Chapter 2: Online business basics: choosing a niche and target audience
It’s time to get into the basics of online business: choosing a niche and targeting an audience. These are the two foundation stones on which a successful online business is built.
Choosing a niche: specialization is key
Don’t try to do everything at once. In the world of online business, it’s better to focus on a narrow niche and become an expert in it. This will allow you to:
Position yourself as an expert. In a narrow niche, it is easier to stand out from the competition and become a recognizable brand.
Focus your marketing efforts. You will spend less time and resources on customer acquisition, since your audience will be more targeted.
Build a strong community. A narrow niche allows you to build closer relationships with customers who share your interests.
Defining your target audience: know your audience.
Who will buy your products or services? To answer this question, you need to define your target audience.
Who are they?
Age, gender, interests, education, profession, income – all these factors are important for understanding your audience.
What do they want? What problems do they solve? What values are important to them?
Where do they spend their time? What social networks do they use? What sites and blogs do they read?
It is important to create a «portrait» of your ideal client. This will help you better understand their needs and offer them what they really need.
Methods for determining the target audience
There are many ways to determine the target audience:
Competitor analysis. Who is the target audience of your competitors?
Surveys and questionnaires. Ask your potential customers what interests them.
Social media analysis. What pages and groups on social networks do your potential customers visit?
Studying reviews and comments. What do people write about your niche?
Examples of successful niche businesses

Specialization and target audience are the basis for success
Choosing the right niche and target audience is an important step towards creating a successful online business.
Focus on a narrow niche and know your audience. This will help you stand out from the competition and create a business that will bring you success.
Chapter 3: Creating a website or online store
It’s time to build the foundation of our online business – create a website or online store.
