How are you doing this week?
I’ve been hearing from a lot of people that they’re struggling in all kinds of ways…I spent most of the week laid up and am only just starting to feel more human so I totally get it.
I also get that you need resources that will help you in all kinds of ways so I’m going to give you a mixture of those right here.
Let’s start with things to help you with your business and I’ve been keeping a close eye on what I think will be the most successful niches this year.
Of course, you don’t have to be a niche marketer to know that choosing the right audience to target with something they really want and need is a recipe for success…
And that counts for product creators, affiliates, course creators etc etc
So here’s what I think (and remember, this is just my opinion based on observation – you always need to carry out your own due diligence…)
Health is an obvious one. After the year most of us have had, we’re all more concerned about our physical and mental health than ever.
There are so many sub-niches you can go into here, from fitness to stress and anxiety to specific conditions such as diabetes where sufferers have been given particular cause to worry.
Wealth, another evergreen successful niche or market, is also uppermost in people’s minds. So many have lost jobs and businesses or are suffering from a reduced income that anything that will help is a surefire winner.
That, of course, includes IM although I would strongly recommend you approach this in the most ethical way you can. People have suffered enough already. They don’t need bad advice on top of that.
Then there are relationships – people have been isolated for months on end, unable to meet anyone, and are naturally lonely.
I have several friends who have been dating online throughout the pandemic and know of at least three couples who fell in love during it so, again, this is a great niche for you to focus on.
Then there are the more esoteric niches I have noticed trending – things like the Law of Attraction, prosperity consciousness and others that fall more into the personal development niche.
In uncertain times, people seek reassurance anywhere they can. Again, make sure you offer them an ethical solution.
OK, so with that quick overview in mind (I will be going into all of these in more depth in the coming weeks), here are some resources for you.
