Do You Have A Niche Strategy?

Niche strategy as the word suggests is an action plan to tap into the niches you specialize in. You could set up a niche store or your niche marketing strategy could be based on other things. What are the determinant factors? Let's find out...

Before we get into what is niche strategy, to recap, a niche is an expertise area that you have. And a niche market is an audience set that you know extremely well who need your niche knowledge or products. You do have some means to monetize your niche, which means you know how your audience can be reached and what they will buy. That done, it's time for niche strategy.

What niche strategy is about is the why and how of your niche generating money for you. Which automatically prompts me to divide this article into two parts. The why and the how.

Why your audience / market will buy from you is two-fold. One, you know your niche extremely well... you are the authority, or have access to authorities. And two, because you know what they need and how it pains them to not have the stuff you can give them. Now your niche strategy is simply to align with their 'why' and present the solution to them. No hardsell. No pitch.

How you execute this niche strategy is what is the finesse part of the work. I recommend doing it online. The internet allows you to reach out to your exact audiences by searching them out on social media platforms like Facebook and in web 2.0 properties like blogs and forums among others. The internet allow allows you to develop a showcase of your expertise by way of a website that you can even advertise.

Now the important thing is to not get caught up with the technicalities of creating sites and driving people to them. The important thing about niche marketing strategy is to fine tune the site and messages to align with audience needs. Once that is done well, the audience itself will take your site viral. Provided it delivers the goods.

One method is to create a niche store. This is a site that has a few (6 to 10) pages that carry products related to your niche. You can find these products with various vendors like ClickBank, Amazon, Commission Junction etc. Now your niche store will be the centre of your niche strategy and multiple streams of income will flow to you through a single visit of a prospect looking at bettering himself in your niche.
