Explore Your Niche Market

The objective here is for you to be able to follow a step by step blueprint to quickly evaluating a niche market prior to registering a domain name, setting up a website or creating a product, so that you know, without a doubt, that the markets you choose are worthwhile.

First of all, if you are unsure of what a "niche" actually is, in simple terms, a niche is simply a specific topic within a market.
For instance, if you are involved in the weight loss industry, your personal niche might be to focus on "body building" or perhaps "raw food diets".

Choosing a specific niche rather than a general topic allows you to cater more specifically to a target audience, and hone in on your customer base. As you may know, generic websites that cover a broad range of topics is often far more difficult to be successful with in comparison with a website geared towards specific topics.

This is because those seeking answers or solutions to their problems are looking for targeted information, and while there are exceptions to this rule, it's usually easier to dominate your market, if you break it down into individual niches.Look over the list you created with potential ideas for topics and see if you can dissect each one even further so that you are zeroing in on specific niches.

If you have "make money online" as a niche topic, filter out ideas by covering specific sub topics within that market, (example: affiliate marketing, work at home jobs, freelancing, info product development, SEO services, etc).

The more targeted your niche, the easier it will be for you to enter the market and be able to develop targeted campaigns that reach out to specific groups of people (your target base).One of the biggest mistakes that new marketers and online business owners make, is in trying to find markets that are virtually untapped.

They want to be the primary authority in the market, to create business in non-existant industries, and in all reality, this is exceptionally difficult to do, not to mention exhausting in terms of time, money and resources.

Instead, try to focus on existing markets where business is booming, competition exists and products are already created, because if you do this, you're far more likely to focus on profitable markets. After all, the more competition, the more products typically equates to more people searching and actively purchasing this type of material.
