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:
- Wealth → Travel → Long-distance travel → Vacations on the Maldives (example service: Custom recommendation for islands based on individual preferences)
