SUBJECT: Lesson #2 - Digging Around For A Niche (that's worth it...)

{!firstname_fix}

It’s time for your second lesson. I hope you found lesson one
informative and that you are ready to get started researching
topics for your new information product.

This is one of the most talked about subjects in Internet
marketing and can be like the search for King Solomon's mines.

The good news is it really doesn't have to be that difficult and
you can find profitable niches with ease it just requires you to
think slightly outside the box.

This step is the exact method I use to find profitable niches
and is pretty easy to do!

The first thing you need to do especially with your first
product is find a niche that interests you.

This is not always the case and there will be plenty of
profitable niches that you do not really interest you at all,
but with your first product it is a good idea to find a niche
that you have some sort of interest in. It will make the job
easier for you.

If you are having difficulty thinking of a good niche that you
have interest in, the best thing to do is think about your
hobbies.

Just think of things that you enjoy doing like cooking, playing
computer games, fishing, DIY, Ebay, collecting stamps etc...

The other thing I should mention here is try not to spend too
much time thinking about this as it can prevent you from taking
action!

Ok, so once you have got your niche the first thing you need to
do is see if it is profitable and people are looking for it!

Remember don't spend too much time on this just think of
something you have an interest in and move on to the next step.

The next thing you need to do is determine how many people are
searching for your niche.

To do this you will need a good keyword tool like the one found
here: freekeywords.wordtracker.com

There are many more that you can use and you can find them by
doing a quick search for "keyword tool" in your browser. But for
this course we will stick with the one above because it's fast,
free and easy.

Now, perform this test. Go to the link above and type in your
main topic, for instance dog training. When you click the button
you will see a list of the top keywords on that topic plus how
many times the words have been searched for.

By performing this search you will be able to get a good idea if
the niche you are interested in is a popular one with lots of
people looking for products related to it.

Keep in mind that your niche search results should have more
than 1000 searches per month at the very least 500. This is a
rough estimate, but it will still give you a good idea of
weather or not you should move forward in that niche.

If you did the test above you've seen that the top main phrases
associated with dog training are:

free dog training tips dog training collars in home dog training
dog training collar dog training tips

At least at the time I am writing this. Result will vary.

So you should now do the same with the topic of your choice and
pick the top 5 phrases that are being most searched for in your
niche.

If you followed the above steps and your niche has less than 500
searches per month then you may want to find another because it
may not be worth putting the work in to creating a product on
that topic if there are so few looking for it!

So if you have a very small niche, try and think of another
niche with more search results.

Once you have found a niche with a decent amount of search
results move it time to move on to Step 3 where we will find out
if your niche will make you money and we will cover that in your
next lesson. Be sure to look for it tomorrow!
