      What's a Niche and How Do You Find One? - by Kathryn Beach<br />
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=<br />
According to Wikipedia, a niche is "a special place within <br />
the scheme of things." Niche marketing is defined as "the <br />
process of finding and serving small but potentially <br />
profitable market segments and designing custom-made <br />
products or services for them." So it's all about finding <br />
your special place, and the products and services that fit. <br />
<br />
Right from the start, you should understand that your goal <br />
in discovering a niche is to concentrate all your ideas <br />
and thoughts into the most precise, concise, and focused <br />
concept possible. Your potential audience is everyone in <br />
the world with computer access and an interest in your <br />
site's topic. Your potential information resources are <br />
everything known about that topic. So you want to be <br />
sure to have enough information to eventually fill <br />
hundreds of pages, and you want to narrow your focus <br />
enough that you can be perceived as an expert, as "THE <br />
place to go" for information, products, and/or services. <br />
<br />
I want to add right now that if your only interest is <br />
making money online, this is a very difficult area to <br />
build a website around these days. That niche was "hot" <br />
eight years ago. Most successful internet entrepreneurs <br />
in that area say they would not attempt breaking into <br />
that niche if they were starting out today. There's just <br />
too much competition, there are way too many experts <br />
already. Breaking into a niche using keywords like "make <br />
money at home" "work at home" "home business" is next to <br />
impossible. There are billions of niches out there; find <br />
yours. <br />
<br />
Focus, focus, focus... <br />
<br />
Let's say you're interested in art. You can narrow your <br />
focus by choosing an art medium, period in history, <br />
particular artist, subject (still lifes, dogs, clothing, <br />
hairstyles, architecture, etc.), events, geographical <br />
location, and/or the life and inspiration of one or more <br />
artists. Your aim should be to choose as many of these <br />
focal points as possible, so that the end result is <br />
extremely well-defined subject matter. <br />
<br />
Then you want to find out how frequently people are <br />
searching for this information, what keywords they are <br />
entering in the search engines, and how many sites are <br />
currently available with that information. Eventually <br />
you will come up with your concept, your keywords, and <br />
you can begin creating your domain name and meta tags <br />
for your website. <br />
<br />
Keywords were named that for a reason... <br />
<br />
Every page on your website will have its own keywords. <br />
These are the words that people will enter into a search <br />
engine and find your webpage. Maybe your art interest has <br />
been narrowed down to the history of London architecture <br />
as depicted in the photographs of John Doe. You must find <br />
the best keywords, see what sites are currently available, <br />
maybe change your focus until you find just the right <br />
balance between what's hot, what's available, and what's <br />
wide open for you. <br />
<br />
This all may seem a bit confusing, and it's not my purpose <br />
here to show you exactly how to do all this, because there's <br />
already a step-by-step manual available and it's free, so <br />
why reinvent the wheel? It's the Affiliate Masters Course <br />
by Site Sell. Pick up your copy here: <br />
<a href="http://www.trker.com/go/3331/niche" target="_blank">http://www.trker.com/go/3331/niche</a> <br />
and go through it one page at a time. Don't skip steps no <br />
matter how tedious they may seem, because once this work <br />
is done, you'll pick up speed and even better, you'll <br />
never lose focus. <br />
<br />
Doing your homework completely at the beginning is crucial <br />
to your success. It's the hardest part, and at the moment, <br />
the least rewarding. But once it's done, you've got the <br />
skeleton, the foundation, of everything else you will be <br />
doing. You'll have a list of websites to refer back to for <br />
researching all the rest of your web pages, articles, links, <br />
and so on. <br />
<br />
Might as well start out with the current "hot item"... <br />
<br />
One last tool before I wind this up. There's a new kind of <br />
free advertising out there that's also an incredible tool <br />
when you're gathering information. It's called "Social <br />
Bookmarking" or "tagging". It's the latest alternative to <br />
linking, but it's also a great way to create your reference <br />
list when you're going through the Affiliate Masters Course. <br />
In addition to creating spreadsheets with the information <br />
you find as you're directed to do within AMC, you can <br />
create your own bookmark page online containing all the <br />
sites you visit that are relevant to your niche. Eventually <br />
this forms a web of links and backlinks, but in the meantime <br />
you'll have all your sites for further research in one place. <br />
Here's a place to read more about "tagging": <br />
<a href="http://www.trker.com/go/3303/niche" target="_blank">http://www.trker.com/go/3303/niche</a> <br />
It's a free service until you wish to use it for advertising, <br />
then there's a one-time fee. For now, the free offer is all <br />
you need, and it's a great help as you're getting started <br />
building your niche website. <br />
