Who Says the IM Niche is Saturated?

6 replies
I'm working on an eBook on Internet marketing (but it's not a "make money online" eBook...), and I've been essentially working without a title. I mean, I have a working title, but it's not flashy at all. Just very matter-of-fact. And, titles should have some flash, right?

I've been putting off picking out a name and registering a domain name until *after* the book is finished. But now I'm about halfway done and figured maybe it's time I start hunting for names.

After all, it's not going to be easy to find a good .COM domain in the Internet Marketing niche, is it?

I had a name in mind, but it wasn't too flashy. Very matter-of-fact again. Anyway, when I went to the domain registrar, I had (what I hope turns out to be!) a brilliant idea for a domain name. Surely, it must be taken, but I'll check anyway.

Lo and behold, it is available!

So, I registered that puppy pronto!

(I just checked my matter-of-fact domain choice, and it is taken...)

I think it's a pretty awesome name, and will fit nicely with the direction I'm shooting for. I am a bit surprised that no one's grabbed it before. Seriously. Maybe because it's a bit longish (4 words) but still people seem to grab everything!

And, I didn't even have to use any of the negative words (like assassin, and so on) that were the topic of discussion a few weeks back. Nor did I have to resort to any potentially offensive words either. All generic words. Didn't have to use Google or AdSense or any potentially infringing tradenames in the domain.

Maybe later some gurus will (hopefully!) be kicking themselves for not grabbing this one!

At any rate, just because a market may seem like it's pretty saturated doesn't necessarily mean you're not going to find a good .COM domain name for that niche!

      Of the four words, two are short-tail keywords and those are the front-most keywords.

      But, I'm seeing most of the value in the branding possibilities.

    Dan,

    I feel your excitement, best of luck to you with your new gem of a domain name... I just registerd 4 domains over the past few months (one in the IM niche) where I thought... holy crap... nobody has registered this domain name yet??? seriously??? am I dreaming, or is this real life??? lol...

    One of the niches, I was talking to a friend of mine about the domain name I registered, and they said "That must have been a parked domain for years? you must have at least paid 5 figures for that one didn't you"... nope, it was available!!! go figure... I have just gotten lucky I guess... already a ton of type in traffic...

    It doesn't matter if it's in the IM niche or any other niche... when you find a golden nugget gem of a domain name, GRAB IT before it is taken!!!

    Jared

    P.S. Dan, if you are so inclined, send me a PM with the new domain name that you just registered... I'm curious... I'll return the favor and send you my nuggets that I have recently registered...

      Well, now I'm afraid you might burst my little bubble.

    I can't understand how puppypronto.com was available either.

      If I wasn't trying to finish my eBook, I could so put a site on that.
