Stuck for Good Ideas for Niches? Here Are Some Idea Boosters!
Everyone, absolutely everyone, has a special interest..
. a passion. Everyone knows something that is of value to others. Something that others on the Net seek.
Passion makes work fun and easy. What is it that you love to talk about? Read about? A hobby? What do you do for fun and games ? What are your natural talents? Write these down.
Don't forget to look right under your nose.
What special body of knowledge have you learned from your job? What do you do day after day, without even thinking about it (ex., child-rearing, taking care of sick parents, renovation contractor, customs inspector).
Could any of these activities, areas where you have developed knowledge (without even thinking about it), be of value to others? Yes?...
Great! Write these down.
Think about what you do in a typical day, and what you've learned from it. What sections of a book store or a magazine shop do you automatically gravitate toward ? What kind of TV shows do you tend to like most? Movies?
Write these down, too.
What activities do you enjoy most about your current occupation? Is it research? Helping customers achieve their goals ? Managing other people ? Teaching or explaining things to others? Talking/selling on the phone? Organizing things? Making a process easier? Discovering or creating new products or services? Marketing products?
Yes, you guessed it! Write these down.
Problems are also a good source for ideas because problems need solutions! What bugs you? What's tedious? What does not work?...
We all encounter obstacles, problems, nasty people in the course of whatever it is that we do every day. What are the three biggest problems in your work place ? What are your biggest pains as a parent, or as a step-parent, or as a gardener (etc., etc.)?
Do you have solutions to these problems? Would they be of value to a lot of people ?
Yes? Yippee! Write these down!
Now let's make sure that you haven't overlooked "ancient history"...
Repeat all the questions above, except pretend that you are in a "five years ago" time warp. Yes, ask yourself the same questions, except place yourself where you were five years ago. Next, repeat for 10 years ago. To paraphrase an old saying... "You've forgotten more about some things than other folks will ever know."
Call friends. Ask your kids. Phone your parents or your siblings and anyone else who can jog your memory. It's so easy to miss what others see.
