Niche Marketing Is All About Finding Great Niches!

For those of you who aren't new to Internet marketing, you know it's a lot about niche marketing - finding areas of interest that aren't monstrously competitive. There are plenty of tools and well-known means of conducting niche research.

Looking through Amazon's "Best Sellers" lists will tell you what people are finding interesting. Ebay's "Pulse" gives great insight into "whats hot" in terms of consumer spending and buying.

Just going to any "super store" such as Walmart, browsing the merchandise, and you can get a feel for what's selling.

Well, beyond product-centric marketing, there are many "informational" niches that can be just as rewarding for affiliate offers, CPA lead offers, contextual advertising, etc.

Free CNA Training is an example of a niche that I looked into. People are hungry for information about CNA training, along with a thousand other purely-informational topics.

This one was a double-hitter: health care, which has great interest, and education. A similar niche I've explored is nursing. LPN nursing class also covers both education and the health care field.

You can even magnify the interest by going where people are when they start looking: Online LPN Nursing Classes!

These are just a few examples of niches outside the more traditional, and sometimes overcrowded consumer product marketing areas.

Spend some time thinking about what other people are thinking about. Not just what hot items they want to buy, but what they are truly interested in, area's of interest, hobbies, professions, careers, things they might want to study.

You'll open up huge new vistas of potential, entirely different markets for affiliate products, CPA offers, and all the other ways you might consider monetizing your web sites!

Internet Marketing, and "Offline Gold" with Consumer Product Marketing

I've been working with a number of small local businesses lately, what we in IM have dubbed "Offline Gold". This refers to the idea that we can take our online marketing skills and "cash in" helping offline business.

I had done a few sites for one of these companies to focus on some consumer products they're marketing. One is Pool Vacuum Cleaners which can get harder to promote as the summer ends. In fact, the second one, Gas Leaf Blowers picks up as the seasons change, to it's benefit.

The third one, Portable Propane Heaters, also benefits as the climate becomes colder.

Below is an interesting article I came across that had me thinking about the "countless opportunities" the online world has made possible.

Internet Marketing Solutions For Business
by Robert Doba

The internet is filled with countless opportunities and options for entrepreneurs to choose from. Even though there is the potential for great success, there is also a good amount of competition you are going to come into contact with. To help you make the most of your opportunity, here are several different internet marketing solutions to take into consideration.

As you begin to set goals, make sure you set short-term and long-term goals. You want short-term goals to assist you in realizing that you are making progress with your business, and long-term goals to always keep you striving for more.Always keep your mind open to new ideas. Like the universe, the internet is continuing to evolve.

The last of the internet marketing solutions to keep in mind is patience. Patience is a virtue you will need, if you are going to achieve your vision. Quite a few entrepreneurs anticipate rapid results. Although there are ads all over claiming you can get rich quick and make thousands in your first week, the reality is that it takes time and efffort. Do not get down on yourself if you have little to show for your efforts after the first few weeks. If you stay with it, your rewards can be great. The Internet industry is one of the booming industries of current times. It is expanding constantly, as businesspersons are persistently going online to promote their products and services on the web.

Below discussed are some of the well-known Internet marketing solutions. Search Engine Submission: You need to submit your site to as many directories and search engines as possible to attract massive traffic towards your web site. In addition, you need to optimize your site and list important keywords inside popular search engines to achieve better results.

E-mail Marketing: This form of marketing will inform your visitors about latest services and offers through emails. In addition, email marketing is quite popular and effective. However the principle difference in this case is not always the cost but the approach. You must decide if you want to take on the big guns or stick to a niche and do it well. Building a website is like buying a car not building a house; don't get what I'm getting at? Let me explain. If you were to build your own house you would need to buy the land, design it, have it built, decorate and put your furniture in.

So now you have heard the benefits of Internet marketing and Search Engine Optimisation as well as web placement and once you get those customers to your site, increase the sales and marketing potential of the site - once you get the visitors there it's up to you what you do with them.

Broadly speaking the content of your website will determine which marketing solution is right for you. You might indeed decide to opt for a selection of different tools to make the most of your website.

New marketing solutions are constantly being generated. Many businesses with a large internet presence are finding that they need to hire additional manpower just to cope with all the different devices and techniques.

Nonetheless, you should consider adopting internet marketing devices so that more customers can get to your site and walk into your shop or office ready to make purchases.

Affiliate Marketing - Never Too Early For The Holidays!

If you're an affiliate marketer, you know that the "holiday buying season" is the heavy sales time when you can make the lions share of your commissions.

So what should you be doing now? Well, this is exactly the right time to be setting up your product sales sites, working on getting them ranked, getting articles out there, etc.

If I think back to last Christmas season, I can recall some of the gifts I received, such as a Homedics Massage Chair, that can help stimulate ideas. What's hot, what are people going to be searching for and buying?

My brother recently had a baby girl, and I know one of the things him and his wife are consumed with is Baby Potty Training. Plenty of baby products to become an affiliate for and promote!

And thinking along those lines, I know my sister-in-law had been looking to get the best vacuum cleaner, and had been searching for Miele vacuums on sale. This is the sort of thing that should get your affiliate product brain percolating!

As an affiliate marketer, you should always be thinking of new products, and product categories to market into. Just imagine if you had latched onto the Nintendo Wii just when it was released, or Amazon's new Kindle reader, etc., etc.

In most cases, you can go to one of the major networks, such as Commission Junction, in order to find products, or to search for ideas. Some manufacturers have their own programs. Just go to Google, do a search on the product name, plus "affiliate" - or go to the mfg.'s home page and see if they have a link on their website.

These days, you can market virtually any product. And with all that money to be spend around the winter holiday season, it's never too early to begin positioning yourself.

It's much harder to "break into the pack" when the time is already here, so the work you put in today can have a huge payoff with a much lower effort!

Back - And Blasting Out A New Experiment!

Well, after quite a long absence from marketing, I'm back with a renewed plan and internet marketing strategy.

I'm beginning with something of an experiment. Part of the experiment involves testing to see how long it takes to get a brand new site up, indexed, and ranking in the SERPS. I'm beginning the 'test' with five new domains and sites:


Homedics Back Massager
Pool Vacuum Cleaners
Gas Leaf Blowers
Portable Propane Heaters
Atomic Wall Clocks

Of these sites, there are two .com TLD's, two .org TLD's, and one .info TLD. I've gone through just the very basics of on-page SEO.

Off-page SEO - meaning back link building - has consisted of a very basic campaign. I've submitted the first page of each site to Digg, Blinklist, added it to StumbleUpon, and used Onlywire to tag them to about a dozen more social bookmarking sites.

In addition, each site has 1-3 articles submitted to article directories including Ezinearticles and Goarticles.

I'll be watching and tracking the progress, meaning how long it takes each web site to get indexed, where in the SERPS the initial ranking is, and how long it takes for the other backlinks to show up.

I'll post my results here as I get them.

High PR, Page Rank Links Aren't All They Seem

One of the ways to get high PR, or Page Rank backlinks that many of us are familiar with is blog commenting. Blogs that don’t use the “no-follow” tag can 'pass on' some of their Page Rank to their links when you comment on them. It is often taught as an “easy” way to get high-value backlinks for SEO purposes.

In fact, you can get software just for that purpose. For example, Comment Kahuna is very popular, and very good at finding high-PR blogs.

However, most blogs with high PR have that Pagerank on their main index or home page. Sub pages will generally have much lower pagerank.

When you post a comment on a blog, chances are your comments aren’t appearing on the home page where that post is. And even if it is, it will likely “roll off” the home page long before you get any of the pagerank benefit of that home page.

Commenting, or blog posting is a great for getting links, and is a central part of my own strategy. Also, the net value that’s passed on from a high-pr blog will always be higher than that of a lower pagerank blog.

That being said, the fact is that that when you comment on a post that’s on the home page of a PR4 blog for instance, you aren’t getting the same ‘value’ that you would for that same link on a static PR4 page, and in fact might not be getting much value at all.

Blog commenting should be used as one component of your linking & traffic strategy. Just be aware that you may not be getting as much value as you might have thought.
