What is A Niche

Well, A niche, is a service or product , that fills an unmet customer's need -- that is more of a speciality. You are not competing with masses for a sale on an ebook or an affiliate tool. Instead, you carve out a small corner of market for yourself on Internet.

Well, definition was simple, however, finding a niche that I felt comfortable with was going to be a chore, because I wanted to avoid affiliate programs -- and if possible find a company that privately carried their own affiliate program -- without quota's and many rules.

How to Find A Niche

When I started looking for a niche market, I started to make a list of my hobbies, what I liked to do, what I was interested in and what I was familiar with -- to help me brainstorm. If this little task does nothing else, it will definitely give you an eye-opener to who you are.

Anyway, when dust finally settled I realized that I wanted a niche where it would assist others -- perform a service of some sort, and would compliment my current website. Not very decisive, but I had a direction. Then it happened, just by chance, or maybe it was divine intercession -- anyway, I received a personal email from one of assistant manager's from DentalPlans -- stating that she liked my website and wondered if I would be interested in becoming an affiliate.

I looked at their website and affiliate plan -- and I knew that this affiliate program was for me.
