Niche Marketing and Diversification

"The discovery of a niche market requires one to create, or at least vary, an existing product or service.

Any time is a good time to look for market niches - little "pockets of riches" - your competition may be overlooking.

Many businesses that have failed during hard economic times might have succeeded if they had concentrated on selling not to the masses, but to niche markets."

The Niche Website Guide

The Niche Website Guide says that "Niche websites are a way of not competing!"

You focus, focus more and more and more until you basically eliminate the competition. Your website revolves around a single product or service that you are the expert on.

    I had not thought about using a lensography before to advance a topic of interest. Thanks for expanding my vision beyond using this type of lens to organize one's own collection of lenses. I love sites like this that move one forward into a new dimension of thinking and doing. Thanks!
