Fellow Warriors,

How do you find out if the niche you are targeting will be profitable?

How many keyword searches a month should be there to make enough sales?

Thanks in advance,
Tijs

    If people are buying magazines about it, or buying magazines which include articles about it, then it's potentially profitable.

    If there's a reasonably wide variety of people continually advertising on Google's AdWords, then it's potentially profitable.

    That has no relevance at all to me. I see that it does to other people, and that it can (perhaps) be indicative of overall search engine traffic availability, but it's not helpful to me, because compared with many traffic sources those are mostly not potential visitors who will opt in or buy anything anyway.
  • If that niche has related physical products, check amazon. If people are buying it then that is profitable. Check google keyword tool as well for the keywords. if people are looking for it (using buyer keywords) then that is profitable.

    • This is what you need to look for with Google Keyword Tool.

      Just because something is getting a ton of searches doesn't mean it is going to be profitable.
      Just for example the term "chicken breast recipes" get's roughly 74,000 Local Searches(Exact Match; if using Google Keyword Tool always click exact matches). People searching for these aren't really going to be buying anything online, maybe a few things at the grocery store that's it.

  • Personally, I look for things like:

    buy [product]
    [product] review
    cheapest [product]

    Depends on what you are targeting too, you can use things like
    [product] tutorial
    [product] discount
    [product] coupon code

    Just think of things you would type in if you were searching to buy a product online
  • Their is great sharing but am bit confused about keyword research and targeting audience
  • I think you should check CPC. Thats what my book recommended
  • There's a big difference,

    Instead of taking the time to explain it all here. I found a video that should help clear somethings up for you. Keyword Match Types - YouTube For some reason I can't get the video to embed

  • If you see lots of consistent paid ads in your in your niche it a good indication people is making money in your niche, It very unlikely that people will repeatedly spend money on paid ads that is not making them money.
  • One of the easiest ways before you build out any funnels is to direct link to check for buyer intent.

    Create a Facebook PAge (nothing flash, just get one up), and direct link. IF you are in the MMO or Dating niches, be careful but otherwise Facebook does not mind at all.

    Just cloak your links and run some ads.

    Use the info from other posters to find good targeting.

    If you run a bunch of traffic and no conversions, then perhaps the offer or the niche isn't a god one. All comes down to testing.
  • I actually think that any niche can be profitable. It's just a matter of how profitable.
  • I think it would be much better if people stopped focusing on keywords and did proper market research.
    If you do the proper research, you will know
    which keywords to target.
