The Five P’s Of Niche Selection And Profitability. Part 2

The Five P’s Of Niche Selection And Profitability, part 1 can be found here .

Practicality in niche selection

Another of the P’s is practicality. You may want to create the world’s best SEO site, but you don’t know anything about SEO. Well, all I can say is you are too old to believe in fairies! I am not saying don’t dream big, if that is your aim, but put it on the back burner.

Get two sites up and running and earning a $100 a day each and then outsource your dream.

However, for the moment let’s get back to the real world. You need to be able to have the interest to research what you need to know. It does not mean that you have to be an authority to start, just enough interest to be able to know where to get the information you need.

If you are not sure, then go here to find out how to become an authority The video is about half an hour, but it is the only research resource you will ever need.

So you need practicality, because if it is not achievable, then you are setting yourself up for failure before you start. If you cannot isolate and engage your target audience, you will never make a sale

Pain

The pain in terms of niche selection should not be yours it should be the pain of others. Search through your niches forums, blogs, amazon reviews for information related to your ideal customer.

You’re looking for the lingo they use, common problems, questions, any products/websites they’ve used for help, what their current and long-term problems are.

Find out what their “why” is.

Once you know the problems of your target market you can build a profile of your perfect customer.

This allows you to talk to your customer in a more conversational way. Because you understand their pain and frustrations, they will trust you more and spend money. When you can push their buttons or empathize with them on an emotional level then you’ve made selling to them infinitely easier.

Here you will simply jot down all the pain points, wants, needs, desires, fears,etc… that you found out about your ideal customer while doing your detective work in the previous step.

So as an example if you were in the affiliate marketing niche it could look

something like this:

Tired of working for someone else *

Wants to travel *

Want to stop commuting to work*

Wants to spoil their family *

Want fiscal freedom *

Is afraid of being stuck at a dead-end job for the rest of their life *

Struggling with information overload *

Isn’t sure if this stuff really works *

Afraid of being scammed *

etc.

Dig Deep

Use this profile to reflect your understanding of someone’s problems because people almost never buy because they need something, they buy because they want something, or at least think that they do.

Tap into this pain and you have succeeded.

The power of PLR

The final P is are there PLR products in your niche. No, I am not suggesting you use them per se but they are an indication of how profitable and viable the niche is.

PLR means Private Label Rights. If you purchase an original article it may cost you upwards of $20 to pay for one that earns you money. PLR when someone like me writes fifty articles on say peanut allergy and then sells that to a hundred people for less than $10.

There are a lot of people out there who find writing or communication very difficult. PLR is a fantastic way to get together an ebook you can re-brand as a video or other content. Used intelligently it is a fantastic resource or research tool .

If there are already people writing PLR in your niche, then it is a popular niche. However, if they are not then you can write your own PLR and create your own product.
