Advice on Relationship, Business, Fashion, Health, Home & Product Reviews

The other day, my mom shocked me. She asked me what a niche market was, and since she is not an online marketer ( doesn't turn the computer on regularly enough to use email ), this question appeared quite out of the blue. Perhaps I should not have been surprised because in the area of marketing but particularly online marketing, this term is showing up more and more frequently. In truth, one of those late night, "Be the next internet Millionaire" scams that airs at 4 am for those with insomnia, also trumpets this term. So, to the heart of it - what is Niche Marketing ? Is it another of those overhyped terms or does this fad have some legs? So let's see what its isn't. - It isn't something you can buy - It isn't something you can make ( well not directly ) - It's not a new job opening so don't ask your boss for a transfer - And as usual, the hordes of people taking a stab at it are nearly all probably going to fail. So Let's Look at An Example Some would say that the definition of Niche marketing is narrowing down a broader need in the market places until one derives at a much more focused segment that has little or a smaller but reasonable number of competitors. Marketing to those that buy - Basketball shoes. Niche or not? Not - Michael Jordan running shoes. Niche or not. Not (What did that surprise you?) - Michael Jordan High-Top running shoes. Niche or not? Feeling the sun yet ? - Michael Jordan HighTops signed by the great one himself . Niche or no Niche? Jackpot ! So, the warmth of the sun is shining on our face, its going to be a great day. We can now see the light, yaddy yaddy, yaw. So where do we go from here? We have accurately identified a niche right? And isn't that what everyone is talking about? Do we stock up now or wait for Christmas? Not even! You have heard this street english term before right? No, I am not keeping this niche area for myself, so don't think I am holding back. Truth is, our premise of a niche marketplace sounds good but is unproven. Don't mistake an example of what the end product might look like with the actual process used to find that niche market. That was NOT the process, in fact, its not even close to the process. While the process can be done manually, you really need a tool since you want to examine and reject tens and tens of potential niches before settling on one to promote. And by the way, even if one of the niche tools highlighted this particular example and a week later 4 friends asked me for the same product I would still have some hesitations... So, did I just give you a really bad Niche Market example? It wasn't necessarily a poor example, but the truth is - far more research is required. To start off with, are those actually the keywords that people use to search for this product? In the past, only search engine statistics could tell us that. Then there were great search engine tools that could help further filter that information. But to help determine whether its a great Niche product, even search engine tools like KeyWordwatcher can only go so far. Competitive websites and the number of potential clients would have been enough data to help in quantifying this as a niche product -- in the past. But not now. The competition has gone considerably further than that in their analysis and so must you - even as a newbie. You may be someone with experience with keyword usage based on several of the great tools out there like KeyWordwatcher or the excellent google adwords tool that gives you exact number of potential clients for broad, phrase and exact searches. Perhaps even you were like me, thinking that I could use those excellent tools to find Niche Market products. Well, you probably can if you have an enormous amount of time, but a total newbie using specific niche software would blow us all out of the water due to the specificity of those tools now. Competitive Niche tool products go significantly further than just how many potential clients are searching and whether the competition has the keyword on their site. They use algorithms that use several additional variables for ranking competition. They can immediately open affiliate sites like clickbank and others with a related product already found and ready for you to use. They can find articles from Private Label Sources for reprint. And this is less than a 1/10th of their abilities. Why anyone would want to search for niche products the old manual way is really beyond me. Save yourself some time have a look at a few potential products that you can use. Watch the videos and see what I mean. Something new in keyword research. There is something called commercial intent. Microsoft's ad centre has an online program that enables one to determine to some degree whether a searched for phrase has stronger commercial intent than simply mere research behind it.
