Being a successful marketer has many advantages. One of them is ability to connect a market need with a right product. (or vice versa)

So if you are just starting what are the things you could do to start on the right foot?
There are two options:
1. You create and market your own product. (Start your own business)
2. You market other peoples products. (Work for someone)
Irrespective of what you do one thing is for sure…
You need to find a niche.
So what is niche?
How should you target a proper niche? (That’s profitable)
Why should your niche match with your interest? (Passion always beats the competition)
Think of a niche as your playground where you play a specific game. You know the rules. (so you can bend them) Your interest in this niche is multi-fold. Its not just a make money vocation but something you like doing and getting paid for it.
