The Importance of being passionate about your Niche

It can be incredibly difficult for an internet marketer finding a niche that is both enjoyable and profitable at the same time.

You will probably end up competing with hundreds or thousands of other internet marketers unless your interests are very specific and fall far outside the bounds of mainstream culture. It is still possible to exploit the possiblilites and dynamics of this type of niche in your favor even though they are often oversaturated with competition made up of activists and enthusiasts and even imitators trying to cash in on the popular niche.

So which is better? Dominating popular niches or making a better living via ultra-specific niches. Poplular niches are usually much largers, but the ultra-specific ones are easier to profit from. There are several good reasons for this. To start, the amount of work and effort needed to dominate popular ultra-competitive niches is great. The time required can keep you from working on additional projects. Next, you spend your time worrying about your competitors and trying to figure out their next moves so you can stay one step ahead. This can be very frustrating and unless you can totally dominate your market, you will spend your time looking backwards as much as you do looking forward.

Give this a shot if you think you can handle it. You may end up at the top of the pile if you have the dedication and more importantly, the passion if you are finding a niche that is ultra-competitive. However, through the use of specialized and ultra-specific niches, you have an avenue to online success that can yield massive rewards, especially those who do extensive research before entering the niche. Unlike their ultra-competitive counterparts, the audience for these niches are not as wide. However, massive payouts can be found for those who are dedicated and smart enough to understand their market possibilities and dynamics.

So which do you prefer, finding a niche that is more refined ultra-niche idea or the very time consuming passion project which is very profitable. Most online empires are built with a combination of the two. Years of research and hard work in the field that the internet marketer is passionate about, along with the hard data and calculations that are validated with a large amount of research into markets along with commercial viability. This is where you want to be in the end.

Being involved in a project without knowing where you are moving and how you are getting there is a bad deal, and you won't be able to ride the market forever. The big payoff in the long run will come from the time you spend finding a niche that your project will excel in.
