Picking the right market can make or break your Internet marketing business. Sometimes, people trying to get into Internet marketing often get stuck on this step, because they simply have no idea which niches are worth going into. After all, no one wants to spend months building a website that ends up with very little traffic simply because there is very little demand for the subject in question.
So, how does one go about finding hot niche markets? Some Internet marketers suggest selecting a niche that you are either passionate about or are familiar with. While this may come true in the end, the better way is to learn what people are truly searching for and base your online business around that. Determining the demand of a particular niche is the very first step.
One way to accomplish this is to leverage some free tools, such as the free Wordtracker keyword tool (freekeywords.wordtracker.com). Type in a search term and Wordtracker will return the amount of daily searches for up to 100 related terms. You want to pick a phrase that has a decent number of daily searches – any number 10 or more is worth considering. You may notice that the fewer number of words in a particular search term, the more searches it generally gets. Conversely, search terms that contain more words get less traffic, but are usually easier to rank for.
Then, go to Google (www.google.com) and type one of the search terms in quotes. In the upper right hand part of the search results page, you’ll see the number of pages indexed by Google that are exact matches for your search term. In most cases, when you are just starting out, try to focus on terms that have 20,000 or fewer competing pages when using exact match. Anything higher than this will require some heavy duty SEO to rank well.
Once you find that a particular subject that has decent search volume and relatively low competition, it’s time to go over to the Google Adwords Tool (adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal) to learn monetization potential of the market. Type in your term and see if there are many advertisers bidding for your search term. If there are a good number of advertisers, it suggests that there is indeed money to be made in your market. If there are no advertisers, the search term you’ve chosen may not be commercial in nature, and thus may be difficult to monetize.
You’ve now found a niche that has excellent search volume, little competition, and good monetization potential. Once you know how to find quality niches like these, you will be well on your way to earning some serious money online with niche marketing.
