    What is a niche? Where do you cross the line for a niche?

    For example, tutoring is my niche. But is education? Is schooling?

    I'd call it coaching.

    You should just google what a niche is dude.

    Sure, your niche is education and schooling if you want it to be. Its what you want to target and give to your website visitors.

    tutoring is your niche but it has so may fields as you mentioned here

    niche means if web development is your area then u r using php development then web development + php is your niche.

    it also means if education is your area then ur powerful in maths then you take tutions or lectutres in school and education + maths is your niche.

    You can not cross the line for a niche

    Its up to you where to extend and where to contract...for e.g if you are an SEO provider then your niche is SEO but you also belong to internet marketing but don't belong to PPC Marketing though its can possibly be included in internet marketing.

    Niche is most commonly used with websites. It relates to a class of topics. For example, health niche sites.

    Before you ask, its pronounced "Neesh" and NOT "nitch" as most americans do! The word comes from the French and means "to nest". When it comes to Website niches, its the topic-category that your website is about, such as Gaming, Weight loss, gambling, gardening etc.

    A niche is more specific than a market, i'ts a smaller group of buyers in it.

    Niche is just a more specific market.

    Ex. "Dog food" is a niche of "pet food" and "expensive dog food" is a niche of "dog food", how specific you'll want to go is up to you.

    SO it is Education, Training, teaching (in whatever specific language or subject you do) are the ones. The same search is you do search on the net you will get lot of explanations, get the most important ones out in a sheet and go thru them, you will have a perfect idea of it. Cheers :)
