What Are the Desperate Niches?

Hi Eric,

Yeah long tail keywords are really important to find. I normally use Wordtracker for my keyword research.

Hi,

Well yeah there are many kind of "desesperate" people. I see no harm in trying to explore these niches because you are giving them a solution, trying to solve theirs problems. Isn't that what we are supposed to do, regardless of the niche? I mean do you think all (or any) guide that involves betting on something, poker guides or other guides directly related to gambling work? And what about weight loss guides, that anyone considers a good niche to work on, do all the ebooks or training guides, videos, whatever, solve the person's problem? And acne ebooks, do kids really get an acne-free face because of an ebook? I don't think so...

And I could go on and on with examples. What you do provide is information, and that is what people are looking for. They want to know more about gambling tacticts, more about how to lose weight and more on how to fight acne, as they want to know more about leukemia or alzheimer's... It is just the way it is. The only difference is they look much more than any other niche because they are desesperate. In a way all niches can have desesperate buyers but some have more than others! WoW guides can be sold to "desesperate" players that just want to get their character as quickly as possible to the maximum guide. Panic attacks guides can be sold to anyone that want to learn more about them.

Thank you for your message, I think that some people follow those rules because that is just the way it is. However this is how I see things. :rolleyes:

Hi Jeff,

I really liked your post, I agree with it, specially the last part:

"Publishing information that doesn't help is wrong...but getting paid for information that is solid, there's nothing wrong with that."

This is what I really wanted to say and make clear. Many thanks for your contribution.

The point is Jeff unless the maker of the eBook has considerable experience in the area then the book will have little or no value.

How can someone with no experience in these specific areas or a ghost writer motivated only by money produce anything of real value?

Any research will have come from Google anyway, and the reader can do that for themselves.

People need real, experienced, qualified solutions to their serious issues.

But James - ask yourself this - how are you qualified to help someone in that area?

You are messing with peoples lives - literally.

I receive many emails from people who are seriously at the end of their motivation to continue - some suicidal. It sometimes takes days of communication to help them to see the positives so they can move forward.

These people are seriously disturbed and will do anything to change things around at any cost - even, as is often the case, they have no money.

I don't need telling what to do because I have been doing it far longer than most of you, but always, always in the most positive way.

I also write all my own material, straight from my Mind, based upon my own life experiences.

You should never, ever write about something you do not have direct experience with and can offer something new and valuable, especially when you are dealing with the lives of real people.

Consider this - and I am serious - your eBook may be their last hope before they kill themselves. How would that make you feel? Thing is though you would never know - all you would know is the 37 bucks you extracted from them before they took their own life.

Seriously - many of these "desperate niches" are like that.

Pet owners, such as myself, care deeply about our pets, and would do anything for them at any cost if necessary. Exploiting people with a sick pet is reprehensible.

So what is the positive approach?

How to keep your pet in the best of health.

There - not so difficult is it, and that would provide a valuable eBook that could bring lots of happiness to people who love their pets.

But only if you you are an expert in this area or knows someone personally who is who will cooperate with you.

Here is a tip for you.

If you wish to produce an eBook like this - say keeping your dog in perfect health - go find a local expert at the local breeders or dog clubs or whatever, tell them you want to help others to keep a healthy dog, and just interview them and find out as much as you can.

Such people will talk for hours and be overjoyed at helping others to keep their much loved dog healthy. Take a voice recorder with you to record the interview so you can play it back as you write your eBook. You could even offer them a percentage of the profits.

Then write a real, qualified and above all valuable eBook entitled:

Dog Health Secrets of a Championship Winning Breeder

I just made that up - but you see what I mean.

You may well become so interested in the niche that you become involved and an expert in your own right, so you can take it further - a membership site perhaps.

Again - this is the positive and fulfiling approach that can and will help lots of people.

Or - how to keep your girl/boy friend satisfied - and I don't mean in the way you think

Always look to improve the quality of life, not to exploit misery.

Above all - only write from your own personal experience.

Almost all successful IM businesses are based on a single niche in which the owner is an expert in some way.

Everyone has some ability or experience to share with others.

Example:

Margie Garrison is a lady in her 70's living in Florida who suffered from chronic arthritis which is a very debilitating disease.

So she researched and found a solution,and then shared it with others.

She has made, even in her 70's now - she was 43 when she found the cure but only published it years later when the Internet made it possible - many millions of dollars from this one sales letter and eBook:

Cure your Arthritis

That is not an aff link.

You see that is what it is all about.

One solution you can share from experience, one business.

If you put your Heart and Soul in to a single website with the single objective of helping others based upon your own experience, or at least an expert you can liaise with, you will succeed beyond your wildest dreams.

Much better that you are the expert with the passion, because it will be reflected in your eBook and sales letter, and your customers wll pick up on that and trust you enough to buy the eBook.

If you choose to exploit misery, you will cause more misery, perhaps worse, and bring it upon yourself - and believe me - you will.

That is what everyone should take away from this thread.

They may not always be suicidal, but desperation and misery go hand in hand.

I deal with people like this all the time as part of what I do.

That does not necessarily mean they were effective - just good sales letter and plenty of affiliates.

That said, if they were written by people with back pain and found a solution, then that is excellent. In fact can you please give me the titles

Values and motivations has zero to do with it.

75% of my time is spent helping people who ask for it and need it, the other 25% on positive IM.

My comments are based on my experience of the people these "desperate" eBooks are aimed at. Trust me - by the time you have dealt with a few suicidal people who had no one else to turn to, because no one else cared, then you would appreciate what I am saying.

I think that any book that genuinely helps people are great. But what is being discussed here is finding groups of desperate people to cobble together an eBook without any experience - or have it ghost written by someone without any experience - and touting it as a "solution" to their misery. Now that is not acceptable to any normal human being.

It is simple - if you have something profound to share -and most people do - then write an eBook and make it your primary niche, in the process building a big IM business and genuinely helping others - it is a win-win situation.

Why cannot people see that?

No - we are not talking about people writing information generally, this thread is about how to profit from misery with no qualified knowledge with which to base that "solution" - big difference. People like that should be living in mud huts.
