Find Your Home Business Niche in Forums

May 3, 2006

Still looking for a niche for your internet business? Have you made a list of your hobbies and interests? No hobbies and interest? Then make a list of things you would love to learn about. Suppose one of the topics on your list is gardening.

A quick search on Overture shows that there are 273,463 searches for gardening a month. So, how do you find your niche in gardening, and how do you find a product that folks interested in gardening might want to buy? You don’t.

First you find out what your prospective customers might need, then you look for a product that will solve their particular problem or need. One of the best ways to do this is through forums.

Forums can offer a goldmine of information. In this case, you would visit gardening forums. Monitor these forums. What type of questions do many of the visitors ask? What type of problems do they face?

Look out for the most frequently asked questions, then go out and find the solution to their problem, in the form of a product or service.

Do contribute to the forum whilst you’re doing your research, with intelligent and helpful answers. This way, you will build up trusting relationships with forum members. Then, once your product or service is launched, you will automatically be able to provide a solution to their problems, and at the same time, you’ll make a healthy profit.
