Practicality in niche selection

Another of the P’s is practicality. You may want to create the world’s best SEO site, but you don’t know anything about SEO. Well, all I can say is you are too old to believe in fairies! I am not saying don’t dream big, if that is your aim, but put it on the back burner.

Get two sites up and running and earning a $100 a day each and then outsource your dream.

However, for the moment let’s get back to the real world. You need to be able to have the interest to research what you need to know. It does not mean that you have to be an authority to start, just enough interest to be able to know where to get the information you need.

If you are not sure, then go here to find out how to become an authority The video is about half an hour, but it is the only research resource you will ever need.

So you need practicality, because if it is not achievable, then you are setting yourself up for failure before you start. If you cannot isolate and engage your target audience, you will never make a sale

The Five P’s Of Niche Selection And Profitability Part 1

by Internet marketing for seniors team | Oct 5, 2016 | Niche Selection

To misquote George Orwell, not all niches are created equal. Some are more profitable than others. In the short term, the long term, the holiday period, or in the season. Some are more profitable because the Adwords cost is about $50 and therefore the Adsense potential is very high. The Five P’s Of Niche Selection And Profitability will help you choose a profitable niche.

So Let’s see what the 5 P’s of niche selection are and why you should aim for as many of them as possible.

• Passion
• Profit
• Practical knowledge
• Pain
• PLR

What Does Passion mean in the context of affiliate marketing? It means that you are interested in your topic and can find a sustainable amount of subjects to write about to prevent boredom setting in.

Is it imperative?

Yes, it is for me because I found out the hard way what happens when there is no passion. I had a look around at niche marketing and in those days niches were top level domain niches.

I concluded that acne was a profitable niche and there was no real product to sell. Consequently I spent four months researching how acne could be cured by diet alone. I wrote the definitive acne cure diet, as a product. Then I came to write the website content. After five articles I knew that it was not going to go anywhere.

I was bored and tired of the subject. I did get out of it, and it did do me a lot of good, but it was a steep learning curve.

400+ articles

I had to outsource 400+ articles, and I had to get them proofread as well, I could not even face reading them. Now there are people who say that you can’t outsource articles and retain control of your content.

I have never heard so mush tosh in all my life, anyone who thinks that has never outsourced content.  First of all, I did my keyword research diligently, and then I drew up a prototype for each article.I didn’t just jump in and outsource 400 articles to one person.

The prototype I think went something like this. Mention the keyword in the first sentence and then tell them what the article was going to say. Have an introduction of one paragraph with the keyword in. A five or six paragraph article body and an end with the keyword in once, then a summation of about 100- 150 words to recap on what you have just told them.

Don’t try that anymore it no longer works but at the time that was more or less the structure of a good converting article.

I had to Outsource

So the lesson here was I learned to outsource, and I am still an outsource manager today as my Linkedin profile shows. I eventually could no longer maintain the website or even be bothered with it, but I still had a fantastic product. So that was another learning curve, I had to find out to be an affiliate manager. I still do that today, and it taught me how to keep a product in the top ten of the product list for Clickbank for over three years.

So yes without passion you can make a profit but be aware that to be successful you need to outsource.

Most people who make a permanent living online do outsource. There are several reasons for this. Sometimes, something just doesn’t float your boat interest wise. It is cheaper to outsource them than to waste your time doing the work. There is too much to do especially when you have multiple domains.

So yes unless you want to learn to outsource immediately then passion is a definite plus in niche selection. I can tell you because I learned the hard way that it is better to do it yourself and learn exactly the system for your business before you outsource anything!

The second of the P’s Profitability.

To be fair, most niches that exist in the real world also exist online or digitally.Sometimes a target market or demographic are not always conducive to business (If you don’t know the difference between these two read here ) For instance the crochet patterns for teapot covers may not be a great niche, but hey it would not be in the real world.

What you need is a hungry market

The late great Gary Halbert was renowned as one of the best salesman of his time i not ever. When teaching a class one day he asked his students what advantage they would want from him, if the two of them were in competition to make the most hamburger sales. The answers were varies

“superior meat.”
“better price.”
“lower price.” etc

Eventually, Mr. Halbert could stand it no longer, and he burst out that his advantage would bet them all, hands down every time.

His answer was a hungry market!

So how do you find out if it is a hungry market?

To have a hungry market it must be an evergreen niche that always has people wanting to solve problems and if Amazon has a book written about it or the Dummies series has a book about it, or is is a magazine on your local new stand then there is already an established market.

Niche Ideas 2017

by Internet marketing for seniors team | Sep 10, 2016 | Niche Selection

Now is the time to start thinking about researching niche ideas 2017. I have noticed several trends over the last few months, and these are some of the ideas that I will be implementing in 2017. As many of my regular readers will know, I also work in the health niche.

I am planning as of now to build a new niche site about this product. During 2017, I shall also be incorporating recipes into my other health sites because the term has a great AdSense revenue. As a result of this, my Adsense revenue will increase.

Matcha powder
Matcha powder first came under my radar about three months ago. I was in the Japan Centre in Piccadilly Circus in London. On the shelf was a small green tin which cost over £7.00.

I was intrigued as to what it was. Further research showed it to be a type of green tea. Green tea consumption began in China under the Divine healer Emperor Shen Nung nearly 5000 years ago.

Japan has got one of the highest rates of cigarette smoking in the world and also some of the lowest rates of cardiovascular disease and lung cancer in the world.There is some medical evidence that this dichotomy is down to the large amounts of green tea and matcha green tea that the Japanese consume. As early as the 11th-century green tea was described it as the ultimate mental and medicinal remedy which can make one’s life more full and complete!

Some people have also argued that matcha green tea has a thermogenic effect which means it increases the amount of energy the body burns off. In layman’s terms, it means it aids fat loss! Now if that doesn’t make my brain think of loads of niche ideas, I don’t know what will!

Matcha green tea is different from ordinary green tea in that green tree is grown in full sunlight. The Tea Matcha, on the other hand, is grown in very shady conditions and then ground to a very fine powder. These finely ground leaves are absorbed and dissolved in water, so matcha green tea is not drunk it is ingested, which increases its health benefits.

Matcha green tea has also become very popular in the trend towards juicing especially green vegetable juices. As an ingredient Matcha, green tea is green tea on steroids.

Amongst its many health benefits, matcha…

• Is packed with antioxidants including the powerful EGCg
• Boosts metabolism and burns calories
• Detoxifies efficiently and naturally
• Calms the mind and relaxes the body
• It’s rich in fiber, chlorophyll, and vitamins

Matcha tea is an easy and straightforward way to add powerful health benefits to your everyday diet.

Matcha Powder trends

Matcha power is not as popular as it was in 2014 but it is still showing a healthy increase in trend. There has been an increase in the number of Matcha products. As well as the tea physical products such as books can be promoted as well.

These keyword ideas are colour-coded. Green is all steam ahead. It is easy to rank for without much competition, and there is a healthy search term for Matcha powder and Matcha green tea. As a keyword idea, it looks pretty easy to rank for very quickly.

It would be very easy and quick to rank a niche site dedicated to matcha green tea or matcha green powder. It follows it would also be easy to incorporate the keywords into existing recipe sites; cookery utensils sites et cetera.

Matcha Products for Sale On Amazon

There is a healthy number of matcha green tea or matcha green powder products over $20 on Amazon.

It’s relatively easy to think outside the box when thinking about products related to the matcha green tea niche. There is a broad range of cookery books which will fill the bill.  Both Japanese and Korean cuisines use matcha powder extensively.

Choosing a Niche

by Internet marketing for seniors team | Aug 22, 2016 | Niche Selection

Choosing a niche is an important decision, but it is not one that you should spend weeks agonizing over it. The reason I say that is because most niches can be profitable!

Not all Niches are Equal

But like animal farm, where not all pigs are equal, niches are the same. In my view you should be looking at the how to make money niche because there are just over 8 billion people on this planet, and let’s say about 6 million of those are adults. 6 billion individuals who want to earn more money. Before you shake your head and say that can’t be correct, ask yourself how many people do you know that think they have enough money!

If you only get 1% of those people interested in the products that you are recommending that is 800,000 people. Do you think you could make a living talking to 800,000 people every week?

Now some niches are great because there is only one problem and one solution an example would be acne. People have acne, and if they cure the acne, there is nothing else you can sell them. In the moneymaking niche on the other hand even if people are satisfied with a method of making money they will always want more money.

Choosing a Sustainable Niche

To build a successful online business it needs to be sustainable, and that means a learning curve. You can learn about your niche as you go. The easiest way to build a business is by following the experts. The experts, in this case, would be the community at wealthy affiliates.They teach you how to blog; that is how to build a blog and also how to write great content. During that learning curve, you can be learning about your niche and if you decide that it doesn’t float your boat and what the heck you change your niche.

Many people will tell you it is important to be interested in your niche. It’s really not that important. I am not saying that you can’t make money out of your hobby. In most cases, you can. Trainspotting or model trains is an excellent and profitable niche.

However, there is more to setting up a profitable niche building site than throwing up a few blog posts, willy-nilly. If you want to have a blog, that makes real money it needs to have a certain amount of planning.

The world’s Finest Internet marketing training

I can’t be certain that Sarah Staar and Wealthy affiliates have the world’s best Internet marketing training, as I have not personally tried every product out there. However, I have bought a lot I have bought courses up to $10,000 and spent a lot of money on my Internet marketing education.

I still keep coming back to Wealthy Affiliate’s I joined nearly ten years ago and have never left. There teaching is fantastic for choosing a niche and implementing the planning stages of a blog. It is an intense course and leaves nothing out. It is literally a paint by number solution.

However, it relies on organic, or free traffic methods. nothing wrong with that it works, and it is sustainable. There are occasions when you want to kickstart a blog, especially if it is your second niche site. You have gone through the learning curve and you know it will be months before you start to get any meaningful free SEO traffic. You don’t want to have that trickle to start (It will become a river in time) but you want fast results.

Fast track your Profitability

For these occasions, I recommend Sarah’s five FREE videos, her how to be an affiliate marketer course. Sarah Staar is the most profitable Internet marketer in the UK she has an arsenal of her own high-quality products. Her teaching methods are down to earth. She has created in those five free videos a blueprint which if you follow it correctly will be super profitable.

Your launch plan will have to include traffic strategies. If you need to improve your traffic then this free ebook 101 free traffic sources will help you draw up a plan.

Before you create a blog you need to figure out your niche and draw up a launch plan. It’s essential to know what topics you’ll write on and understand where your traffic will come from. It is always useful to learn exactly how you are going to monetize your site when the time comes. Sarah’s training is crucial here, and she also covers how to set up your email list.

Wealthy affiliates has your back as regards the themes, the plugins and the social aspect of your blog. The free account covers the basics of how to set up your blog. It covers the aesthetics, the mechanics of how to get your blog looking just as you want it to.

Monetize Your Blog At the Right Time

What is also an important part of their training is the fact that they will tell you exactly when to monetize your site. There is no point in adding any links to your blog when the site has not been indexed by Google. Being indexed means that Google recognizes that it exists.

If you choose to be an Amazon affiliate in your niche site then there is absolutely no point in monetizing your blog early. If you do not get your first sale in a number of days, then Amazon strips you of your affiliate status. Granted you can reapply later, but that is a hassle you really don’t need.

If you follow Wealthy Affiliate’s training in conjunction with Sarah, you are armed with the knowledge to make an epic blog with exciting, vibrant keyword rich content that will reward you with an income for years.

They will love to leave a comment and interact with you. Which is one of the ways you build your tribe?
