The most common question on the minds of all
eBusiness Owners is... You Bet You Can!!! That's what Niche Market Strategies is all about! --------- end of Today's Sponsor ---------------- Hi ... Welcome Back! Ready to roll up your sleeves and get at it? Excellent! -------------Side Note------------- Ok, let's move on, shall we! Today, we want to start with the grassroots...and answer that burning question that I know is on your mind ... "What the heck do I build a niche site around anyway?" Ok ... the easiest place to start when building a niche site is to look at your hobbies and interests. Or, as you have probably read before "Follow Your Passion." Now you maybe thinking that "follow your passion" is so warm and fuzzy and there isn't much to hold in that. If that is your mindset, then give your head a shake. You could be no further from the truth. Let me explain ... Starting a business, any business whether it is on the Cyber Highway or Main Street takes a lot of time, energy and patience. NOTHING HAPPENS over night. When you have heard people talk about passion it's because if you are passionate about the business you are in, then the work involved really doesn't seem like work. Yes...I am dead serious. If you are passionate about something then with all that time and energy you put into it, well it doesn't feel so daunting, does it. Whereas if you were getting into something or building something for the sake of money, then as you progress you will become quite sucked dry from all the time and energy it takes to get it off the ground, to the point where you grow to resent it and, of course, resent business altogether. Stick with something you KNOW or something YOU LIKE TO DO. So, take a little time now and take stock. Sit down with a piece of paper and write down the things that you are totally interested in. Things that you know that if you spent time doing everyday you know you wouldn't mind one single bit. If there really isn't anything that you are interested in, then how about hobbies. What do you like to do in your spare time. If you are an avid hunter then put that down If you like to grow miniature Canadian roses, then put that down. If you like to golf, you got it, put it down If you are into goldfish, dog grooming, cat astrology ... put them down If you suffer from migraines, hemmroids, irritable bowel syndrome, or ANYTHING at all, just put it down. I am not trying to be smart here, but with niche sites the possibilities are endless. Some of the most popular (and profitable) sites started with someone who had a medical condition and decided to build a site around it ... it's true! It doesn't matter how off the beaten track your hobbies, knowledge or interests are ... put them down. All I want you to do right now is build a list of hobbies and interests, then next session, we'll go over researching these ideas where you will find out if any of these interests/hobbies has a pocket of others who are looking to share your same interests. We'll stop here for today. Next time, with this list in hand we are going to walk you through researching possible niches and how to determine if there is a possibility of building a site/business around them. After that we get into the "show me the money!!" part where we find affiliate programs that will make a good fit. But, don't jump ahead ... come on I know you want to. As you work through your day and until our next session, keep this list of ideas in the forefront of your mind. From time to time a new idea, interest or hobby will hit. If it does, add it to your list and watch it build!! Until next time!!
