How to Find a Niche

Posted by admin on October 10th, 2011

How to Find a Niche?

That is the million dollar question. However it is not that difficult. Finding a niche is fairly simple if you know what you are looking for and what you want to do.

A niche is simply a particular sub-market within a broad market. For example, I used in a previous post that the Android Smartphone is a sub-market within the broad market of Smartphones.

Finding a niche for you to profit from will take some work and research. Many will tell you to start off with something you are interested in like a hobby. Or something that you have extensive knowledge or skills in so that you can provide the information to others. In addition some will recommend jumping into the hottest trends and carving out a spot for yourself.

If you don’t know what you are doing this could be costly to your business. The hottest trends can help you find markets that you may already have an interest in or knowledge. A couple of good places to go to search the “Hottest” trends are AOL Search Trends & Google Hot Trends.. Both will give you an idea of what the most popular searches are and the hottest trends. This may give you some ideas on finding a niche.

Back to what interest you and what might be your hobby’s. If you are interested in growing roses maybe you can start a business teaching people how to grow the perfect rose. Then again if you have extensive knowledge in human resources you can start a consulting business and train people in HR best practices.

Anyhow to find a niche takes a little research and motivation. Whatever you are interested in make sure you are passionate about it and are willing to learn more and more. If not, then that niche will fizzle out and you will become bored with it. That is a recipe for failure. Not saying you will never fail because you will but if you are interested in something you are more inclined to start over than to give up.

Niche Marketing

Basically every product that is sold can define a particular niche. For example the Android phone is a particular niche in the mobile phone market.Therefore when marketing to these niches there are a few key points that should be addressed.

Know your Niche – That can’t be stressed enough. If you know nothing about who you are marketing to then how can you sell it or recommend it to potential customers.

I sold Ladies golf clubs and accessories in early 2000. It was not ample that I was an avid golfer I needed to know more. I went so far as to become a Certified Custom Golfclubmaker and Fitter from one of the few Golfclub making and Fitting Academies in the country. I knew the golf club inside and out, how they fit, types of material, what works for one doesn’t always work for others, and more. My business was successful with repeat “BUYING” customers.

Do You Tweet Your Niche Business?

Twitter for your Niche Business

I read a very informative post about Twitter. I mean there was a lot of information to digest in this post. What the subject did was post a survey to his members about the growth and existence of the social network site Twitter. His survey responses came from about 927 Twitter users and about 610 non-Twitters users. Now I believe from statistics class many years ago that this is an ample sample to acquire some useful information.

A few of the questions I thought were very interesting were how often do you tweet on average, how much time do you spend twittering per day, and why do you use or not use Twitter. I think these are excellent questions.

Here are some of the results to those questions from the survey. Over 70% of the Twitter users responded that they tweet once a day or less, over 25% said they tweet 2 – 10 times a day, and around 4% said they tweet more than 10 times a day. What can you conclude from the percentage of Twitter users actually tweeting? You can say not all are tweet-a-holics, however wonder if the users that tweet frequently are actually engaging in tweeting with their followers, or just tweeting to be tweeting.

Responses to how much time do you spend tweeting yielded, 41% tweeted less than 5 minutes, and 12% tweeted more than 30 minutes. The remaining Twitter users were in the middle tweeting from 5 to 30 minutes. I wonder if tweeting more than 30 minutes reflects an actual engagement of other twitters, a two-way conversation.

The majority of Twitter users responded that they tweet for business purposes with some social reasons. If you combined the solely for business purposes percentage (31%), and the mostly for business and some social reasons (38%), then you would see that the majority Twitter users in this survey tweet for business.

These percentages were derived from approximately 900 responses to the survey. According to the survey the main reasons for the non-Twitters not to tweet were they were not familiar with Twitter, and don’t see a benefit in Twitter. Now this survey was responded to by an internet experienced crowd. Do you think if the non-Twitters can perceive a benefit from tweeting, and become familiar with Twitter the potential of new Tweeters amongst this group.

If this type of survey was conducted internet wide, can you imagine if the answer to the non-Twitter users was solved how Twitter could grow exponentially? This can be construed as being at the forefront of another Facebook phenomenon. Another interesting response I found from the non-Twitters is that approximately 18% said they frequently or occasionally read other Twitters pages. So they don’t tweet however they read. That might be a great opportunity for Twittering marketers. Maybe that is why so many Twitter users use Twitter for business purposes.

This post was from 2009. I would like to know how much time people use on Twitter in 2011. Complete the POLL below and let’s see what the results are to this simple poll.

Let me know what you think.
