Niche idea for the UK market

by CliveG
19 replies
I listen to the local radio from about 6:00am each morning for half an hour or so to get the local news and weather and then have national television on during breakfast for national / international news. This morning both stations majored on one topic, which seemed a great niche idea.

The niche seems to have low (UK) barriers to entry, growing internet traffic, and is well suited to all sorts of IM products. It all relates to a problem that is apparently growing very very rapidly. Its also a problem that probably already has international solutions that could be "imported" to the UK.

It's a niche that while quite appealing to me I am not currently in a position to exploit so I thought that I would offer it here if anyone is interested.

      Same here! Can't PM due to restriction. Curious about your idea though.

        Hi Clive

        I watched the morning news and missed it. Anyway - You can bounce ideas of me if you like. BTW I have found established warriors to hold confidences very safely.

          Thanks, but I'm not interesting in this niche idea myself at the moment - about six months ago I would have loved it.

          Cheers, Clive

        Without knowing with the niche is, may I just say that I have a lot of sociological knowledge specific to the UK. So if I could be of any help writing content, please let me know!

      I've now sent PMs to the first 10 people who expressed an interest and I think that that is enough.

      I hope that I have put a little something back into the community that has helped me.

      Cheers, Clive

    Thanks to all those who are continuing to PM me with requests for information, but I really am limiting this offer to the 10 people who have already received PMs from me about it.

    If I come across another niche that I do not wish to develop I will offer it here again.

    Best, Clive

      I was one of the ones who PM'ed you last night but not one of the lucky ten.

      I can't tell you what a sleepness night I had last night going over all of the stories I heard on the radio yesterday morning wondering what it was.

      I am blaming you for my newly aquired insomnia LOL

      Sent you PM asking about this nice but didn't get any reply.

      Are you not telling anyone other than first 10 people? What's the reason behind that?

      Thanks

        Sorry, will get round to replying to everyone eventually - I've had quite a good response.

        As with any quite narrow niche, if too many people target it it will not work well. I thought that if I disclose the idea to 10 people (the first 10 who asked) 5 would ignore it, 5 would research it and 2 might implement it and get good results. On the same argument, if I disclosed it to everyone, more than 20 might implement something and the niche is not ready for that and returns would not be good (and people might curse me rather than thank me!).

        Cheers, Clive
