Niche gets talked about a lot, but what is it? A niche is usually thought to be a space or small notch, or an area or activity that a person is well suited for. Niche marketing can then be thought of as marketing that takes place within an area that is well defined, that a a person or company is well fitted for.
With Google and other modern search engines an important goal is to have your site appear on the top or as near to the top as possible on a search results page. When people submit keywords or phrases looking for services, products, or information most users will not look beyond the first or second page of results. Often the only reason someone will search beyond the front two pages is if they still haven't found what they are looking for.
It can be difficult to separate yourself from the crowd online. If for example you have a travel site, and use atravela and avacationa as keywords it is likely that your site will be virtually lost amongst the competition. It may not even be possible to find your site on Google without staying up all night looking. Placing high on or adominatinga Google's listings is important and to do this it is crucial to establish a well defined niche, and use keywords appropriate to it. Once your niche is established you will begin to see that online marketing really does work.
An advertisement for a agreat vacationa to anywhere is not going to help you stand out. However a featured vacation to California's Catalina Island, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, or Washington's San Juan Islands will move you closer to finding your niche. The reality of a niche is that it should be a thing you know as well as, or better then anybody else.
A key role is played by supply and demand. Imagine if the hula hoop were invented during a time when Google and the Internet were available. The inventor with a few press releases would have announced his product to the world. People would turn to Google and enter ahula hoopa and guess what? All results would have led back to the inventors website. The inventor would have adominated Googlea . The hula hoop did just fine without needing to be online, but the point should remain clear.
Whatever product or service you may offer, it should be in high demand and have few existing suppliers. It will also be greatly helpful for you to know a lot about your product or service, which you already probably will if you are offering your own. A large unmet demand and a low level of competition should be able to add up to a dominant Google search position.
Creating an online marketing business that is successful is not necessarily easy, and failure is likely unless you are able to find your niche early on. A good approach to finding your marketing niche is to brainstorm. Let your mind room free over as many marketing possibilities as you can. Make a list of them, and then go through the list and analyze the supply and demand possibilities for each listed item. Once you find something with high demand that only you or a few others can supply, you are on a solid path towards creating a successful niche marketing business
Opportunities at times stare us in the face and we don't even realize it. Just give some thought to what you have to offer to the world. It's probably much, much more than you realize. Then look for the unique thing, that which other's find interesting or important and market it. Sounds simple, but it takes work. Success isn't guaranteed of course, not many things in life are, but with perseverance and maybe a little luck you can make your niche market work for you.
