How to Find Profitable Niche Markets and Low Competition Keywords

April 24th, 2011 by Software Rave | Comments Off | Filed in Internet Business

It is very important you learn and master how to find profitable niche markets and low competition keywords to target when building websites and blogs. That is the only way you can easily dominate niche markets and consistently make money online. There is more than one method of scooping niche markets ideas online but I will walk you through the most effective methods in this article and more in subsequent articles and in our free newsletter here.

You will agree with me that people who come to search for information on the internet want solutions or answers to their problems, needs and wants. Some may also want to gain knowledge in a specific field or market by reading up articles from the comfort of their homes.

Now if you can come up with as many “discovery keywords” list as possible which these information seekers are using to find what they want, you are half way into finding profitable niche markets as well as low competition keyword phrases.

You should be aware that majority of surfers use the search engines to find information online. When finding niche markets we can also use keyword research tools, whether it is the Google free keyword tool external or the awesome niche finder software, to know which markets these surfers have vested interest in based on the keywords they use. From there we will investigate further to determine if the search term is profitable or not.

Let’s get cracking on the basics or steps you should follow right away.

I am going to use Google free tool for this exercise. I highly recommend Niche Finder Software keyword research tool if you want lots of profitable niche markets to target in less time and efforts.

Log on to https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal. Here is a screenshot of Google keyword tool’s home page.

Let’s assume I don’t have any niche market idea in mind as I am conducting this market research. So I am going to come up with a number of discovery keyword phrases to start investigating which of the market(s) pick(s) my interest.

Some of these discovery search phrase include:

-how to remove

-how to repair

-how to fix

-where to buy/purchase/order

-etc

As long as you are creative, you can quickly come up with a variety of such search phrases especially when you think like an information seeker. But let me feed in the “how to remove” into the search field provided by Google and see what terms come up.

The result I got can be seen in the partial screenshot below. What is the search terms people are using to find the kind of information they are looking for?

Malware removal tool. The “malware” market.

Tattoo removal cream. The “tattoo” market.

How to remove blackhead. The “acne” market.

I think you are getting the drift from the above system of finding niche markets? It is as simple as you can think of!

If you have never heard of these markets before, the next task will be to first read up some articles on each of the topics to determine whether it is a market that you will be interested in.

You can also use the Google tool to know if it is a high paying niche by looking up the CPC (cost per click) or simply type your main keyword into Spyfu.com to view the average CPC.

Here is how to find profitable niche markets and low competition keyword phrases from this exercise. Select one of the search terms e.g. “malware removal tool”. We want to investigate one of the markets displayed by the research tool, i.e. the malware market and nothing else.

Quick Note: You can scan your computer or laptop for spyware and malware solutions by clicking here.

Copy and paste the keyword phrase back into Google search field. First, let us select the “search phrase match” option and then click the search button. I want results that include as many terms with the “spyware” keyword in there. The search volume you get for each phrase will tell you if the market is thin or large.

The next task is to check for any “buyer keywords” in the result. These are search phrases that will easily convert to sales for you when you provide content to your web site visitors.

Remember that your major goal is to provide rich, unique and quality articles content to your readers who want to get informed on a subject. Behind that you also want to make money where there is an opportunity to recommend a product or service that compliments your website content and adds value to your web visitors’ experience. Using buyer keywords is the easiest way to achieve that goal.

You can see that by conducting keyword research using tools and software, you are able to find niche markets as well. Your next exercise will be to check each of the selected phrases in the Google search engine to determine if lots of webmasters are targeting it and their authority in terms of page rank and backlinks.

How you will go about it is quite simple. Pick each of the search term and type it into Google.com within quotes as in the example below.

“malware removal tool”

What I am concerned about right now is the authority of each of the websites on the first page of Google for each of the search phrases. If there are 3 or more websites (especially on the first 3 positions) with page rank 4 and above, I will simply jettison that particular phrase.

On the other hand, a search term will pick my interest if web sites with page rank 3 or less are on the first page of Google’s natural search engine results page (SERP) targeting the keyword. I will only make sure that not more than 5000 websites are targeting the search phrase within quotes. This will give me the confidence or assurance that I can easily rank for the phrase in a relatively short period of time by building backlinks to my internal web pages.

Yes, I know surfers don’t use quotes when searching for information online. So why should I use keyword within quotes to conduct my market competition research? Well remember I am working from the angle of a webmaster vis-à-vis my competitors NOT a surfer this time around.

I want to know how many web masters and internet marketers are laser targeting each of the search term. I am not concerned at the moment with other webmasters who randomly mentioned the keyword phrase on the pages of their website content in no particular order.

As you can see from the above analysis, it is not difficult to know how to find profitable niche markets and low competition keywords as explained above. The only downside with this method is that it is time consuming and cumbersome if you are using the free tools available online.

What if you are going to be working full time on the internet, you want to work in as many niches as possible and make full time income as well? I bet you will certainly face a dose of stress and boredom that will be too much for you to bear!

That is why using Brad Callen’s Niche Finder Software is the best investment you can think of right away aside the time you will dedicate to your online business ventures.

Now that you know how to find profitable niche markets and low competition keywords, go ahead and watch the videos here and here.

How to Make Huge Profits Flipping Websites

Do you want to make huge profits flipping websites? Do you know that flipping websites business has come to stay on the web? Like bricks-and-mortar real estate, you build websites and put it up for sale for prospective buyer. You make your profits and then go ahead to wash, rinse and repeat.

There are obvious reasons why the business of flipping websites is so lucrative.

More and more people are coming online to do business. For one thing, people need extra income to augment their main income. For another, the global economic recession is forcing many companies to lay off some of their staffs. The affected staffs are quickly building up internet business as a stop gap. And to the best of my knowledge, it is the best alternative source of income in the present circumstance.

Yet another good reason why people are doing business online is because it is the business with the cheapest start up costs. With less than $50, a diligent entrepreneur can start a profitable business in a matter of days.

Aside the reasons given above, the business of flipping websites is booming for the simple fact that most people are damn lazy. Believe it or not, it is true. Some internet entrepreneurs that buy ready-made websites see it as hard work too much to bear constructing websites and filling it with content. With cash in hand, this category of people is willing to pay top dollars and you simply hand them the website. If you can build websites for sale, then you make money online effortlessly so to speak.

Also, I found out that smart internet marketers are always diversifying into a number of niches where they have done keyword research and found out there is money to be made. Because of time constraints, these internet marketers outsource site building to experts or buy outright those websites for sale that meet their needs.

From the above, you are rest assured that flipping websites is not a business that will die off easily. Yes, it is going to be very competitive because it has low capital investment (i.e. low start up costs) and no entry barriers.

However, to be in the lead in flipping websites, you must differentiate yourself with USP (Unique Selling Proposition), namely;

Build websites with unique, original and quality content i.e. articles and ebooks;

Use unique and exclusive website templates, pretty logos, fantastic photos, Wordpress blog themes that cannot be found elsewhere;

Offer and add unparalleled bonuses to your flipping package in order to make the offer irresistible. For example, offering free 1-2 months web hosting for the buyer, free website or blog transfer, etc; and

Establish customer support service to your buyers. More often than not, website buyers are internet business greenhorns. You must support them while they master the basics.

When you stack up the above USP in your favor, there is a higher chance of excelling in the business of selling websites.

To be profitable in flipping websites, you have to adopt some basic smart strategies.

Outsource the creation of unique, original and quality content at reasonable or lowest price. Personally proofread it to insure uniqueness. Thereafter, flip as many websites as possible and keep the profits.

Create your own content. Though you will not be able to flip many websites, the cost will be relatively low here. About 90% of the sale will be profits.

Use private label rights (PLR) materials or public domain e-books on unique blog themes or templates to enable you quickly flip many websites. The higher number of flips the more profitable you will be.

In flipping websites, there are two options open to you. The first option is to buy low and sell high. This is when you buy start-up websites with minimal traffic and revenue, re-purpose it and turn around to resell it.

There was a case of a guy I read in a post sometime ago who bought a website for $1,800. He re-purposed it and six months later sold it for $173,000. That is an unbeatable idea if you ask me! But that is smart business.

The second option is to build your website from the scratch. You register a new domain name or grab an expired domain, build a website or blog, upload content on it and then monetize it appropriately. You can watch the video below to get the step by step guide on how to make huge profits flipping websites.
