How to Get Ideas for a Niche

Product creation is extremely exciting. You get to create your own product, and people pay you for that product!

It’s truly a dream come true for an Internet marketer. You choose what to create, create it, and earn money from it.

You get stars in your eyes when you think of all the success stories you’ve heard from other infopreneurs. There are people out there who are earning millions of dollars from their info products—something to aspire to. You’ve even heard of new marketers earning hundreds or thousands of dollars from their first launch.

That’s something you want for yourself. You want to target a profitable niche, create an excellent product that will really help people, and collect the rewards.

Maybe you’ve created a product before. How did it do? Maybe you’re hanging your head low because you thought you did everything the right way, but it earned next to nothing. You feel like all that work was wasted.

Maybe this is your first time around and you’re really nervous. Is it even worth it? After all, for all the success stories there are out there, there are tons of stories from disappointed marketers who tried their hand at product creation and it didn’t go as planned.

Still, you know that many, many people have successfully created info-products and earn a full time living from doing so. Sure, massive success stories are few and far between but you know of average Joes and Jills earning full time incomes with product creation.

What’s their secret?

You Don’t Have To Work In Isolation

It’s very exciting to have your own business. You get to make decisions yourself, live life on your own terms, and determine how successful you become. We live in a great time for entrepreneurs – it’s extremely exciting, whether you’re new or experienced.

At the same time, working for yourself can be very isolating. It can be hard to stay motivated and have the right mindset when you’re relying on yourself. If you’re finding yourself procrastinating, feeling confused and overwhelmed, and feeling isolated… then the chances are good that the dream of working for yourself isn’t exactly what you thought it would be so far.

The operative phrase in that sentence was… so far.

Mens Hand Watch CloseupThe Struggle of Productivity

Productivity is a huge stumbling block for many people. It seems so simple on paper—work hard every day, get a lot done, and succeed in business.

More often than not, it just doesn’t happen that way. You wake up, start working with great intentions (“I’m REALLY going to get a lot done today!”), get distracted, get discouraged, and ‘punch out’ at the end of the day with very little to show for it.

Rinse and repeat the next day.

It’s not only discouraging; it’s costing you a huge amount of money. Every day that you work at less than optimal levels is a day you’re tossing money out the window.

Don’t feel bad, it’s really hard to work optimally, though. And you’re certainly not alone. Productivity is a huge struggle. It’s especially true in today’s times.

It’s All About Email…

As an online marketer, you’re probably aware that email marketing is extremely important. If you don’t have an email list, you’re going to be left behind.

But just having an email list isn’t enough. You can build one by giving away something awesome, but how do you convince them to open your emails in the future, which is what you wanted to happen when you asked them to sign up.

So now, you’re ready to learn what it takes to nurture that list to improve your open rates. It’s frustrating to send an email out, only to find that next to no one opens it. What’s the point of that?

One of two things tends to consistently happen to email marketers. There are those marketers who just don’t know how to reach their audience. They’ll send an email only to be met with dismal results— their open rates are terrible.

There are other marketers who seem to have the golden touch when it comes to email marketing. People salivate when one of their emails comes into their inbox. Their open rates, click through rates, and conversion rates are out of this world. That’s the position you want to find yourself in.

So, how do you get more people to open your email? It’s not as tricky as it sounds, actually. When you really get to the heart of it, it’s all about understanding people and developing relationships.

The Web Is Social

There are many different ways to drive traffic to your business online. The choices might be overwhelming – what should you do first? What should you focus most of your time and attention on?

There’s no easy answer to that question because every niche and business is different, but it’s a safe bet that social media should be a huge part of your overall strategy to generate traffic.

The web is social. Social media is where people learn the latest news, keep up with people, products, services, businesses, and more. It’s generally expected these days that a business should be found on social media. It’s where customers are now trained to connect with businesses they care about.

That’s good news for you, too. Social media is a wonderful way for you to get to know your customers. You can use social media for niche research, to understand your audience more fully, to develop strategies that will be a hit with your audience, and to become known in your niche.
