What is a Niche Market <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>

A Niche Market<\/strong> is basically a highly, targeted portion of a much larger market.<\/p>

\"finding-a-niche-market1\"For example:<\/strong> Let\u2019s say you love to garden and you\u2019re really good at it. Your plants always seem to do so well and your friends, family and neighbors are always asking you to help them grow their plants. They are seeking your knowledge with any tips you can give them. Your niche market would be \u201cPlants\u201d which is a subset of Gardening.<\/p>

Another niche market within gardening could be a tool you use <\/strong>that makes gardening so much easier. You could write a review of that tool, maybe do a comparison with a similar tool and help your readers decide on the perfect garden tool.<\/p>

For me, it\u2019s about finding that one thing you are passionate about whether it is a service or a product and by sharing your knowledge and experience through your website you are able to market to others that share the same interest.<\/p>

Start with an idea<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

I read this blog post within the Marketing Community I am a part of [you can check it out here<\/a><\/strong><\/span>] and Wendy got my juices flowing. She shared with us how she takes a little book with her everywhere she goes. While at the mall one day she did some \u201cmarket research\u201d of her own and when she got home she started researching everything she saw.<\/p>

Well, I thought that was a wonderful idea so off to the mall I went dragging my daughter and her boyfriend along. I gave them instructions on how to do market research and boy they caught on real quick.<\/p>

While at the mall my daughter noticed a lot of people in the piercing place and majority of them were looking at belly button rings. She turned to me and asked, \u201cWould belly button rings be a good one?\u201d<\/p>

UHHHH, Yeah!!!<\/p>

We jotted down some other \u201cpossible niches\u201d shopped a little bit and came home so the researching could begin.<\/p>

Stop spinning your wheels and find your Niche<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

If you are new to Affiliate Marketing I can almost hear what you\u2019re saying right now\u2026
This all sounds great Audrey but I have NO IDEA where to begin to find a niche or even how to think of niches.<\/p>

No Worries, I\u2019m going to help you.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

#1 Dummies (www.dummies.com<\/a><\/span>)<\/strong>\"finding-a-niche-market-using-dummies\"
We\u2019ve all seen them, the little yellow books that say \u201cSo and so for Dummies\u201d. Well guess what? They have already done the \u201cmarket research\u201d for you. They are not going to print books that they know are not going to sell and that people are not looking for.<\/p>

Let\u2019s head over there right now and see if we can\u2019t come up with a couple niches. www.dummies.com<\/p>

NOTE:<\/span><\/strong> Make sure you go to the Store on their site (can be found at the bottom of page) this way you are looking at only the books that have gone to print.<\/p>

I chose Games and a list of books came up and the one that caught my eye was Brain Games. So let\u2019s go with that. I head over to Google and search on \u201cpopular brain games\u201d and found the following niches:<\/p>

  1. Sodoku<\/li>
  2. Mahjong<\/li>
  3. Free Cell<\/li>
  4. Checkers<\/li>
  5. Chess<\/li><\/ol>

    For right now let\u2019s just go with the gardening idea. I searched through the Home and Garden Category and found these 5 niches right off the bat:<\/p>

    1. Garden Accessories<\/li>
    2. Garden Furniture<\/li>
    3. Garden Tools<\/li>
    4. Plants<\/li>
    5. Water Gardens<\/li><\/ol>

      #3 Your Brain<\/strong><\/p>

      Yep, believe it or not that brain of yours holds a plethora of niches that are just waiting to be unlocked. When you are out and about start taking notice of what people are wearing, what are they doing, what are stores selling out of.<\/p>

      If you must take a little book with you like I did and jot things down so when you get home you can start researching.<\/p>
