Have you ever thought of starting your own business or being your own boss? If so, then these questions must have crossed your mind...
• What business do I go into?
• How am I sure I will sell?
• How will I do it?
• Who do I sell to?
• How much am I going to be making?
Today, I will help you answer some of these questions and guide you through deciding which niche fits you the most
Before I proceed, it is important to note that you must have a passion for what you are doing to succeed, because in tough times when there's no income or encouragement, it’s only the passion that would keep you going.
I have also come to discover that in life, no matter what niche you're into, whether it’s legal or not, if you're consistent with it, you will succeed, which is evident in the story of the tower of babel. You probably just thought of some illegal ways of making money and a couple of people you know that are making money through it right?, Please I strongly advice against illegal means of making money. What does it profit a man to gain the world and to lose his soul?
You can find a future in any of these 5 niches:
1- Job creation
Unemployment is probably the major reason why blogs like mine will captivate the interest of today's youths. The job market is a huge one, the gurus at jobberman and the likes can testify to that. If you're passionate about helping people succeed like myself, you can consider building yourself a niche in the job market. Probably as a consultant that helps people construct cvs and teach presentation skills for interviews, probably being an intermediary between companies and people who offer freelance services such as website development, content providing, custom clothings etc. Just think around this niche, and if you have the technical know-how, starting your own job website isn't a bad idea either
2- Entertainment
The world has moved from the industrial revolution age and we are now in the information age. The hardship in recent times has called for an increase in entertainment to suppress the negative effects the hardship has on people. Never in the history of the world have entertainers earned as much as they do now.
If you like to be noticed and you like the idea of being famous, then entertainment is a niche you can build around. To be successful in the entertainment industry, get yourself a trustworthy mentor to put you through. You could develop yourself in various entertainment niches such as social media entertainment, which is relatively cheap, or church comedy. You can also consider song writing or owning a blog where you post jokes. Most importantly, make sure you always write down your ideas, because it’s very easy to forget them in the next second.
3- Food
We all must eat. Food is number 1 in the hierarchy of human needs. Whether you are a farmer, a marketer, a nutritionist, anything food related would definitely sell if you have the right structures. Nigerians are becoming more food conscious as a result of the numerous diseases springing out frequently, most especially cancer, you can take advantage of this and provide advice on food consumption. You can also partner with fast foods, and you run a website to deliver food to customers who order on your site while you get your percentage from both the fastfood and the buyer. You can also offer specialised food services to patients of certain food related ailments such as diabetes, allergies etc. you can either give them recipes on new meals they can prepare or you offer to provide them with the dishes or the ingredients in preparing them. All over the world, the number of diabetes patients is on the increase. To practice this niche, you must be able to work under pressure.
4- Clothing
Would you rather go hungry or naked?
Clothing is number two in the hierarchy of human needs. No matter how hard the economy is, you will always need to add one or two items to your wardrobe every now and then. If you are a fashion conscious person, you can consider going into this niche. You can be an affiliate to a cloth producer or marketer and open a virtual shop on an online store such as konga, jumia etc, where you snap the clothes and upload the pictures for sale on your store. You get your discount from your marketer and also could also charge the buyer extra. This way, you don't need a shop, you just link seller with buyer, and the delivery agency ships the clothes while you earn your commission. With nice cloths and good pictures, you can be sure to make sales because of the large audience that visit these online stores daily. All you need is internet access and a camera. You can also get creative and think of other ways of generating income in the fashion market.
5- Shelter
Everybody looks forward to a place where they can rest their head after a long day.
Shelter is number 3 in the hierarchy of needs of humans. You can partner with local agents and help university students get apartments off campus, this is a very lucrative niche as such accommodations are always in high demand. Subsequently, you can be an affiliate marketer with a real estate company and source for clients who want to rent or buy lands, apartments or houses. You could easily do this by posting online ads on Facebook and LinkedIn. You could consult a real estate agent to give you some hints and tips about the real estate market, and who knows, you might get inspired and build a niche from some ideas you might get.
These 5 niches are top priority needs that cut across all ages and gender, with the right strategies and passion, you're bound to succeed in either of them. Alternatively, there are several other niches that can generate huge revenue for you out there, BE CREATIVE and STAY POSITIVE.
