http://search.twitter.com is a good one too for seeing what people are talking about in any niche.
Another way is reading forums to see what problems people are talking about. The questions and problems that get posted again and again are problems that you could likely make an information product about and find a receptive audience to buy. Write down the related words and terms they use. These are the real keywords. Write down the recurring problems you could solve and questions you could answer with your information product.
Another way is to do searches for your topic then read everything on the Google results page making a list of the key phrases that come up in the results. The related company names too. Check the adwords ads too. Look at the terms they use and what they are appealing to in their ad. Do some basic KW research on those phrases. Then look at every site on the first page of results. note the terms they use, the categories they use, what they sell. Make a lot of notes.
This is real time keyword research, the words people are using now to talk about whatever niche. 50% of all search terms are used only once. How people talk and what they write online is a real clue to keywords they use.
If you don’t mind spending $25-60 bucks on a niche that already looks good, make a survey, offer them something like a free report to answer, get them on a list using adwords for a fast result.
If you get a lot of people answering and they reply to questions about problems you can solve with an information product you have a high likelihood of success.
