So frustrated.. I can't do this but I don't want to quit
First I found a niche I thought was great. i'm not going to hide the niche because I wont be doing it and it was a bad decision i think. Language learning.
I had the website built, just needed to add content. I had over 25 keywords. What happened?
A couple of my main keywords which had about 20,000 results in google, shot up when i next looked to over 70,000! I have no idea how but they did. This is in quotes. So the difficulty to get ranked high went up straight off the bat.
Also I realised that if it requires the right keywords to sell products, having over 25 means "nothing" if they arn't going to capture people who want to purchase what I promote. Then I looked at the keywords which are useful and saw that they had been targeted by 2 specific people who are authorities in that niche which I am certain I can not out rank. Every time I would enter a god keyword of mine, they would be 1 and 2 in Google. I do not think it's wise to pursue this niche when i'm hitting for what? 10% traffic on the keywords by being in position 3..
Also I realised that language learning is not a good niche. It does not have levels of micro niches to ding into. Either it's promote this learning software or promote that learning software. There is no real sub niche. If I was to narrow it down to learning a specific language..I would be cutting off most of the target audience and even then the 2 other guys would still out perform me.
So After this I decided to look for another niche in which I could use my website template on. I've hit a brick wall and it just seems impossible.
I want to make sure I chose the right niche because I really need to be making at least a few hundred a month in 6 months time and do not have years for trial and error.
I believe the main reason i'm confused and stuck is because all the guru videos and guides which contradict eachother. I end up not knowing what to believe.
It's like:
Amount of google results do matter!
no no no
Only the top 10 matter!
Use exact on GKT
no no no
Use phrase or broard match
Amazon products are over saturated
no no no
There are still ways to make lots of money with them
Amazon is bad because of the 4% low commission
no no no
Amazon is great because the trust factor and whatever they buy with your cookie you get commission
Just pick a high gravity product on CB and promote it
no no no
CB products are 90% crap and the 10% good are over saturated
the list goes on and on
Also the guides are completely dumbed down to a rediculous level. For example a teacher will tell you to go to Amazon and chose a popular product, find low competition keywords and make a site.
This completely eludes me. Popular products are saturated to high heaven, low competition "decent" keywords don't exist in worth while places and I find the competition is always to high.
As for click bank.. it's so over saturated on the decent products that I have no idea how it's possible to promote anything on there.
To me.. it's like .com URL's. 99.9% of the good valuable ones are "gone". And this is the same for all Amazon products and Click bank products. I mean why would there be any low competition things left? a couple of sites in which millions of people try to creat affiliate sites upon... seems the odds of finding one that many others have not seen/tried is very very low.
To top it off, I still am not sure if I should promote Amazon products, CB products or a totally different Affiliate programme.
I'm scared of choosing a bad niche and failing in the limited time I have to make this work.
Can anyone provide some advice which can clear my mind
thanks
