Looking Into Niches

Wow! - I’ve been pretty busy working on a site for a client (I’ll post a link here when its ready for visitors) so busy in fact that I haven’t had the time to investigate very many niches. I mean, I have looked at a fair number of niches trying to find something that interests me and would also be a good niche.  So far I’ve found two possibilities.

One topic that looks interesting to me is that of Grape Growing and Winemaking. I used to live in northern New Mexico where there are a fair number of people growing grapes and making wine. In fact, one of my sisters and her husband have a small vineyard of their own. So I did some looking around on the web and found a site that gives some basics of homemade wine making. They even have a free 10-part MiniCourse Introduction to Growing Grapes and Homemade Wine Making so I signed up and am now on lesson 4 - so far its a really good course, much better than a lot of email courses I’ve sign up for in the past.

The second topic is would make my husband and sisters laugh if they knew - it is Barbie Doll Toys -Just like over 90% of little girls in the U.S. I spent Hours playing with my Barbies.  Then as I got older I learned to sew by making all kinds of Barbie Fashions. What sparked my interest was the fact that This year (2009) marks Barbie’s 50th Anniversary. Wow! 50 years of Barbie! You can read the History of Barbie here and a bit of Barbie Trivia here.
