Most avid domainers will turn your way at any mention of “niche marketing” because it has many opportunities in marketing and sales. For those who don’t know, a niche is a specialized category, or a category within a category. An example of one niche that I have recently found is “Kids Indoor Soccer Shoes” (KidsIndoorSoccerShoes.com). This is much more specific than soccer shoes, and even more so than “indoor soccer shoes.” This niche is the source of many advantages.

Niche Need-to-Knows

Using a niche to your benefit can be done in a couple ways. First, the high level of specialization creates high conversion rates. When a person is searching for a specific niche they aren’t generally browsing and if they do - make sure you know that and offer them a selection. For example, when someone opens up their browser and types “kids indoor soccer shoes” into Google - they already know what they want and take much less convincing for a quick sale.

Another major benefit to marketing a niche is the money you can save. By narrowing the target audience for your niche your can effectively market to them. When there isn’t a large presence of competition in your niche your advertising costs can be extremely low while having a large effect and wider exposure. This is especially true with Google AdWords or other CPC programs.

The majority of niche marketing sites generate revenue through the use of affiliate programs, which are constructed by companies that extend commissions to an external sales force. By promoting and selling a companys’ products through their affiliate program, you can generate revenue based off either clicks or commission on sales.

The Bottom Line - Know Your Niche

The bottom line is that it is important to know your niche as it will allow you to understand and connect with the target audience. Look for psychological hot-buttons that accompany your niche and clearly state the benefits of your products to your customers.

Now its time to put it all together.

In order to successfully take advantage of your new found niche through marketing its important to understand the niche or products and especially important to know your target market. By taking advantage of the low advertising costs and high conversion rates, you can find yourself earning money before you ever thought possible.

To expand your grasp on the niche you can find prestigious affiliate programs, do some minor copywriting and engage in search engine optimization. Before you know it you’ll have organic traffic (traffic that didn’t come through paid ads) and you’ll increase your profit margins.

When you’re done reading this I want you to act on that little idea ticking in your head. Go out, find that niche and make some money - it is easier than you think if you’re prepared to put in some work. Good luck with your business, and if you need a hand feel free to email me.
