Whats A Niche and Can I Find One Too?


When I came upon that little word -- Niche -- I wondered,"what is this thing called a Niche -- and mostimportantly, can I find my own niche too?

What is A Niche

Well, a niche, is a service or product, that fillsan unmet customer's need -- that is more of aspeciality. You are not competing with themasses for a sale on an ebook or an affiliate tool.Instead, you carve out a small corner of themarket for yourself on the Internet.

Well, the definition was simple, however, findinga niche that I felt comfortable with was goingto be a chore, because I wanted to avoid theaffiliate programs -- and if possible find a companythat privately carried their own affiliateprogram -- without the quota's and the many rules.

How to Find A Niche

When I started looking for a niche market, I startedto make a list of my hobbies, what I liked to do,what I was interested in and what I was familiarwith -- to help me brainstorm. If this littletask does nothing else, it will definitely give you aneye-opener to who you are.

Anyway, when the dust finally settled I realized that Iwanted a niche where it would assist others -- performa service of some sort, and would compliment mycurrent website. Not very decisive, but I had a direction.

Then it happened, just by chance, or maybe it was divineintercession -- anyway, I received a personal email fromone of the assistant manager's from DentalPlans -- statingthat she liked my website and wondered if I would beinterested in becoming an affiliate.

I looked at their website and the affiliate plan -- andI knew that this affiliate program was for me.

Here's What DentalPlan Offers

1. High conversion rate -- 1-5% percent conversion

ratio from click thrus.

2. Commission -- $40 to $50.

3. Extremely high EPC.

4. Partner through DentalPlans private network -- Your affiliate manager will answer any questions you may have --- one

on one assistance.

5. You can promote on-line or off-line or both.

6. Full 365-day cookie. (If you go through DentalPlans program)

7. Paid monthly.

8. They work with affiliates more closely -- will createcustom creatives such as: landing pages, banners, pop-unders,emails, editable templates to fit on your website.

9. Free Web templates (standard and editable), banners, affiliate links

10. On-line tracking of stats

11. Multi-tier possibilities (Need to ask about it)

This is what I or any affiliate is looking for in a program! If you would like to join, you can go to my website at http://www.myaffiliateplace.biz/Affiliate_More_Affiliate_Opp.htmor if you would like to look at one of their editable website'sgo to http://www.myaffiliateplace.biz/Affiliate_mydentalwebsite.htmand look around.

Anyway, I found my niche -- it compliments my affiliate website.

So yes, you can find your small corner of the Internet and finda niche product. But always remember -- even though this may have seemed difficult -- your chore is not over -- you mustmarket, market and market.

To you success.
