Step 1. Explore Popular Course Niches

Exploring popular course niches is a great place to continue your search. Find out which popular course niches match your skillset and add them to your list.

Assess all the ideas and note down their pros and cons. This will help you select the best idea in the final stage.

Step 5. Select an Idea

You have narrowed down the list of niches. From this pool, now you can pick the one that is important, suited to your skill set, and have market demand.
