Niche marketing the 'easy' way

A while ago I posted how I made $3000 in my first month. It got mixed reviews to say the least. I have since... evolved my strategy somewhat. We'll see if this is easier for anyone, but please keep in mind that you will have to work. Find any 'guru' or millionaire; they put in their time. So anyway, here is how I do niche marketing now.

Niche research and keyword research:

I like to stick with hobbies; you know that the people have money and are willing to spend it. Plus, no legal issues. If you have trouble, check out the 'for dummies' book, see whats a top seller on amazon, or search 'how to' with the google adwords tool to see what is being searched.

Once you have a niche, time to do keyword research. Download domain samurai (it's free) and do some simple keyword research. I shoot for a minimum of 10 phrase searches a day with less that 1000 competiting title pages (SEOT).


Generating Traffic

Now that you have your keywords, write (or hire to write) an article per keyword. One a day is fine, but try to do one every day. Post the article on your site, then submit it to EZA, Goarticles, ArticleBase, and Article Dashboard.

Using a flip or webcam, create a video and submit it using tube mogul (also free) for each keyword.

Now, go and sign up for onlywire (also free). Sign up to facebook, twitter, digg, delicious, buzz, stumbleupon, and up to 5 others if you want (those are the big ones). Bookmark one page of your site each day, but no more! No spamming the poor social sites like everyone else.

Making Money

Set up a landing page to build an email list, then have the download page offer a product for a reduced price. I always have this product at the regular price on my site so that they can see that they are saving money.

Send quality information daily and promote something no more often than once weekly, but still give information with the promotion.

Reinvesting

I recommend investing in

Aweber, linkjuicer, easypushbutton traffic, and seo linkvine. Additionally, Ninja Affiliates is a very cool wordpress plugin that replaces your keywords with links and cloaks them.

Learning

Check out Cenay Nailor's blog, you'll learn a ton about SEO and wordpress. The War Room is amazing also. Other than that, just get work done!

Hopefully this helps someone,
