Show Us Your Niches!

January 11th 2010 -

RM2RocketMoms Session 5 has started and today we received our first assignment; creating a “Niche Hobby” lens. These lenses are some of the best performing on Squidoo. Typically, that equals cash for the lensmaster and / or their chosen charity.

A lens is another word for a webpage and they are very easy to make with all the tools at your disposal. A niche is a very tight focus in any area. For instance, instead of creating a lens about music of the 1980s try focusing on a particular band that was / is popular. Offer your readers the Amazon or iTunes option to order those songs.

Maybe your interest or hobby is books, coffee, vintage t-shirts or video games. Narrow it down to just a few options, tell your readers why you love something and then offer them a way to try your suggestions. It really is that simple.

If you are passionate about your interest and can convey that in a convincing way to your readers, you will have a great niche lens.

Squidoo is a large community of lenmasters that write about their interests and passions. Spam is not acceptable. If you throw a lens together just to sell something and are not passionate about it, the lens typically will fall the bottom of the ranks and will rarely be seen. Sounds like you might be wasting your time trying to spam at Squidoo, doesn’t it?

Even if you are not a RocketMom or even a Squidoo member yet, you can sign up, create a lens, and get started making some money.

Be sure to check out the RocketMoms FaceBook page and become a fan!

So, what's your niche?

      Biology dictates that I could never be a member of these talented lensmasters, and surgery is out of the question!

      Niches? I had thought about coffee and keyboards, but I think someone else has that covered ;)
