If you find yourself trying to pick a niche market that is to broad - and you're lost, going around and around in circles trying to find the "right" one - that usually means there is a block in that the niche market you are going after does not resonate with you. Take a moment and go back to the source - you - and see which of the potential markets speak to you. Then, determine if that market has sales potential. The combination of your interest + the niche market's interest is what will result in a profitable business. -Lisa Hi Maryann,

I completely agree that I am spreading myself way out and not able to focus on something in particular. I am able to find niche markets but then I don't separate them as they seem to small by them self so then I kind of lump them together. I'm sure this is a big mistake but I am working doing what your post says above focus on one and worry about the rest later. My biggest problem is I feel like what I’m doing is not narrow enough.

The problem I am having is finding a niche that is not saturated. Where do you suggest people look for niches and are there any good niche hunting software packages out there. People tell me to look at things that I enjoy and make it a business. The problem is that everyone else is in those same markets. I have one successful niche website now and I am looking for others.

This is a real eye opener. You're absolutely correct about spreading yourself out too far & wide, and the problem this causes. If you don't have FOCUS in your business & you're not selling in niche markets, it will be extremely difficult to succeed. I can't wait for the rest of your series! Best regards, George Nieves Hi Lisa,

Things change so fast now, and having a niche and focus help you stay grounded in a rolling sea. Ignore the noise and keep your focus on the goal...and if it slips off, just put it back where you choose. Thanks for this series, Lisa... We all need to hear this! Absolutely!

What I'm doing know is writting and writting short articles. I'm submitting them to E-zine article directory and when I have submitted 100 articles I'll be a expert in my niche of (you got it) "walking". Is that right or are they leading me on? The articles are about give or take about 300 to 350 words. So I'm just writting and writting about anything I can think of and walking. Your guidance help me tremendously, and I want to thank you. I'm not stopping to listen to your good advise. One more thing, I'm not able to log on to your BBG site. Could you please advise me what should I do. It's been about 2 1/2 weeks.
