Achieving Success in 2012 with the Right Niche
So, how do you choose a good niche to go after? Well, here is how I go about choosing my niches and nearly every one of them is profitable for me.
I use a site called Flippa. This site is an auction site for domain names and websites. They sell a large amount of them every single day. You can search with the advanced search option for auctions that have ended and have sold for a specific price.
I like to do a search for the auctions that have ended and went for at least $5,000. If they show you the domain name, usually they do, then you can see what the site was all about, how it looked, and a few other things.
The sites that go for this price are already making money, which means this is a potential niche. Now, I like to take this information and see if I can break it down a little further, for example, if I found a profitable site about overhead garage doors, I might try to break it down into local areas or into another sub-niche that has to do with overhead garage doors.
Then, I do my keyword research and try to find a handful of good keywords with a decent amount of searches and low competition. This is all done with the Google keyword tool and nothing fancy. I am usually after keywords that get an exact match of at least 300 searches and have low competition.
I find the competition by doing a search in Google for the keyword phrase in quotation marks. Any number under 250,000 is usually pretty easy for me to rank for.
Many will tell you that keywords with only 300 searches a month are a waste of your time, but this is bad information. These are what are referred to as low hanging fruit and they are easy to pick.
You won't need as many backlinks, if any at all, to get the ranking you need to get a traffic from these keyword phrases. If you go after a handful of these they add up. Five keyword phrases that get 300 searches a month are just as good as one that gets 1,500 searches a month and it is easier to rank high for the lower searched keyword phrases.
This is how I get my niches and find my keyword phrases....How do you find your?
