If you want to make money on internet then you absolutely have to look into niche marketing. If you can find your niche you will be well on your way to an internet income.

If you haven't heard word 'niche' being batted around by Internet Marketers then you haven't been listening. Finding a niche has become antidote to competing in overly saturated online markets.

What is a niche?

According to Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary a niche is described as "a place, employment, status, or activity for which a person or thing is best fitted... a specialized market".

Have you noticed that despite closing of many businesses in these sometimes harsh economic times that local hobby train store is still around? That 'hole-in-the-wall' eatery is thriving? Or that trends such as scrapbooking can start with a bang and then close within a year as four similar businesses start up in same area?

Making Money On The Internet Making money on internet reflects same trends as experienced in offline world - often with faster turnover and startup rates.. Those who promote a product or site that targets a small, select audience can tap into a market that is otherwise not being served. Despite limitations of client base, targeted nature of business creates a devoted and active market - aim of any business.

HOW DO I FIND A NICHE?

1. Singular and plural forms are lumped together. I once optimized a site for "mountain hiking" based on search traffic indicated by Overture. I later discovered that over half of that traffic was actually for "mountains hiking." Unfortunately, search engines don't lump singulars and plurals, so those searchers didn't find their way to my site.
