Finding and Choosing your Prey
Let's be real we all want to make money from our websites. We are all creating businesses to create income. As much as we might enjoy the adventure we have as we wander through the forest of internet marketing, when it comes down to it every bear has to eat.
Every bear needs to choose a niche. The bear in the picture above has chosen his. lol! We can't exactly follow in his paw steps, cause we ain't people creeping, killing, or freaking!
WE DON'T WANT TO TERRORIZE PEOPLE!
Here are some Niche discovery tips. Now I don't claim to be a perfect bear, but over time and with the help of My Grizzly Mentor I have a general idea as to where to look to discover our inner niche. (This post is inspired by my meeting today with My Grizzly Mentor.)
Four Niche Finding Questions:
1. What are your interests?
2. What are your skills?
3. What could you teach or share with others? (This could be pretty simple)
4. What is most morally sound, and adds true value to the lives of others?
These are great questions that help us perform the introspection we need to discover our niche. Choosing a niche isn't nearly as easy as gorging ourselves on berry bushes and taking a nap, it takes work....mental work. This mental work is key to laying the foundation for your business, and discovering your vision.
I know I have talked to many people on Wealthy Affiliate about niche discovery. I have not shared the importance of question #4 enough. My Grizzly Mentor told me that this is the biggest deal when it comes to building a business around truly helping people. And who wouldn't want to honestly help people.
Thanks for taking the time to read this blog post, I appreciate your feedback, and look forward to connecting with you, and getting to know you better. All the best everyone!

If you have enjoyed this post I ask that you might share it with someone new, or someone you know who is searching for their niche. Thanks for everyone's comments. I always appreciate the feedback.
What I do not get is..are we always promoting products with every post on our blog? I mean, I imagine we may just have a value packed post with no pitch..and next post have a pitch. Is that how that works generally on our websites we create in each niche? I am just getting my site started and trying to find the flow of it all.
Your content is key to connecting with and relating to your audience. This doesn't mean that you need to be promoting things 100% of the time. Rather you promote and maintain your brand 100% of the time.
Thanks Grizzly those 4 questions really puts things into perspective.
