What Your New Year’s Resolutions Could Mean to Your Business PDF Print E-mail
Written by The Lady   

It’s the end of the year and the beginning of the new one. New Year Resolutions lists are everywhere, as well as, the best of 2008 product lists. Any news show and any news website will have one. Most big retailers on line or off will have them too. Amazon.com put theirs out the other day:

2009 New Year resolution and your business

 

  1. Lose Weight.
  2. Get Your Finances in Order.
  3. Go Greener.
  4. Curb Your Vices.
  5. Get in Shape.
  6. Relax More.
  7. Pursue a New Career.
  8. Upgrade Your Technology.
  9. Organize and Optimize.
  10. Start a New Hobby.

 

I’ll bet, if you made any resolutions, at least one or more are on that list too. The list hardly ever changes. It’s pretty much the same year in and year out. Why? Because these are the ten basic human needs. For a marketer, these are the top 10 golden niches.

If you take a look at Amazon’s Best of 2008 customer favorite’s book list, in the top 25, 3 are something to do with food, losing weight, or how to look younger. One is about going green, one is about financial matters, and several are loosely tied to hobbies. So, the buyers agree with the list.

Of course, there are hundreds of sub niches for each of the resolutions, any one of them could be your ticket to filling your bank account in 2009. Looking through the Best of lists can give you a guide to what sub niches people are actually spending money on.

One point I’m trying to make here is-- you knew this. This is basic human knowledge you can take from your own life experiences. Often, when you start working on line, you get sucked into thinking that everyone knows more than you. You forget that you are the best filter for what is going to work for you and what you are going to be successful at. It’s important to learn to trust yourself.

You don’t always need the latest and greatest whiz bang product. Many times, the product isn’t right for you anyway, and it never gets used. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not glossing over the fact that when you’re getting started there is often a giant learning curve. Learning is very important. But, you don’t need someone to tell you everything. I’ve seen people get mired for weeks or months trying to pick a niche. The sad thing is the niches are there inside of each and every one of you. Just pick one, and get going.

Tapping into the goldmine in 2009…
