Go niche, rather than trying to compete on price. They've been doing it longer so are likely better at it, and therefore could drop their prices even lower if they wanted to.

I totally agree. Going niche is also much easier if you have less resources. It makes targeting your potential customers much easier.

Find a niche and find how you can optimise any existing services for that niche. You can always expand beyond that later on.

Ed Dale's [30 Day] Challenge just started a few days ago. This is a free online marketing course aimed at beginners but it has some decent material for everyone. The goal is to identify a profitable niche in 30 days - big enough to have traffic, small enough that you can own the niche.
