7 Simple Steps to Identifying a Profitable Authority Niche

May 14, 2013 by Steve Scott

The biggest hurdle for anyone starting a new Internet business is picking a niche.

We all have various interests. So it’s hard to determine if a topic will work or if it’s a waste of time.

This problem becomes more pronounced when building an authority business. It’s hard to pick a topic when you know it’s a multi-year commitment.

More importantly, determining the profitability of an idea is the key to long-term success. So while an idea might look good on paper, it’s important to find out if it will actually make money.

In this edition of the Authority Internet Business case study, I’ll go over my seven-step strategy for identifying the profit potential for any niche idea.

Not only will I provide a detailed blueprint, I’ll also give specific examples from the research of DevelopGoodHabits.com.

The goal of this course is simple – To detail a successful affiliate strategy without the lies and hype you often get from ‘Internet Gurus.’

I really can’t guarantee my product will be the magic pill for everyone who reads it. I think some people will find it useful. Others won’t. That’s a fact of life that I can’t change.

One Niche To Rule Them All

April 24, 2012May 25, 2011 by Steve Scott

I’ve always believed that building an Internet business is like sipping from a fire hose. It’s almost impossible to learn just a little. Because of information overload it’s really hard to know *who* is right about the secrets to online success.

One thing that pisses me off is the idea of the Underachiever Internet Marketer. He’s that guy (or gal) who makes lot of money from dozens of niches. What annoys me is many folks believe you can find success by juggling different markets and projects.

I know some people make money doing this. But also some people make a living as a quarterback of a NFL team. It takes a very special skill set to manage lots of websites. Frankly, I think this is a bad strategy for anyone who is getting started online.

I believe in a simple philosophy. Focus on one niche at a time. When I say focus, I mean be prepared to spend 2 to 3 YEARS in this market. Only then, will you be able to build a solid, profitable Internet business.

There’s another reason why I recommend focusing on a single niche. It’s the best way to provide real value to an audience. Juggling multiple markets turns you into the proverbial jack-of-all-trades. You’ll know a little bit about a lot of things.

As an Internet entrepreneur, people come to you seeking top-notch information. It’s up to YOU to be that person who provides it.

To illustrate this point, take a look at this diagram:
