Niche

In a previous post,  I have talked about Building A List first before you can make money online.  But before we can start Building A List, we have first to get to know about niches.

A niche is a term often used by marketers. By seeking out a specific segment of a market, a website can be developed and promoted quickly to a loyal customer base, giving the marketer a regular income stream.

A niche is one of those  dull, boring industry words, that I'm sure you have heard a lot of people talk about.   But it is however important you understand exactly what it is.
 
What is niche?  In laymans terms - your niche is going to be the area in which you intend to make money online - your 'subject matter' if you like.
                                                                          
If you know your niche - CONGRATULATIONS!  A lot of people that make  good money online do this by working in a niche they know something about.
Many people do well online by marketing information from a previous career Offline.   For example, if you were in the mortgage business an obvious niche for you to get into would be giving mortgage tips and advice online.

But please don't worry if you don't know what your niche is right now.  However  - sooner or later you will have to decide.  What interests you - what do you like to read about - what  do you look at when you are online?  All these are clues to a niche that you could do well in.

 If you are brand new to Internet Marketing -  you may start by sticking to the
 BIG THREE niches. They are called the evergreen niches - because they are universally popular and have a lot of people searching and prepared to buy information.  This is vitally important!

And these niches are:

   QUESTION:  Do you know why we've spent a bit of time talking about niche's?

   ANSWER:  Because you must ONLY put effort into building a list that is interested in your niche.

   Read that again - because SO many people don't get this... 
    "Only build a list of customers that are interested in your niche"

Building a successful, highly responsive list, is broken down into two elements.  Both are vital to your success online.

You will need to master:
 1. How to generate traffic (ie visitors)  to your site
 2. How to capture your traffic’s information once at your site  (ie how
     to get their name and email address)
