How To Find Profitable Niche Markets For Any Product or Service

"How to Find Profitable Niche Markets for any Product or Service"

Many people who get online today focus on the wrong thing right away. Many of you do some basic keyword research and learn that the keyword your site is about is getting searched for a lot and you start designing a page around that.

This is what I call shooting yourself in the foot before you get started. Many people will build a site then spend the next year trying to get that site traffic competing with millions of websites and virtually get no where.

This recipe for disaster will happen to 90% of sites online so be glad you came across this article because we will show you how to avoid mistakes that kill the ability to make money and get you making money faster. That simply is the bottom line! Why do all the work if you are not going to make money. Niche Marketing is finding an area where lots of people are looking for information and finding very little results to there problem or need. You can simply step in and fill the need and reap the benefits.

Here is a list of things you will need to understand before doing research.

People do not search the internet to buy things. They search looking for information to a problem. If they want to buy something and they are ready to buy it they go to trusted catalog sites like Amazon.com or eBay.com. That means they are looking for information first and if they have enough information that will satisfy them that they have enough information to make a buying decision then they may purchase.

Understand How People look for things online ( They sometimes search for a topic related term first then they get specific) For example if someone is looking to lose weight they may search for weight loss and quickly realize they need to be more specific and then search for how to lose weight with green tea. So with these 2 important points considered lets talk about what this means to you and your website.

1) If you are selling a product or service you will need to educate your prospect enough before they will buy from you.

2) If you can find problem based keyword phrases that are specific or niche then you will be able to provide information that will lead to a sale because you can determine exactly what they are looking for and keep your reader focused on your sales copy.

The Supply & Demand Matrix

If you were to consider your websites foundation as 3 legs of a stool, if you are missing one of these legs the foundation will fall over. The 3 legs that you absolutely must build upon before attempting to sell online are these 3 things.

A) Demand is the amount of searches done on a specific issue problem or information wanted. (How many different ways are people asking for information about the same problem and are there a high number of searches? How much demand is there?)

B) Supply is the number of websites who are competing for this niche market. ( How many sites are focused and going after the group of key phrases that make up a niche problem or need if this is low you have a Niche Market Worth Targeting )

C) Credibility is the 3rd and most important leg your foundation must be built on. If we can find a niche that has a large demand and finding very little results or answers to the problem that they want to learn more about, then its easy to step in and fill that need. But only if you can sell the reader that you have enough credibility to be teaching them this information.
How to Do The Market Research to find a Niche When doing Market Research we start with a software called wordtracker.com this is a paid service but well worth the money. You need to actually be able to effectively determine what information the market is demanding and how does your product or service solve that problem or become the solution. Then you need to be able to easily see how many sites were competing for the niche. Then you will need to determine if people would pay for it online.

Step 1) Get online with Wordtracker.com
Step 2) Go into Keyword Universe
Step 3) Bottom left corner select the compressed database This database will give you the most variables so if you type in lose weight green tea it will give you a list of keywords that contain those words in any order.
Step 4) Type problem based words into the Popularity Search Box On The Right and look for link above all the words called “Click here to ad to words to cart. This part of the exercise is important you will want to be specific with a Problem type word + Topic + Action word and then think of all the variable words that mean the same thing. Example: Problem word ( How) + Action (lose weight) + Topic (Green tea) You will get all the variables of those words. Example 2: Problem word (information) + Action ( weight loss) + Topic ( green tea)

Step 5) After adding hundreds or thousands of words to cart click where it says Click here for step 3 and then select Competition search.Step 5) The Competition Search will analyze how many sites are competing for the key phrase. Only Select Google and then click proceed at the bottom.
Step 6) Open an excel spreadsheet and copy and past the list from word tracker into it. (note) it’s a good idea to just copy the first 3 results to start so you can format the page and be able to easily see all the keywords.
Step 7) Now at this point color code the keyword phrases by line with a highlighted color as long as the key phrase means the same thing. So all yellows mean the same thing even though they are different phrases they still want the same problem solved. I call this clustering like keyword phrases by meaning not by word. This is tedious but very important.
Step 8) Select sheet 2 on the spreadsheet after all words have been clustered with a color on sheet 1 and place all the colors together so you will see all the yellow then all the green then all the blue instead of the rainbow of color you saw on the sheet 1.
Step 9) Select the Niche that has the most potential and move it to sheet 3. Try to build a bigger list by being more specific and staying completely focused on that niche.

Is The Niche Viable?

At this point you will have a large list of keywords that all mean the exact same thing. You now have a potential Niche Market but you now need to see if the market is viable. “Will people pay for this online? Does your product or service fill this need?”

At this point we do a search for the most competitive keywords in our list and look at the competition.
1) How does the headline relate to the Niche?
2) What are they doing that you are not?
3) What Price are they selling the solution for?
4) What are they paying per click for that keyword?
You learn all these things by studying the competition of the sites ranking on top of Google and those who are in the sponsored listings on the right hand side. Then go to Overture.com and search for the keywords and see what they are paying per click. You can also do this by doing a competition search in wordtracker.com using overture instead of Google and you can see what people are willing to pay.

What are people saying about Competitors, Products or Problems?

Using Google Groups which is a link in google.com homepage you can do a search for the problems and not what people are saying. Then do a search for the actual solutions that are competing and not what people are saying. Then Search the actual competitor websites and learn a ton about what people want so you can prepare your sales copy.
What Have You Learned?

1) You found a large list of key phrases that mean the same thing.
a) Now you know if there is demand.
b) You now have a large list of keyphrases to buy traffic that will be 100% focused.
c) You can gauge your sales copy on the real issue.
d) You know exactly what keyphrases you can rank for on search engines with low competition.

2) You Looked at the Competition.
a) Now you know what they are offering
b) Yprices the pricesc) You know what they are paying for traffic

3) You looked at what people are saying in Google Groups.
a) You know what people like and dislike about the competition

c) You know what to say to your Niche Market!

Online surveys: A roadmap to reading the minds of your customer

What if you could read the minds of your website visitors?

You could sell them a product in precisely
the exact way they want to be sold!

The Internet is changing rapidly. I see people working like crazy to understand how to get traffic to their sites, yet many have no clue as to what is really important to your customer!

What does your visitor actually need to know in order to
make a buying decision.

Many entrepreneurs fail to realize that they may have an incredible product and even lots of traffic, but if you cannot read the mind of your customer you will not sell a single thing online.

Have you ever thought to ask?

A good way to learn how to get your market to buy is to conduct a survey of it. Find out how your market wants you to deliver the goods. Online surveys provide a fast, efficient, and flexible way to learn more about your customers and prospects. The speed of response and the flexibility of online surveys can quickly provide an online business with critical information.

You can literally do a test one day, then launch a product or service the next day, and be able to promote it while hitting the hottest buttons your prospect has been desperately looking for.
Why you absolutely have to survey your visitors!

1. Find out why your visitor came to your site, and what information they want. You have three seconds to relate to their problems with a captivating headline. Do this right and visitors will read every word of your sales copy.

2. To find out how to improve existing products or services, give customers what they have been desperately seeking and not finding anywhere else.

3. What other products do they want? Find out which products or information your customers would like to see you sell in the future. This will increase your back end product sales.
4. Find out how to improve your customer service. This will cut down on customer complaints and enable you to better resolve problems.

5. Find out how to improve your sales letters or ads. This will increase your sales, as well as your traffic and numbers of e-zine subscribers.

6. Find out what kind of articles or interviews your market wants to see in your free e-zine. This will raise your e-zines readership.

7. Find out what your competitors products or services are lacking. Give your market exactly what it has been looking vainly for.

8. Find out what kind of non-related products or services your customers would buy. This will help increase the lifetime value of your customer.

9. Find what percentage of customers would buy at different price points. This will help you see what price will make you the most money. Sometimes I sell at a higher price to fewer people and earn more than selling more for less.

10. Find out where your potential customers are hanging out. This will inform you where to market and promote your products.

What do you know about your site visitors?
E-mail your subscribers.

Do you have a list of e-mail addresses of your customers or prospects? Do you have a list of e-zine subscribers? If you have their permission, send them an e-mail survey to conduct market research. Sometimes people do not want to take the time to fill out a survey. To encourage them, offer a freebie if they fill it out. Some ideas are free e-books, free advertising, free reports, free Internet services, or a free e-zine.

Create A Contest

Hold a free online contest or sweepstakes and ask visitors to fill out a survey before they enter. Survey your visitors You can learn things you did not know about your business by surveying.

Create a pop-up ad that offers something free or at a discount if visitors take a survey. Maybe your customers buy your main product just to get the free gifts. Or, your visitors may think its too hard to navigate through your website. Or, you may find out that most of your customers make over $100,000 a year.

By acquiring this type of important information, you can improve your website, products/services, advertising, and marketing.

Use pay-per-click.

Many people are getting results extremely fast by directing traffic directly to a short sales page. Use a compelling headline that outlines all the benefits of a product currently in development, with promises to give the product for free when it is complete. After they have completed the survey, redirect visitors to an affiliate page that offers them what they originally looked for. This can earn you money and help you learn valuable information about your market, well before you develop a product.

Free Online Survey Tools

If you do not have an e-mail list or a budget to buy traffic from search engines, you could post your survey on appropriate newsgroups, forums and discussion boards. You could also upload survey software to your website, or use a free survey service on the Internet. Check out these free survey sites: http://www.coolsurveys.com and http://www.surveymonkey.com/ .

Controle Your Own Website

I use EMCON a custom website builder and Internet Marketing software to place surveys I create on surveymonkey.com into an iFrame and place it directly on my page. Have a look at this site to see a site we created for http://www.rideclub.ca/

10 Steps to Getting More Traffic and Converting More Clicks to Cash

In a sea of websites with millions of pages of content on any topic how does your web site stand out?

The following article will give you the secret to creating more traffic and converting more clicks to cash!

You are about to learn the principle Internet Marketing tactics that if your site does not employ it is losing out on thousands of dollars possibly daily or by the minute.

Here is a checklist of techniques and tools used to make money online!
Check off the things you do and see what your site needs to focus on.
The Foundation:

__ Domain Name:

__ Hosting:
__ Website:
__ Web Content Management System:
This is where most people stop...

Traffic Generation:
___Step #1 Keyword Research Strategies:
Understanding what keywords the majority is using to find goods and services such as yours. If you have placed words on your site that you want to rank for in search engines without first finding out exactly what people are using to find goods or services you offer is like shooting yourself in the foot. Use a keyword suggestion tool to establish what words people use to find your offer. This is the first step to maximizing your traffic potential. www.wordtracker.com , www.thememaster.com

___Step #2 Search Engine Optimization:
Search engines are where the most targeted traffic comes from. When you want to find something online what do you do? You type in a search term or a word that relates to what you want and the search engine gives you a list. These listings are made up of both paid for and free listings but every single listing on the top are related to exactly what you were looking for.

Write a catchy headline that contains the target keywords and encourages the reader to read on. Think about the headlines used in newspapers or magazines that get your attention and get you to go inside.

Writing keyword focused content: A simple guideline to writing keyword focused content is to use the 2-1-1 rule this means write the target keyword 2 times in the first paragraph 1 time in the second paragraph and 1 time in the 3rd paragraph. Keeping the target keywords as close to the beginning of each paragraph as possible as this is where most search engine create the truncated descriptions you see in the search engine results.

Use themed keywords or synonyms of your target keywords throughout your content to support the target keywords and to let the search engine know that the content is good relevant content for searchers.

Try to avoid too many images, flash or java scripts on your pages as search engines dont see this as content and some things can't even be read by search engines so it may look very pretty but it wont matter if people can't find you. Make sure the links to your other pages are text links and not images as well because the search engine will follow text links but wont follow Image links, java script links or Flash buttons to your other pages.

This technique alone will help your pages rank for keyword that get traffic however if the keywords are very competitive meaning they are very highly searched for then you will need to get links pointing to your website from other websites and directories to get on top of the most popular search engines online.

___Step #3 Increase your link popularity:
Links on other sites and in directories will supply you with a constant stream of traffic. The most important reason for link exchange is to rank on the top of the search engines for the most competitive keywords. Search engine rank you higher if your site is found on sites with a lot of links pointing to them.

Create a blog and write articles in your blog with links to your site from keywords that you are targeting to rank well for. Create a podcast out of your articles that you blog and submit it to itunes.com Then One of the best techniques to get links to you is to submit alreadyrwrittenriten articles to artdirectoriescties and business directories that are located in other countries. google.co.uk, google.au, google.ca etc.


___Step #4 Pay Per Click marketing:
This is the fastest way to get traffic instantly most companies need to do this while waiting for search engines to rank them on top (up to 3 months or more). Without traffic there are no sales. You only pay for traffic you receive. A good resource to learn more about this is www.payperclicksearchengines.com

___Step #5 Join an Affiliate Marketing Network:
Affiliate marketing is donWebmastersters who build sites and optimize them for search engines to send traffic to e-commerce websites in return for a commission on sales. By joining a network your products and services can be sold on thousands of websites and you only pay when a sale is made. Its also a great opportunity to build multiple streams of passive income by promoting other peoples products through email marketing or site building. www.cj.com , www.linkshare.com

___Step #6 List Building for Email Marketing:
If you are building an email marketing list you can easily get people back to your site, sell new product releases & promote related goods and services instantly. Giving things away free help you build a list fast. Use www.download.com to find free things to give your readers and start building your list.

Traffic Conversion Tools & Techniques:

___Step #7 Testimonials:
Make sure your site has lots of testimonials this ads credibility and helps others relate to customers concerns.

___Step #8 Money Back Guarantee
This really helps reduce the risk of buying and lets the customer feel that they are safe investing in your products.

___Step #9 PopupPopup:
A modal popup can not be blocked by popup blockers it is used for the following reasons when someone exits your site that means they already left. It will pop up and offer a better price from a buy page. It can pop up and offer financing, It can offer something free and allow people to enter into your list. It can pop up and ask customers why they are leaving. We find we convert 10-20- even 30% of our traffic that already left to either enter into our list or convert them to a sale.

___Step #10 Expireable Links, Timed Promotions:
Having a sale on your site with a deadline of when the sale ends will encourage people to take action quickly. We find that 90% of our sales come in right at the end of the promotion time.

Each and every one of these techniques can be utilized using EMCON a custom website builder & Internet Marketing software all built into one. I have over 30 sites and using EMCON its super easy and fast to manage and market my sites from any online connection.

Ryan Atkinson "The Hottest New Speaker on Internet Marketing!"

My name is Ryan Atkinson

I am an Internet Marketing Strategist. I do consulting work with small medium enterprise. I got started doing this type of work after working for a company about 10 years ago as a search engine optimization specialist. Since then I was so excited about what I learned I decided to purchase a web design company called http://www.galaxyinteractive.net and convert it to
"web site design with marketing in mind". This quickly became our USP or unique selling proposition.

My Passion was always Internet Marketing so I continued to learn all aspects of marketing a business online. The website design was just a starting point. I think I became interested in a web site design company because so many web site design companies had no clue as to how to actually build a website so that it would be rankable on search engines.

Over the years of designing sites that rank well on search engines for the best keywords I realized that many of my clients were still not doing well. The single most contributing factor was that after spending money on web site design they did not want to keep the web site up to date because it cost money. The catch 22 was they did not want to spend more money unless the site started making them money.

If a website has a page that contains a special or products that are no longer available at those prices and a customer calls or places an order they will very quickly become annoyed and feel that that company is not reputable to deal with. So simply not keeping a site up to date actually works against a companies reputation.

Other factors that make websites not earn money is the misconception that a website is a transactional system where people come and buy things. I call this "Field of Dreams Marketing" "The Build it and they will come mentality!"What people fail to realize is that people search for information way before they are ready to buy a product or service. So the key is to find a way to communicate with people and educate them first and if you have done it properly they will seek you out and buy from you.

The way the most successfully websites are making money is by offering a free report or information they should have before buying and then following up with automated email responders that would automatically educate your prospective buyer. This is accomplished via opt in email system with auto responders. This can also be accomplished via direct mail however its a lot more expensive.

The key to making money online is having the right tools to get the job done and waiting for webdesigners to get it done is costly and time consuming. I also found that it disrupts the creative energy a marketing person has as they cant easily put the ideas into action so no action ever happens. I decided to do some surveys and see if it was just a few people or many people who would like to find a solution to this issue.

It turned out that 95% would love the ability to add content and keep the content on there website up to date in real time. Many of my clients liked to place articles and post recent news and reports on the site and felt that waiting to get a webmaster to place it there was simply taking to long. 92.5% said that they would like to optimize the website to rank on search engines if there was way they could. 90% said they would like an email marketing system that would educate there prospects.

Then someone asked me what they called the million dollar question. "How can you do everything you do now for less money and offer it to the masses?" The answer to this question is what inspired me to create a software called EMCON an Electronic Marketing Console hence the name EMCON. This software was my answer to allowing non technical marketing minds to make money online.

EMCON is more than a custom web site builder that will allow you to custom design a website from scratch. It has all the components of a Content management software and it was built so that people could log in from any online connection and manage an online business. EMCON has many components that allow the user to market an online business without the need for a technical webmaster.

EMCON took me 3 years to develop and has changed my life completely. I still have a team of web designers and technical staff to build websites but many people simply use EMCON.
