Very insightful. We have adopted this strategy when starting web hosting and it has really paid off (providing hosting for the Chinese market, where we are based). We could have tried to go ahead the Godaddy and 1and1 and be nowhere by now…

The simple fact of the matter is that prospects/customers appreciate expertise – very specific expertise. Trust is the name of the game. You garner trust by understanding the needs of the customer, you need to become the trusted adviser.

So true, Specialize in what is in your brain, take that to your market. Knowledge sells on the Internet. People are hungry for super content. When you get down to that, your competition at Google is a lot less. David

I am always thinking about what hole in the market there might be. Because if you can fill that one hole that it is much easier to pursue niche domination. Otherwise, I find it pretty difficult to have domination when there are already so many more successful blogs in that niche.

I think one of the best advantages to finding your niche is how much easier it makes search engine optimisation (SEO). If you can identify a specific need in the marketplace, and you know there are people searching for a term related to it in the search engines (using Google’s AdWords etc), then you’ve got yourself a clear marketing channel ahead of you.
