Start Your Internet Business by Finding The Right Niche

Everywhere you go online you hear that you must focus on a niche for your business. If you are new to Internet Marketing, this is advice you will want to pay close attention to.


Every day thousands of people come online for the first time in search of wealth. Many jump right into the markets that are already completely saturated and then wonder why they are not making money.


Given unlimited time, money and patience, they might succeed. For those that do not have unlimited supplies of these precious resources, aiming for a targeted niche market can be a much smarter way to start your online business.


So just what is a niche?


If you want the long answer, you can buy any one of the thousands of ebooks being sold online about niche markets. You can go to a dictionary and see what definition of niche it gives. But the short answer is niche simply means distinct or individual.



Everyone and their mother wants to start a business focusing on Internet Marketing. This is how the big guns are making all their money, so it must be the way to go. That is the problem. The market is totally saturated with people who have years of experience in this area. A new person trying to compete in such a broad market does not have much chance of success.


On About.com, Susan Ward defines Internet Marketing as "the strategies that are used to market a product or service online, marketing strategies that include search engine optimization and search engine submission, copywriting that encourages site visitors to take action, web site design strategies, online promotions, reciprocal linking, and email marketing".


A new person coming online to start a business has little chance of knowing enough about all the above areas to be able to compete in this market.


So how is a new Internet Marketer to have any chance at success?


Thing Smaller - Think Niche!


From the above definition you can gather the following niches:


Marketing

Search Engine Optimization

Copywriting

Web Site Design

Promotion

Linking

Email Marketing


Even if you are lucky and are extremely experienced already in one of the above niches, you will still have a lot of competition in such broad niches. This may be what you decide to do in the end, but at least be willing to explore niches within the broader areas. You may find a niche you are much better suited to.


When it comes to finding a niche market, a good resource available online is Wordtracker. Wordtracker brings several tools together in one place for those trying to find a good niche to go into.


Wordtracker is a breeze to use. If you want to narrow Internet Marketing down to targeted niche markets, just type "Internet Marketing" into Wordtracker and look at all the ideas that pop up. Each of these can become keywords that you decide you want to focus your business on. Or you can pop in and analyze those keywords and keep fine tuning your niche.


With Wordtracker you will end up with a list of niche keywords that you can focus your Internet business on. Having a smaller niche will give you a much better shot at being successful than trying to build a site around a broad topic like Internet Marketing.


Remember, success in any business comes from supplying a product that the public has a demand for and that the market has room for. Find the right niche and you are on the right path.

Niche Marketing - How to Contact Your Audience

Is your website targeting a niche market? Whether you are following the advice of top Internet Marketers or if you just happened to have a business that caters to a very specific target audience, you must be able to find them, and they must be able to find YOU. One of the joys of niche marketing is the luxury of tapping into a favorite hobby, occupation or expertise and building a business around it. If you are expanding an existing off-line business by setting up a webpage you may find your most valuable contacts right in your store. Make some brochures or cards that announce your online presence, or ask customers if they'd like to sign up for your online newsletter. Now you can contact your customers about new products, industry news or specials with no postage costs or time consuming envelope stuffing. Invite your subscribers to recommend the site to friends who are interested in the topic. Even better, have a place on your website to 'tell a friend'. Your visitor will e

Marketing, Niching Niche Markets

Niche Marketing, in simple terms is all about targeting hot topics, providing the answers, and making them available to search engines and you. Staying with the basics, here are just a few steps required in creating a Niche Market: 1. Find out what people are most interested in. 2. Create or find a product that gives the answers. 3. Advertise your product on a mini site using Pay Per Click Search Engines. Of course, as with everything, when you dig a little deeper, you find variables. One such variable is about determining the specifics of a search term's popularity. For example, you might discover that people are really interested in "pet care." However, there are literally hundreds of different pets people have, and multiple breeds of each. So you must narrow things down a bit by researching which pet information is more sought after than others. Do searches on "tropical fish", "dogs", "cats", "ferrets", etc. until you have a good

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
