Your passion is key when choosing a market for your home business.(If you missed the previous blog post where Joel Commshows you how to find your passion, then watch it here:)Once you have your passion in mind, you can start looking for a market that matches your passion too.Here's a few strategies to use when choosing a nichemarket.
1. Choose a Market Where You Have the Most
Knowledge and Expertise.
This could include areas that you have been employed in
(such as being a teacher, a lawyer, a chef, a secretary, etc.).
It could also include special experiences or interests
you've had, as well as things you've enjoyed learning
about, or you want to learn about.
2. Choose a Market That Has Some Healthy Competition.
You want to have a clear indication that your market has
bought things in the past and is currently buying as well.
If there is no competition, that could mean there is no
demand, and therefore no profit.
You shouldn't choose a market with huge competition,
but a good amount of competition is necessary to make
surethat there is enough demand in the market to make
it worthwhile.
3. Target Your Market Well.
You want to target a market that's not too big, but not
too small either.
If you are interested in the golf market, targeting all
golfers is too big.
Targeting only left-handed women golfers under 5'4"
might be too small.
Choose a medium sized market to make sure there are
enough buyers to be profitable without trying to market
to everyone.
Here is a good blog post which includes tools to help
narrow down your market choice:
Take a look at it, get a feeling for the market you want
to be in, and watch the money follow your passion.
