Niching Up

The Narrower the Market, the Bigger the Prize

By: Chris Dreyer

Narrated by: Scott Brick

Chris Dreyer didn’t begin his professional journey thinking he would establish one of the most successful SEO agencies in the country. In fact, he studied history in college and landed his first job as a detention room supervisor for a local high school (this wasn’t part of the plan, either). When his Google query, “how to make money online,” directed him to digital marketing courses, Chris found his calling. Soon his own sites ranked number one for “double chin,” “stained concrete,” and “acai fruit.”

The rest, as they say, is history.

Now, Rankings.io hits the top of industry lists year after year as an SEO agency for personal injury lawyers. The company is one of the best for a simple reason: Chris has found his niche. In Niching Up, Chris reveals the path to enduring notoriety and long-term profitability by way of a streamlined, specialized market focus. He debunks the myths associated with selecting a specific target and shares his stories of making it big by reducing his prospects. Sometimes success is about having the right mindset. Through Chris’s personal stories of lessons learned and how he’s learned them, you’ll realize that good opportunities come to those who simplify.

Unique approach to Market Segmentation

This book provides an innovative approach to market segmentation. The author chose to discuss the disadvantages and advantages of niching. By giving an overview of the disadvantages early in the book, it made his arguments easier to understand. Every entrepreneur should read this book. Even solopreneurs should consider whether or not this strategy will work for them. This book gave me a new perspective on my market and its opportunities.

Nothing amazing or mind blowing.

Powerful and balanced perspective

I value books and thought leaders that have actually lived the very thing they talk about rather than preach from theory only. As an entrepreneur and business owner I’ve always debated the pros and cons of niching vs broadening the business model and Chris’s experience and perspective was very helpful and powerful for me to consider pros and cons I haven’t even thought of before. I hope aspiring entrepreneurs find this book sooner than I did!

As a entrepreneur this book was solid for me 👌🏼

The author goes over specific concepts to consider before niching. I apprecciated the detail, wealth of information,and examples given. This is an audiobook I will listen to multiple times so I cam grab it all and reflect properly.
