Dr. Ralph Wilson of Web Marketing Today published an article on how to select a niche that has enough demand to generate adequate revenue, but not so much competition that advertising costs are excessively high.

In the article, How to Fail at Online Business - Neglect Niche Marketing, he explains why franchise businesses and MLM schemes fail on the Internet due to (1) competition and (2) fewer geographical market limitations.

Simon Hodgkinson has launched Mining Hot Niches — a collection of highly informative video tutorials that take you by the hand and guide you through the wonderful world of niche market research.

Here’s just a few of the things you’ll discover in these video tutorials:

The most important thing in Internet marketing is niche selection. Without the right niche your sales will be virtually non-existent. This is where a lot of people make their mistakes. When looking for a niche they will try to promote something that interests them. There is nothing wrong with this, but you have to be absolutely sure that there is a hungry market for it.

Niche selection can be very tricky. A lot of people will pick a niche, promote it for a while, make no sales and just give up. They will claim that niche marketing just doesn’t work and that anyone that says it’s profitable is lying. Well, the truth of the matter is, a lot of people, even top Internet marketers will pick a bad niche from time to time. But the key is not to give up. If you pick a niche that isn’t profitable throw it out and move on to the next one.

Here’s a question I felt I had to answer as part of “Make Your Dreams a Reality!” month, since it’s probably one that a lot of beginning marketers have on their minds.

It comes from Katerina, who writes:

I have read all the ebooks and have the programs to find niches and still I come up empty handed because when you follow the directions you discover that most of the niches I like have a high demand but also high supply.

I have not found yet a niche that has a good demand but a low supply.

Are niches all dried up now?

I recently found out, that a lot of Internet users search for “DIY something”. (DIY stands for Do It Yourself.)

Here’s a simple business model based on this:

1. Research diy key phrases and choose a theme for your future product, for example:
   • diy scrapbooking
   • diy home improvement
   • diy plumbing
   • diy computer repair
   • diy auto repair
   • and so on…
2. Create an info product showing or telling them how they can “do it yourself”:
   • create a video product, or…
   • create an e-book.
   • Remember, you can always hire a freelancer to do this for you. (Click on this link, than go to Web Content > eBook Writing or Other Services > Audio, Video & Multimedia)
3. Create a simple website and drive traffic to it.

That’s it. Just wanted to share this niche marketing idea with you.

Have a nice day!
