3. I’m cracking open the niche notebook again this morning to share
another idea with you. Yes, you read that right – Starbucks
Collectibles. It’s not just about coffee anymore.
You would be surprised what people collect from the coffee
powerhouse franchise. Some people even collect the gift cards
that are available, and will pay you quite a nice sum if you have
the hard-to-find design they’re seeking. I was really surprised to
see “empty” and “unused” Starbucks gift cards being sold on
eBay during the holidays.
But, when I scribbled this niche down in the notebook I was
thinking more about the coffee mugs. There are several
different design sets, many with limited edition designs, that
collectors strive to get in completeness. The Halloween mugs and
the different city mugs seem to be among the most popular.
A few months ago I saw a full set of the city mugs sell on eBay for
several thousand dollars. (Which is what led to this niche being
written in the notebook in the first place!) I did a quick search on
eBay this morning to see if there were any more full sets and
found one, with a buy it now price of $10,000.

4. It’s not a huge niche, most of the keywords are less than 50
searches per day according to Wordtracker.
However, I think it would be a really fun niche for a side project.
And it could easily be supplemented with additional offerings, like
coffee and all the other things that Starbucks offers. You could
even add recipes for “make it at home” versions of your favorite
drinks.
In fact, the recipes could be the niche and the collectibles could
be the additional monetization method. If you do offer the
collectibles I think you’ll definitely want to be an eBay affiliate,
because that’s where the retired coffee mug designs end up.

5. If you look at the screenshot above closely you’ll notice that
Starbucks even has its own category under collectibles on eBay.
If you’re doing something in this little niche or you start something
up I’d love to hear about your adventure and how things are
going. I hope this Niche Notebook post has given you an idea or
sparked up some sort of little tidbit in your mind today.
Happy marketing
