Howie Schwartz's IMRemarkable Challenge starts with a free video about how to select a profitable niche. With it he gives away an incredible free eBook in which he not only demonstrates how he finds the hot topics and keywords for which people are searching, but also shares 36 great niches now. Beach weddings were among them.
Having recently had a bad accident which crushed my elbow, severely damaged ligaments from my hand and wrist to shoulder, and shocked my whole body with severe blows, concussion and more (hey, when your head even bounces off the floor three times from the impact...). Well, I was not in a position to produce anything!
But then, Howie Schwartz is the best ever. So I didn't want to miss out on the planning and learning during moments of relative strength. So as possible and "moments" permit, I've followed what was transpiring, done my own research, and sought to learn from others. (I am especially impresses with our contributor at http://mybeachweddinginvitations.com.)
With typing very hard, my eliptical notes were handwritten and sketchy, but here are some bullet points of the early stages. Just realize that this will be an on-going process, with real production to follow over time... And along the way, please forgive typos, as one-handed pecking is quite new!
Beach Weddings Rose Above What?
Howie's 36 niches are intriguing. Among them are some that fit corporate focuses where I will be helping people. Some I hadn't considered before, but Id love to enter. Then several are niches in which I am already involved to some extent.
So the decision factors? There is no right or wrong answer. Each has its place. But what made me select "beach wedding planning" or "planning a beach wedding?"
- For success, we must focus in seriously on one niche at a time (unless you have significant back-up staff or outsourcers). So will I divert all current energies to the next "shiny object" that piques my fancy? Or will I go deeper into another keyword set of a market where I am already building a presence? I chose the latter. I am involved with beach weddings, especially beach wedding dresses, beach wedding ideas.
- Is this going to be a "quick hit" to make a splash then move on? Or is this exercise intended not only for learning, but to add to the foundation of something sustainable? I chose the latter. Beach weddings are with us - and growing with popularity given the economic climate and their lower cost for higher impact and enjoyment.
- Is this all about a commercial enterprise? Or is this to be truly real for me, a "profitable passion" upon which I can build over time, while bringing ever more value to the marketplace? I chose the joy of working in my passion - weddings, and in particular, beach weddings. (Now just wait until I am physivally able to produce all that's in my head!)
