In my market the only way to succeed is to find many small niches and focus on them. Most of the keywords are far to competitive and dominated by large businesses with deeps pockets for link building.

Your discussion about MINDSET is very insightful and, in my opinion, right on target. It really can make or break you! Thanks for the great article.

Well, I’ve been using this strategy since now, it’s important to pick a niche that’s small enough to dominate but big enough to allow you to find prospects in bigger niches nearby. It’s great advice very useful.

The specific niche is absolutely important as you must make sure you pick something that is not too competitive for your marketing budget to handle and also a market that is financially stable enough to put your time and efforts into.

Great twitter post by the way

I still have a hard time going out and finding new customers. That being said I slowly have gotten more guts! I know I sell a good product and it sells itself! The more I’ve tried to go out on a hunch and ask people the easier it gets every time. Wish me luck!

I agree with every word you’ve said on Twitter just because I run a small business in a very specific niche. The best things that help me be successful are “Treat your customers as your friends and they’ll come back to you again and again.” Also “Never lie or rip your customers off. They’ll never forgive it”

I am actually having trouble with my niche. I am giving my all to it, but I think the problem wasn’t that I didn’t set my goal or dominate it, I feel that my niche is too narrow. I don’t think enough people are out there in demand of my niche.

But I agree with you about the mindset of sticking to something and dominating it. Lets just hope that my next endeavor will be more successful.

This lines up totally with what I’ve come to realise about blogging too – of course I’ve known for a long time about the theory of niche blogging, but I think the niches most of us choose are too wide. To be really successful you have to be very specific.

People who are new to the internet marketing should start off by targeting smaller markets and concentrate on dominating that smaller niche market first of all… The world is constantly evolving and new niches are appearing all the time, so there’s no excuse for not finding your own profitable niche market…

I totally agree with this. I recently started targeting a more specific area of web development and have seen good results. I think people look for specialists as opposed to people that offer everything.

In the current climate, it’s getting harder and harder to find a niche. And not only just a niche, but a niche that can perform well in the current economics situation!

I found this blog by googling your Thoreau quote and it’s one of my favorites! I have it on the front desk of my real estate office here in Utah.

I’m trying this out now by diving into the open mic scene in NJ. It’s a small niche that I hope grows a little to help me out!

I’m trying to dominate by being as relevant on the internet as possible. Flickr, twitter, myspace, facebook, everything. Thanks for the reminder

Good advice Dawud enjoyed reading the post. I find it always helps to find a niche that actually interests you. It’s easy to be taken in by the potential profit then get bored out of your mind researching and writing about

Dominating a niche market is a great approach, especially considering how people find websites through SERPs. If you dominate any market, your customers will find you.

The emphasis on the mindset is an interesting point. It’s easily glazed over as something obvious and pre-determined, but many lose sight of this fundamental principle in the heat of the moment.

Starting a business requires focus, strength, and determination – once you convince yourself you can do it, the semantics are just a technicality.

It makes sense. If you are a start up, its gonna be kind of difficult to compete with the big boys.

If you chose to play a different game, where there arent that many competitors, you will be able to stand out more easily.
