Niche Marketing - Narrow Not Small

The title of this post applies to your business and your booklet, as well as mine. You've read about taking a single booklet manuscript and making an entire related product line from it. That's narrow and certainly not small. You can choose a particular industry and do the same thing. And then go on to a different industry and repeat the process. My business is a one-person business, with many functions outsourced to other professionals. It apparently presents a different image to lots of people who frequently say they are surprised I answer my own phone. Yes, I have yet to be successful in training my cat to do that for me. By some definitions, it's a small business. However, it is international, with many products, with worldwide publicity, and some longevity at this point. Booklets are a niche market, with a narrow focus, and far from small.

What about your business and your booklet? Are you too broad in your approach? You can modify that easily by targeting a particular audience or a particular market. "110 Ideas for Organizing Your Business Life" can become "110 Ideas for Organizing Your Law Office." "How to Live a Stress-Free Life" could be "How to Live a Stress-Free Life After 50."

Narrow your market for bigger sales. Once you think you've exhausted that market, choose another one.

Until next time,
