Hi Warriors,

My question is for those that market to the IM
, Make Money Online Niches...

Which and why, of the Newbies, Intermediate or Advanced
IM'ers do you prefer to market to?

I understand that your own experience and knowledge
counts for much of the answer, but let's say for
the sake of the question you had to pick one of the
markets and you had the knowledge and experience
to back it up, which one would you choose?

Thanks for your time!

Regards, Pete

    I prefer experienced.

    Noobs is probably the best, from a finacial point of view, but I find experienced marketers to be less repetitive.

    I've been doing SEO for 12 years and like to get past the "should I put keywords in the meta tags" type questions. I've answered these level of questions 100 times.

      Agreed.

      But on the other hand, it doesn't matter who asks (beginner, intermediate, advenced), it does matter how he asks.

      All of them we were starting sometime. And we asked stupid questions certainly. And how well pitched into us if somebody responded to them in a merit.

      I always read FAQ page first because of that, or was looking for onto the question if somebody asked it already and what was the answer. Someone who asks makes it well if he learns to ask sensibly because he gets a correct answer for his question formulated well presumably then.

      It is possible to learn in that manner if the man asks. But one should have respect for the time of other ones and to orient first in order for us not to ask the same one for the hundredth time.

      Best,

      Sandor

    I prefer intermediate to advanced.

    The freshest newbs are extremely time consuming... basically asking questions that would be explained better if they read to the next page.

      When i helped my coach teach basketball in high-school the kids who new nothing about basketball would ask annoying questions to which i was going to answer in about 5 minutes time anyway!

    For me it does not matter, maybe I haven't answered the simple questions enough times yet

    what is important to me is to make a difference to someone's life

    The main thing to understand regarding which segment of the IM niche to market to is the differences in the niche sizes and related price points.

    1) Newbie market is the largest of the three, but because they have no leverage to benefit from product purchases, initial product pricing generally needs to be fairly low: Low price x High volume = Acceptable income

    2) Intermediate market is a smaller market and they can profit easier from the correct tools/information. Pricing a product too low to this more limited market won't make you much money, and the right product is theoretically more valuable to this market.

    3) Expert market is relatively small, and the benefit they can get from the right tool/information can be very high. Price accordingly.

      Thanks for your input guys!

      I was thinking of offering a service that
      would be suited to intermediates better
      ( I would think...) but was wondering if I
      can somehow tap into the newbies as well by
      offering a separate section with more
      "intro" content...

      Do you think having this "mix" could have the
      opposite reaction of attracting more customers
      and "scarring" off either markets?
