Self-Employed Freelancers & Small Businesses: How
To Find A (Kick Butt) Niche - And Grow Rich
by Roy Primm
Frequently
Asked Questions
“Niches are like bathrooms; you never notice one until
you need it!” –Primm
1.
What is a niche?
A niche fills an unmet customer
need. Niches are at the heart of every successful industry,
business, product, or service.
Niche
marketing is the opposite of mass (general) marketing. It
targets specific people with specialized needs.
Niches
build industries, businesses, and jobs.
Having
a niche is the only way to eliminate competition.
2.
Why are niches so important for freelancers and small businesses?
Niches provide specific
customer needs that have been ignored, overlooked, or neglected
by others.
The ability
to create a niche is the quickest way to financial success.
A niche
levels the playing field - if you have little money, zero
connections, or no experience.
The highest
paying skills are the ones that focus on a niche segment of
their industry, rather than the mass (general) market. People
who specialize are paid the most.
3.
How Can I "Out Niche" My Competition?
Make
it convenient for your customers by learning how to create
a niche? Then you’ll make it more inconvenient for your
competitors to compete with you. Don’t just wait to
find a niche, create one! That’s the key.
There
are always prospective customers that you or your competitors
have never seen. The first one to create a niche that appeals
to them - will win them.
Increased
profits are waiting for the person or business that can create
the next niche in their chosen industry.
People
want products and services that cater more to their personal
needs. The person or business that can be the first to cater
to these specific niches (needs) will win this new breed of
customer.
Focus
on what specific niche you can fill or improve on that others
won’t, can’t, or haven’t filled yet. This
could fling you ahead of your competition literally overnight,
before they know what hit them.
4.
How Can I Use Niches To make more money for my home-based or small business?
You can
benefit by focusing on smaller (specialized) segments of your
industry. This is niche marketing at its best. Take the bow
and arrow approach, not the shotgun.
Remember,
your competitors are constantly looking for ways to steal
your customers, by appealing to the special needs you’re
not filling. Your priority should be to find or create the
niche first – and steal theirs.
Avoid
trying to be all things to all people; this carries the most
risk. The key is to “specialize.” Create a niche-and
grow rich. Specialization (a niche) in all fields of endeavor
earns the most, including the business you’re in.
5.
What’s The Easiest Way I Can find A Niche for my freelance or small business?
Listen to people’s problems, complaints, and irritations.
Complaints are signs of niche opportunities.
Does creating
unique market niches demand huge cost? No. But it does demand
focused attention to your customers spoken and unspoken needs,
problems and complaints. That cost nothing.
Get in
the habit of listening to customer problems, complaints, and
issues about your product or service. These complaints and
problems are your golden seeds of opportunity for creating
niches - if you know how to work them.
Potential
niches are everywhere; it often takes a customer complaint
to make a specific niche come alive in your mind.
Take the
time to think about the power of a niche, you’ll suddenly
find yourself creating more each day.
