What if your passions are too mainstream?

Chris Kent · 04-07-2009, 03:12 PM

I'm a proponent of finding a market and giving them what they want.

But in the long term I would like to establish myself in a niche I have a deep passion for.

I'm already starting to do that with internet marketing (just released my first WSO) but I'd like to apply myself in a non-IM niche I'm passionate about.

The problem is, all my passions are mainstream e.g. formula one, computers, football etc.

I know people say "choose a sub-niche" but the problem is that either I'm interested in the broad subject with no particular passion for a sub-niche OR even the sub-niche is already extremely mainstream e.g. Manchester United!

Any tips? I can't be the only one who has had this problem before?

Do you think you can build a membership site for Football lovers or computer lovers? May not be the answer you were looking for, but something to think about.

Hi Product Creator

I have a similar problem. What I have done is create a set of sub niche sites around a main niche. I didn't plan it that way but because of my interests it sort of happened.

Of course I link between the various websites as I see fit and when it is truly relevant. In the last month I have noticed a big increase in traffic and sales. Having gone through Kevin Rileys training I can see that I have implemented some of his ideas almost by accident.

This is a long way round to say.....

Use multiple subniches and make it work to your advantage.

Even if it means that you have to talk about Man Utd. (Royals Fan Here)

I would just start a blog on something and add to it, keep adding things you like for content. Atleast this way you will have started and will have some kind of online real estate.
