What You Want To Do Is Find A Starving Niche

Business, Network Marketing.

Finding a niche market: breakthrough techniques revealed - finding a niche market can be a difficult task but it is the most important part in determining your success or failure in niche marketing. But how do you find a niche market that is hungry?


What you want to do is find a starving niche. - there are two types of niches. - the first are" untapped" niches nobody else has found yet. - the second are niches with many interested people. Yep, the second one. You can make money with either type of niche, but guess which one wins most of. the time? Most newbie marketers think they should find an" untapped" niche and dominate it. However, I have had much greater success tapping into the sub - niches of very popular and competitive larger niches than finding a niche market that is" untapped" .


In fact most gurus want you to believe that this is what you should do. - the fact is that the more people there are the more likely some of them will find you. A good keyword will have two qualities: - a lot of searches, - and minimal competition. That being said, your first step in finding a niche market is to make a list of profitable keywords, but what makes a profitable keyword? To help find these keywords I suggest using any of the free keyword tools below: wordtracker. google keyword tool. keyword discovery. You should then be given a list of 100 or more related terms.


Simply enter any broad niche search term like' work at home' for example and press enter. - you will probably want to focus on the long tail keywords or those that have three or more words in them. Make sure to put" quotes" around the keyword and then hit go. In a separate window or tab go over to Google and enter one of the search terms from the list into the search bar. The reason for using quotes is that this causes Googles engine to only bring back results that have the exact phrase you typed in. You will see something like this: Personalized Results 1 - 10 of about xx, xxx for( keyword) The number that you see where the x' s are is what you want to look at.


Now pay close attention to the upper right hand corner of the screen. - if this number is less than 10, 000 that is great and we definitely want to keep this for future use. If you can come up with a list of 20 - 50 good keywords then you have found a good size niche that you can promote to. You may want to consider making a separate list of keywords that have slightly above 10, 000 search results to add to your niche later on. Finding a niche market may seem like a lot of work and it can be at times, but the rewards are well worth the effort. Keep in mind it is almost always easier finding a niche market that is a branch off of a much larger already popular niche.
