Finding a Niche to Target with Information Products

By: Carl Pruitt

Before beginning to sell information products online, make sure that you are targeting a niche that will be profitable in the short-term as well as in the future. Your niche is simply a different way of saying your target audience.

Some niches, you will quickly discover, are not as profitable as others. You need to put a lot of thought into whether your target audience is both willing and able to spend money for the solutions to their problems.

For example, golfers have proven they have deep pockets since playing golf is a very expensive past time. Golfers are typically rabid fans of their game and would do anything to improve their score or beat their competitors.

Another potential target audience such as single moms on a budget may be reluctant to pay $67 for an eBook on getting organized, but if you target a different problem of theirs they are willing to pay. For instance, many may be willing to pay $47 for an eBook which teaches them how to make more money working at home than they make on their 9-5 jobs.

One excellent place to begin is with checking out online groups and forums. You can visit iVillage, or Yahoo groups, Google groups, or Boardtracker and determine what sort of groups garner the most posts. Men's groups such as AskMen might provide some insight into which types of information products this segment of the population might need which you can provide at a handsome profit.

You're not only looking for large group of people to market to - you are looking for the large group that has a lot of problems in common which need solutions. As you start creating information products, you will want to concentrate on building a whole line of products in one niche to begin with. This will allow you to market to loyal existing customers who will buy from you many different times.

Sometimes, you'll find one large niche and then realize you need to build your information product line around a more targeted, narrow niche of people. For instance, parents in general have many problems you could address, such as raising smart kids, dealing with discipline, and saving money.

But you can really make money when you narrow that niche down to mothers or fathers, and then go deeper to parents of multiples, or parents of children with a particular ailment. Keep in mind that in information product is not a product at all in the traditional sense. It is a solution to your market's problem and needs to be promoted as something that improves lives.
