Niche Markets for Big Profits
By Troy Berlin MentorMindset.com
f you've ever marketed a product,
service, or opportunity then you're probably familiar with
the concept of finding a Niche Market. The
question is how targeted is your niche market, and is it
as targeted as it could be?
First, let me explain the reason that you need to know your
niche market. You see, it seems that everywhere you turn, both
online and offline, someone is selling something. The way to
be successful in your marketing efforts is to market your product,
service, or opportunity to people who actually want what you
have to offer. By marketing to people who want what you have,
you'll cut your advertising expenses dramatically, streamline
your marketing and advertising efforts, and increase your profit
margin greatly.
So how do we find our Niche Markets?
To find a niche market, we must first understand that the
internet is based on a concept called Keywords. All web pages,
pay per click advertising, online articles, and press releases
are indexed and presented based on keywords. This is how we
find what we are looking for on the internet.
For example, if I'm looking for widgets, I'm going to type
widgets in my favorite search engine and see what comes up.
The first thing you'll see are the standard search engine results
that are all based on the keywords you have typed in. You'll
also see sponsored advertising on the right side of the screen
that is based on keywords. This of course depends on the search
engine you are using, but most major search engines have some
sort of sponsored pay per click programs.
Keywords are simply what the internet is based on. If you
know what keywords to target, you can find anything, or anyone
that you want.
How does this apply to you as a marketer?
Simple, keep your keywords in mind. The first misconception
is that there are only a few keywords, or niche markets that
will work for your product or service. The truth is that if
you don't have at least 200 to 500 keywords for your product,
then you're probably missing out on potential sales. This is
especially true if you are doing any type of pay per click
advertising or working on search engine optimization.
The easiest way to find hot niche markets is to use a tool
called Good Keywords. There's not a cost to use this tool,
but it will significantly boost your sales by using it to do
your keyword research. Download Good Keywords at www.goodkeywords.com.
Now type in your general keyword into the Good Keywords program.
For example, let's say you're marketing shoes. When you type
in shoes, you'll see a huge list of related keyword searches
and the total number of times each phrase was searched in the
previous month. We see the term shoes at the top of the list
and we see that shoes were searched 751,318 times last month.
By scrolling down through the list you'll see many other phrases
that you might not have been aware of. By understanding what
people are searching for, and how many are searching each month,
you'll be better prepared to do your advertising and marketing.
For example, the term shoes, is probably too broad to be much
use, but as you look down through the list you see women's
shoes, running shoes, and even skate shoes. These are much
more targeted markets and will provide you with much more targeted
prospects and leads when you market or advertise your products.
In fact, this simple method of target marketing is the basis
for Network
Marketing Lead Generation, or lead generation of any kind.
Take some time and research your market. Find keywords that
reflect what you are selling, and narrow down your phrases
so that you can target very specific niches. You'll also find
much less competition in these smaller niche markets and it
will be much easier to make a name for yourself and your business
in these smaller market niches This is the first step to a
highly effective Prospecting
System that can yield great results down the road, and Increase
Sales with Small Numbers.
