Five Tips on Niche Research
So you want to go into niche marketing. It is the wave of the future. With niche marketing, a business owner can take the business in a new direction. Someone who is just starting out can use niche marketing to see their business take off in a big way right from the beginning. The key is in the work that is done up front.
Researching a niche is the best way to find out if your idea has not already been overdone. Ideally you want an idea that is new or a twist on an already existing idea that has not been explored to the fullest. Here are five tips to make your research pay:
1. Flesh out your idea. Write down as much information as you can. Don’t leave anything out. Get as creative as you want. The more information you have to work with, the easier it will be to find a new niche to explore. Check out here is your are looking for the types of products to market.
2. Use the Internet to help you. Search engines provide a way to find websites and businesses that exist and use the idea you want to base your business upon. You are not just looking for the top ten results, but also the total number of results that your search returned. A number in the high thousands or tens of thousands means that the search is too broad. But don’t stop there. Look up the top results to see what those sites are all about. Do they sell your product? Is it one of many or the only product? What services do they offer?
3. Employ keywords. It is time to think like a consumer. When you do a search on the Internet, what types of words do you enter in the search box to get the desired results? Make a list. For each keyword you enter, record the number of results. If the search results get lower and lower with each keyword or combination of keywords entered, you are getting closer to a market that could be tapped further.
4. Develop a niche within your existing business. Exploring a niche doesn’t have to mean looking outside of your current enterprise. Since you know all about the business that you currently run, finding a new avenue within it is the next logical step. Ask yourself: How can I offer new services or products to my clients that they can’t find anywhere else?
5. Give a survey. One way to find out what customers want to see is to ask them. A survey of customers and visitors to your website will give you an idea of what will enhance your business. This could be your newest niche.
Niche marketing can increase profits for your business. But, before you embark, don’t forget to do the research to find out the climate of the market.

Buy Similar Domain Names
Domain names need to be chosen carefully. Your business and your domain name are intertwined. It represents you and who you want to be in the market. When choosing a domain name is it a wise idea to purchase others that are similar to the one that you chose for yourself.
Let’s weigh the pros and cons of this question. Whether you should buy other domain names that are close depends on how well your name was chosen. Just like you conduct research before choosing a niche for your business, do the same before choosing a domain name.
Domain names can be triggered by keyword searches. If part of your domain name contains a keyword that is popular in search engine searches it could be a future winner. Ideally, you want your domain name to appear on the first page of a search.
A winning domain name will have others trying to get as close to it as possible without infringing. Buying those domain names yourself means that they will have to come to you for those names. You may want to use those names in the future for other websites that you will create. Having names that are similar will ensure that others can find your sites with their keyword searches.
If your domain becomes a household name, the other domains will become even more valuable to you in the future. You will have the option of selling them for a fair amount of money or holding on to them. Selling them will mean that someone else will get to ride your popularity with a name similar to yours.
One reason to buy similar domain names is for misspellings. Do you know what homophones are? They are words that sound alike but are spelled differently. If you are doing a podcast or talking about your business website to someone and tell them your domain name, it is possible that they could misspell it when they type it into the URL address space.
If someone misspells it, that person could be directed to another website. Thinking it is your site they could recommend it to someone else or buy from that site. It could end up being a costly faux pas on your part.
When you enter your own address, purposely misspell it and see what comes up. If there are no matches, then you might be safe — for now. You may want to think of all the spellings that could come up and buy those domains as well to avoid this problem in the future.
There is a lot to know about domain names besides just coming up with the names. Before you choose your name, look into all the possibilities so that you are sure that a good name that can’t be duplicated is chosen.

Business Promotional Items
We all have received at least one thing from a business. It could be a refrigerator magnet, a pen, or a key chain. These items didn’t cost us a thing but they provided a link to a service we could use in the future. Learn how promotional items help your business in the long run.
Many business owners are divided on the subject of promotional items. We typically refer to them as “freebies”. On the one hand, freebies are seen as a last-ditch effort to get a product into the hands of consumers. Maybe the product isn’t selling well so the owner decides to give it away.
Another take on the issue is that promotional items are a way to get people interested in your business. A business that is willing to offer useful promotions is friendly and honest. For your time and consideration of their proposition, they will give you something free of charge.
Promotional items are not always miscellaneous products like refrigerator magnets or pencils. The products can be related to what you are trying to sell. If you sell grills, as a free promotion for signing up for email alerts, you can give away a grill brush or a free apron. For cosmetic sales, give away a couple of trial size samples of a more expensive product with the first order.
Actually, those miscellaneous objects contain some helpful information. I always take free refrigerator magnets. I use them to hang my kids’ artwork and report cards for everyone to see. But, I do read them as well. I have advertising for realtors, doctor’s offices, informational websites, and more. There is a directory of useful sites on my refrigerator.
Pens and pencils are always used by people in the house. Anyone who uses them gets a look at the advertising. If they can use the information, then someone’s business gets extra traffic. As long as your promotional items are useful they will be kept around for future use.
When choosing a promotional item, consider something that is small but can be of use to anyone. Lately I have seen carabiners as promotional gifts. They are those big clips that you can use for holding your harness when you climb, but these are only for holding keys and other lightweight things. I got several from a sponsor of a particular event. The carabiners are useful because they can hold keys and you can hook them to a belt loop or a chain. The website address of the sponsor is printed on the side of the carabiner as a way to freely advertise. I give away the extra ones I have and the advertising falls into new hands.
As long as your freebie is useful, people won’t just chuck them in the trashcan the first chance that they get. Making wise choices about what you give away for the sake of your business will keep your business advertised prominently in someone’s home.
