So, how do I find myself a niche?

Finding a niche shouldn’t make you feel like it’s kept at the end of the rainbow or hidden under a rock. It’s as simple as checking through your list of ideas, interests, and things you are good at to pick just one which you can conveniently and tirelessly handle on a long term, yet profitable.

A common mistake often made by people looking for their first niche in affiliate marketing is trying to find something different from what other marketers are doing, just to avoid competition. To give you a shocker, there is absolutely no niche that you can think of that has not been tried before! In fact, having fewer people on a niche is a sign that there is no demand for its products or you can’t earn from it.

As it stands, the more the competition and the more the demand for a niche, the more profitable the niche is. This is because such niche is a general problem or need, and a large number of internet users will be in search of a solution.

That doesn’t put your choice of a niche on a tight leash. There is a wide range of viable niches out there, and it will be good to find the one that will match your interest, especially when it is of great importance that you have a good knowledge of your topic (another name for niche). That is what can make earning through online marketing less of a job and all-fun for you. Else, you won’t get very far in that niche.

That aside, you don’t want to sound clueless while communicating with your niche audience; you may lose their trust in your recommendations in a snap. After all, they landed on your page because they believe you could help them decide, and you know the blind can’t be leading the blind.

The bottom line is that every niche represents someone’s problem, want or need, and for you, the solution provider, it has to be your passion, hobby, and interest. If your performance is impressive, your audience will return to patronize you, and some may recommend you to their friends and family.

What if I still can’t make a choice out of my broad topics of interest?
