How to find a niche market in electronics
I always recommend going with a niche that you’re most passionate and knowledgeable about.
Passion and knowledge go a long way and will help you pull through the times that you feel like you aren’t going to make it.
If you haven’t picked an electronics niche from the list above go do it now, go through until you see an item that you know a lot about or are willing to invest time in and learn.
With your niche category selected it’s now time to brainstorm how you want to approach creating your new niche website.
Answer these questions
- Do I know this niche enough to be able to speak to a friend about?
- Do I own any of the electronics or gadgets that I’m going to be writing about?
- Am I willing to learn a new skill or purchase the products for review?
The core reason I want you to answer these questions is because I believe in being authentic. It’s incredibly hard to create content around a product you have never actually seen or touched. Sure you can rely on others’ opinions’ content but nothing comes out more honest than a true perspective of the subject.
Types of Niche Sites
We recommend the following style sites for the electronics niche.
- Informative with Affiliate Links.
- B2B focus of high-ticket product recommendations with instructional and knowledge base.
- B2C eCommerce
- B2B Consulting
- B2C Consulting
- B2B Repair, high-ticket
- B2C Repair, low-ticket fast turn around
Think about what you are good at and go from there, but always remember to be informative and strive to give your users a solid experience.
The best way to do this is with amazing content.
Are you the best at sales? Maybe eCommerce or Consulting will work best for you.
Do you like fixing things? Maybe a technical blog on how to work with electronics is right for you, you could even offer repair service after you have gained some trust in your audience.
Are you knowledgeable? Nothing wrong with being the smartest person in the room, just make sure you bring your A game when you are trying to educate your audience.
Create these types of content to build trust and drive backlinks.
Us these steps regardless of the direction you are going to build authority in your niche.
- Video Tutorials are Great – Take a look at Linus Tech Tips YouTube channel
- Detailed Step-by-Step Guides – Take a look at How Stuff Works website for inspiration of how to teach then recommend.
- Pillar Content, the most detailed thought provoking content you have.
