Do you wonder what
it takes to develop your own book, manual, special report, course, audio
or video program and earn over $50,000 in less than 6-months?
The answer is, to
quickly capture hot selling topics from niche markets you already know
about.
Wait a minute? Why
would I intentionally limit my market to a smaller group of potential
buyers?
Aiming your infoproduct
business at niche markets has several advantages...
1. You've located
a group of eager buyers before spending any time on your product.
2. You know exactly
where to go to research your and test your ideas, concepts, products and
marketing.
3. Niche markets provide
a lifetime of fresh product ideas - all with very little effort.
4. You can reach your
buyers much easier, with less money while getting 10 times the sales and
profit from non- targeted audiences.
5. Continue to build
your infoproduct empire by adding value with additional products.
The trend toward niche
publishing is exploding. Most new publishers are small, niche focused
and highly profitable.
So how do you find
and narrow down your search for your niche market? There are 3 steps:
Identifying, understanding and qualifying niche markets.
1. Identifying
Niche Markets
A niche market is really quite simple to identify.
What you are really
looking for is a group of people who...
a) Have similar interests
and desires
b) That can be located
c) That can be easily
targeted and accessed and...
d) That are willing
to spend money on your products
In order to quickly
understand and make money from your niche, you want to make sure you identify
niches that you already have experience with, some level of understanding
or have significant contacts in.
Some examples of niche
markets include: Mega Publishing Star Dan Poynter's book on Hang-Gliding
Willie Crawford's successful Soul Food Cookbook http://www.chitterlings.com
and Damon Zahariades excellent book on writing Special Reports - The
Special Report Bible
2. Understanding
Niche Markets
99% of the
time buyers make decisions based on emotions rather than need.
They may NEED a new
car, but they WANT a BMW! They may NEED information on self-publishing,
but they WANT to see it on video from an expert in the field.
Live a day (or several
days) in your market's shoes. Read what they read. Go where they go. Monitor
what they say. Ask what they want, but more important find out WHY?
What have they purchased
in the past? What types of messages work - what entices them to take their
wallet out again and again.
That's what understanding
your niche means.
The golden key to
earning BIG profits from niche markets is understanding that market at
a level you much deeper than you may be willing to learn.
You now know the difference
between massive wealth building and struggling business
3. Qualifying Niche
Markets
OK. So you have identified a target market, you understand their
needs, wants, desires and motivation for such desires.
Next question! Will
they buy what you are offering? Will they continue to buy to satisfy their
need?
You can qualify by
asking the following questions:
1.
Do they have the means? Do they have discretionary money to buy your products?
2.
Have they bought before? You like to see a pattern of spending on products
in your area of focus.
3.
What is the emotional driver behind people buying products in your market?
Have you identified
a niche market that meets these criteria?
If not, please stop
whatever you are doing and spend some time on this.
Identify, Understand
and Qualify your niche market and you can turn peanuts into pure gold!
