You know the old adage - "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
I very much believe in this too. Learning a useful skill is important.
Unfortunately, not many people subscribe to this wisdom. A whole lot of people out there are just looking for an instant quick fix solution to their problems without wanting to lift much of a finger. They are the 'lazy' crowd.
And then, there is another group of people who are in situations so dire, that they grab whatever helping hand that are extended to them. Often they face problems so pressing, that they look hungrily and desperately around for an answer. They are the 'hungry and desperate' crowd.
So what do the 'lazy' and 'hungry and desperate' crowd have in common?
They are all eyed by the shrewd marketers and businessmen looking to cash in on their problems and solve it for them - for a generous fee!
Take for example, someone who wants to set up an online store to sell some goods. He wants and dreams of earning big bucks but he is lazy. He lazy to learn coding. He is lazy to learn how a content management system works. He is lazy to source for goods to sell. Heck, maybe he is even lazy to wipe his own ass.
Now, you offer him an online store, all nicely done up, content in place, complete with goods ready to sell. Will he buy it from you? You bet he will!
Lets look at another example.
A man cannot satisfy his wife in bed. He becomes increasingly agitated. He needs to feel like a new man again. He wants his mojo back. Now you pop up and offer him a miracle solution to turn him into a beast that will put even Casanova to shame. Will he buy from you? You bet he will!
Perhaps I can better explain the 'desperate' point in the last scenario. You are having a bad bout of diarrhoea, with your poo all ready to spurt out at any given moment. There is no toilet in sight. You are cursing and swearing like a mad man. Suddenly you spot a toilet and gratefully, you rush towards it. However before you can enter, the toilet attendant demands that you pay 10 freaking bucks for entry! Will you? Given your desperate situation, I have no shadow of a doubt that you will. And you will probably press the money so hard in his hands with such desperate fury, that you could have even injured his hand!
From here, we can see that it is very easy to sell to such crowds. It doesn't take much persuading. In fact, they will thank their lucky stars that they found you. All they want are answers. You provide it. Money goes into your pocket.
If you are looking for a profitable niche today to venture into, think first about the 'lazy' and 'hungry and desperate' crowd.
Offer a ready made solution to desperate problems. People will PAY for it, and often at a PREMIUM!
Some things for you and me to ponder about. Hopefully that generates some money-making ideas for you.
I will like to know what you think and your comments. Is there any other crowd which we should target or any particular niche we can look out for? Please share and give you two cents. I love to hear from you!

Just when you thought you heard the last of meme, another one comes along. This is relentless, but still a fun exercise nevertheless. Yes, while it can be time-consuming, it is a good way to get some backlinks, meet new friends, as well as get some traffic. With more traffic and backlinks, the search engines will gonna give you some love as well as far as ranking goes. So it's pretty worthwhile!
