Hey all!

I have a list of niches that I'm interested. I took the Major Niche List posted somewhere on this forum, and highlighted all of the ones I liked.

Now, I'm trying to rule out the bulk of these niches based on the following guidelines.

1. At least 100,000 active businesses in this niche.

2. These businesses make at least $200,000 per year.

3. Decision makers are reachable by phone.

4. These businesses already use some form of software.

I've heard a lot of mixed opinion on whether idea extraction "works." I've got time to spare, so I figured I'll give it a shot.

How would I go about collecting information on these niches, relevant to the four guidelines above?

Thanks!
