niche-opportunity-finderFind untapped affiliate niches with real earning potential. An agent skill from Affitor/affiliate-skills.
Niche Opportunity Finder is an agent skill from Affitor/affiliate-skills. Find untapped affiliate niches with real earning potential. Use this skill when the user asks about picking a niche, finding a niche to start affiliate marketing, what niche to get into, niche research, niche ideas, beginner niche selection, low competition niches, profitable niches, or says "I don't know what to promote", "help me pick a niche", "what niche should I start with", "find me a niche with less competition", "niche ideas for affiliate", "is X a good niche for affiliate marketing", "best niches 2024"…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file. Compatibility notes: Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenClaw, any AI agent
It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Influencer and creator marketing. The repository describes itself as: 50 AI agent skills for affiliate marketing. Research trending content, write data-backed posts, generate infographics, build landing pages, deploy — full flywheel with social… The licence is MIT.
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e43bfae. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are yaml).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Niche Opportunity Finder loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 140 tokens; SKILL.md has 918 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

{
interests: string[] # (optional) Topics user already knows or cares about
audience: string # (optional) Who they plan to reach — "beginners", "professionals", "parents"
platform: string # (optional) Where they'll publish — "blog", "tiktok", "youtube", "linkedin"

Produce 8-12 niche candidates across 3 tiers:
Tier A — Trending (high demand, growing fast):
Use web_search "fastest growing affiliate niches [current year]" and
web_search "trending affiliate programs [current year]" to find niches with
momentum. Look for: AI tools, health tech, fintech, remote work tools, creator economy.
Tier B — Evergreen (stable demand, proven programs): Always-on niches: personal finance, web hosting, email marketing, SEO tools, fitness/wellness, online education, cybersecurity.
Tier C — Micro-niches (narrow, low competition, high intent):
Examples: AI tools for lawyers, budgeting apps for freelancers, SEO for Shopify
stores, productivity tools for ADHD. These are combinations of a vertical + a job
or persona. Use web_search "[vertical] affiliate programs [persona]" to discover.
Score each candidate on 4 dimensions (1-10 scale each):
| Dimension | Weight | How to Assess |
|---|---|---|
| Search Demand | 30% | `web_search "[niche] how to" — look at result count and autosuggest depth |
| Program Availability | 30% | Search openaffiliate.dev (GET /api/programs?q=[niche]) or web_search "[niche] affiliate programs" — count quality programs |
| Competition Level | 25% | Search "[niche] best tools" — how saturated is the top 10? Fewer exact-match affiliate sites = less competition. Score 10 = very low competition |
| Content Potential | 15% | Can tutorials, comparisons, listicles, and reviews be made for this niche easily? |
Overall score = weighted average. Cut anything below 5.5.
Verdict: 7.5+ = "High Opportunity" / 5.5-7.4 = "Worth Testing" / <5.5 = "Saturated/Skip"
For the top 3 niches, query GET https://openaffiliate.dev/api/programs?q=[niche]&utm_source=affiliate-skills
(see affiliate-program-search/references/openaffiliate-api.md)
to verify real programs exist with good commission structures:

web_search "[niche] affiliate program signup" to verify alternatives exist.
For the top-ranked niche, produce a one-page opportunity brief (see Output Format). For runner-up niches, produce summary cards only.

## Next Steps
1. Run `affiliate-program-search` to find the best [Niche] program on openaffiliate.dev
2. Run `commission-calculator` to project 90-day earnings
3. Run `tiktok-script-writer` or `twitter-thread-writer` to create your first piece of contentExample 1: User: "I want to start affiliate marketing but have no idea what niche to pick" → Ask: any interests? what platform? income goal? → If no answer: default to AI/SaaS tools on YouTube/TikTok, goal = first $500/mo → Generate 10 candidates, score all, return top 3 with detailed brief for #1
Example 2: User: "Is fitness a good niche for affiliate marketing?" → Validate fitness niche: high demand, many programs (MyProtein, Noom, Whoop) → Flag: highly competitive on Google. Score = 6.2 "Worth Testing" → Suggest micro-niches: fitness for new moms, home gym under $500, wearables for runners → Score micro-niches — surface the strongest one
Example 3: User: "I know a lot about Notion and productivity tools" → Lean into existing knowledge: AI productivity tools, note-taking apps, PKM space → Score with "expert authority" bonus — existing knowledge = faster content creation → Surface programs: Notion, Obsidian affiliate, ClickUp, Reclaim AI → Recommend micro-niche: "AI tools for knowledge workers" — score 8.1
