I've chosen my niche!

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

My niche is people (probably mostly families with children) who are interested in recreational activities on a farm/ranch. For example, apple picking, corn mazes, cut your own Christmas tree, pumpkin patch, horse-drawn sleigh rides, haunted hayride, petting zoo, cheese-making demonstrations, dude ranches, farm stay (overnight on a working farm), etc.

Farmers and economic developers call this topic "agritourism". I got hung up on choosing a name for my site because there isn't one common word that consumers use to describe these activities. And I was worried that I would have to re-do my site if I chose a "bad" name for. I got really hung up on searching keywords and trying to come up with the perfect name for my site. So, I decided to read through all of the lessons before doing any more of the tasks. What I've concluded is that I can search for a good available domain later and then move my site to that domain name. I think I would have benefited from a little more information about choosing a domain name in lesson 3, or a more detailed explanation of why I don't need to worry about it too much yet--that's why I decided to share my experience and though process here. (Side note, I love the way Kyle pronounces "process"--PRO-sess, rather than pross-ess).

As for my niche, I'm interested to see how this pans out. I've wondered whether any one of these activities (for example, apple picking) would be a better niche or if this will work to have a group of related activities. I've gone back-and-forth on this. Please, please let me know what you think!
