Selecting a Niche – Picking the right one will make ALL the difference
There are many different branches of internet marketing but the most popular by far is the affiliate aspect. Selling someone’s product and making a % commission off each sale you make. It’s a great and easy way to open up multiple income streams while working from the safety and comfort of your own home.
What is a Niche?
A niche is a group of people we want to market our product to. For instance if we’re marketing ‘weight loss’ then our niche is ‘people who want to lose weight’ of course the more precise we can be ‘people who want to lose weight within 7 days and without breaking their current diet’ the easier it will be to market.
That’s why understanding the niche is so crucially important, because all the keywords and articles you write up should be aimed directly at your niche. However where most people mess up isn’t picking a product or designing their website but it’s at the point of picking their niche, which to your surprise might not seem like the most important aspect of it but think again.
Your niche determines a few things;
1.How much competition you’re going to be facing?
2.How targeted is your audience? Do you know exactly who you want to hit?
3.How much money will you have to spend to rank for this niche?
So how should you be picking a niche? Well the best way is also the simplest way – think about what you enjoy and like. Find something that you are knowledgeable about and think if there’s a problem where you can offer a ‘solution’. If you keep watch on this points it would be much easier for you to make money online.
For instance if you’re a big golfer then use that as your niche, just break it down into a smaller category then check the keywords, how easily can you dominate this niche? Keep looking until you find one which looks promising.
Finding a niche takes time, don’t sit down for 10 minutes and expect instant results. Give it some time to come to you, but finding the right niche will be VERY profitable – so do it right the first time.

One of the biggest mistakes that I see people make when they are picking a niche – they pick something that they “think” they can make money with.
A lot of the times, people will pick a niche they know nothing about. So when they go to post an article, they have to do hours of research just to get information to post. Then they have to write the article. Before its over, the person has spent all day doing research and writing the article.
Before long, the person is bored with the topic, or runs out of material to write about.
Wouldn’t it be better to pick a topic that actually interest you? And something where you have some first and experience? That way you do not have to do lots of research, and your not going to get bored as fast.
