Meditation niche

Are you thinking about starting a niche website about meditation?

This is a great niche to start a website because the followers of the meditation niche are very loyal. The target customers are extremely passionate about this niche and always have been. People already love all the benefits they can experience from meditation, so helping introduce them to this niche creates the perfect opportunity to make a very profitable niche website in meditation.

Highlights

Numerous benefits proven by credible studies
Many physical and digital products that convert well
Massive market growth estimates for the next 7 years

The story:

3 years ago I read a study about meditation physically changing the brain. It said something about increased grey matter. I didn’t know exactly what that meant at the time, but I was interested in being able to physically change the brain. Later I learned this increased creativity and focus.

Learned more about meditation and realized I did that as an athlete. Before football games, I would completely clear my mind so I could get, “in the zone.” The zone is basically an extreme focus and calm that makes the game slow down. I would also clear my mind for track. As a sprinter, you must be extremely focused because one tiny mistake could cost you the race.

Since I was already familiar, I started practicing meditation again and became addicted. It makes me feel extremely calm throughout the day and increases my focus. Increased focus means increased productivity, better workouts, better sleep, happier life. I can’t find anything else with that many benefits that can be done for free with no equipment.

What is Mediation

Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness, or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity – to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state.

Meditation has many benefits like decreased stress, improved focus, and more patience. The most basic form of meditation is mindfulness meditation, which is just clearing your mind completely and focusing on your breath. This act of clearing your mind is a skill that can be used throughout the day to keep yourself calm. That helps you keep yourself calm when you feel strong emotions like anxiety or anger.

Meditation was mostly a religious practice, but became more mainstream in the 60s, even more so in 2012. It was mostly practiced in Eastern Asian Culture by the most advanced monks. Meditation spread to the western culture and was embraced by many after the widespread benefits were proven by studies.

Now, an estimated 500 million people meditate worldwide. That number is expected to grow exponentially as more studies are being published showing the proven benefits. Also, children are starting to meditate as young as the age of 4. This new generation of young meditation masters will, no doubt, further the practice of meditation in the next 25 years.

What I like about this niche

So many things to like about this niche, I might just quit writing this post to start this site. Haha, I’ll finish it up if you promise to start this niche meditation site.

Let’s start with the numerous benefits you can gain from practicing meditation. Many issues can be helped or even prevented by just meditation. You also will find many high-level athletes, business people, celebrities, etc. support and advocate for meditation.

Another thing I like is, you can always find many studies proving the effectiveness of meditation. These high-level studies being produced by credible institutions give little to no room for anybody to argue not giving it try. Even if you don’t want to meditate, it’s difficult to, logically, find a reason why you wouldn’t.

Somewhat related to the first thing I like about this niche is the support. The followers of this niche advocate for it like a cult. So much so, that meditation is making its way into places like corporate offices, kids classrooms, and more. It’s always great when your audience promotes products for you.

I’m going to combine two points here. Meditation takes nothing to get started, but there is also a large amount of products to promote that convert well. You can literally sit on the floor and start meditating. But, most people will want a cushion, bench, or some guided meditations to follow along.

The market growth for the meditation niche is possibly the largest market growth potential I’ve ever seen. It makes sense though as I list out the numerous reasons why I like this niche. This is the best time to establish yourself as an authority, before the massive growth.

The last thing I’ll mention in this section is the opportunities to move into other sub niches. Included with meditation you can dig into yoga, hypnotherapy, botanicals, and acupuncture. These sub niches give you other markets to expand into, which give you even more products to promote. This also gives you an opportunity to create a completely new category by mixing the sub niches. Like, yoga with guided meditations. What about meditation while doing yoga and getting acupuncture? No? Is that too much?

What I don’t like about this niche

Nothing. I can’t find anything I don’t like about this niche. You could possibly say this niche is competitive, but with this insane market growth, that’s not a sound argument. I love meditation and I love this niche for starting a new website.

Niche pros and cons at a glance

Site Structure

I would structure this website to drive the visitor to a CTA which will hopefully grab their email address.

The homepage should be driving visitors to the CTA or blog posts.

The blog posts should drive visitors to other blog posts or the CTA.

I would experiment with different types of CTA, but I really like the thought of a meditation quiz. I explain a little more about my site structure in the following tabs.

Pages and Menu Setup

Home
Blog
About
Contact
CTA

Home

Homepage is set up to hit pain points of visitors suffering from things like anxiety, depression, lack of focus, immune issues, etc.

2-3 sections hitting the pain points of them suffering from issues.

CTA

Section explaining what meditation is and how it works to improve or solve their problems.

Section to address users objections to meditation. For example the most common excuse seems to be, “I can’t sit still long enough to meditate!”

Section for blog posts.

CTA

Blog

The blog will need to focus on thoroughly explaining:

what is meditation
Why meditation can help improve life quality
Products and resources to better understand mediation
Products and resources for meditation like guided meditations, cushions, books, etc.

About

Should be a typical about page explaining who you are and why you put together this website.

What is this site about, Why you created it, what you help people accomplish, who you are.

Contact

Regular contact page that people can contact you if they have questions. Not much content needed here. Just a small sentence saying, “Fill out the form to get ahold me.” Or something similar. And the form of course.

CTA

This can be a free resource to help the visitor get started meditating quickly with a free guided meditation. It could also be a resource of 10-20 things that will help them improve the quality of their meditation. I also like the idea of making a quiz called something like the, “What’s the best meditation type for you quiz?” Then, ask for the users email after the quiz either a ?gate? page or the results page.

Traffic Sources

Summary of why I chose these traffic sources

FB groups

These Facebook groups have large numbers of people interested in meditation. I like that these groups have a large number of people and are already focused on our niche. Quality will be your friend when posting in these types of groups so you can get a high engagement rate

https://www.facebook.com/groups/2219306494// Spirituality & meditation
https://www.facebook.com/the-mindfulness-meditation-group-147534125334151/ Mindfulness meditation

Forums

These forums get some traffic, but not much. These forums are worth browsing through and establishing yourself as a participant. These are the most popular ones. I couldn’t find very many meditation forums with much activity, but these are going to be the most passionate followers because they sought out another forum outside of social media.

https://everyday-mindfulness.org/forum/ Everyday mindfulness
https://www.dharmawheel.net/viewforum.php?f=45 Dharma wheel
https://www.spiritualforums.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=12 Spritual forums

Subreddits

You can find a few subreddits for meditation, but this is the most popular one. It’s very active and the only one worth targeting for promoting your niche site.

SEO

The meditation niche is fairly competitive for base keywords. However, you can find less competition when looking at more specific reasons to meditate. When researching the long-tail keywords, you can find many questions. People are asking how meditation can help them and for products to improve their meditation practice. Another great thing about this niche is, people are clicking through several pages of results. So, ranking on the third or fourth page for keywords can still get you some traffic. I’m finding this to be a common trend when looking into these alternative medicine types of niches. They just seem to have the most passionate followers.

Money keywords
