ATLANTA (July 1, 2014)—Cultivating a niche market is not easy. Providers who dabble will likely not succeed, but those willing to put in the proper training and capital investment can establish a profitable business.
These niche markets may represent a side business, or in some cases they may blossom into the main business.
