, online auctions and that sort of thing.This book seems to summarize a lot of Robert G Allen's teaching on how to be an "info-preneur" and even lists his three steps.1. Research: This focuses on choosing the correct niche and creating an information product for that niche.2. Packaging: This includes coming up with a product where value is communicated. The packaging not only includes the product, but also the website where the product will be sold.3. Marketing: Making sure the sales process is easy and fast and that you are selling a solution that solves the reader's problem.This book is a great book for someone who is just getting started in researching a niche, particularly if you plan to sell an information product. Someone more advanced may find the book a little simplistic. I would have liked to have seen the book focus a little more on finding the niche, but only the first third of the book is actually about finding the niche. The remainder of the book focuses on Robert Allen's teaching on how to develop your info product.
