Niche marketing is a term you will often come across mentioned on
online chat rooms and forums in connection with ways to make money
online. Basically, niche marketing refers to a segment of a market where
there are opportunities to sell to people with specific interests and
needs. A niche in the market can be a relatively untapped and
moneymaking resource because there are more purchasers than sellers or,
in other words, fewer competitors for your business. The following text
is about how to build a profitable niche marketing business.
The
initial step in identifying niches you can turn a profit from is to
perform some market research and there are web sites on the Internet
that make this relatively easy. By going to the ClickBank and Amazon web
sites, for example, you'll quickly realize that there are a wide
variety of possible niches you can research. They have made this simpler
in the way that they have many different categories and you can also
oftentimes see what is selling well. You will want to note down several
of these products so that you can refer to them when you would like to
go on to the next phase of your research.
Once you have several
prospective markets to investigate, you need to start to do some keyword
research to find out if there are niches you can compete in and that
have the potential to generate you some money. Tools to help you perform
keyword research are numerous, some free and some you pay for, but the
free Google keyword tool is just fine when starting out. The chief aim
in keyword research is to begin with broad category words and
progressively drill down into longer key phrases that still have a
reasonable search volume. Oftentimes these 'long-tailed' keywords will
have less competition and are the ones you should be aiming for in your
niche market.
The way to check on the amount of competition for
your selected keyword phrases is to type the word within quotation marks
into the Google search bar and hit enter. You will then see the number
of search results returned for that term and this is also the number of
web sites you will be competing against. Evidently, you don't want too
much competition for any of your keyword phrases. Some of these longer
key phrases will be the names and model numbers of certain products
which are search terms used by people who are about to buy rather than
those merely searching for information.
The important initial step
of market research is done and now you can make a blueprint for your
new site based on the keywords you have selected. A quick and direct way
to create a niche site is by using the WordPress blogging platform for
which there are many no-cost templates and plug-ins. If available, you
should pay for a domain name that contains one of your keywords or
phrases which will help to get your site rank high up in the search
engines. Don't use brand names because this may lead to issues later on.
