Should i target my country also ?

7 replies
Hello all .I was thinking to spend a little time to target my country also ,you see in terms of competition its wayyyyyyyyyyy lower that international .For example if i type loose weight on youtube i get almost 6 000 000 results .Then if i write the how to lose weight in Romania i get only 11 800 results .I think with my knowledge i would rank very easy in competitive niches .I was thinking that i should create a product of myself and target my specific niche .But the problem its that the power of financialy buying digital products on Roamnia its wayyy less that international . Do you think i should try also this strategy or its a waste of time ? Thank in advance

  • As you said you are promoting Digital product dont target worldwide, you are wasting the money, only target the below countries
    United states
    United Kingdom
    Australia
    Canada
    Ireland
    South Africa
    New Zealand
    These are top tier countries they buy digital product,
    I loss thousands of dollar by targeting the worldwide, don't do that mistake.

    Well, it's good to target a specific Country. I suggested you should Follow these step by step.

    STEPS :
    1. Make a Google research on your specific Keyword or niche in a Country that like Digital Product i.e:
    United states
    United Kingdom
    Australia
    Canada

    2. Gather some information together in a video or on your Website.

    3. Make sure it is a reasonable information and easy to follow.

    4. Start promoting the Video links or the website url contain that information in your targeting Country.

    NOTE : You can use some freelancer to help you promote it by targeting a specific Country Maybe on "Fiverr or Seoclarcks"

    Or

    You can do a promotion yourself on High PR social media like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and many more. those are the right place to get real human Visitors.

    I disagree with the posters above. I've known several marketers from this forum who struggled to make money targeting English first language countries and found they did much better targeting their own country or region.

    Thank in advance

    you are wasting the money

    it is a reasonable information
    I think spartan14 has a good idea and should definitely try it. The three phrases above (one from each poster above) clearly identify you as "English second language". Your English may be very good - but if you have 'tells' like the ones above (and other very common English usage errors) - you aren't going to have an easy job of selling CB products.

    If you have your own unique products, it might be different. But if you are trying to "review for sales" and make countless videos where you don't speak because of your accent....you are going to struggle to earn money.

    I'm the only one so far who is in the US. For years the accepted practice has been "sell to the English speaking countries". I've seen a backlash among people I know who will not buy from a site they perceive to be 'outside the US'. There are many countries where internet usage is growing rapidly - and those who learn to market in those emerging markets will be leaders in those countries in years to come.

    The OP has a great work ethic but he is pushing a rock uphill trying to compete with people IN the US selling the same CB and other products he is promoting. He might well find he can earn as much or more targeting his own part of the world. Definitely worth a trying in my opinion.

    Why not just take action and try it!if you succeed,this is your niche and your chance,because you have a lot of more advantage than somebody else,you know your people,culture,language,custom...if you like to make money,nobody can replace you...you have to take massive actions.the successful rate is only 1-2%,99-98% of actions are wasting time and money.If you catch this 2%,you are successful...that is why success is precious.Just try it,you will see it.
    I am looking forward to your good news!

    Seems to be a smart move but only if you believe Romanians are big into weight loss. Or, for any topic you may be tackling, to target them. If you can dominate the niche and figure there is a real need for weight loss products or services or blog posts or videos in your country, it bears digging deeper.

    You mentioned you are searching youtube. If you are not getting the results you want from them, then why not outsource the re-write of the script and voice-over. It should not cost that much, unless we are talking long videos.

    Thing is - the OP hasn't been targeting 'weight loss' - but trying to sell various CB and other MMO products.

    I agree with Ryan, though - you need to RESEARCH your country's market - what ARE people buying online? What might they be willing to buy online? Will they pay for a service or a product?

    How can you help them? How can you provide value to them? Start asking questions and talking to people you know - that's where the ideas will come from.
