Whats A Niche and Can I Find One Too?
When I came upon that little word -- Niche -- I wondered, "what is this thing called a Niche -- and most importantly, can I find my own niche too? What is A Niche Well, a niche, is a service or product, that fills an unmet customer's need -- that is more of a speciality. You are not competing with the masses for a sale on an ebook or an affiliate tool. Instead, you carve out a small corner of the market for yourself on the Internet. Well, the definition was simple, however, finding a niche that I felt comfortable with was going to be a chore, because I wanted to avoid the affiliate programs -- and if possible find a company that privately carried their own affiliate program -- without the quota's and the many rules. How to Find A Niche When I started looking for a niche market, I started to make a list of my hobbies, what I liked to do, what I was interested in and what I was familiar with -- to help me brainstorm. If this little task does nothing else, it will definitely give you an eye-opener to who you are. Anyway, when the dust finally settled I realized that I wanted a niche where it would assist others -- perform a service of some sort, and would compliment my current website. Not very decisive, but I had a direction. Then it happened, just by chance, or maybe it was divine intercession -- anyway, I received a personal email from one of the assistant manager's from DentalPlans -- stating that she liked my website and wondered if I would be interested in becoming an affiliate. I looked at their website and the affiliate plan -- and I knew that this affiliate program was for me. Here's What DentalPlan Offers 1. High conversion rate -- 1-5% percent conversion ratio from click thrus. 2. Commission -- $40 to $50. 3. Extremely high EPC. 4. Partner through DentalPlans private network -- Your affiliate manager will answer any questions you may have --- one on one assistance. 5. You can promote on-line or off-line or both. 6. Full 365-day cookie. (If you go through DentalPlans program) 7. Paid monthly. 8. They work with affiliates more closely -- will create custom creatives such as: landing pages, banners, pop-unders, emails, editable templates to fit on your website. 9. Free Web templates (standard and editable), banners, affiliate links 10. On-line tracking of stats 11. Multi-tier possibilities (Need to ask about it) This is what I or any affiliate is looking for in a program!

Anyway, I found my niche -- it compliments my affiliate website. So yes, you can find your small corner of the Internet and find a niche product. But always remember -- even though this may have seemed difficult -- your chore is not over -- you must market, market and market. To you success.
