There are 3 questions you need to ask yourself while choosing a niche product:

1. Are your customers accessible?
This comes down to niche marketing your product for the right people in the right space.
Demographics, age, income and gender all play an important role in this.  Advertising a feminine product in an all-male gym in sounds crazy in the “brick and mortar” world but is easy to blunder on online if your targeting is not carefully planned out.

Let’s say you have a product that will help farmers grow more crops. You need to somehow figure out a way to communicate this product to them. There’s no point in advertising on billboards in big cities that farmers hardly ever frequent.

Make sure you have a clear niche marketing strategy to easily attract your customers.

2. Does the niche have potential to grow?
Does your niche product have the potential to grow into something  bigger and better or it is a one-time phenomenon? What about business in future? When niche marketing your product, you need to consider the lifespan of the product. Sometimes niche marketing isn’t the best way, especially if your product is a one-time thing. Remember the reason for niche marketing is not to “hit and run” make a samll profit and move on, the objective is to be a first entrant in a space where rapid growth in demand will make your website the authority in that arena.

Niche marketing is great for those products directed at a targeted group with their individual needs as the focus. However, make sure your niche product has the potential to grown into future sales through repeat business or as the niche idea catches on with others.

3. Is the product already established in the market?
The key is to take an already existing product and transform it into something a niche market would use. Or, develop something that does not exist, but should. A little competition never hurt anyone but if a large and well-known company is already selling the same product in the same niche market, it is going to be hard to convince your audience to switch to your product.

As an example, the Swiffer Sweeper combines sweeping and mopping into one easy motion. It is well known and trusted by everyone. Niche marketing this same product under a different name to a specific group of people, say, university students, is not going to help you much. However, changing the Swiffer into a smaller version, one that fits inside a dorm room desk drawer, might just work.

So, before you jump into niche marketing, ask yourself these simple questions to find out if your
product is niche marketing worthy.

I’m in the business of creating and flipping websites. One thing is abundantly clear when dealing with my customers … there are a lot of people out there who are trying to get in this business or just make a success of the web properties they buy or create that don’t know the first thing about how to set up a blog, what to do with it once it is set up, how to promote it, how to get it indexed, how to get traffic and make sales.

I just launched Niche Demon exactly for this reason. If you fall into the category above, this ebook is for you. Geawhite towards newbies, it gives detailed information on how to set up a Wordpress blog and then drive traffic and make sales from it. This is a 98 page ebook jam packed full of information that even some more experienced affiliate marketers don’t know … ranging from setting up a website to marketing, social bookmarking strategies on autopilot, traffic and linking strategies that will send your site to the top of Google results, to setting up a Google Adwords campaign.

So Where’s the Testimonials Suzanne?

I’ll be honest with you. The ink isn’t even dry yet on this ebook. No one has seen it yet, so I didn’t fill it up with the usual bullshit fake testimonials you see on every other sales page on the Internet.

Let me give you an example. I just launched a site yesterday. Today I applied the very first tip in the ebook for Day 1 of the 5-Day Plan and within an hour, the site made it’s first sale, and it’s not even indexed in Google yet.

Luckily for online entrepreneurs and small business owners it’s not necessary to pour gasoline on your head and strike a match on your nose in order to gain the attention of potential buyers.  And despite popular belief, a niche market doesn’t have to be a stuffy, small corner in which you slave away for hours only to see small-time profits.  If you’re the type of business owner who puts your blood, sweat and tears into your work – there is no need to resist niche marketing, in fact, it’s about time you embrace it!

An ideal niche market shares the following characteristics:

1.  You have maximum visibility and accessibility to those who matter most – and to those who will reap the benefits of your projected value.  These people are prospective clients and future collaborators and/or partners who share mutual goals, and have similar business/economical needs.

2.  This ideal niche market will allow you to display your talent and portfolio of skills while satisfying a void or neglected sub-market within a popular area of interest.

Who gives a crap about “Fortune 500″ appearing before your company name when you can claim your thrown between the over saturated mass markets and thrive without a single interruption?  Small businesses need to be concerned with filling those tiny gaps which are often deemed to be “unimportant” by the Trumps and Gurus – and this is why the Internet is the perfect marketplace to target because even the smallest of niches can reach mountains of success with zero threat.

Take a look at yourself as a business man/woman and ask yourself the following questions:  Do I have any strengths?  If so, what are they?  What am I usually doing when I feel most confident?  Do I have a service, product or skill to offer people that is considered to be unique?  How can I take these skills and leverage them?  Allow yourself to be empowered and recognize your successes, whether it be educational or practical, so that you can get a clear picture of the niche markets you could potentially thrive in – and this will enable you to increase your visibility and grow your niche business into one which is profitable and enjoyable.

Some people might argue that the days of discovering hot niches are long gone – mainly due to market saturation and fierce competition from the wannabe gurus.  What these people don’t realize is that niche marketing will never die, and new niches are born every minute of every hour of every day – you just have to know where to look!

Is it possible to generate massive profits using niche marketing and continuously discover “secret” untapped markets – all without your competition knowing?  Well to answer that question we first have to look at the many benefits of niche marketing and why it is such an effective business model.

To start things off, niche marketing is probably the easiest way to make a buck online within a reasonable amount of time.  The reason being is that niche marketing is less competitive, and often more targeted compared to a major market such as Ringtones or Weight Loss.  Less competition means easier rankings in the search engines.  Why spend three months trying to take the number one spot in a saturated market, when you can start on Friday and be at number one in Google by Monday?

Secondly, to be successful at niche marketing you only need a few solid skills:  effective keyword research and the ability to put together websites within a short amount of time.  Because niche marketing typically relies on organic traffic (natural traffic from the search engines) there are no psycho budgets required or massive pay per click campaigns needed.

Simply do your research, find the niche, put up your website, monetize it and get some links.  From that point you’re only responsibility is to keep the content fresh – and the traffic steady!

Lastly, unless you’re into trends or seasonally influenced markets, niche profits can be fairly reliable over the long run.  The trick to creating a sustainable business from niche marketing is to simply be aware of your surroundings and make sure your portfolio of hot niche sites are spread amongst various markets.  The end result should give you a rock solid Internet based business that is sustainable – as well as lucrative!

In actuality, there really isn’t a secret to discovering hot niches.  With the right resources, an eye online and an eye on the streets, you should have no problem catching every opportunity before it swims downstream.  I shall warn you though, niche marketing is not for the lazy-minded!  You have to remain sharp and focused at all times – because with millions of millions of people connected to the Internet the “I’ll do it tomorrow” attitude will ultimately lead to your failure.

If you are a small business owner who provides a product or service, you absolutely need to be using niche marketing!  Whether you consider your product to reside within a “hot niche” is completely irrelevent because focusing on niche marketing will not only keep you better in tuned with what your clients want, but also give you a massive advantage over the hoards of struggling businesses who are wasting their time trying to keep up with the big timers.

What exactly do you need to succeed at niche marketing?

1. As stated before, you need a product or service to sell.  I know this may sound obvious to most, but you’d be surprised at the responses I’ve received when asking this same question.  It is important that your product is specific and caters to the unique needs of a targeted client base.  This can usually be an altered or improved version of a mainstream product, but with a more robust list of features and/or options.  Big companies like to cut corners – so you want to leave no stone unturned.

For example: The company who invented biodegradable golf tees.  They recognized a problem with plastic golf tees often getting left on the courses as well as being non-recyclable, so they came up with a solution that is not only beneficial to the player but also to the club owners and the environment – 4 birds with one stone!

2. Next you need to research your market and narrow down their needs to a specific niche.  Pay attention to all details including age, location and Geo-targeting, income level, sexual orientation and marital status.  The more accurate you can target your niche, the more effective your pitch will be.

For example:  You discover that all golfers in your local area are between the ages of 23-65, with 73% of them being married men in the upper class income bracket.  Within that 73%, more than half of them golf only on the weekends.  The value of this information is priceless!

3. Get a good grasp on the economical aspects of your niche product/service.  Whether you have a product already or are still in the developmental stages, you need to analyze certain factors such as cost, inventory, competition and required skills needed to take your product from your brain to your bank account.

For example: How much will these golf tees cost per unit?  Is outsourcing an option, or would it be more profitable to manufacture in-house?  These are all examples of economical related issues you have to face.

4. The last part is the best – how will you market your product? This step requires creativity and “outside-the-box” thinking.  The most effective way to market any product or service is on the Internet, so you have to decide on branding elements such as your logo and slogan.  You have to find a web designer who can capture the spirit of your product while maintaining the credibility of your sales pitch.

You will use your research and reach potential clients through various forms of media and technology.  How well will your married golfers react to an ad banner with a sexy girl in a bikini bending over to pick up a golf tee?  Will they react well, or will the promiscuous nature make them question the credibility of your product?

Niche marketing is all about discovering the ideal customer for your product, not the other way around.  Once you reveal the target audience, your product will sell itself because you KNOW there is a need to be filled.  Be sure to follow these four steps and you’ll be on your way to niche marketing success in no time!
