Just been doing some niche research – Checking out Amazon and Ebaypulse give you many ideas on what are the most searched for items or products.
Both of these sites have a ‘Top 100′ sales list and should provide many ideas on what you adapt as your niche product to use on your website.
Niches number in the millions and increase every day with new fashions and products appearing all the time, so there is always plenty left to check out!
It is just about finding something that is not too popular, or there will be too much competition. Also, it must not be too obscure, such that nobody is looking for it either.
It needs to be in a Goldilocks popularity that is ‘Just right’.
They say that writing articles and submitting them to as many of the article directory search engines, will get you lots of exposure. Because each article directory will also have your website links and a ‘bio’ of you.
They ideally need to be 300 to 700 words and contain lots of content, but no obvious sales promotion. You may get away with including links for enhancing your article, but beware! – It does put readers off! – aim for 400 or so words
Don’t forget to try to give the reader what they want and don’t make it too heavy reading. An article should be light, humerous and informative, the latter being the most important.
we’ve always known about SEO or Search Engine Optimisation, but never really paid much attention to it. How wrong this can be!
You should regularly check your website details and check the ‘meta tags’ at the top of each webpage ‘source’ file (html file),to make sure you have good ‘optimisation’
Let’s do the basics:
Your webpage should have a ‘Title’ – Check the ‘title’ tag near the top of the page details, which in a few words, tells any search engine what your webpage is about.
These page ‘details’ can be found by simply right clicking in the blank background area on any webpage and selecting ‘view source’.
Then, make sure the ‘meta name’ description tells people a bit more about your site in a short sentence.
Also, the most important, the meta name ‘keywords’ are short phrases which you think people will search for in Google (and other search engines) to get to your page. Have about 4 or 5 of these phrases and don’t use just one word for any of them. Most ‘searchers’ will search using three or four words.
Every page of your website should have differences in these three categories.
I will have more posts on this as I get to grips with them myself!
True, but it seems that you can spend all your life learning about SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) in all its various guises.
Soon after you’ve done some webpage meta tag manipulation, you realise that you’ve only just begun!
It’s probably not useful just seeing what page and position you are on Google when you search for your particular ‘keyword’ – and remember that ‘keyword’ really means a ‘keyword phrase’ – a bunch of up to 4 or five carefully chosen words that specify what your website or product is all about.
I’ve just discovered ‘Pinging’ which is apparently quite important along with submitting your site to search engines either manually or paying for it to be done ‘in bulk’ for you.
Just remember, every little bit helps – don’t give up!
Yes, it’s easier said than done!
We buy various courses from internet gurus, supposedly make us financially free and then get distracted, by buying other stuff.
I suppose it’s human nature to be inquisitive or perhaps feel that we don’t want to miss out on anything.
I’ve realised that the best results are made by sticking to one ‘system’ or plan and not to get distracted.
Follow it through to the letter and learn from it. Focus on one goal – to complete the ‘course’ or ‘system’ that you have bought.
Fantastic! – I’ve just looked at my ranking in Google for my websites and I can’t believe that both of them are on the first page already – it just seems too quick!
By doing the few things that I’ve outlined in the previous blogs, I’ve increased my ranking no end – so you can too!
I’ve also noticed that by submitting your website to search engines manually (the free way!) – you get your site reviewed on various review sites as well!
Have a look!
I’m now on my way! – They say the easiest way, is to write an e-book and then set up a ‘Sales Page’ (Website) to sell it. Even better is to ask around and find a friend who already has written something on a niche topic.
That’s what I did. My friend Lauren allowed me to use her e-book on the menopause (couldn’t really say that I wrote it could I!). I’ve made up a ‘Sales Letter’ at My Menopause Website and a ‘Thank-You’ Page.
I had to buy the .com domain name and some hosting to go with it – I wanted .com as .co.uk tends to limit your audience to just the UK. I then listed my product at ClickBank.
The third an probably most difficult piece of the jigsaw is to drive traffic to the site. This can take many forms and is a whole book in itself. Let’s see what happens!
The best way to be successful with an internet business, is to build a database by giving ‘stuff’ away. This is achieved using an Opt-In page or ‘Squeeze’ Page.
You can then contact people that have ‘opted-in’ to your database, as many times as you like with relevant offers and products.
This way, you are contacting ‘targetted’ people who are likely to buy your product(s), rather than just random punters.
The ‘stuff’ you should give away should have some value, so should be of a good quality. Usually, an in-depth report on something or simple tips on a particular subject.
Create a webpage offering a free report or tips and include your opt-in form to capture their name and email address before you let them have the link to your free ‘stuff’.

As part of my internet marketing experience, I’ve written this e-book for the beginner to Foreign Exchange Trading or FOREX. It’s a really simple guide of what to do and what not to do to be a better FOREX trader.
I’ve wanted to share my knowledge so you could benefit from all the years of bad learning that I did! – Before you sign up to that £2000 course, just quickly ask yourself whether you are doing (or ‘not’ doing) the things covered in this book!
You even get a full guarantee, so if you don’t learn anything – it’s effectively free anyway.
