The information of this article is based on my own experience, when I just launched one of my home business opportunities sites, which was a very special case. I suddenly found out, that not all niches offer the same chances for my home based business ideas. 1. Think, Whether These Home Business Opportunities Fit To Your Style, I Mean Do You Like These? A style is an emotional factor and that makes it very important. If the industry style is the kind, that you just do not like it or it is something you hate, think twice, whether this kind of home business opportunities are for you. 2. Can You Get Enough Long Tail Keywords? When I thought, which of the home business opportunities would I pick for my new launch, I met a surprising problem. In some niches there just were not enough good keywords, especially the long tail ones. This raises a heavy competition between suppliers and make it hard to get high SERP. My marketing strategy was based on SEO using the article marketing as a main way to get targeted traffic. It is clear that to follow this strategy, it needs lots of good long tail keywords, even so many that the list is practically endless. 3. Can You Get Enough Affiliate Programs? This was another major problem. My idea was to start with a mortgage site and I found out that the number of affiliate programs were very limited and I did not want to take unrelated programs. When my plan was to get about twenty affiliate programs, I am still digging new ones. This was a surprise for me, because in my another niche, online home business, there were any problems with this. Another thing to check is, whether these affiliate programs can offer a wide range of marketing material for free, banners, doorway pages, videos, free ebooks, DVDs, email marketing material etc. I found out that most had only a few banners in two sizes and that was it. 4. Is There A Respected Forum To Get Information About The Niche? I was used to get useful information from an online marketing forum, where hundreds of online marketers changed their experiences and helped each other. Now, with this new niche, I found out that this route does not work so well and I had to dig information from many small sources. The problem was to judge, whether this information was reliable and working or not. Actually, this is a learning curve and I will get the touch with it over time. 5. Is There Enough Bloggers And Blog Commentators In The Niche? Usually the bloggers are very useful, because they share proven experiences and collect good commentators. My new niche had some bloggers, even some extremely good ones, and that helped me a lot. The first job was to start sharing experiences with them to be able to become a group member. As you see, there are these simple and basic questions, which are very important for the success possibilities of your home business opportunities. These factors should be an elementary part of your online business planning. Juhani Tontti, B.Sc., Marketing. Are You Interested About New Home Based Business Ideas And Opportunities?
