You do a great job in pointing things out that are right under our noses but fail to see. Niche marketing is something that takes time to appreciate. When we first start out all we think about is jumping in and wanting to climb to the top with the big fish. As you point out we can climb to the top faster and stay there if we do some homework first and find that niche that you can be at the top.

I know you had gained a special attachment for them. At least got you a post to write about. It is hard to get to the top of the food chain and there are no guarantees that you will remain there. That awful word you like to use a lot, work, really comes into play there. It can be frustrating but you guys have shown us that hard work does pay off.

The moral is pretty clear. Now if the tank had an area partitioned off to keep the fish and turtles apart, the fish could have had its own niche in the same larger tank.

I have been focusing a lot more lately on my niche marketing. Like you said, if you can find the right niche it is easy to set yourself up as the top of the food chain for that niche market. Once you get one up and running it is time to start looking for another. Eventually you can have a group of niche markets that will be bringing in a diversified income, so that if the sales on one particular niche drops, you still have the income from all the rest of your niches.
