Find Your Niche - the Internet Marketer's Goldmine
If you haven't heard the word 'niche' being batted 
around by Internet Marketers then you haven't been 
listening. Finding a niche has become the antidote to 
competing in overly saturated online markets.
What is a niche?
According to Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary a 
niche is described as "a place, employment, status, or 
activity for which a person or thing is best fitted... a 
specialized market".
Have you noticed that despite the closing of many 
businesses in these harsh economic times, the local 
hobby train store is still around? That the 'hole-in-the-wall' 
eatery is thriving? Or that trends such as 
scrapbooking can start with a bang and still close within 
a year when four similar businesses start up in the same 
area?
The online business world reflects the same trends as 
experienced in the offline world - often with faster 
turnover and startup rates. Those who promote a 
product or site that targets a small, select audience can 
tap into a market that is otherwise not being served. 
Despite the limitations of the client base, the targeted 
nature of the business creates a devoted and active 
market - the aim of any business.
HOW DO I FIND A NICHE?
Finding a niche requires diligent research. Whether you 
have access to software that harvests and sorts 
information or you take a manual approach you must 
first start with ideas.
With a pen and paper (or computer, if that's more 
comfortable) brainstorm a list of businesses, products 
and industries. Create a list of keywords and phrases you 
think would be used by individuals looking for these 
items online.
Use a software program such as Wordtracker or a free 
resource such as the Overture Keyword Selector Tool to 
find keywords for your niche that have a high amount of 
traffic.
Although a program like Wordtracker makes it easy to 
find details such as how many sites compete for that 
market, you can also do your own research.
Concentrate your attention on question phrases such as 
"how do I..." or "where can I...". These questions will 
clue you into potential markets that need servicing.
Next, look in Google Answers. Type one of your 
keywords into the search area. What questions are being 
asked and how much are people willing to pay for 
answers? If you find a group of keywords with a high 
number of questions then enter these words in your 
browser's search engine.
What sites come up? Do they provide answers or 
solutions to the problem? How are they making money? 
Can you see an opportunity to service these individuals?
Finding a niche can open the door to a profitable online 
business. Research the market and be certain that your 
product or service is valuable to this group. Find forums 
or groups that target this audience and pay close 
attention to their concerns.
If you can help these people you WILL make money. The 
best of both worlds!
