Research - Keywords & Your Niche

Identify a Market

So how do you find market niches that are profitable? There is no fool proof formula to finding the perfect niche. It’s a mix of research, research and research - with a dash of instinct and passion thrown in.

Passion - because it doesn’t matter what niche you pick, if you are not passionate about the topic, the site is doomed to failure. After you learn the game, your passion can be the GAME - then it doesn’t matter what the topic is. Your passion will become being successful at what ever topic you pick. While you learn the process, you really should pick a topic you know something about.

Instinct - is what your gut is telling you. Whats your immediate reaction to the niche? Did you find the topic or product and say yuck or did you have a wow moment where you said to yourself “I didn’t know you could…….” (get these, buy these, etc -you fill in the blanks).

Whats A Niche?

If you have a business online, you maybe looking for a Niche Market to get into.

Wikipedia.com defines a Niche Market as follows:

A niche market also known as a target market is a focused, targetable portion (subset) of a market sector.

By definition, then, a business that focuses on a niche market is addressing a need for a product or service that is not being addressed by mainstream providers. A niche market may be thought of as a narrowly defined group of potential customers.

A distinct niche market usually evolves out of a market niche, where potential demand is not met by any supply.

Such ventures are profitable because of disinterest on the part of large businesses and/or lack of awareness on the part of other small companies. The key to capitalizing on a niche market is to find or develop a market niche that has customers who are accessible, that is growing fast enough, and that is not owned by one established vendor already.

Sounds pretty good doesn’t it?
