Criteria 3 Criteria People in the niche must be hungry for your service – they must really want it. Criteria 5 Do you already have a track record in this niche? Have you trained brides-to-be before? Are you able to get them to sing your praises in a testimonial? One thing that’s great about this niche is that it’s really easy to get great testimonials to use in your marketing. “Before and after” pictures are a very powerful persuader. So you can imagine the contrast between the picture of the overweight bride-to-be, and the gorgeous, glowing bride on her wedding day. Envy and desire are hugely powerful motivators!
