The Simple Steps To Reveal Your Perfect Money Making Niche

By:


Picking the right or the wrong niche can make (or break) your business right from the start.

Even with the best marketing and advertising in the world the crocheted body warmers for camels niche isnt likely to ever be a goer financially, maybe Ive overlooked something, but Id be surprised if the sales started flooding in in their millions!

Picking the right niche for you is at the foundation of your online endeavours, but so many pieces of training deal with it in just a throwaway line.
Once youve selected your niche (sounds so simple and it can be if you know what to look for)

Its been the first stumbling block for so many people wanting to make money online and sometimes thats as far as some would be marketers have ever got.

So today Im going to show you how to turn what many would see as an obstacle into a springboard to really get things going.

If youre intending to make money online, it is absolutely essential that you ensure that there is money in the market you plan to sell to and you know exactly who youll be targeting Get this right and you have made the first, and arguably the biggest step in creating a highly monetising list!

It is absolutely key to identify exactly who you are targeting. If you already have a hungry market in mind, you will need to check that it can be as profitable as you think it is, or if youre starting from scratch, then Ill take you briefly through the basic process you need to follow to select the correct market.

First of all, if you havent got a market in mind, you may well want to select something that you already have an interest in, or if your mind is still a blank you can always take a trip to WH Smiths.

Why?

Well, an accepted rule of thumb is that if theres a magazine about a given subject, it stands to reason that there ought to be a reasonably large volume of people interested in that subjectBut a bit of common sense should always prevail too! (Weve all occasionally seen those really odd magazines with titles such as rare breed chameleons or cotton reel collecting and wondered who the heck reads them.

So a quick scan of the shelves should give you a few ideas (If you havent got the time to pop to the shops, you can always look on magazines.com or amazon.com/magazines for a list of titles, and get the ball rolling)

Then consider the three magic criteria:

Demand Are there enough people interested in this market?

Profitability Are these people willing to spend money on that interest?

Competition How many other people have got exactly the same idea as you..?

And there are a couple of free tools that I can think of off the top of my head that will help pin point the winners (and the ones to steer clear of) Just type in details of your chosen market (e.g. crochet, dog food recipes, car accessories or whatever else you can think of) and see how popular it is, and how often it is searched for and so on.
So here we go.

See if your niche idea is viable, using this free tool google.com/trends - remember what youre looking for are high search volumes (if you flat line the markets dead, and its time to look elsewhere).

Once you can see that theres activity and interest in your niche its then handy to find out exactly what people are searching for (which will also give you additional ideas of what they might buy), and find out if these people are in fact buying anything at all and if so what theyre buying.

To identify the exact words (keywords) people are searching for in your niche, type your niche into the tool at freekeywords.wordtracker.com and you will be presented with a list of the searches in your niche, with the highest volume first (note: wordtracker will limit the amount of searches you will be able to do for free, so choose carefully).

The next stage is to type those keywords into Google and see what you are presented with.

There will obviously be millions of results, but what youre looking for are the paid advertising entries in the shaded box at the top, and in the right hand column of the search results. (If companies are paying to advertise, the chances are theyre selling something).

If there are no paid results at all, then it indicates that nobody is selling anything to anybody in that niche (well certainly not online anyway).

In contrast a right hand column filled to the brim with ads will usually mean theres plenty of people in that niche (which of course means its a niche with activity, and great place to target, assuming theres plenty of potential customers to go around). However an ideal outcome to find would be just a couple of paid ads indicating that there is a market, but without too much competition.

Just a quick word on competition Theres nothing wrong with competition it indicates money is being made in that particular market, in exactly the same way you are intending to Although of course it is easier if potential subscribers and buyers search online, and only find just a few choices YOURS!

Remember, its possible you may have to consign a few of your first ideas to the bin.

Its not always a quick process and this is only to be expected, but I cant stress enough the importance of doing this part correctly.

Its far better to eliminate a duff niche right at the start Then when you do start to spend time and effort on the next stages of the process, youre definitely barking up the right tree and set to succeed in your chosen niche.
