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!

To be honest, I am most interested in Jesus. I love to study the word and read books about the LORD. I love the mercy ministries and serving people who are in bad situations of poverty or substance abuse. Basically, my favorite thing in the world is thinking about and talking about the things of God.

what is a way I could morally turn that into a full time job? Review books? Or is it adds you attract to your web-site? I am having trouble getting my head around this. I am open to suggestions.

Very cool! I agree that the work of the Lord will always be the most fulfilling work we ever do. When it comes to making it into a business, I would in corporate Christian principles into how you operate your business and interact with your audience. In my view of things teaching the good word in an effort to earn a living is not what Christ would have us do. He gave His gospel freely, and he would have us share it freely.

I would look for an opportunity to run another business that is not focused on Christ, but rather teaches and empowers people based on Christian principles.

I very glad to have met you, and look forward to working with you. I am personally looking to build a business based upon Christian principles and I would be happy to have you be apart of it once its fully operational.

Let me know what you think. I'm here to bounce ideas, and help brainstorm. I look forward to hearing from you again.
All the best.
Warm Regards,
Evan

I agree with all that you said. The reason I asked what I did was because I wanted to try to understand how this all works and the advice was to identify something I am passionate about. I am have trouble seeing how to connect my interests with making money. I love Jesus and my mind and heart are so focus on Him these days that everything else seems like a waste of time.

I like to hike and I love the mountains. I like to travel too, but I have not really had much time for them and I am not exactly an expert on either one.

Can your give me examples...maybe a hypothetical idea and the process and opportunities that would apply. This all seems so abstract to me right now, so maybe this could get me over the hump.

Thanks for your interest and care. I am so glad to know that there are other believes here. Today while I was praying, the Lord impressed upon me to develop relationship with followers of Islam and show them who Jesus really is. I have been thinking about it all day. I know that there is provision already made available so that I can fulfill my purpose and calling in this season. I am hoping that WA is the vehicle God is using. My mind is open.

Best Regards,

Julia

I totally understand. As far a quick and simple example goes. The business I am currently working on will ultimately help others start and run their own online business through providing them with the training they need. Within the training I will be teaching Christian principles.

The tricky thing we must always remember when wishing to share anything especially our faith is that to be received best, it must first be invited. If they haven't first asked us, it is far harder for them to listen to and hear what we have to say and share.

I'm proud of you for wanted so very much to share the good word. I too want to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. I look forward to talking with you again. Power to you!

Warm Regards!

I have narrowed it down to skincare for women over fifty. I my site (finishingbeautifully.com) there will be room for all kinds of campaigns that relate to the things we women experience, mind body and spirit. I have bounced ideas off my connect group and they are all very supportive of my vision. Best blessed Evan

Well-laid out information, thanks for sharing!

Findaforum.com Google trends.Google news.com Quora.boardreader amazon etsy ebay . These are the places to find need niches.

Great information when I feel stumped on looking for a new niche :) Thanks

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.
I appreciate the share..

This was great. Loved it!
