How to turn my IM hobby to money?

16 replies
I have a strange hobby.
It's related to IM.

I love to do research on keywords and domain. Almost everyday, I'm doing hundreds of research. What keyword is profitable.

As example, I found a good domain related to green niche.

But suddenly I just thinking that I'm wasting my time, because not every domain or keyword I'll taking action to develop on them, because I already have a lot of websites to look for.

So, I wonder how do I turn this hobby to money?
I'm no good at writing, my English is terrible, so, making digital product is not in the list.

Anyone, please suggest me how do I make money from that?

Thanks in advance.
Regards;
Raja Kamil

    Easy: sell your research services to others. There are marketers
    out there who don't have the time and/or the inclination to do their
    own research.

    You say you aren't a good writer, so making digital products is off your list. Maybe you can barter services -- trade your research time with a writer for written products.

    Conversely, I would consider editing your written work for keyword research.

      Barter the service? Quite good.

    Check the Warriors for Hire section. I'll bet you find at least a couple Warriors already offering such services.

    I, myself, have purchased from one of them.

      Check out the forums as suggested, "need, services provided, bartered" etc. also look in the JVNotifyPro Forum for these categories and normally I wouldn't pitch another board, but considering Allen has known Mike for a long time I'm sure he won't mind.

    I'm sharing this to expand your vision for what is possible
    using this excellent (and VALUABLE) skill you possess, Raja.

    Two people come straight to mind (both fellow Warriors):

    * Andrew Hansen
    * James Allen

    and another who might have been, too...

    Frank Mullen

    James sold niche research packs (keywords, affiliate products,
    and a brief overview of the potential for a niche).

    Andrew went further with a tool that created niche minisites
    around these hot themes (a refined and 2011-ish version is his
    latest product, 'Elite Niche Research').

    And Frank did a niche keyword database to which he sold access.
    This was most relevant to me, because a product I created using
    the information in that tool ("Power Niche Minisites") was my
    biggest hit during 2003-4 and took my entire IM activities to
    a new higher plane, making it possible to afford a 26-week mentoring
    program with Jay Abraham, Rich Schefren and Stephen Pierce!

    So there's ENORMOUS potential in the skill you have, and the
    hobby you're pursuing.

    Be sure to partner with the right people, and you could turn it
    into a goldmine.

    All success
    Dr.Mani

    P.S. - You might want to talk to my friend, Paul Evans, who now
    runs NICHEOLOGY... and see if the niche research packs can be
    a part of their thriving membership community, as a nice value-
    addition. Paul's re-launching Nicheology very shortly, so this
    may be great timing... if you hurry!

    I agree with the previous comments Keyword research is crucial these days especially because of the increased online competition. If your good at it people will definitely pay for your services.

    For those that are still following this thread, I just want to thank you all for giving me inspiration to start my own keyword research service.
    Well, I'm not getting paid anyway...hehe,
    but still worth to check.

      Wow, definitely a strange hobby. :p Keyword research is usually the part that gives me strong headaches, because I do it manually. I just hate it!

      Anyway, why don't you find profitable keywords and register them as a domain? Get into SEO and get those domains ranked. Monetize it with affiliate offers.

        If you subscribe to my Golden Keyword Rules mailing list, you will know that, I found a lot of profitable keywords, and I'm doing it everyday.

        Unlike others, monetizing from keywords that I found, is my source of headache.
        I already got unmonitized domains this year alone. (well it's still January )

    Even I love keyword research though I cannot make use of every keyword gold I find in my research. I plan on targeting many of the keywords I find while doing research, but most of the time I don't do it.

    You can provide keyword research services. Researching for a good niche takes up a lot of time. This is what I think.
