Thoughts On Choosing Your Niche!

Hi again Everyone

A constant thread in many conversations, especially in Live Chat and in the course comments, is what niche to choose. Many of these are from newer members who are in the process of setting up their websites, but some are from members who are not totally happy about their chosen niche and ate thinking of changing, and also from some who have reached the stage of wanting to start an additional website.

Personally, I fall into both of the latter categories. My first website is now four months old, with the consequent 40% site trust, yet I am not completely happy with. I try to post regularly, but I do struggle with finding subjects to write about, which I really should not. I am interested in the niche, but I can't say that I have a passion for it, which would help so much. We are always advised to find a niche which we feel passionate about, as you know.

To this end, I have been going back over the training on choosing a niche, and also doing some additional research for myself.

What is a niche anyway?

I have heard of a niche described as a target. I think that really means that you are choosing a niche which will appeal to as many people as possible, giving you a target audience. The hope then is that these people will target your niche and will buy whatever it is that you are offering there.

So if you really want to make money online, it is vitally important to choose a niche that is of interest to as many people as possible, and make sure that you are offering them something that they want or need sufficiently to make them buy from you. If the audience that you are able to reach feel strongly about what you are offering, especially if you can appeal to them at an emotional level, then they are much more likely to buy from you.

So which niche to choose?

Evidently the most successful niches fall into the following four categories:

• Relationships
• Health
• Money
• General Interest e.g. Pets,Sport, Hobbies etc

So when you are deciding on your niche it is a good idea to make sure that it does relate to one of those categories. So long as it does, then you may be sure that it will have a wide appeal and if you go about it the right way you will be able to target a large audience. And if the niche you choose is one which you feel passionately about, that is a great bonus!

I do hope that this may be of help to some people. I am certainly using this information to choose my next website!!

Many thanks for reading this, and have a great, positive and productive day Everyone, and a happy weekend:)
