Maybe I stepped over the line. Is this a trial and error thing? If so, man I am sooo much up for the
challenge, if you’ll tell me all about it.

PS Did you hear/read my previous question?
What about the order of the words? Some of them seem weird… not normal sounding. You can’t possibly tell me people ask questions “”how can i get rid of my pimples?”

what if they said

”pimples be gone”

or… ‘ i don’t like my pimples”

”please make my pimples go away”

”my life will be so much better if you
just make them go away”

My life would be so much better if You just
let them grow an their own. (not pimples, i’m talking about hydroponically grown food

Hi Mike

Thanks for your posts, they are incredibly helpful.

Just a thought as I was reading your explanation of niches – would it not be better to list the niche first rather than the market? When you explained “speed reading” you mentioned reading is a niche. If I think of the action, ‘reading’, it is easier to think of the market ‘people who need time’ and therefore the sub niche ’speed reading’.

What do you think? Would this be an effective way to discover sub niches?

I want to ask a question about the results on WT.

When a result comes back that doesn’t really make sense, like the words are jumbled in bad English, is that the actual order people are putting in to search? Or do we need to put it the correct way, then have it be our niche phrase?

Thanks,

Thanks Mike, I just made another comment on a post on your blog about needing some steps like these. Then you directed me here.

You had it all along! How did I miss this post? This is excellent. Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks

This post goes to 11.

Really. What I have been most confused and lost with is the lack of understanding how “niche” and “market” came together. Now Ed makes even more sense!

Thanks!

Mike
Thanks for partially clarifying the niches thing, but I must correct you on one point of detail, you said that Underwater Kick Boxing was a sub niche, I would say it was more of a SUBmersible niche !!

This was exactly what I needed to read. Very clarifying.

I was also thinking (and I also have a life! LOL): but is my market too big? is my niche a real niche or too big? etc. This article will help me wrangle it in! Shimmey it down! Whittle it down..whatever.

Thanks so much for your teamwork sharing!

Thanks for the clarification Mike. This one really removed any confusion that I had with the “What is a niche” question.

What an awesome post! Your explanation and example were perfect.

Identify a group of people who have something in common, determine their needs and fulfill that need!

I am attempting to take people through the thought process behind each day’s assignments on my blog. I just wish I could be as eloquent as you.

Keep up the great work!
Mike
