One of the greatest *aha!* moments...

2 replies
Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share an *aha* moment I had a little while ago that helped me overcome one of my biggest obstacles in building an internet business.

We all know that choosing the right market to enter is one of the most, if not the most, important tasks in IM. It will be our source of traffic and income.

Marketers will often times avoid huge profitable markets with hungry, impulsive traffic completely because they feel there is too much competition and too much information already available. They say, "Why would someone listen to me if there is already Person A, Person X, Person T, etc. in this market? How can I compete with them?"

Well, guess what? There are people out there that will only relate to YOU, that will trust only YOU, build a relationship with only YOU, and buy recommended products and solutions from only YOU.

There is always room for newcomers in even the most competitive markets if you focus on providing exceptional value and building a list of responsive customers that connect with your unique style.

The key is to first believe this and then start working at getting attention and traffic. Obviously traffic won't come quickly in big markets, but chip away one email at a time.

Believe in yourself, it is worth it!

    Ya, I used to also be scared of competition...but one of the *aha* moments for me was realizing that competition is a good thing because it means the market is actually a profitable one. After realizing this, it's then a matter of finding an angle that is unique to you! So long as you can provide value, customers will respond.

    You are right concerning certain niches, but depending on the niche you may choose, you can have so much competition from stronger competitors that they won't give you any chance to approach your potential customers. Unless you are a real expert, and your work is really superior.

    And even in this case, you'll still have to face many difficulties, because the public cannot evaluate the truth.

    So, your discovery can be applied only to specific competitive niches, like internet marketing for example. This is the best niche online, besides all the competition. Everyone cares about IM on the internet, everyone accepts anyone as an expert because even a teen can make money online and discover smart solutions, everyone accepts joint ventures with other internet marketers without objections because they think about their commissions when they will promote other people's products, etc.

    The same advantages are not available in other very competitive niches online, which have a limited audience, even when it is quite large. If you'll care about writing for ex, this is related to internet marketing, what means that you still have many advantages online. However, if you'll care about mental health, you'll have a very hard time trying to beat your strong competitors, and many other obstacles in your way.
