Ideas for an online business - Have you found your niche?

Successful businesses usually start with an entrepreneur’s idea. I don’t know where Kyle and Carson were when they first thought of Wealthy Affiliate. Has Wealthy Affiliate been a good idea? I believe Mark Zuckerberg was in his dorm. And Elon Musk in South Africa.

They just had an idea and started building on it. They might have not imagined that that idea would succeed since they had had other ideas that had failed. But as they worked they noticed opportunities and continued. The road became tough at times, but they didn’t give up.

At the beginning, they always thought that somebody else had already thought in that idea, but it turned out that it was they who were going to build a successful business and dominate that niche.

If you’re struggling to find a niche or you have found one but don’t know if you can succeed with it, remember that that niche idea might be worth millions to the right person. Are you that person? You could be if you treat your niche as an idea of great value.

Indisputably, a bit of common sense is needed. And you must also be willing to recognize when an idea will take you nowhere. But, once you have an idea (and you know it's a good one), usually the problem is not if the idea for a niche will work or not. Most of the time the real problem is that we don't work enough on that idea, or we get discouraged to fast. A person that has found an idea for a niche and believes it's a great idea will make that idea work! :)

What are your thoughts on this matter? Have you recently found your first niche? Are you struggling with your actual niche? If you now have a very profitable online business, did you once think your idea was not worth the try? I’d love to read your comments bellow.

Nice article. I've just started on October... and I'm not sure if the niche I've selected will be good or not... But I'll do my best try to figure it out. If it doesn't work... I'll try another using a differente aproach

Hey, Alsenitd! It’s very good you already have you niche idea! And I have visited your site and I am very impressed with it. You have built and continue to improve it skillfully! I can see a lot of hard work is going into your site and that definitely is the right road to success! Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate your comment very much!

You get the idea and you build on it and it just catches]s fire!

Yes! Very illustrative description! Thank you! :)

I Have set the groundwork for my idea and everyday I find more ways to build on it. There is a lot of websites where you can learn ways to treat migraine, but most of them only promote one or two ways of treating it. Nowhere have I found one website where I can find many, many different ways of treating them. Some have good information on Migraine and none who explained how the research is developing new treatment in layman's terms. Thats what I am building my site to be. A place where ANYONE can learn and understand what migraine is along with the pros aand cons of all the treatments available, in terms that anyone can understand.

Hello, Anita! Wao! I really like the fact that you have researched other related websites on your niche. And I’m certain that you have it all paved for success. But still, building a successful website isn’t an automatic/easy task. Hard work has to go into any website to see it flourish. But, as you have described the results of your research, you have a unique vision of your niche, and that is a game changer.

I wish you the very best on your website. I read that you already have your own domain and have been ranked by Google! That was super-fast! You’re doing great with the training and you have already completed Level 2 of Certification Course. And what a wonderful story: A Pivotal Event That Defined "Pay it Forward" for Me. Whenever I read “Pay if Forward” I’ll remember your story. Thank you! :)

You have so many elements on your favor that I really think success is just a matter of time! Best wishes! :)

Thank you! I believe in doing the research. I have a background iin medicine and can understand the terminology in website that target doctor's and other health professionals. Too often they don't relay much of what they know to their patients, but I believe the patients should know. Sites targeting patients tend to recycle old advances, sometimes calling them "new" when they've been in use for 17 years and new medications are available with even newer medications coming out in the next 6 mmonths and even new information is available on home remedies thanks to new research. Patients desdeserve to know this information.

Your background knowledge is very important for your niche! And you have got it right: Patients deserve to know this information. Besides if you use medical terminology you will only help doctors and other health professionals. But if you use layman's terms, everybody can benefit from your site! :)

Thats the idea.

And it's a very Good Idea! :)

Thank you!

Hi,
Before coming to WA. I already selected niche and built a website. Back of my mind it always says it’s already too crowded or many players. If you don’t see results you probably going to quit. But I feel we should give some time for idea to work.
Not sure if it works for me but I’m still trying.

Hi, Saiprasad! It’s great to hear about you! Yes, when you are building something the question will always arise: “Am I on the right path?” But, if these ideas come up every now and then, they may constitute a distraction and weaken our motivation. Best wishes on your site! :)

Hi! Henry-II,
I like "Most of the time the real problem is that we don't work enough on that idea, or we get discouraged too fast." Any frustrating minds on E-marketing should bear this in mind firmly and just do it.

Appreciate your insight.

Best,


James

Hi, Doctor! As the nike’s slogan says “Just do it”. There are no short cuts. The work must be done to get a website rolling. Thank you very much for your comment! Let us keep in touch!

Appreciate concurring the note, but I am not aware of "Just do it" is Nike's slogan. This coincidence confirms the existence of common sense. Keep in touch.

James

That’s right! That might be a good niche: Slogan ideas! :)

It's not always the idea but the execution of the idea.

Exactly! The idea alone will not bring success. But the idea is needed to open the trail. There is no bypass to hard work. But I believe nobody will work hard enough if they first don’t believe they have come up with a great idea. :)

Thank you very much for stopping by! Best wishes!

It is so easy to give in to that voice that says "this has already been done" or even "there's no room for you in the 'industry'" or whatever the lie may be. We have to learn to listen to the trustworthy voice(s) and not the ones that would shoot down our dreams before they even take flight. I have been guilty of giving up too easily, even though I never thought of myself as one to quit.
This is a GREAT blog post. Thanks for sharing it. Another one for me to print and put up over my desk where I can see it every day.

Hey, Bob Harris! You have hit the nail on the head! That is exactly what I want to transmit. It is very common for a person that has found a good niche to think "this has already been done" or even "there's no room for me in the 'industry'".

Thank you very much for your kind words! I really wish you the best on your online business! And I’m very grateful to keep in touch with you!

Hi - I found my niche. I am going to help people who want to do what I did. Check it out - idjproducer.com

Hi, Ivan Baker. Thank you very much for stopping by. I really appreciate all you experience at digital marketing, and that is a very noble goal! I’m looking forward to continue hearing from you. Best wishes on your projects!
