Weird Niche: Biker Babies & Tots
Hi again. It’s Weird Niche Wednesday time. Woo hoo!
UPDATE: Just realized that it's Tuesday. lol. What a week!
If you're new to Weird Niche Wednesday, you're in for a treat. I find weird niches and websites and share them. We'll discuss whether it's a viable niche and also giggle during the process.
Examples of past Weird Niche Wednesdays have included:
- Funny Geeky Math Gifts
- Songs with Commonly Misheard (And Usually Silly) Lyrics
- Owl Pellets (ie Vomit)
Are they viable niches? You'll have to click to look. And, yes, I get insane Google traffic to this blog, including plenty for “Naked Duvet Covers“. lol. Yes. My stats are quite amusing. 🙂
ok. Let's dig in. Today's niche is just plain cute.
Biker Babies.
No, not Biker Babes (sorry, guys) but babies.
Here. Let me show you.
Is there a Viral Video?
Of course, that sent me off on a nice long trip around the ‘net – and I came across another video. The THINGS I do for you. 😉
So I checked the “Is there a goofy viral video about this niche” test – which is totally a non-indicator of whether it'll make money or not. I just do it for fun.
But, YES. There is.
So, is this a viable niche? Let’s dig in and see what’s there.

I searched Google for several of the keyphrases listed above and I’m seeing paid advertisers on some of the terms and none on others, so it looks like this niche has some potential – either as a stand alone or as part of a larger site.
Is there a Way to Monetize this Niche?
There are tons of ways to try to monetize this niche. Here are a few ideas…
- Create some designs and set up a Zazzle store.
- Apply for the eBay.com affiliate program and find products on there to promote. (I checked and there are some especially when you look for “Harley Davidson” and babies.)
- Sign up and promote other affiliate programs – perhaps baby shower invites or costumes.
- Adsense Ads – since there are advertisers on Google, this could be another stream of income.
- Write a children's book on this topic or record a CD of biker baby music and sell it on Amazon.com.
Thanks, as always, for hanging out for Weird Niche Wednesday with me.
Warmly,
Nicole Dean

September 28, 2010 at 3:29 pmToo funny Nicole! I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets my days confused sometimes. Does that mean we might have too much on our minds? Like trying to find weird niches? LOL!
God Bless,

September 28, 2010 at 4:47 pmI think running a business is ENOUGH. Add in life… and yowza! 😀
I normally have a weekly lunch date every Wednesday with my husband to get either Thai or Indian food. Well, we went today since we had no groceries in the house. So I blame him for my mental confusion! lol!

September 28, 2010 at 6:14 pmWhen I first saw the title to this blog, I thought – what a great niche!
Yesterday I saw a bicycle that was built for 2 in a race. The back rider was a toddler. He was decked out in all the gear and his own set of pedals.
This was so fun. I will be back next Wednesday.

September 29, 2010 at 6:54 amWe worked at a raceway for a fundraiser weekend this summer and I couldn’t believe the number of people who brought their little kids. Some had ear plugs and some didn’t. I think this is definitely a viable niche.

September 29, 2010 at 8:43 amWhat a fun niche Nicole and what a great example of taking a very popular niche that has people in it who are very much into something and then moving it laterally.
I’m sure it would be pretty tough to compete online on just regular biker parts and accessories since there are tons of other big sites out there already doing this.
But by approaching it from a different angle and targeting a sub-niche like the baby biker one, you are going around all that competition while still cashing in on the passion of the niche. LOVE IT!

September 29, 2010 at 2:11 pmSo, here I am, it’s Wednesday, and I’m thinking about WNW – oh happy day! Wednesday is finally here and I can go see what Nik is doing for WNW. Just to find out I’m a day-late-and-a-dollar-short. Wait! It IS Wednesday today! Good to know even my bright lovely Nik gets her days screwed up!
Anyway, having survived “Harley Weekend” in Tomahawk, Wisconsin this September, and seeing all the babies with Harley gear, the answer is a resounding YES, biker babies are big business. But, even bigger???… biker dogs. Babies and dogs, now there’s a combination. Somebody has GOT to create a video, eh? Picture babies and dogs in matching fur hats (fake fur, of course) with ear flaps, and goggles. HA! Baby on souped up tricycle with doggie in sidecar… Okay, this is too much fun. Gotta get back to real work.
Oh, and yowza! Search term banquet. 😉
