How Does One Find A Niche?

There has been a lot of discussion about being passionate for your niche.

But, the first question I would ask is, "What is your intent for the niche?"

If you want to build a site where you will continuously be adding content, then it is important you have a passion for your niche. Otherwise, you'll find yourself doing other things.

If, however, you want to write an ebook that solves a specific problem, then your enduring attention is not necessary (other than keeping people coming to your site). You can even farm the writing of the book out.

In either case, you want to look for a topic that has a relatively high number of searches compared to the number of sites. The sites should have relative low PR values. And, you would like few competing PPC ads.

This way you can get pretty good positions in search results for your keywords and can have inexpensive PPC campaigns.

 

Hi Everyone!
Another good place to look for crowds are Social Sites!
Have a great Sunday Dinner!

I have read your post and found it really nice. I am totally agree with you and would like to say thanks to you that you share this post here with us.

 

Just ask yourself.... What do you buy online? then narrow it down from there

 

well some time ago i fell into this niche which i tried to promote which i knew nothing about the result was i became like a person running after a train and there is never enough time to catch the train i also had an elephant in the room which i did not see or think about but was costing money so that is how i failed it is true to say that 98 percent of people fail on line and i am one but it would never stop me trying again hopefully with something i know something about or have time to learn about that has been my experince on line.

Well said Michael. You need to keep trying, no matter what.

Don't ever give up!

 

you don't have to know much about a niche to get started. just learn as you go along. if you spend some time learning about your new niche every day, then you will become an expert on it before too long. you will at least know enough to talk about it and gather a list to promote to. if you just keep learning about it as you go along, you'll know more about that topic than those looking for more info on it. if you want a great list of niches to look at just contact me and i'll send it to you : ) all the best!

 

Not really. It's why we have the Internet.

 

Do what you have a passion to do. But remember it has to be a profitable niche. You can check on Amazon to see if there are any successful books on that topic, or see if people are continuing to advertise on that month to month. You can also do keyword research to see if it's popular but that's just part of that research and remember that just because you have something that has a less competition and more demand, doesn't mean it's a profitable niche. In highly dominated niches you can compete. But it has to be unique and something that is not already out there. Do some email research.

Or learn something profitable from somebody else and add what they are missing. Or addwhat doesn't work anymore. Also you have to make sure that you can sell your that unique product to a bunch of targeted people who match your funnel relationship building all the way to that product for your niche. Remember, in my opinion you should build your expert frame first then it's easier for your niche to buy anything you promote because of that. Not because you have a product.

Products don't sell to niches, expert platforms do. I would do some searches on that and get that down first so as you're building your presence in your niche, you're also building why people should do business with you instead of the hundreds of people just selling a product to them.

 

Hello Victoria
Well your question has caused lots of interest!
I would suggest choosing something you are knowledgeable about or would like to learn more, as you are going to spend a lot of time promoting it. Also choose something you are passionate about, your enthusiasm for the topic will shine through. Best wishes - I have a number of articles on my website that could help you - take a look....

 

haha - very true! I have discovered I can write more passionately about stuff I am very familiar with and that I have had personal experience with, but you are so right. We have a wealth of research at our fingertips!

 

I think you have to find something you are interested in. Something you are passionate about.

 

I have always researched niche market as I enjoy promoting what few others are promoting, high tech, unique, there are many products or services in this category. You have to stay on top of new products as I do, I would go to trade shows for high tech electronics, as example, it takes a little effort, but there are plenty to choose from.

Success to all,
