Hi Erik,

The low expense of digital media has certainly played a big role in the viability of certain niche markets. But I'd argue that niches have always provided good opportunities for beginning entrepreneurs. Smaller niche markets are often easier to serve with fewer resources and can be easier to market to without the expense of mass market channels. The difference probably is that many of these niches often had to be geographically closer in the past or easier to market to through inexpensive means like small newsletters, targeted sales letters etc. I think what digital media has done for the niche marketer is make it so much easier to gather a niche community in the first place without the need to rely as much on existing channels -- like specialty newsletters, associations and groups which have already gathered their own communities. It has made initial targeting -- actually finding your customers -- so much easier!
