The wild stories about online millionaires have circled the globe. The story of a 19 year old kid behind a computer making $10,000 dollars a day are about as common as UFO sightings. Unfortunately, they’re also about as realistic. While there is a vast opportunity to make money online, the majority of new marketers lose money before they even get started. They are devoured in an extremely competitive market, where only the strong survive. So what is the key to success in online marketing? Niche marketing. What exactly is niche marketing and what are the advantages of niche marketing? Niche marketing is focusing on a smaller piece of the pie and becoming an expert at it. This is avoiding the competitive markets and focusing on markets that you can win. While this sounds like a great theory, what exactly are the advantages of niche marketing?

First of all, you don’t have to spend as much to get involved. In many ultra-competitive markets, the cost of entry is so expensive; you can’t afford to get involved. Many first time marketers are on a shoestring budget and one mistake could be fatal. Starting in a small market allows you time to grow without losing your life’s savings in the process.

For example, if you use some form of pay-per-click advertising, you’ll have to put up your own money. If you dive right into a market like weight loss or making money at home, the cost of the keywords will be outrageous. You’ll probably pay more than $1 each time someone clicks on your ad. If your product doesn’t sell, you can lose a thousand dollars pretty quickly. Then you run home with your tail tucked between your legs and tell every one of the horrors of the internet.

Another one of the advantages of niche marketing is the lower number of competitors. If you’re using search engine optimization to get traffic, it will be easier. You’ll rank higher in the search engines because there won’t be 11 million other websites with the same keywords as you. This will result in more free traffic and therefore more profit for you. Another one of the advantages of niche marketing is the ease of operating your own business. While any brick and mortar business usually has some form of inventory or overhead, you won’t. A new entrepreneur can make money by selling someone else’s product. This means that you don’t have to warehouse any products or pay any salaries. You can just perform your duties and make money. This is a win-win for the companies selling products and for the marketer.

Focusing on a small niche market is vital to your success as an internet marketer. Just make sure that the market isn’t too small. If you’re trying to market a new Bluetooth headset exclusively to members of a select tribe in the Gobi Desert, you probably won’t make very many sales. Make sure that the niche has enough traffic to get you some sales.

Maybe the reason you’re interested in setting up a home business is because you’ve seen an ad that perked your interest or you were approached by a friend or colleague about a great home business money-making opportunity and those entrepreneurial juices started to flow. Your imagination starts to flow and dreams of quitting your job fill your every thought.

Hello, hey, ok… time to stop dreaming. I hate to burst your bubble or stop your fantasy ride but before you give your boss a piece of your mind there’s a few things you need to consider.

First, you need to realize that probably 99% of all home business / work from home offers out there are flat out scams. After all, if it was that easy to pay a few dollars and make thousands, wouldn’t everyone be doing it by now and why tell you about it?

Below I’ve listed and briefly discussed how to recognize and avoid a few of the biggest scams out there.

Location Location Location Check out every offer and assume it’s a scam until you have iron-clad proof that it’s not. A few things to consider are: Where did you see that work from home offer? If you got it by traditional mail or by email or saw it on a poster taped around a telephone pole, then I can guarantee you right now that it’s not a legitimate offer. On the other hand, if you saw the ad in a newspaper, in a jobs magazine or on a jobs website, then it’s a little more likely to be legit – but not necessarily.

Envelope Stuffing Will this scam ever end? Well, not until people stop falling for it. This is the most established work-from-home scam of all time and it’s been going on for what seems like forever now. How it works is that once you pay your money and sign up to work from home, you are sent a set of envelopes and ads just like the one you responded to. The whole idea is to simply get names of people who are interested in home business ops and get a quick buck. You could make a little money if you mail to the right mailing list but don’t count it. Work from home offers like this are simply illegal pyramid schemes. You will not make money putting letters into envelopes – so get over it and move on!

Shoddy Supplies The practice of charging for supplies is hard to pin down to any one scam – it’s a common most work-at-home scams work (including the envelope stuffing scam mentioned above). You’ll be asked to make a minimal “investment” for whatever materials will be needed to do the work and then you’ll receive a collection of very shoddy materials that are worth a fraction of what you paid for them and last but not least you’ll soon realize that there was never a market for work anyway.

Don’t walk – run if anyone asks for money upfront. Any company worth its salt would be willing to deduct any “fees” from your first paycheck. Any company not willing to do that, is in all likely-hood simply out to scam you into giving them some upfront money and then as the saying goes “leaving dodge” as quickly as possible.
