Find a Market Niche

If you find a market niche, this is a great business opportunity. Growing within a niche is often easier because you can better target your customers.

Ways to Find a Market Niche

  • Pain Spotting: Find the problems/difficulties of a particular group
  • Digitization: Find process steps of business that can be digitized
  • Copy Cat: Copy successful ideas and twist them:
    • Look for services or products that work in other countries
    • Or which work in other business branches
  • Customer Journey: Look closely at the whole journey of a customer with a product or service. Where can the process be optimized?
    • For example, Airbnb optimized parts of the process of finding accommodations
  • Meta Layer: Can you add an additional level/layer? Examples:
    • Combine the results from different search engines or APIs
    • Compare portals that make comparisons:
      • Individual hotel websites → Portals for finding hotels (e.g., booking.com) → Site which compares different hotel portal sides

Start With the Best Markets and Niche Down

Markets for which people always spend money:

  • Wealth
  • Relationship
  • Health

Niche it down several times, for example:
