How a Niche Marketing Strategy Can Make Your Home Based Business Tons of Money

You have to have a niche marketing strategy if you want search engine optimisation to work for you. Too often business operators try to target everyone (or at least a major market e.g. home based business) instead of looking for the niche market within the big market.
 
Trying to sell to everyone is a big mistake, and one which a lot of home based business operators make. It is wrong because there will be too much competition. Develop a niche marketing strategy and you can differentiate yourself and make both yourself and what you offer unique. If you are unique you can set higher prices and essentially eradicate your competition.

Discover a niche market that is already
proven to be making money for
your home based business

Let’s take the sample given above of home based business (search volume of one million). This is an enormous market as 67% of all small business in Australia is run from a home base. However, it can be broken up into a number of niche markets (with a search volume of under 20,000) which make up your niche marketing strategy:-

1. Work from home mums (2,900 search volume)
2. Starting home based business (14,800 search volume)
3. Make money working from home (9,900 search volume)

Take another market – the dog training market. This is also a huge market with over 2 million searches on this keyword every month. Your niche marketing strategy could possibly include such niche markets as:-

1. Clicker dog training (12,000-18,000 search volume)
2. Alpha dog training (2,900 search volume)
3. How to train your puppy (8,100 search volume)

Why a niche marketing strategy can make you more money

1. You become recognised as an expert in the niche as your products are providing solutions to this smaller market.
2. Because your products offer solutions specific to the needs of a particular market you can charge more.
3. You are likely to receive more referrals
4. There is less competition as ‘bigger’ businesses will not even try to provide solutions for your niche market…they can afford to concentrate on the ‘bigger picture’.
5. You can use cost effective (mostly free) online promotion e.g. blogs, forums. social media etc to advertise your product.

It is often difficult for us to think of a niche marketing strategy when we set up our home based business because we are so product focussed. However, it is essential to ensure that you market yourself to a specific group of potential clients where a larger portion is likely to purchase your product. Do this and you will cut down on the competition; you may even eradicate it and the niche market is yours!
