Niche Domination Outline

To many newbies have no clue what niche to go into. They hear things about keyword volume, ranking potential, and passion – but they’re still lost and confused. You can help them dominate a niche using the following outline.

Tips and ideas number 1: You can get a lot out of working on the Internet. Perhaps you want to avoid having to drive to a job, or maybe you just have a family at home you’d like to be around while you make your money. Whatever the case may be, this article is here to help you out.

Main eBook Title: Picking and Profiting from the Right Niche for You

Chapter 1: How Have You Chosen Your Niches to Date?
– Mistakes people make are commonly relying on copycatting other marketers who mention a niche they’re in.
– Desperation for money often leads to choosing the wrong niche.
– Niche selection is something that has to be done carefully because, in order to succeed long term, you want a niche you can commit to day after day, year after year.

Chapter 2: Starting with Self Interests
– What are your personal experiences? (health, relationships, things you’ve overcome or found solutions to)
– What hobbies do you enjoy? (sports like golf, knitting, playing guitar, etc.)
– What do you have a formal education in? (health, journalism, etc.)

Chapter 3: Tapping Into Your Love of Learning
– Things you’ve always wanted to try or learn
– Learn, Do Teach – have fun with a niche by learning about something new, putting it into action and then teaching it.
– People love seeing progress, so let them grow with you (ie: your weight loss journey)

Chapter 4: Go Where the Money Is
– Picking niches for profit potential
– Evergreen niches that have lasting long-term earning abilities
– Fad or trend-based niches you can tap into, explode your profits and move on when they fizzle out

Chapter 5: Zeroing in on a Certain Demographic
– Combining slants and niches – like work at home and parenting
– Gender-based niches like weight loss for women
– Age-based niche slants like weight loss for seniors

Chapter 6: Is Your Niche Content Rich?
– Broad, evergreen topics have plenty to talk about for the long-term – or, does the niche evolve and change enough so that there are new slants to discuss over the years?
– Make an outline for categories and topics to see how much it’s flourishing. If you struggle, then you’ll struggle with blogging about it.
– Look for publications on it (books, sites, blogs, etc.) If there’s ample content in publication, then it should be fine.

Chapter 7: Is It Click Worthy?
– To profit, you want all sorts of monetary options. Research the PPC value of it – would your content generate some good ad revenue?
– AdSense – spy on other AdSense sites for this topic and investigate keyword potential and ranking ability
– CPA programs – are there many for this niche? You can get paid for the actions people take

Chapter 8: Digital Product Affiliate Promotion Potential
– ClickBank – are there several products about your topic? Do they pay enough in commission? What’s the gravity like? You want to be able to attract affiliates.
– JVZoo – what’s listed there for your niche topic? Apply for the programs and think about including a bonus you create for your buyers.
– Warrior Plus – Sometimes you can even tell by the PLR packages in the top bestsellers’ list if there’s ample promotion opportunity among marketers for a certain niche.

Chapter 9: Think in Terms of Tangible Affiliate Profits
– Amazon profits – what is there to promote? Consider adding on potential, too.
– Share-a-Sale – other stores you can promote tangibles from online
– Commission Junction – check out the sellers and see what all is available in your niche.

Chapter 10: Is There Room for You to Launch Products?
– Better, more detailed products that help the audience more.
– Unique slant nobody else is doing
– Opposite of what’s trending or what’s out there – something anti-traditional to set yourself apart.

Tips and ideas number 2: Watch for scams. There are some opportunities that are not as glamorous. Always do your research and try to find reviews from other users to figure out what is a good opportunity and what isn’t.

Sign up to become a mystery shopper. This is a great way to make money as you will have to shop at various places and take notes on your shopping experience. When you are finished, you will have to write up a report on the computer, which you will be compensated for.

Bonus Report: Top 5 Evergreen Niches for Profits

Chapter 1: Weight Loss – $ industry, what all could you promote, perks such as always new fads but the niche as a whole is evergreen.

Tips and ideas number 3: Try doing some surveys online. You will not make as much money as you would with some other types of online work. These surveys usually do not take long, and they usually just ask for your opinion. If you join a legitimate survey site, those cents can quickly add up to some extra cash.

This means that you must not skimp on these areas! If you have a website or are thinking about creating one, make sure it is done professionally.
