Steps to Uncover Your First, or Next Profitable Niche

I found a list of trigger words from a guy named Marcus Campbell that I am going to use to start my keyword research.

1. I am choosing the trigger word “Help” which I am plugging into my ahrefs keyword research tool.
2. Clicking view all I notice over 5 million keywords related to help!
3. Setting keyword difficulty to 3 or less Google sheets spreadsheet 50 words free – GET IT HERE
4. Look for Niche Ideas – mine are noted on spreadsheet above.
5. Look for related domains

For the domains:

I am using spamzilla and Godaddy auctions to find potential sites for the niche I am targeting. There is still more keyword research to do to find more terms that relate to the same niche that can drive traffic to the products I choose to promote.

For free traffic I need more research on what’s ranking in the search engines now for one of the niche keywords I chose. Part of me is feeling like there is more to this that I need to do before moving forward. But this is just a preliminary list. The report has over 16,000 keywords in total. I just took the first page of the results sorted by volume of searches per month. I found a few niches there. I am looking at the tums/antacid searches. I think there is a niche market there that I can target.

I will do more deep diving in the niche to find even more words that have intent to buy the same sort of product. I will use those words to send traffic to an offer page, preferably on my own website but for this experiment I am going to use a site like weebly.com to host my landing page. This market is probably going to need dieting tips or medical advice. There are ways to help this market by showing them ways to fix their problems. They may even be candidates for gardening products or info books.

Do you see how the choices can slow you down?

Even though all this can be done by you wouldn’t it be easier to just put together a team of people you go to for each part of this process to have it done for you?

This sort of activity is a way to help the economy. You hire people to do things for you and you pay them fairly. You use your skills to add value by placing the information in front of the people that are looking for it and offer them a related product to help them out and you get paid for solving their problem.

There are so many steps to each part of this business that one person would be overwhelmed if doing it all alone.

In my next update I will show you my weebly site and discuss how I plan to use other free sites to post more of my content for free and have that content drive traffic to my weebly site.

In order to help me give you the most relevant and helpful information about my experiments or about what I do as an affiliate marketer please ask any questions in the comments below.

I know what I need to do but I am stuck on a different part of the process and I get analysis paralysis. I need to find a niche market first. I jumped the gun on a few domain purchases and just thought I was going to make an easy profit.

I get ideas from youtube videos and I go over in my head a whole bunch of them and I get stuck on the next steps and I get frustrated and move on to something I think I can do instead of figuring out a way through, over or around the obstacle I end up starting over a whole bunch.

Then I waste a bunch of time trying to get a plan together and I get started on something I can do and if it doesn’t give me immediate success I feel like I have to start again. Why am I talking about all this?

I am fighting through the analysis paralysis and morphing my ideas into a working plan. I have generated an offer and I put together a way for the transaction to take place. I priced it low to attract attention since I haven’t generated any success stories yet. In my mind this is more like a partnership that I need to conduct more experiments.

I do the work and order work to be done. I put all the work together in a way to make everyone involved money. I pay for the domain, keyword research tools, website building tools and relevant traffic generating content and you pay for me to put it all together to make you money.

There are ways to use free web properties and resources to generate a profit. I can always go to those and do my experiments. I want to go out and find a hungry audience, find a product to feed them and build a website to deliver it to them.

Here’s another time where I am contemplating how to segue to the part that makes me money. I am not making a decision because I have so many ideas and and I can’t decide how I want to continue.

Do I want to put an offer here or do I send you to another page?

Do I put a text link or a graphic, like a banner?

Do I publish this page then come back and link to my new page or do should I be working backward, sending my readers to my old works? I mean should I have my offer ready to go and then write up this content and send you to my offer?

These are the types of things that I am dealing with constantly. I don’t think I have ADD but I can imagine how much of a struggle it would be if every decision was this complicated by your subconscious mind.

Since I don’t have a page set up yet and I don’t have the details worked out I will just go through my idea and also discuss my keyword research and how it can benefit you.

I have previously written about Marcus Campbell who I found on Youtube, and I am able to grasp the concepts when he talks about them. He gives me so many ideas and he also give good action plans to get things going. I recently watched him outline how to make money using free websites. I have to use the same keyword research I’d normally use to find a niche and for articles.

My new product will have to do with that. I will write out the sites I am going to use, the way I’m going to tie them together for maximum profitability and how I’m doing market research too. When I think these things up I get my mind all clouded up because I am thinking about how I’m going to write a guide or if I should give away some of the keyword lists I’m using to look for good profitable niches to get into.

While going through keywords for my forex site I realized how difficult it is to go out and find a profitable niche that I have an idea of how to use my knowledge and skills to do what it takes to build a cashflow machine out of. I also want to showcase my ability to do the research necessary to find profitable keywords for my customers and for myself. I also want to help out those who may not have the resources to hire others to do the work for them yet but are ready to learn.

That leads to my next project and the product needs a give away. I am going to be researching and there may be things I find but don’t have the time for. Also, there aren’t tons of people getting this material yet either. That means this is fresh now and as I try stuff out and it starts working right for me I won’t have much extra competition from my readers because I will already be working on something else, niche-wise.

I want to find a domain for you. To do that I need a niche to target so I have an idea on what to call the website. That means I have to do some keyword research first. I believe I will be able to find plenty of these niches and I will share some of them to show proof of what I can do in order to build trust.

Once I do a few of these for free web site properties like blogger or weebly.com I will put my offer up for me buying the domain and doing the keyword research. I will also be able to compile my free site research into a small pdf report that I can give away to new visitors to my site that may be interested in my services. It is a record of my successes and an example of what to expect from my research if you purchase a domain and research product from me.

Now, I have just outlined a process that I am going to go and do. Here’s another look at what is going to happen here:

1. I am going to do some niche finding research
2. I will compile that research into some spreadsheets for my readers to download for free
3. I will then set up some free web properties with content meant to sell to the niche I researched
4. I will compile that into the ebook/pdf with the spreadsheets as a free giveaway for new email subscribers
5. I am putting together a sales page to offer my service of finding you a niche and a relevant domain to use to to market to the niche

Keep an eye out for my Niche Finding Post that I am going to work on now since I just wrote it in my list of what I am going to do.

As I listen to some youtube videos from Marcus Campbell I get tons of ideas and I feel confident that what he says is going to work for me. He tries to give an accurate depiction of what internet marketing is like but he is coming from the experienced side of things. His experience does help me have confidence that the stuff I’m doing because of the info he shares seems like a good idea. He make sure to give his disclaimer in just about every video he makes how the results are not typical, implied or guaranteed and that makes him believable.

I have bought tools and products based on his recommendations. I believe that I can use at least one of his ideas and run with it to make money online, consistently!

You can check out his stuff on youtube yourself and see what I’m talking about. The hardest part is getting a good step by step, start here and do this then do this, guide to know the best course of action for you. It makes sense though. You have to do some work no matter what.

The gurus that make outlandish claims are going away because the real folks are getting a voice these days. The concept of why would someone sell or even give away their marketing plan is making sense, especially in the make money online niche market. Once you get past the clickbank products made for you to learn how to make money selling their how to make money scheme it starts to make some sense.

For me, finding little hacks and tweaking little codes is kind of fun. Also, finding keywords with some sort of angle and low competition is like a treasure hunt. Once I find a treasure I’m ready to go look for another. Going through and cataloguing all the individual pieces of the treasure is too tedious and doesn’t interest me.

What I’m trying to say is I can find the right keywords, the right offer and the right traffic method but I don’t know how to say hey buddy here’s that thing you were looking for, buy it now for just$99.99 and not feel like some opportunistic a-hole!

That being said, I just watched Marcus find weird random facts that he is using for their high traffic searches and their nonspecific search to offer some more generic products that pay for a simple email submit for maybe some coupons.

I want to make money from what I’m already doing. I am paying for keyword research. I think it may benefit you to see some of that research. I’v seen people on Youtube make money by giving things away. My main product I just started offering is to buy a domain, set up a profit grabbing niche blog and get some content up on it for free search engine traffic. I will put together a little package where I will provide a list of relevant keywords, a product suggestion to go along with the niche and a few expired domains you can go out and buy.

There are also ways to get free traffic using free sites where you can market your affiliate products. If that interests you please leave a comment and I will make more content covering that method and possibly do an experiment with free resources to make money online.

That gives me another couple of projects to put up a page offering a product and a splash page to offer a lead magnet to get some email subscribers!

I have a list of words that can be used to find a niche. I will use some of them and find some low competition high search volume keywords in a general market. I will take some of those and go deeper into a few of these terms and put something useful together.

I hear there’s a web hosting company that pays when you refer someone who wants web hosting and they give a free domain with it. Please comment or email me if you are interested in more information on buying hosting if there’s a free domain in it for you, one year of hosting is about $100.

The upstairs wheels are spinning, it hurts, but I think I’ve got something valuable to give to you. Even may be possible to use free web resources like facebook, pinterest and weebly. When I get the offer up I’ll let you know.

I hope this helps!

Many of the make money online products and coaching programs make it seem like there is one super secret that is holding you back from millions and millions.

There are countless products available that guarantee you will make tons of money if you pay them $997 today only!

I do know that people are making money online today in 2022. I’ve also recently been shown that advertising hasn’t changed much since the early 1900’s, at least!

Making money without leaving the house is a very appealing concept to me. Figuring out how to do it has proven difficult.

It’s one of those simple things that isn’t easy. Things have been coming into focus in a good way lately. I have a solid plan.

Today I did some planning and wrote some content for my email list and my blog. I really need to get after my keyword research and getting some content written.

I also have to come up with some sort of giveaway for building up my email list. It’s hard to imagine putting in all this planning and work to sell my site. It’s going to be tough to let go.

I have to set some goals for my earnings and some limits to time spent on these blogs.

Awhile back I read a book called “The 4 Hour Work Week” by Timothy Ferris. He was heavily in favor of outsourcing things you don’t want to do and things that are mundane that keep you from the profitable activities and from the things you want to do.

With unlimited funds and no care for return that would be nice. In order to achieve anything like this you have to have a good plan and good systems.

What value am I going to provide to allow me free time? I am helping people find what they are looking for. I am helping vendors sell more.

I am employing writers. I may have to hire programmers and lawyers. An accountant may be in order and some customer service employees.

With the right plan I can feed lots of people. With the right system I can make it easy and almost automatic feeding.

When I first got into this I fell for the ads that made me believe a little work would pay me huge sums of money for the rest of my life. I am shaking my head at my old self.

Now I am able to see that the easy button is just a metaphor for being able to do what you enjoy and prosper for it.

How can I help, enjoy it and make a living?

I have always been a seeker. I want to know about things. How they work. Why they work the way they do.

Keyword research and marketing, learning about different markets and sharing my findings is a joy for me.

Now I am finding ways to earn a living from my hobby. Selling my services allows me to afford to do more experiments and learn more.

In the morning I have to find my path to profit with my forex website. I have too many theories and lots of work to get this moving in my direction.

Have you been introduced to the sales funnel idea yet? It’s where you find a market that you can get traffic in and get their email addresses. Once you have their emails you begin offering products for them to buy. Each time they enter a different level in your “funnel” and begin to spend more and more with you.

It is a great idea and a great way to look at the sales process and it makes you, the marketer, able to focus on your customers based on where they are at. I just read through a short intro guide to the concept of funnels and that is what inspired this post.

Just the day before yesterday I decided to offer my mailing list a service where I find a niche for you, buy the domain, build a blog and add content to drive traffic to affiliate offers. I don’t have a funnel yet. I went for the final product before warming up my audience, you, for my big offer.

The offer is a great one, in my opinion, but it is $397 I’m asking without you really knowing me. I had the idea that as I show what I’m doing I will pique the interest and generate sales. Now, after reading the ebook I may go about it differently. I am putting together a product that I can sell or give away to generate more interest and as I build trust and add value to my readers I will be able to sell my higher priced products because the value will be real and trusted.

With that in mind, I have decided to use my site, ForexWizard.org, as my example site.

I bought the domain a couple of months ago and it had backlinks already. It was not ranking for any keywords that I could find and it’s not getting much traffic at all right now. I wrote some content and posted it on there but it wasn’t the right keywords or the right angle to either generate traffic or sales.

So, it’s back to the drawing board for this project and it’s a good place to start showing what I can do and the reality of what happens when you are marketing affiliate products. There is a lot more to it than putting your affiliate link all over the internet and hoping that you sell something.

Now, I am also working this funnel angle. How do I sell my services and sell affiliate products?

Here’s what I am going to do, in order to “funnel” those interested where they will receive the info they are interested in I am going to use my Aweber email autoresponder to create another list for people interested in my experiment with ForexWizard.org.

As I work on the project and document the steps I am taking I will also be showing my skills as a market researcher. This is part of my main offer to find niche and build a website to profit from that niche, FOR YOU!

I am also thinking that I should put together a smaller offer where I find a niche for my subscribers. Maybe a free service where I post keyword lists of results from researching new niches. Then maybe a product where I buy a domain and offer my research for ideas to generate traffic and charge less and let you do the work to build it out.

I am just putting my ideas out there. I will have to refine them, see what is generating interest and see what actually makes me money.

I like looking at data and trying to figure out how to use it for marketing. I don’t like making content about the info. I also don’t like spending time learning about markets that I am not interested in, like dating. I am happily married and looking into how to get a boyfriend, since I am a man and have a wife, makes no sense for me but there is a huge market out there for that niche. There are people who need help in that area and there are experts who can help and I can be the affiliate to get them together, I just don’t need the service and don’t know about the tactics that work to get a boyfriend since I never needed one.

There are so many keywords that lead to so many markets it’s mind boggling. I don’t have the time to go into them all. I want to do some of the work and I want to use what I know to help others do the same in different markets. I know how to find the markets and I know how to find the products but I am still having a hard time being the middle man. I don’t know how to sell very well.

In order to follow along with my ForexWizard.org go to this page and enter your name and email.

I use Aweber for building an email list with an autoresponder to deliver a series of emails to my new subscribers. If you are interested you can use my affiliate link HERE and sign up yourself to be able to easily build forms or landing pages to bring your readers onto your email list.

As of this writing I don’t have the lead capture set up to send you to nor do I have the keywords I’m targeting, a great product to market or a detailed plan of action, for ForexWizard.org or for you.

On the ForexWizard.org site I do have a lead capture page that is giving away a pdf for an affiliate product I am promoting on there. I used Facebook ads to build an email list. It didn’t convert very well. I am basically starting over with new knowledge. I am going to set up the lead capture for those of you interested in following along with me. Go Here.

Now that my offer is available it’s time to start making content to attract buyers. I am going to go into the first step to making a profitable niche blog.

I need a market with a specific need. In order to be successful quickly the target needs to be easy to hit. I will start by using some words that by themselves don’t have any specific market.

I am using ahrefs to put in a few keywords like lesson, learn, how to, what is, when should, how do…

By paying attention to the results I should be able to find something with a large amount of searches and low competition.

The competition can be low on paid traffic if I’m buying clicks or it can have a low “KD” or keyword difficulty score if I’m trying to rank in the organic listings on the search engines.

Once I find something worth pursuing I will use my spamzilla tool to search for a relevant expired domain with ranking keywords and relevant back links.

Since I am just starting out and am not charging much I am not buying any auction domains. In the future I am aware that spending on the right domain can really speed up the ranking and traffic getting results.

If you are interested in buying your own domain at auction I can help with that. My Spamzilla tool and my research abilities can help find a good one to get faster results. I am open to working on getting you an auction domain if you are willing to pay for it.

As I progress I will offer more services. Please ask if there is something you think my skills can do for you.

If anyone is interested in the research I can post some keyword lists. I can also post some of the domains I find.

These reports won’t be up to the minute exact but they are a place to look if you want ideas just leave a comment or send me an email and I will see what I can do.

I put together a simple landing page (super simple) to tell people what I’m offering and an order page that will collect payment for me. I had trouble getting the paypal button to show up and take payments. Some option I had selected:

I am not 100% certain what that does but I unchecked it and all the other stuff in the sidebar on my wordpress post and page writing area.

Anytime I went in and adjusted anything it took the Paypal button away and I had a tough time getting it put together even though the page looks very basic, which it is, but it took a lot of my brain power to get it to look this good.

The thing about affiliate marketing that I like and what I won’t have to worry about when building the niche sites is that the affiliate network handles the payment process. I don’t have to put paypal or any other order buttons on a site because the niche blogs are built to send customers to the offer and the offer is meant to convert.

Some offers are CPA which means you can get paid for simply getting a zipcode or an email. Some offers require preselling a product.

At times we will need to build a customer email list and sell products to people who’ve already purchased through our affiliate links or even products we’ve developed.

For example, I have to build a customer list of people interested in what I’m doing with these niche sites by writing about the process and showing what I’m doing and the struggles I am facing that could cause problems for others.

Now I’ve got a working landing page, an order page and a plan.

I have invested in some tool for keyword research, email autoresponder, domain research and clipart & Snag-it image editor for designs on my webpages.

You should have received my first post in this series this morning. I setup a page to very briefly describe what I’m doing and sell my Domain purchase and niche blog setup service. I’m having issues getting a paypal button set up and able to accept payments from my product page.

The page itself is not even looking pretty or optimized with sales getting messages. I just put up a few sentences describing in very simple sentences what I am selling. Every time I put the code in from the paypal site and hit update and refresh my page there’s nothing.

This is the part that really gets my blood boiling! I just want to set up a simple button to accept payments so I can provide a service to my customers and it seems impossible. There’s nothing on my site. The original button that I had on there last night was erased because it didn’t do what I expected.

If you are interested in this service still please be patient with me. I may have to get some pro help or will have to buckle down and spend all kinds of time to figure this out and I’ll have more blog content to post with a guide to setting up PayPal on your site.

This is why I like being an affiliate and getting paid from Clickbank or any other affiliate network. They deal with the setup of payments and charge customer and send you your commission check. I like setting up the blogs and adding pages with pictures and designs but the payment processors are so confusing and difficult to get setup and working properly, for me at least!

How about you, how has your experience been with adding “simple” paypal payment buttons to your webpages? Please leave a comment or question below on your experience to help me or others having the same type of problems.

Now back to the struggle!

For only $395 You will get a niche relevant domain

A website built to target a profitable niche market

4 articles written to target customer oriented traffic

2 landing pages optimized for conversions

If you’ve been involved with internet marketing more than 5 minutes you’ve heard that the money is in the list. If it is I haven’t found it yet. In the next few weeks I intend to transform or build a new responsive email list that earns me a profit. I have already built a list of nearly 1400 people that I received using Solo Ads. I don’t get a high response rate with the subscribers on this list. I don’t know how to fix it, yet…

I will be sending updates on how I am changing my strategy and building myself a list of subscribers who are actually buying what I recommend. In order to do that I have to learn about the products I am recommending with better research from me or someone I hire to do it for me. I also need to find a way to grow my list and sell affiliate products in order to make money.

I have to admit that I have done most of my research in the make money online niche because most of the products I’ve bought have been in this market. I get that distraction from the next shiny object that sparkles near me and go off on tangents that are not productive for me. I want to use what I’ve learned to get better results so I am going to record and report my findings by talking about the products I am using and the sites I am developing to build my customer list.

This next few weeks of experiments will be compiled into a pdf report with the best methods exposed. Here on the blog you’ll get to see if something fails and what works. When I’ve found a few things that are working I will compile them into a guide for quick reference on what works.

The guide will be a potential “hook” to be given away in exchange for an email submit. If people sign up then I know they are interested in building a customer email list.

They will need to get an autoresponder so I can talk about the one I’m using and which ones I’m not using and why.

They will also most likely be interested in hosting and domain buying.

Website building is something else that I can talk about. I kind of like building the sites. I have trouble writing ads that sell. That is another topic I can cover as I learn about it.

I will need to figure out things I can do to make money besides selling other people’s products or will I focus solely on affiliate products?

I will delve into how I am doing my keyword research. I like finding the keywords but I don’t like doing all the research and writing on the topics I find. There are too many keywords to choose from and so many avenues to profit from the findings. How will I make money?

I am very interested in selling via email. I am also interested in putting together simple websites that sell something and then sell the sites and repeat the process. Of course I will keep the most profitable ones.

I have to learn how to drive traffic, profitably, to my sites.

To the email list I’ve already built, I am going to experiment first on sending these blog posts to them as free content because it helps to see what is actually working. I am learning how to build profitable wordpress blogs.

My make money online studies have taught me how to find keywords that are low competition and easier to rank for in the search engines. I also understand how to order articles to post relevant content that ranks in the search engines. I also know how to put together simple splash page style landing pages.

I know that anyone can make those claims and I’d like prove it by doing exactly as I would for you on some sites I am currently building. I will disclose how I do this in the next few blog posts and send updates on the stats and offer them for sale.

I expect that the sites will be profitable quickly and I have many ideas. The more I can sell the more I can build. I will do all the keyword research and site building and get a domain for you For $397.

You’ll get:

• A Niche Domain
• 4 SEO Articles With Targeted Search Traffic
• Keyword Reports for you to give you Some Keyword Ideas
• 2 Bonus Splash Pages For Affiliate Offers

I will set up a page with a list of sites I am building now and find a way to give away this info to build my list while I also sell my own products. I will use my content that is working or not to stay in touch with my subscribers. They will be getting steps from me to get a profitable niche, a good domain name and where to get articles written for you. I am getting the practice I need to get some profits rolling in. The sites are not guaranteed to make money. I can’t test every single one before I sell it but I will do my best to get you a profitable niche site blog that makes money every single month almost on autopilot with a chance to grow!

When I set up a site without a buyer I am going to have to figure out how to transfer the contents and easily have them add their own affiliate information. It shouldn’t be too difficult.

Now I have to figure out how to add the blog to automatically go to my email subscribers. Any results I get may not indicate you will get the same or similar results. The links to other products may be affiliate links meaning that a purchase from them may lead to a commission to me.
