How do you do Niche Research???

14 years ago

What type of research are you talking about specifically? Are you needing to get a broad overview of the niche because you don't have any experience in it? Or are you trying to figure out what the people in the niche are looking for? Or?

Yes, answering these questions will help you get better answers.

"How to do niche research" is a very subjective question for that matter.

Lots of ways, but a good start would be google adwords external tool. Google it to find it. Type in your broad niche, fill in the captcha, hit search. over on the right hand side along the top of columns is a button "columns", hit it check box by Estimated Avg. CPC. Are there high numbers there? For example, if a KW has a $5 avg cpc, then people are willing to pay that amount for 1 click! I bet that is a profitable niche.

Do search in Google for your niche or kw's and see how many results it says it finds. That gives you a quick idea if it is competitive for seo. It's a lot more than that but it is a quick start.

Thanks

Hmm . dare i say it... that almost anything is profitable if you know how to market the niche... lets say you are interested in cake baking. if you can get immersed in that niche such as forum blogs and so on you can find out how to market to that niche - meaning run ads on those sites.

The important part is to find out want they need. Hint - what they need!

Good luck!

Thanks

Further to this example, you engage with your niche if you are able to share information that they need or might need to know about. Say, you wanted to reach people interested in baking and you are a flour supplier, you can first provide information on different kinds of flour and how they affect the outcome of a cake. You can keep ads to a minimum and use helpful information as a selling point. My two cents.

Essentially, niche research from an SEO perspective involves assessing keyword search volume and then checking the competition or 'difficulty' of obtaining first-page rankings for that keyword.

Keywords with a relatively high volume and low competition are the most viable providing the keywords in question are relevant and that the searcher has the intent to complete the desired action on your website (e.g, sale, lead, etc).

I hope that helps!

Yes you are looking for the "hungry crowd" that will want to buy your product as soon as they know it is available - for that you need to find problems that people are having; and then the solutions to their problems and there you have your niche

There about as many ways to do "niche research" as their are members of this forum. Here is what works for me.

Market Samurai: I use this tool combined with "Micro Niche Finder" to help give me ideas for keywords. For example, weight loss is almost impossible to rank on but there are long tail keywords within that niche that are somewhat easier. These two tools help me find those.

Google, use their External Keyword Tool, its limited and biased towards Google but its great for ideas. Also use the Wonder Wheel, great tool for keywords and the SERP results help you in defining which are impossible to rank for and which you are going to have a fighting chance.

I could go on and on, and I am sure you are going to get TONS more ways to do it. As a suggestion, I have seen a couple Warrior's for Hire who will do research for you if its too overwhelming and you have the small fee they are charging. But as with most things, its best to learn how to do it yourself for the first few times.

Clint Butler

P.S. If you want to resource to get some great free training on it let PM me and I will give you a link to a group that teaches for free.

Google is good, but you don't always get those long tail keywords that you never could have though of, if your using the wonder wheel and external keyword tool combined, my hats off to you.

Check out the following for demand in your niche:

eBay Pulse: trends, hot picks, cool stuff and popular searches on eBay.com
Digital Products Retailer: Affiliate Program & Sell Online - ClickBank (marketplace)
How-To Help and Videos - For Dummies

Look at the most popular items listings etc. on Amazon, Shopping.com etc..

You can see if people are buying in the niche by using tons of tools like this.

Then you need to find some good keywords to start getting traffic to your products.

  I would also have to go along with the combination of Market Samuri and Micro Niche Finder. The two definately give me an advantage over just Google for the long tail keywords.

If you have $97 to dedicate to your education - then get a copy of Elite Niche Research from Andrew Hansen.

That's if you are looking for niche markets for affiliate marketing.

If you want to research markets to create your own products, then that's not for you.

I agree. This course will teach you everything you need to know about finding a great niche, but more importantly how to find profitable products within that niche which really is the key.

First of all find out if people are spending money in that particular niche.To do that check for bestsellers on Amazon and Ebay.Also find out if there are a lot of sponsored adverts in that niche when you search google.

Secondly, use the google keyword external tool or market samurai to know the monthly searches and amount of competition for your keywords. An ideal mix is a keyword/phrase with high search and low competition.

Those two basic steps plus topics you personally are interested in is what make up niche research.

RJWare7,

I am new to IM and have also been reading about/doing niche research for the past 5 days. Cutting out the rubbish, the most useful things I done are:

- Brainstorm some topic areas that interest you - you'll need these later
- Go to Market samurai's website, to the 'dojo' section and watch all the videos in there
- Download the free 12 day trial of market samurai
- Go to youtube and search for "Ed dale market samurai" and find all the videos from 'the challenge' posted by user Ed Dale relating to market samurai.
- Watch the videos which will show you how to use your list of topics with market samurai to find niches.

Threads from here which I have saved in my bookmarks under niche research are:
