When I came upon that little word -- Niche -- I wondered, "what
is this thing called a Niche -- and most importantly, can I find
my own niche too?
What is A Niche
Well, A niche, is a service or product, that fills an unmet
customer's need -- that is more of a speciality. You are not
competing with the masses for a sale on an ebook or an affiliate
tool. Instead, you carve out a small corner of the market for
yourself on the Internet.
Well, the definition was simple, however, finding a niche that I
felt comfortable with was going to be a chore, because I wanted
to avoid the affiliate programs -- and if possible find a
company that privately carried their own affiliate program --
without the quota's and the many rules.
How to Find A Niche
When I started looking for a niche market, I started to make a
list of my hobbies, what I liked to do, what I was interested in
and what I was familiar with -- to help me brainstorm. If this
little task does nothing else, it will definitely give you an
eye-opener to who you are.
Anyway, when the dust finally settled I realized that I wanted a
niche where it would assist others -- perform a service of some
sort, and would compliment my current website. Not very
decisive, but I had a direction. Then it happened, just by
chance, or maybe it was divine intercession -- anyway, I
received a personal email from one of the assistant manager's
from DentalPlans -- stating that she liked my website and
wondered if I would be interested in becoming an affiliate.
I looked at their website and the affiliate plan -- and I knew
that this affiliate program was for me.
