Find a Niche Easily

If you're in the make money online scene, you'd probably have read how "important" it is to find a niche with which to market. And if you typed in "ways to select a niche" you'd probably have found my previous post being ways to select a niche. :) And you'd probably have read that I'll be releasing a feed only post on simplified methods of finding a niche.



Well, some of you might think that its just a lame old ploy to get more readers / subscribers for this blog but hey, it isnt difficult really to just click on the RSS feed button to subscribe. Why? Because this post is exactly what lazy asses have been waiting for (yeah right. =.=). But nevertheless, like I said, the rest of this post is going to the feeds only. This is to reward my "loyal" subscribers and readers with some useful information.



To my subscribers, here's the information you have been waiting for since I see a DRAMATIC increase in my subscribership from 3 to 6! :) Not something to whoah about, but hey, its the little things that one has to "celebrate" about, otherwise, all motivation would be lost. ;)



So lets get started!



I'll basically outline the steps that I take to finding a niche. As you would know, there are thousand maybe more different ways of finding a profitable niche to market to. But here, I outline my very lazy way, that somehow, should find you your desired niche.



Step 1


Open up WordTracker's free keyword tool. STOP. Now many would be going to this popularly referred to link : http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/ as told by many make money online bloggers. But I just found out from somewhere (sorry I really forgot where so I cant credit you :( ) that there's an easier tool to use that eliminates some important steps.



Go to http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/gtrends Notice that you just have to add the "gtrends" at the back? For those who are having a clue, yes it is. Its Google Trends! So what is it doing over here at wordtracker? Well, apparently the owners of wordtracker have realised that people usually search for a certain keyword from wordtracker then go over to Google Trends to find out the search trends for Google.



So basically, whats important about this step is, you can search for your keyword on wordtracker(which uses overture if im not wrong) and get traffic estimation on both Wordtracker AND Google. Not only that, they would also provide you with the number of competitors currently present in Google for that certain keyword and advise you on whether that keyword is a good niche for you.



So do you understand? Well if you dont, let me summarise this step for you.

Summary
  1. Go to http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/gtrends

Yes that step is as simple as that! :) Now on to the next step.



Step 2


Enter a keyword. And when I say keyword, I dont mean keywords like "make easy money online". I mean keywords like "bikes". Just one word. Trust me.



GTrends Tool from WordTracker would then generate a list of other keywords related to yours, showing the daily amount of searches on Overture. Now, you'll notice there's a small bar graph icon to the right of your keyword? Yes, click on it.



Now, what's on screen is basically it. Your niche. What you're looking for is 2 ticks. One from the "Google Competition" and one from "Actual Visitors From #1 in Google/day". However, here's a tip. If you have like hundreds of searches from google but like 30 000 - 35 000, then go for the niche, that is, if you think the number of searches on google can make up for more competition.



You'll notice that they have links at the bottom of the graph with "your keyword" on google and also "your keyword" + affiliate on google. Now what more could one ask for? If its the right niche, then go ahead and start searching for affiliate products to market with! ;)


So do you understand? If not, lets recap on this step.


Summary


  1. Type in a keyword you'd like (1 word)
  2. Click on the bar graph icon to the right of your keyword to see the keyword's details on Google
  3. The keywords with 20 - 120 searches on Overture tend to make nice niches so take a lookout on those
  4. Pick your niche based on having both criterias ticked advisably, but if not, at least have the competition on Google low and the actual visits on Google to be high
Step 3

There IS NO step 3! Now now, isnt finding yourself a niche to market into easier now? Of course, other marketers might urge you to do more research like whether a certain keyword is just a fad, trend or a long term keyword.


You can combine what's been taught here with what you have learnt elsewhere and get highly likely profitable niches quickly and easily.



If you're not satisfied with the simplicity of this post, please do provide me some feedback. Thank you.
