Just choosing the overall industry you want to enter isn’t going to be enough. These large industries like fitness, self-improvement, hobbies, etc all have lots and lots of micro niches that you can single out. The more targeted your niche choice, the higher your conversions are going to be.
Take out a piece of paper and write the industry you’ve chosen at the top of the page. Start writing everything that comes to mind when you think about that industry. This little brainstorming session can give you great ideas for possible niches. Fitness for example could be broken down into nutrition, building muscle, losing weight, building cardiovascular health, disease prevention, supplements, exercise equipment, and more.
Don’t just stop there…
Brainstorm each of the terms that you wrote down. Nutrition could be broken into gaining weight, losing weight, vegetarian meals, diets, glutton free, etc. Building muscle could be thought of as bigger biceps, raising bench press, movie star look, and so on. The whole point is to create ideas for micro niches that fix a problem. All of these are micro niches that could possibly be your next profit stream.
