You have a nice speaking voice and you're very clear and concise. My only suggestion would be to slow down a bit. There's a lot of great info in your video but even if I was taking notes, I'd have to pause and rewind a lot. Overall, great work!

Nice video - relatively short, yet covers the subject in an easy to comprehend way. Nice modulation on the voiceover - too many videos sound like Ben Stein in "Ferris Buehler".

The only suggestion I would add would be to add a watermark with your URL in the corner - lower right would be a good option here.

All things considered, nice job...

Sara,

Great job. Info was good and I particularly liked the energy in your voice.

@John McCabe- I think "corporate drone" is the default setting when people start recording themselves--I know it was for me--and I'm still working on it.

I'm a n00b here so could be way wrong on this... but isn't this video pretty much saying "how to find a niche with lots of competition?"

I've heard other people say that the best niche to find is one where it isn't already saturated so you can make your way to the top... thoughts?

Thanks

RWenderlich: I think the trick is to find a niche with lots of competition and then ferret out keywords, or a microniche within the niche, that you can exploit. You want competition. You don't want to have to create a market where there isn't one. But if you find that handbags are a hungry niche, look to see if macrame or quilted handbags or handbags made out of recycled materials get searches without too much in the way of competition.

Just my two cents . . .

Thank you everybody. I am really touched by the feedback that I have received here.

You made me want to create another video.

Got any requests for a topic? Seriously, if there is something you've been struggling with, I can create a video like that to explain things. Make sure it's something specific and IM related, though.

Yes, that's right. Competition is good. A hungry market will usually have lots of products available for it already, so if there is no competition it's either an undiscovered market or not a hungry market (probably the latter).

So when you go into a competitive niche, either find specific keywords that are not competitive, or find a sub-niche, or find a unique angle on the niche that others have not taken (for example, a review site where only product sites exist).

But there's another thing. There are markets with lots of books, magazines, and PPC campaigns. Yet the SEO side of it is wide open and totally not competitive, so it's easy to rank high in the organic listings.

I'm in a few of these, and they are great

Good point. I should have added that into the video - checking out the cost per click on Adwords. However, don't use this as the only indicator. I've seen niches where companies or non-profits bid high in order to create brand recognition. You want a few indicators before you dive into a niche.

lol. I was not expecting this...

I try to stay away from getting paid by the hour or by the project, and would rather do my own IM stuff (better ROI on my time). But if you give me a good enough offer, I will consider it.

I like the video, it's very informative. The intro was nice because it was very broad and then it got narrower and narrower just like how any good essay, doc, report should be. You also end it off with a summary of what you talked about which made note taking a lot easier. I would say, if you can work out some of your pacing in your speech then it would be better. Great job Sara!

For those of you who thought it was too fast:

I kind of knew that, but my intention was to create a short bite-sized video that would be easy to watch.

Would you rather see it as one 8-10 minute video, or cut up into 2 shorter ones?

Words that come to mind.

Short, informative and a must watch for someone that wants know know how to find niches.

Someone mentioned too fast ... well I say it was fast enough any slower I would have likely not watched it to the end because they are techniques I use.

I think it was perfect, and the speed was actually good because you had me feeling as though I should go to those sites and do a tour... and fast

I do think you need a watermark throughout the video as well as an emphasis on your website at the end. I didn't go to your youtube site but I'm sure your link to your website is right on the top.
Keep them going in youtube, people are going to watch and you're going to get visits, I also hope your building a list with your visitors.
Great job

Thanks Mya - you are right. I didn't expect to get the kind of responses and views that I did, so I wasn't prepared. But next time I will be...

As to the speed - you can't please everyone, can you?

I guess one idea might be to keep it fast, but also provide a PDF summary to go with it.

Sorry it took so long, but I put the video back today.

I took it down because the original video mentioned my site and I was afraid to get banned for that.

I finally got around to putting it back up today....

Hope you find it useful,

Gr8 video!!! Very informational. A bit quick in delivery towards the middle and end. Maybe in between showing internet screen captions you can add points and suggestions to recap in note form. If I missed anything I can always go back and watch. All in all, heaps of material that will be beneficial for anyone seeking a niche they can relate to.
