Niche Website
How to Create a
Profitable
Website Niche
Defining a niche website is a simple matter of narrowing down your idea
for your website topic to a specific
internet niche web site concept.

A niche is a
specialized market.
For example, say you have decided that your site topic will be
something about fish.
Well, that's quite a broad area.
To define you own very special website niche, narrow the topic
down to reflect your specific interest in aquarium fish.
Your favorite aquarium fish just happens to be goldfish so. . .
fish
> aquarium fish
> goldfish
Perhaps you have decided
that you love your IPod so much that you are interested in exploring a
website dedicated to electronics.
Well, that's quite broad too isn't it?
electronics
> media players > portable media players
> IPod
Or say you are love puppies but are specifically
interested in sharing your expertise in puppy training. You've just
narrowed down your general site concept to a very specialized niche
website.
By building a
website dedicated to a broad category like shopping, your site will
have to compete with huge entities such as Amazon.com. However, if you
identify a specialty shopping "niche" for imported gourmet cheeses your
competition will be far less.
As a matter of fact, you will enjoy the
added benefit of identifying a specialty niche that will give you an
instant and captivated audience of cheese connoisseurs!
Upon completing
your research choose the niche ideas that have the best potential and
excites you the most.
Next, research your internet niche web site topic to determine factors
like competition, feasibility and profitability to help completely
define all elements of your specialty website niche topic.
Is puppy
training too broad of a concept?
Then refine the idea further by
exploring all the potential niches for this topic. For example,
professional puppy training strategies or a behavioral approach to
puppy training.
Now you're ready to jump
into the next
phase of
planning your ebusiness.
Ask yourself as many questions as you can
think of related to your niche website topic including: Who, What, Why
and How
Don't worry. You may not know the answers to every question
right away. That's where your research comes into play.
Consider:
- Who will be your visitors?
- What is the purpose of your site?
- What will
your site offer your visitors?
- Why is your site beneficial to your
visitors?
- What type of website will you build?
- How will you prepare
your content to deliver your information?
- Are there a variety of possible opportunities for
generating income with your topic?
