Here is a niche for you, including some free keyword research.
From time to time I like to spend a few minutes exploring new niches and checking them out on spyfu.com. When I put a keyword phrase into the spyfu tool, I am looking for a cost per click over $1.50 and more than 10 advertisers.

If you follow me on Twitter you’re probably aware that I am participating alongside Pat and Tyrone in the Niche Duel that’s being documented over at the Smart Passive Income Blog.
Now, my participation in this contest is a little bit different than Pat and Tyrone. Pat always does an amazing job of documenting everything that he does and goes into an enormous amount of detail.
