What’s a Niche, and How Do You Find One?

What’s a Niche, and How Do You Find One?

According to Wikipedia, a niche is “a special place within the scheme of things.” Niche marketing is defined as “the process of finding and serving small but potentially profitable market segments and designing custom-made products or services for them.” So it’s all about finding your unique place and the products and services that fit.

 

Right from the start, you should understand that your goal in discovering a niche is to concentrate all your ideas and thoughts into the most precise, concise, and focused concept possible. Your potential audience is everyone in the world with computer access and an interest in your site’s topic. Your potential information resources are everything known about that topic. So you want to be sure to have enough information to fill hundreds of pages eventually, and you want to narrow your focus enough that you can be perceived as an expert, as “THE place to go” for information, products, and services.

 

If your only interest is making money online, this is a challenging area to build a website around these days. That niche was “hot” eight years ago. Most successful internet entrepreneurs in that area say they would not attempt breaking into that niche if they were starting today. There’s just too much competition; there are way too many experts already. Breaking into a niche market using keywords like “make money at home,” “work at home,” “home business” is next to impossible. There are billions of niches out there; find yours.

Why Women In Small Business Must Have A Web Site?

 

In recent years we’ve seen a HUGE increase in the number of small businesses owned by women. This growth has been so dramatic that millions of people now think of women when they visualize who owns the companies they buy from.

 

Women everywhere deserve a big pat on the back for this fantastic accomplishment. But as is always the case for small business owners, there is still a lot of work to be done.

 

The one thing your small business MUST have is a website. Sure, ten years ago, having a site was an option many small businesses could do without. But that is no longer the case. Here’s why:

Work For Moms, At Home

 

Work For Moms, At Home

Most moms are looking to stay at home to spend more time with their family and enjoy a less stressful life. It used to be that only a tiny percentage was working from home because of the fear factor. It is much more popular now because they see their friends successful working at home and have a burning desire to do the same.

 

Recently my daughter went away on a planned moms-only weekend trip, met some work-at-home ladies, and immediately called me when she got back wanting to know what program I thought she could do. She wants to have a home-based business like many of the other ladies she met. I always encourage this arena for moms because I don’t think anyone can better raise their children than their parents. More time with her children will usually pay big dividends later on in life.

The popularity of moms looking to work from home can be easily seen by looking at just a few of the keywords searched for on the major search engines daily. They are phrases like work for stay at home moms, stay at home moms work from home, work at home for stay home moms, work at home jobs for stay at home moms, work from home jobs for stay at home moms, online work for stay at home moms, and stay home moms returning to work. These are just a few of the hundreds of searches made hourly.

Wrap Your Gardening Gifts in Love

 

Wrap Your Gardening Gifts in Love

If you’re looking for ways to make your gardening gifts unique, try wrapping them in love and show your loved one you care. You can gift wrap gardening gifts the traditional way, or you can get just a little more creative with your gift wrapping. Here are some ideas to give your gift-wrap a personal touch.

 

Garden Statues and Other Large Gardening Gift Items

 

Use creative party decorations instead of gift wrap for large gardening gifts such as full-size garden statues, birdbaths, arbors, a garden trellis, garden fountains, or patio furniture. You can tie big bows and balloons along with a card attached to decorate the gift.

 

Or, decorate the garden statue or fountain in plant or vegetable seed packs. To do this:

1. Use a hole-puncher to punch small holes in the very corner of each seed pack.

Writing Resumes without Mistakes

Writing Resumes without Mistakes

Resumes and curriculum vitae act as entry tickets to a job. Today's world is full of competition. A prospective employer is searching for a person who is active, productive, skillful, and with a positive attitude. The resume should reflect the philosophy and details of education, age, qualification, experience, etc. The summary should be written with relevance to the particular job. Gone are the days where one resume was used for all the jobs. The resume should be attractive enough to catch the employer's attention among the thousands of resumes. The summary must be free from any common mistakes.

 

Effective resume writing: 

 

An effective resume should contain primary sections viz., complete and powerful contact information, the headline of what is being offered by the employee to the employer, summary of skills highlighting relevant skills will be an added advantage, a professional experience which has to be relevant and last but not the least educational qualification- details of grades, year of passing, etc. An effective resume will be free from grammatical and spelling mistakes. Hence, it is essential to proofread more than twice to avoid any errors in the summary. This shows the command over the language.

Writing The Perfect Sales Letter

 

Writing The Perfect Sales Letter

Before you write the e-book, we are going to write the sales letter first. Now I suggest you write it in Microsoft Word and save it. Then we can transfer it to the main Sales site Page when we are designing our primary site in step 5

 

We are writing our sales copy before we ever write a word in our e-Book because it hasn't been created yet, which means there is absolutely no limit to what you can write in your sales letter. The sales letter doesn't fit the e-Book; it's the other way around.

 

Now you can describe precisely what your e-Book will show to the potential customer. There are no restrictions on what you can write in the sales letter. When the sales letter is completed, you can incorporate all the ideas you have come up with into your e-Book.
