What's A Niche and Can I Find One Too?
By Vickie J. Scanlon When I came upon that little word -- Niche -- I wondered, "what is this thing called a Niche -- and most importantly, can I find my own niche too? What is A Niche Well, a niche is a service or product, that fills an unmet customer's need - that is more of a specialty. You are not competing with the masses for a sale on an ebook or an affiliate tool. Instead, you carve out a small corner of the market for yourself on the Internet. Well, the definition was simple, however, finding a niche that I felt comfortable with was going to be a chore, because I wanted to avoid the affiliate programs -- and if possible find a company that privately carried their own affiliate program -- without the quota's and the 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 the 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 the 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 the affiliate plan -- and I knew that this affiliate program was for me. Here's What DentalPlan Offers 1. High conversion rate -- 1-5% percent conversion ratio from click thrus. 2. Commission -- $40 to $50. 3. Extremely high EPC. 4. Partner through DentalPlans private network -- Your affiliate manager will answer any questions you may have --- one on one assistance. 5. You can promote on-line or off-line or both. 6. Full 365-day cookie. (If you go through DentalPlans program) 7. Paid monthly. 8. They work with affiliates more closely -- will create custom creatives such as: landing pages, banners, pop-unders, emails, editable templates to fit on your website. 9. Free Web templates (standard and editable), banners, affiliate links 10. On-line tracking of stats 11. Multi-tier possibilities (Need to ask about it) This is what I or any affiliate is looking for in a program! If you would like to join, you can go to my website at "Programs to Join" or if you would like to look at one of their editable website's go to dental plans and look around. Anyway, I found my niche -- and it compliments my affiliate website. So yes, you can find your small corner of the Internet and find a niche product. But always remember -- even though this may have seemed difficult -- your chore is not over -- you must market, market and market. To you success. Vickie J.
