To  a lot of people online, finding a niche that suites a person's likes, can be very confusing at times.
  Several people believe that niche marketing is the exact same thing as internet marketing, but these people are strongly mistaken.
  The only correlation between these two things is that they are both done on the internet.
  Niche marketing is directed to a much smaller, more direct of people, that are, looking for/interested in, what you are trying to place in front of them, I.
e.
be it an eBook, product, freebie, etc.
Niche marketing is a much more specified "group" of people in a very specific market.
  This helps you monetize your time, and allows you to get your point across to  a group of people that are very interested already in what you are trying to put in front of them.
  This not only helps you, but it helps the consumer see much faster, what they want and need.
This also helps you in the long run receive that much wanted commission, and makes finding a niche much easier.
Now, please do not get confused or misled with ideas of what niches are.
  I find several people getting confused as to how big or small a niche is.
Take for example the Golf Industry.
 Now, Golf is a "complete market" not a niche in itself.
You have to think much more cynical if your going to think about what a niche is "inside" of the gold industry.
Now, if you were to think about "golf shoe's" or an eBook on how to "increase your drive", these would both be great ideas to finding a niche that suites a direct, qualified market of people, and that is much less competitive.
  The less competitive, and more directed your are in finding your niche, the less struggle you'll have with beating out other people in search engines, and in the regular field of your specified niche.
    Targeting specific niche sections and finding a niche that is very targeted can help you beat out a lot of people and helps you have less competition in the long run!
