Step #9 Start an Internet Business w/etc. Finding your niche in marketing.

   It’s common knowledge in the internet marketing business that Health, Wealth and Love are the top niches and generate the most sales. Why? because they have so many facets. Start with health; there is: How to stay healthy, how to get healthy, how to eat healthy, how to exercise healthy etc. Wealth runs the same gamut: How to get wealthy, how to stay wealthy, how to invest, how to buy real estate etc. And love, well that’s the biggest of all. There is dating, marriage, baby, college, retire, breakup and divorce, etc.
I even wrote an ebook and audio book called DIVORCE-The Middle-Aged Man’s Survival Guide, Here’s the link: http://amzn.to/19N2tQi

   The point is those niches are filled with affiliates who are highly experienced and already know which one to go after and which ones won’t convert (sell). If you’re new at this you probably don’t want to cross swords with the heavy-weights just yet. So 
   
   I’m going to show you a way to test out niches to see if the is a market for what your selling or not.

   For example, I’m a writer and so I went to www.google.com/trends and found out the level of interest there was in what I produce and sell, which are ebooks and audio books.

   Here’s the level of interest in ebooks:


Here is the level of interest in audio books:

    Both are doing well so apparently it’s a good niche for me to promote.

    As for what you might consider, here is a video by internet marketing guru Travis Sago where he explains exactly how to check the niche you’re considering for the level of interest and potential customer base.


   We have a nice long Memorial weekend ahead and I’m sure you all have things to do and people to see so I won’t publish step #10 until Tuesday.

   In the meantime, when you get the chance, review steps 1 through 9. You have all the basic information you need to start making money as an internet marketer. What you need to do now is start practicing.  

   So here’s a quick guide:

Set up your business email address

Chose a niche

Test that niche on google trends following the video tutorial above


Check out the products and find something you want to market.

Set up a free account on www.usfreeads.com so you can write ads to sell the product

Set up account on www.ezine.com and www.goarticles.com so you can write an article promoting your product (*NOTE ezine will not let you put a link inside your article. There are ways around that, that are acceptable but more on that down the road)

Create a headline for your ad and article that will attract the most amount of viewers. There is a video that will show you how to create laser targeted keywords in the title that will drive traffic directly to your ad or article. Here’s the link:

   There are a number of other ways to attract customers to your products other than writing ads and articles but this method is the simplest, cheapest and the quickest to master. As we move ahead I’ll show you more advanced techniques but for now, study the basics, get your feet wet and get a sense of what you’re doing. There is A LOT of money to be made BUT you’ve got to find your own way by figuring out what works, why it works and how you’re going to promote it.


    I’ll likely be beering and barbequeing it over the weekend but I still check my email so if you have a question or run into a problem with the above email me at czarrichards@gmail.com and I’ll get back to you ASAP.
