TattCafe.com, a niche market dating website for tattooed singles 18-29 years available in 15+ countries communicating in 10 available languages.
Vancouver, BC ( PRWEB ) February 19, 2012
A majority of online dating sites require a profile photo of a smiling face but TattCafe.com feels that body parts featuring tattoo artistry are just as important to describe members accurately. So even the shyest of members can feel comfortable giving a glimpse into their personalities without fully ‘exposing’ themselves.
TattCafe.com not only encourages its members to email, sms, video chat, speak to each other using an anonymous calling feature but create/attend social events, such as tattoo conventions posted in their Groups and Events areas.
“Membership has been growing steadily over the past few weeks with singles in Canada, the US, Ireland and Israel being the most interested in meeting others who are devoted to the lifestyle associated with body art and culture,” says Helen Siwak , president of TattCafe.com . “Statistically our members have a fondness for their pets, music, travel, and life choices such as being vegetarian, volunteerism, activism and alternative spirituality.”
This lifestyle dating portal also has a companion blog: that will be accepting content from all TattCafe.com members and community members.
TattCafe.com is positioning itself to be the lifestyle portal for the tattooed and those who love them. People, events, forums, and charity fundraising all feature prominently in the future of this niche market dating site.

Phil Smith, BHA Handicapper
“I was really impressed with Synchronised and Quel Esprit but when you analyse what they beat you’ve got to ask a few questions so I haven’t gone overboard in putting them highly up the ratings. It’s very important those horses at the top of the handicap have an equal chance as those on 10 stone. I think on the overall balance of his form Synchronised is a better horse than Ballabriggs.”
Jonjo O’Neill (Synchronised 11st 10lb, Arbor Supreme 10st 7lb, Sunnyhillboy 10st 5lbs)
“If it was a normal handicap he’s (Synchronised) not too badly in really, he’s given a bit of a chance. He stays really well and we now know he goes on better ground. We’ll definitely look at the Gold Cup first and see then. I can see him running a very big race. Arbor Supreme I don’t know a lot about but we hope for the best. Sunnyhillboy’s a decent little horse and he’s an attractive weight.”
Alan King (West End Rocker 10st 12lb, Hold On Julio 10st 7lb)
“No real surprise there so pretty much as expected. Whether Hold On Julio runs it’s not been decided but West End Rocker’s season has been geared towards this race since he won the Becher. I’d be very happy with good-to-soft, he wouldn’t want fast ground. Wayne (Hutchinson) will keep the ride, he’s four from five. West End Rocker will go for the Grimthorpe Chase at Doncaster on March 3 before Aintree. A decision on Hold On Julio will be made after his next run.”
Paul Nicholls (Neptune Collonges 11st 6lb, Niche Market 10st 4lb)
“Both have got weights I half expected. Neptune is too consistent for his own good and he would seem to have plenty to me, but he did run well in a Scottish National with a big weight so he is used to it. Niche Market will get in and would appear to have a lovely weight.”
David Pipe (Junior 11st 2lbs, Massini’s Maguire 10st 11lbs, Swing Bill 10st 3lbs, The Package 10st 2lbs)
“We are right where we thought we would be – Junior has enough weight with 11-2 but the handicapper always compresses the weights to encourage the best possible field. That means that all of our entries are badly off with several of the topweights but that is not a new scenario and the handicapper faces a very difficult task in trying to make the race as competitive as possible without alienating those further down the handicap. Massini’s Maguire has been a very high class horse throughout his entire career and a weight of 10-11 looks reasonable enough, while Swing Bill (10-3) and The Package (10-2) look to have nice racing weights, although they will need plenty above them to come out to get a run.”
Donald McCain (Ballabriggs 11st9lbs, Wymott10st 2lbs, Weird Al 11st8lbs)
“Although Ballabriggs has been given a big weight (11-9), I am not surprised and I certainly haven’t got a problem with it. He’s won the race before, he’s a big strong horse who can carry the weight and I am hoping to give him a racecourse gallop at Haydock at the weekend and then it’s hopefully on to Kelso in early March for his reappearance. Weird Al has been given a fair weight (11-8) but, to be honest, I am not thinking any further than the Cheltenham Gold Cup with him. Wymott (10-2) would have a nice racing weight if he was able to get in but I would think it was unlikely that he would get a run.”
Gordon Elliott (Chicago Grey 10st 13lb, Tharawaat 10st 4lb, Backstage 10st 1lb)
“Chicago Grey’s got 10-13, which looks a great weight. I said if he got anything under 11 stone I’d be delighted, so I’m certainly not complaining. It’s been the plan for him for a long time and his prep is coming along well. Tharawaat got 10-4, which is a weight he could get in off, but I wouldn’t want to run him on fast ground. Backstage’s been given 10-1 and he’ll probably struggle to get into the race off that weight.”
Henrietta Knight (Calgary Bay 11st 6lb)
“I’d like to run him. The horse is very well and the weight is okay as he’s a big, big horse. He didn’t get any further than fence four last year but that’s not because he disregarded the fence he just jumped it too well. I’d be happy to run him on that weight. My inclination would be to go straight to Aintree with a fresh horse.”
Neil Mulholland (Midnight Chase 11st 8lb)
“He probably is a good type for the National. It would be nice to have a lighter weight but he’s got it for a reason. Aintree is Plan B – Cheltenham is Plan A so we’ll go for the Gold Cup and see what happens there first.”
Evan Williams (Deep Purple 11st 3lb, State Of Play 10st 3lb)
“I don’t think we can complain on some of his (Deep Purple’s) form. He’s entered in the trial at Haydock, at Ascot and in the Racing Plus Chase and he’ll run in one of those before the National. He’s being trained for the Grand National. We’ve either done things very right or very wrong with State Of Play. Perhaps we should’ve won a Grand National with him or we’ve done well to be placed in three. Experience counts for a lot.”
Tim Vaughan (Tartak 11st 2lb, Stewarts House 10st 5lb, Postmaster 10st 2lb, Our Island 9st 7lb)
“Stewarts House won over the National fences in the Grand Sefton and he loves the track. We’ll take stock with Tartak and see how he gets on at Cheltenham. Stewarts House is definitely an intended runner and he has his prep run in the Byrne Group Plate at Cheltenham – I say a prep, I’d love to win that too!”
Dessie Hughes (Roberto Goldback 11st 4lb, Black Apalachi 11st 3lb, Rare Bob 10st 9lb, In Compliance 10st, Vic Venturi 10st)
“Roberto Goldback is probably entitled to have that sort of weight on his level of form, but I think Black Apalachi’s weight is a disgrace. He hasn’t run in almost two years, he’s a 13-year-old now and they haven’t dropped him a pound. He’s been round Aintree four times and has been unlucky a couple of times, but he can’t be as good a horse as he was two years ago. The owners will be very disappointed and we’ll have to have a think about whether we run him now. Rare Bob will probably run, along with Roberto Goldback. The other two are going to struggle to get in.”
Tony Martin (Psycho 11st, Northern Alliance 10st, Saddlers Storm 9st 5lb)
“They would all be intended runners if they get in, but I’ll we’ll just have to see where we are nearer the day. Psycho would be running off a mark of 153. He’s rated 148 in Ireland, so it’s not all that different and a few pounds isn’t going to make a lot of difference in a National.”
Tom Taaffe (Treacle 10st 8lb)
“Treacle has come out of the Hennessy well and the Grand National is absolutely the plan. He has gone up a stone in Ireland due to that run and otherwise he wouldn’t have got into the National and that’s why he ran at Leopardstown. He actually needed to run a good race and thank God, he’s run his best race ever. He was bought as a three-year-old for the owner Mr Nielsen with the intention to being a National horse some day but we didn’t think that it would take eight years! He jumps and stays which is what you’ve got to do to have a chance in the National. At this stage we’re just trying to get there but it’s still a lottery and you’ve got to look out for fallers and be lucky enough not to fall yourself. Everything has to fall into place and he’ll go straight there now.”
Henry Daly (Pearlysteps 10st 6lb)
“He should get in at least. It’s an entry we’ve made but at this stage it’s too early to say whether he’s a definite runner or not. He’s not certain to run, it’s just an entry at this stage but the race is in our mind.”
Stuart Crawford (Killyglen 10st 4lb)
“Off that weight you’d be fairly hopeful he’d get in the race, and that is the main thing. The horse is in good form and he’ll probably have a run somewhere during the first weekend in March. He could go the same route as last year and run in the Grimthorpe Chase at Doncaster, or he could go to the Premier Chase at Kelso or a handicap chase in Leopardstown. Doncaster would probably be the favourite option at this stage, but it would be ground dependant. He nearly made it round Aintree in the Grand National last year and he’s a good jumper. With that bit more experience under his belt, I’d be hopeful he would get round this time and run a big race.”
Noel Glynn (Becauseicouldntsee 10st 3lb)
“He’s going to have a run over hurdles tomorrow just to get his confidence back. He had a heavy fall in the National last year and in the Paddy Power. He had 10st 8lb in the National last year so he’s a few pounds lower but that means he’s not certain to get in. The National is his target and he’ll run in the Kim Muir at at Cheltenham first. It’s a nice weight.”
John Hanlon (Alfa Beat 11st 5lb)
“I’m very happy with his weight but I wanted 11st! He was unlucky at Leopardstown the last day when he just clipped heels and went down on the flat. He’s in great form at the moment and he’ll have a run in Down Royal in about three weeks. Barry Geraghty was very happy with him the last day until he was brought down and I’m hoping he’ll ride but obviously it depends on what his boss (Nicky Henderson) runs. Good ground is vital to him and he should get it over there. The National has been his aim all year.”
John Wade (Always Right 10st 10lb):
“It looks a nice racing weight and at least he’s guaranteed to get a run. I suppose he is quite hard to assess as he didn’t run well at Wetherby last time for some reason and we don’t really know why. He seems in good form at the moment and the plan is for him to run in the Grand National Trial at Haydock on Saturday, so hopefully he can bounce back there.”
Malcolm Jefferson (According To Pete 10st 12lb)
“He’ll have one run somewhere before the National and he’ll only run there if I’m happy with his weight. Nobody knows if the horse will stay but you don’t train them any different.”
Arthur Moore (Organisedconfusion 10st 8lbs)
“Very happy with that it’s a nice racing weight. Hopefully we’ll get a run. We hope to run at Leopardstown on Sunday fortnight or the following week at Naas and if all goes well we’ll head on to Aintree.”
Venetia Williams (Mon Mome 10st 8lb)
“A pound or two of weight matters less than getting them there in good form. He seems in good order and runs at Haydock on Saturday.”
Lawney Hill (Minella Theatre 9st)
“He’s not qualified yet so hopefully he will run at Sandown on Friday but it’s very exciting to have our first entry.”
Willie Mullins (Quel Esprit 11st 7lb, Blazing Tempo 11st 4lb, Scotsirish 11st 2lb, Apr Approach 11st 1lb, Shakervilz 10st 2lb, Uncle Junior 10st 5lb, On His Own 10st 11lb, Prince De Beauchene 10st 6lb, Cooldine 10st 7lb, The Midnight Club 10st 8lb, Quiscover Fontaine 10st 4lb, Some Target 9st 10lb)
“The plan is for Quel Esprit to go for the Gold Cup. He’s really got it right this year and I wouldn’t have any problem with him going to Aintree. Blazing Tempo is a good jumper and will go to Cheltenham first so I’m not sure about her. Scotsirish runs in the cross country at Cheltenham. The trip at Aintree would be a worry but he loves the fences and the ground so will run. Apt Approach runs this weekend over two and a half miles and will go to Cheltenham so we’ll see how he is. Some Target goes to Haydock at the weekend and probably won’t get in. We’ve been very disappointed with The Midnight Club but I’d like to get him back to Aintree if I can. If Shakervilz got in, he’d have a chance, while Quiscover Fontaine has a lovely weight and will love the trip. Uncle Junior goes to the cross country at Cheltenham and will love the trip in the National if I can persuade someone to ride him. On His Own definitely goes there, while Prince De Beauchene has a lovely weight and would have a chance. We’ll have to see about Cooldine.”
Nicky Henderson (Shakalakaboomboom 10st 12lb, Burton Port 11st 7lb, Quantitativeeasing 11st 2lb)
“Shakalakaboomboom is definitely an intended runner. He has done everything right and I think he has the right sort of profile as he stays and jumps. He has to have good ground. Burton Port will probably run at Newbury on Friday against Long Run, otherwise he’ll go to Ascot at the weekend before the Gold Cup. He has quite a lot of weight but Trevor Hemmings said he has earned the right for an entry. Quantitativeeasing has to qualify for the race and we’re going to have to run him at the Festival, then he has the option.”
Nigel Twiston-Davies (Little Josh 11st 1lb, Crescent Island 10st 9lb, Viking Blond 10st, Hello Bud 10st)
“Little Josh isn’t qualified so he’s unlikely. He’ll either run against Long Run at Newbury or maybe at Ascot. Hello Bud is the one we’re really hoping for and he’s in great form, as are the other two.”
Philip Hobbs (Planet Of Sound 11st 5lb, Fair Along 10st 4lb)
“Planet Of Sound will probably run in the Racing Plus Chase and we’ve been thinking of the National all season. With Fair Along it might be one task too many so we’ll see how he does in his next run.

im looking for something that’s not crazy to do or sell and will not be hard to maintain if inventory is an option. there’s so many product on the web that’s easy to buy and sell its hard to just pick one.
I think you’ve just put the cart before the horse. You mean you purchased a website and now you need to find things to sell on it? I’m curious about the website you bought. I’d try to get my money back, find a product or service to sell, then create a website to sell it on.

Discover the ‘Secret Formula’ to Getting First Page Search Engine Rankings the EASY Way…ATTENTION: If you have ever struggled with making money on the Web or are new to internet marketing you need to read this entire page.. Many new internet marketers fail because they try different techniques and when they don’t see results they just give up.I was just about to the point of quitting myself I had bought about every internet marketing e-book known to man I was spending money on PPC advertising and not seeing any returns I was working late nights with the ‘hope’ of making money like all of the other success stories I kept seeing.
Frustration…Why was I not making any money?
What is the main reason internet marketers fail?
Here’s a hint.. YOU ARE DOING YOUR RESEARCH THE WRONG WAY!Everything I had been taught was dead wrong I was working on projects that never even had a chance of being successful My personal revelation came when I was starting to build a Web site and doing keyword and domain research.
I started noticing some trends for that subject and then decided to look at another topic to see if some of the same trends were showing up with the search engines And then another…and the more I looked the clearer things became…Sure Enough…A Complete Breakthrough!
I was starting to see a pattern of what the search engines were using to rank these sites The same things over and over again were proving my discovery
I have a website,I m trying to rank high and gain traffic. Google Adword lets u find keywords or phrase from my website.Should I put those keywords and phrase in my article or should I use the keywords from my Target audience that are typing in this keywords on google in to my Article
You can use your targeted keywords an article writing it would be better for your web site traffic into on niche web market and you can pick some good keywords from major search engines, which is related to your business. An article you need to fallow some rules and regulation * Title should be in 50 ” 60 Characters in this title you can use target keywords as well.* Summary: (2-3 sentences or 200-300 Characters)* Article Body: 400 – 500 Words, here insert you need to maintain 2-3% keywords density* Give one or two links the help of keyword.Good Luck,Naidu P.
You should use Keywords from your website when writing an articles.
It will help to index your website pages and helps in increasing your website Page Rank.
You can give links of your website at your keywords.
If your blog is monitized, you want to have laser targeted traffic come to your site. If I was looking to find information, and that information is located on your website, which words would I type in, so that I would find your webpage. Try not to use the broad terms such as “dating” use longer terms such as “how will I find a date tonight” or more niche specific terms. Hopfully, on your site you have a manual on how can I find a date tonight, that you can sell me. See? It’s not just any traffic, people buy because they are specifically looking for what it is you are selling. so where are those people located. Never mind about what google adwords is looking for. They will find your page just fine.
You should use keywords from your web site, if you want that at user’s inquiry search system give your web site. And your web site will be relevant to user’s inquiry.
You should use keywords from your website and you can probably try submitting articles through various article submission sites for marketing purpose. Magic Article Rewriter may also come in handy for these task.

Removals specialist Richard Hill tells Rebecca Kincade how his company survived the recession and picked up a top award
When you own a company, one of the most beneficial things you can do is develop a niche. By targeting a certain area of your sector, marketing to those potential customers and letting your results speak for themselves, you can make sure that your company stands out from your competitors. This is exactly what Belfast-based Delivery Services have managed to do, by taking their experience in removals and directing it towards the specialised area of relocations in libraries and education facilities.
Richard Hill, managing director of Delivery Services, took on what was an existing company in 2002, believing that his background in project management, contracting and logistics would help him to make a success of his business.
“Since I took on the company, we have noticed the commercial moving services aspect of the business has grown significantly, particularly the specialist area of library relocation. The downturn in the construction sector, particularly in NI, combined with the downturn in the local economy has led to stagnant property development. However, we have managed to develop and export our services in the education sector to keep us afloat throughout the recession.”
Based on its previous experience of working with a premier library mover in America, Delivery Services has created a package for this specialist process, which involves intense preparation, expert training and bespoke equipment.
“Our first major book move was probably the largest relocation project of its kind in Northern Ireland to date. The move of 1.2 million volumes from four campus locations to the new, ‘state of the art’ McClay Library was planned and executed in 2009. This was the culmination of a meticulous 12-month planning period and our innovative moving technology allowed us to deliver this challenging project ahead of schedule.”
Delivery Services was recently recognised for quality in this area by the British Association of Removers (BAR), when it was named the Commercial Mover of the Year 2011. The award, which is highly respected due to its tough judging techniques, saw the entrants faced with a judging panel consisting of a member of the BAR board of directors, two representatives from the Facilities Management Industry and a representative from the Quality Services Standards Ltd.
Other finalists for the award included large, well-known UK- based companies such as Pickfords and Reloc8 and, as a relatively small company based in Belfast, Delivery Services were shown to punch above their weight.
Mr Hill commented on the significance of this award: “The Delivery Services team is truly delighted to have achieved national recognition for our service and it is all the more satisfying when it is through such a rigorously judged competition which is based on customer testimonial and audit of quality assurance.”
With a library relocation project beginning soon at Napier University in Edinburgh, this company is making sure that its niche area is working to its advantage, and that the benefits of this service are being felt across the UK.
the problem is, all the templates are really expensive or dont really match the theme at all. Is there a better way to do this, or an area with just basic templates for free and I can add graphics? Any advice would be appreciated.
If you feel that templates are really expensive, then I can only suggest that you learn to design oscommerce yourself. Good design ebooks available at oscbooks.comIt’s good NOT to use templates anyway, as most are absolutely really poorly coded.
Figure you get what you pay for. Look at various health food products and see how they are marketed.

As industries worldwide move toward consolidation, niche companies need to take advantage of strategies that are forward-thinking and anticipate new trends. Beating the Global Consolidation Endgame identifies nine key strategies that niche companies must master in order to outperform their markets and gain the largest benefits from consolidation. It draws from a landmark study conducted by global management consulting firm A.T. Kearney of more than 600,000 small to mid-sized niche companies over a 15-year period.
A.T. Kearney thought leaders Dr. Fritz Kroeger, Dr. Andrej Vizjak, and Michael Moriarty reveal nine successful Endgame niche strategies while explaining how these strategies are most viable at certain points during consolidation. In order to time the strategies accurately, all decision makers must know what stage of industry consolidation they’re in, along with the implications of each stage. This ensures a company’s survival and success against global consolidators.
Taking you through the Merger Endgame Theory lifecycle, the authors show you how to develop stable niche strategies by:
These action steps are supported by case studies of leading companies around the world, including BMW, NetJets, Swatch, Ducati, and KPMG–which show how these niche fighters developed competitive advantage, survived market collapses, and delivered superior customer service while increasing their market share.

While the high-voltage submarine cable sector remains a niche market, underwater power transmission is becoming more prevalent in the infrastructure plans of countries around the world. The current push for more readily available renewable power has created new opportunities ” for grid interconnections and connecting offshore wind farms to nearby landmasses, for example ” and grid operators are turning to submarine power transmission cables to help supplement or replace aging and inadequate grid infrastructures. According to a recent report from Pike Research , submarine transmission cable projects will increase from just over 60 worldwide in 2011 to more than 350 cables by 2020, placing significant pressure on the existing industry.
“Unfortunately, the supply chain for high-voltage submarine cables is not ready for the exploding demand for these products,” says Pike Research president Clint Wheelock. “Only a few manufacturers in the world are capable of producing high-voltage submarine cables, and purchasers have few other places to turn when manufacturers tell them there will be an unexpectedly long wait for their desired product.”
What’s more, constraints on new project development reach beyond the manufacture of cable. Site engineering companies and cable-laying ships are also highly specialized and also in limited supply. Pike Research’s analysis indicates that demand growth shows no sign of letting up in the foreseeable future, meaning that manufacturers must make provisions to meet customers’ future needs.
Those needs will be most acute in Europe, which will continue to be the leading region for submarine transmission deployments, representing nearly three-quarters of all projects by 2020. From 2011 to 2015, purchasers and developers have proposed to install an additional 14,000 kilometers of high-voltage submarine cables in 53 separate projects in Europe ” nearly three times the total in the last 11 years. Some industry watchers estimate that the current supply chain is capable of producing only one-third of the required cables for projects planned in the next five years. The challenge for the industry will be to meet the staggering demand growth with a sustainable, economically viable supply of submarine power transmission products.
Pike Research’s report, “Submarine Electricity Transmission” , examines the market opportunity and demand dynamics for submarine HVDC and HVAC power cable projects around the world. The study analyzes the continuing expansion of such projects and the increased strain that this growing demand will place on the existing undersea transmission supply chain. Prominent projects and key industry players are profiled in depth, and market forecasts for each world region extend through 2020. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the firm’s website .

Unless the company is Ball Corp. And unless the niche market is craft brewing, which Ball is embracing with the fervor of a beer geek cracking open a hoppy India pale ale.
Make no mistake: Broomfield-based Ball the big money comes from mega-customers MillerCoors, Budweiser, Coke and Pepsi.
But Ball, the world’s largest can maker, sees burgeoning potential for full-flavored craft beer in cans.
“Five years ago, you almost never saw a craft beer in a can,” said Ball president and chief executive John Hayes. “Brewers were getting mocked for doing it. But then – boom – the market took off.”
As fast as the overall craft industry is growing – 15 percent this year – the sub- market of canned specialty brews is expanding much faster.
Sales of canned craft beer in six-packs and 12-packs have more than doubled so far in 2011 compared with last year, according to the Boulder-based Brewers Association.
Brewers like cans because their lighter weight reduces transport costs and because cans do a better job than bottles of keeping out light and air.
Consumers are gravitating to craft beers in cans for their portability and ease of recycling.
Plenty of industry analysts scoffed when Longmont-based Oskar Blues Brewery became the first U.S. craft brewer to sell in cans in 2002.
“We were just a little brewpub thinking about this crazy idea of cans,” said Dale Katechis, founder and owner of Oskar Blues. “It was intimidating even to go tour (Ball’s) plant. But they treated us like we were their top priority.”
This year, the fast-growing brewery is purchasing about 14 million cans from Ball and will up its order in 2012 to at least 18 million.
Fort Collins-based New Belgium Brewing began using Ball cans for some of its beer lines in 2009.

“Our artwork is pretty tricky because it’s sort of like watercolor paintings,” said Brendan Beers, packaging-materials purchaser for New Belgium. “Ball rose to the top of our list.”
Ball now counts 130 craft brewers nationwide as customers. In Colorado, that includes Avery, Steamboat, Wynkoop and Mil lerCoors’ craft-style line. Another new client is Denver winemaker Infinite Monkey Theorem.
Ball won’t say exactly how much of its $5.5 billion in annual can sales comes from craft brewers. Analysts peg it at less than 1 percent.
But count on that figure to rise, Hayes said.
“Craft beer and wine taste great in cans,” he said. “Consumers are showing they get that.”

Please contribute by telling me what you hate about the whole process of applying for a job online. This would help alot. My idea is to create something along the lines of the site putting back something back into society…ie part profits going to charities. What do you think?
Sounds like you’re going in too many directions,,,,,,,why give anything to charity when the whole point is to make a living?You could consider assisting with job placement for people who have some kind of challenge to overcome. Doesn’t matter if it’s cancer, amputation, or alcoholism. If you can get that kind of operation started on your own you might be able to get grants and/or funding from foundations and government agencies to continue your work.

You can loosely define a niche market as composed of individuals and businesses that have similar
interests and needs.
A better way to think about this is to imagine you are fishing.
Niche Marketing would be like you fishing in a small pond packed with really hungry fish and you
have the bait they like the most.
The opposite is mass marketing which would be like fishing in a large pond with a ton of fish spread throughout the pond that are overfed and thus have their choice of meals.
Why Should You Consider Niche Marketing?
In short, you should consider Niche Marketing unless you are a large corporation with deep pockets.
If you are a large corporation then by all means, stay with the masses…PLEASE!
Most large corporations ignore the niche markets because they are not trying to make an extra
$1,000 to $15,000 per month like many small business owners and entrepreneurs.
Instead, they are looking to make extra millions per month.
This is great news for us because we don’t have to compete with the advertising budgets of these large corporations.
It is also pretty easy to find potential customers in niche markets. I will go into more detail about this in another part of the course but simply put, People that have the same passion usually read the same things and hangout at the same places.
Just in case you were wondering, here are some examples of Niche Markets – some larger (and weirder) than others:
Winter Camping Enthusiasts
Motor Coach Owners
Carpet Cleaner Business Owners
Ferret Owners
Pyrographers – That’s Wood Burning
Cocker Spaniel Owners

Scrap bookers – Much larger Niche than it used to be
Before we go any further, here are the 4 most important things you need to know before deciding which “niche market” to….
What is a niche market anyway?
You can loosely define a niche market as composed of individuals and businesses that have similar
interests and needs.
A better way to think about this is to imagine you are fishing.
Niche Marketing would be like you fishing in a small pond packed with really hungry fish and you
have the bait they like the most.
The opposite is mass marketing which would be like fishing in a large pond with a ton of fish spread throughout the pond that are overfed and thus have their choice of meals.
Why Should You Consider Niche Marketing?
In short, you should consider Niche Marketing unless you are a large corporation with deep pockets.
If you are a large corporation then by all means, stay with the masses…PLEASE!
Most large corporations ignore the niche markets because they are not trying to make an extra
$1,000 to $15,000 per month like many small business owners and entrepreneurs.
Instead, they are looking to make extra millions per month.
This is great news for us because we don’t have to compete with the advertising budgets of these large corporations.
It is also pretty easy to find potential customers in niche markets. I will go into more detail about this in another part of the course but simply put, People that have the same passion usually read the same things and hangout at the same places.
Just in case you were wondering, here are some examples of Niche Markets – some larger (and weirder) than others:
Winter Camping Enthusiasts
Motor Coach Owners
Carpet Cleaner Business Owners
Ferret Owners
Pyrographers – That’s Wood Burning
Cocker Spaniel Owners
