Here is the first of 4 Key Questions You Must Ask Yourself Before You Settle On a Niche For Your Speaking. 

Are other people interested in this topic?

First thing to determine is whether people are actually looking for information related to your topic, or buying products or services in this niche.  You will be surprised what people are interested in and focussed on.

So step one is to determine whether other people are as interested in the topic as you are.  How do you do this?  A few strategies you could try:

  a. Specialty Magazines: Visit one of the larger newsagents or bookshops in your area and have a look at the specialty magazines available.  Most magazines make their money from advertising revenue.  So if there is a magazine on your topic that has been around for a while, it is a fair bet people are looking for information on your topic- and are willing to pay!

  b. Google keyword tool: You can go to Google and search for their keyword tool and get some great information for free.  There you can see exactly how many people are using Google to search on a particular subject.

Remember- if there are a lot of people as passionate as you are about you are about your topic, chances are you have a good niche on your hands.

  1. I was basically wanting to know if you ever considered modifying the design of your site? Its well written; I really like what you have got to state. But maybe you could create a a bit more in the way of written content so people could connect to it better. Youve got an awful lot of wording for only having one or two images. Maybe you can space it out better?

  2. Fantastic read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little study on that. And he really bought me lunch because I located it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!

  3. Hello.This article was extremely motivating, particularly since I was investigating for thoughts on this matter last Wednesday.

  4. Oh my goodness! Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the content home a bit, besides that, this is great blog post. A great read. I will definitely be back.

  5. I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.

  6. I dont know what it is about this blog that turns me off so much, but you just dont seem to get me excited. I dont know if its the lack of content or just the way you wrote it. But you really dont seem to understand that your readers may not agree with you. Youre really just too out there for me.
