When people tell you to find a niche it all sounds so easy, find a niche, build a site, make money..

The truth is that in many ways it is just that easy, but in some ways it is a lot harder than that. One of the problems that I see on my travels through the Internet (I do a fair number of 1 on 1 coaching sessions with people) is that people tend to have all their sites around similar niches.

So if you know about or have an interest in repairing cars for example your sites may well be car centric, maybe some power tool sites but nothing much different. This can give you problems as all your sites would tend to be aimed at the same demographics.

You need to get some niche diversity in your portfolio, this is easier said than done since we tend to build sites around what we know.. So why not let someone else spark your brain

Niche A Day by Scott Standke is a nice way to get a daily dose of niche inspiration. Rather than getting a gazillion niches all at once (which i find to just be so much info I can’t handle it) you get one a day.

If you aren’t building a site today that’s cool, save the emails and then get them out when you are building. What I do is have a folder just for the emails, I also have a folder on my desktop where I save any info I come across that may relate to any of the niches I have seen in the emails.

http://nicheaday.com/ is a great way to start looking at niches that are profitable and outside your normal sphere of research. You always hear people saying to think outside the box, it is a lot easier when someone else does some of it for you..lol
