Find Your Niche And Dominate It!
Author: Detlev Reimer
Do you know how many people jump on the "Internet
marketing bandwagon" each year? I don't know the exact
number either but it must be thousands. The competition
is getting bigger and bigger. But WHY? Because everyone
heard there's money to be made in Internet marketing.
"Gurus" with large lists who send an email to their
subscribers making them another 70,000 bucks.
They don't see how long it took them to get to this
point and how they had to develop an ongoing relationship
with their subscribers.
They are just thinking in terms of fast money...
But is it really that easy, that fast? No, certainly not.
These so called "Gurus" have been in this field for years
when it was not as overcrowded as it is now. Nowadays,
it's like being a little piranha in a pool full of sharks.
Competition is fierce.
The first ones had a big advantage over others who
started later. If you are starting now with another
Internet marketing ezine which are dimes a dozen, you
will be crushed. How do you want to build a list if you
are not unique?
What's your niche?
You should not think in terms of fast bucks but rather in
terms of hobbies and interests. This is the only way to
make sure that you will enjoy what you are doing. You want
to put your energy into something that is fun to you. If
you go the Internet marketing way but don't really enjoy
it, you will feel like being in another "job" again. It
should not be work to you. It must be something you would
enjoy even if you would not get paid for it.
Do you like to build model ships? There's a product. Are
you a great chess player? There's a product. Do you know
how to save hundreds of dollars on holiday travels? There's
a product. And then you can start offering your knowledge
in the form of info products which are not restricted to
ebooks only. Create audio interviews, create video
tutorials, offer a service. Do whatever it takes to turn
your hobby into a moneymaker.
Ask your friends and contacts what they would need and how
much they would be willing to pay for it. Then give it to
them.
Never stop learning...
Only when you are actively searching for ways to improve
your abilities and gain more knowledge about your subject,
you will be up to date and get an advantage over your
competitors. Some people just don't get it. They are
trying to accomplish things on their own without even
spending a minimum of money on their own education.
So instead of buying ebooks and courses from people who
have already done what they want to do, they try to find
it out all by themselves and for free. Yes, I must confess,
personally, I am an info product junkie and whenever I find
a great sales letter that is telling me how get better
results in Internet marketing, I jump on it. But only
presupposed the price is in my reach...
The most expensive ebook which I have bought so far was
$167 but nevertheless was a great investment. In contrast
to this; I bought an ebook for $47 some weeks ago about
how to get more traffic and I must confess it had a
terrific sales letter.
But when I read those materials, I had seen that it was
nothing more than rehashed material from other sources.
No personal experiences, no resources given, nothing. So
I simply asked for my money back and that really is the
great thing about info products. If you don't like them,
you can ask for your money back. I won't mention his name
here but I'm sure I won't buy from him again...
Nevertheless, I'm buying new products every month (at
least 2-3) and you should too.
How to dominate your niche
Your idea doesn't have to be perfect.
Your site doesn't have to be perfect.
You don't have to be perfect.
You just have to make START.
By far too many people are daydreaming about how nice it
would be if they could work from home, enjoying what they're
doing. But they never take ACTION! You can always improve
things later if you know what the reason for your bad results
is. That's why you will have to test and track everything
until you know you are getting the best possible results.
There are too many people just doing the same that others
are doing.
Don't just be a copycat. Get your own ideas and most
importantly: Put them into practice! Test and track. Try to
come up with products which are so desperately needed that
your prospects would pay almost any price to get it. (More
on finding and developing your niche can be found in Randy
Charach's excellent ebook on the subject called "Niche
Magic".) If you have reached this point, you will know when
you are dominating your niche.
