30 Day Challenge - Day 1

Action Steps
Day 1 is very has very simple action steps today which is to watch the video, podcast, catch up with preseason videos and create a list of niches.

On the forum, I am part of the Team Los Angeles 1 group and we are in the process of setting of facebook groups.

Create a list of niches
The list of niches and markets will mainly come from my interests rather than random topics. I feel that it is easier to talk and write about things that I know about rather than trying to learn something and regurgitate what I learn about it like a school paper.

Also, I think that at this stage it is very IMPORTANT to not be biased on what you think will sell or what will not sell. I guess it's more of a idea brainstorming session than deciding what price and what market to sell a product at.

1. Markets and Categories: Hobbies
  • Computers
  • Sports
2. Narrow Down into smaller markets
  • Computers
    • Internet Security
    • Computer Repair
  • Sports
    • Basketball
    • Snowboarding
3. Narrow down into even SMALLER markets
  • Computers
    • Internet Security
      • Removing adware and spyware
      • Preventing identity theft on the Internet
      • Using firewalls and routers
    • Computer Repair
      • Spring cleaning your PC
      • How to make a computer faster
      • Best keyword and mice for working more efficiently
  • Sports
    • Basketball
      • Increase Vertical Leap
      • How to dunk a basketball
      • Dribbling better
      • Increase quickness
      • Best shoes for basketball
    • Snowboarding
      • Learning how to carve on a snowboard
      • Essential gear for going snowboarding
I think I read that another good way of generating niche ideas would be to use eBay categories to get ideas.
