Does my plan sound ok??

Hi guys.

I'm what you would probably consider a newbie! I need advice with my first proper project!

I have found a small niche within a niche. On Micro Niche Finder (MNF) I have found a keyword for this niche that looks very very good! Over 18k local search count, and over 29k global search count, with practically no competition, green light given by MNF!!!! My idea now is as follows:

1/ To begin with, create a blog.
2/ Write around 20 to 30 articles with the keyword.
3/ Put half the articles on the blog (with a few affiliate links), submit the other half to article directories (EZA, etc etc)
4/ create a link wheel around the blog in time.

I also want to capture the emails of people via a squeeze page. But how would you do this? That is, would you send the traffic to a squeeze page from the EZA link (where they have to give their name and email) before entering the blog??? Or is there another way???

I would really appreciate your advice! Thanks

    I also wanted to buy the domain name of the keyword, but it was for sale at $2,000!

    So I bought the domain with a - in the middle, as my-website.com (instead of mywebsite.com)

    Your initial plan is a good start. Just one thing though... Be aware that the numbers those keyword tools give are not always accurate. Many times I have seen a page rank high for a selected keyword that was "supposed" to get a lot of traffic. But in reality, the traffic just was not there.

    That being said, your plan is a good start. I'd probably not force an opt-in direct from your articles' bio. Instead, send them to more high quality content on your blog and have the opt-in there.

      keyword research can be tricky, Competition usually centers on links but when you search for your keyword make sure you are not searching in "broad" You may get a larger keyword traffic estimate than you think.

    Sounds like a great plan! If you really want to get people to optin, I'd suggest creating some sort of free report, that you link to both on your blog as well as your ezine article.

    This way rather then forcing them to optin to get to your blog, you are giving them a stronger reason to give up their email.

      Hi,

      You have convinced me, this is what I'll do! I actually read a few post on here before about this (by you and a few others).

      Thanks again

        When you get the traffic, make sure you get as high opt-in rate as possible. When you have a big enough list of people, you can probably make most of the money only from the list. It really depends in what niche you are, but I believe there are some buyers as you have already made the research.

        I wish you to succeed.

      Time permitting, it would be more ideal to put them on your own property, then do a quick rewrite of each article and drip feed them onto EZA, to take best advantage of the short period of time they will be on EZA's front page.

      Then once they have all had their time and fallen off front page, you can submit the articles anywhere and everywhere you like.

      I agree with Alexa on this one, too.

      Also, here's a link to a very successful blog that has an opt-in on the sidebar, that way it's always visible, then you can drive people to any page of your blog and still capture name and e-mail. Just a suggestion,

      Here's the link: Internet Business Blog - Entrepreneurs-Journey.com by Yaro Starak

      PS. That guy is a bad ass blogger hah

    well,it seems good.But never be too optimistic.Sometimes,the figure may be not that accurate.So you need to make you distinctive and put more emphasis on your advantage although now there's no competitor.Further plan should also be considered.

      The plan sounds like a great start.

      Always be aware that sometimes there is no competition for a reson .. that it isn't a market that works.

      On the other hand you may have found something cool.

      The most important thing .. especially if you are new if to get started if you don't try you will never know.

      If it doesn't work that at least you will have gained invaluable experience and next time things should be a lot easier.

      I really hope it is a great niche you have found good luck

    Hi tyson, check the intitle, inurl and inanchor for you keywords, to reconfirm the SOC is really that low.

    sometimes, mnf gives me an soc of less than 10 with 10k search. BUT the intitle and inanchor could be sky high!

    Usually its the low count of inurl that is reducing the score of SOC. probably you will want to double check that
