Over the years many of us have used the business axiom “In Niches Are Riches”.

I’ve come to realize that there is a better rule when deciding what to promote and develop going forward.

Follow the crowd.

Pick a very crowded genre and create your promotion or content that designed to feed a starving crowd in what is an established and sometimes saturated genre.

Why develop a new untested genre or a microniche when you can create a promotion where there are plenty of people ooking for what you have to offer.

Why do you think there are so many sites for genres like celebrities or blow jobs? There are millions of people who what to get their jerk on to what may seem quite vanilla to the rest of us.

In the past I have recommended to find a little niche that you can completely own.

But ask yourself how many people are out there interested in girls with long tongues , pedal pumping or bug squishing?

And then when a hungry competitor finds that your making money off of a new micro niche am larger company will clone what your doing only to piss in the pool with the same old scam of credit card banging and prechecked cross sales and once again defrauding the customer instead of providing a quality service.

The business has moved out of the realm of selling the dream of get rich quick into the dawn of reality where competition and solid, ethical business practices going forward.

Developing a micro niche can set a limitation on how large your business can grow.

And gets back to my point – going after obscure niches means you’ve got to put lots of feeder traffic sources together to make the finances work. This makes it hard to develop any kind of real relationship with your customer and in the end leads to the sleaze-and-squeeze … get rich quick business plan where you shake your new customer hard and hope for prechecked cross sales or selling your mailing list to pay the bills.

Consider Your New Genre Carefully

Heres a lesson that we can learn about retailing on the web.

Last week, Wal-Mart cut the price of some popular new books to just $10, a slice of over 60%. Not willing to be out-done on home turf, Amazon matched them. Wal-Mart went down to $9. Amazon went to $8.99. Target jumped in tardily at $8.99. Then Sears jaunted into the battle and dropped some serious knowledge: books for free.

How? Buy any one of those deep-discounted books at Target, Wal-Mart, or Amazon, and send Sears the receipt at [readamerica@customerservice.sears.com], and they’ll give you a credit of $9 towards anything you buy from Sears online.
