Hi DrNarie:;
Thanks for the reply.I have my favorite niches that I'm passionate about but my main point was that it doesn't take a long time and there are other avenues that you can pursue to find great niches.
To answer your question, I build relevant landing pages for any product I select to sell after I research it a little more. After I find a niche market that I think may pan out I research the forums concerning the product to see just what needs surround the product. that also helps target an audience as well.
If it's worth pursuing further, good commissions, great audience, sponsored ads are doing well, which brings up another point, that being you can keep an eye on sponsored ads to get some indication of how well a product might be doing.
If an ad or 2 is consistently in the sponsored section for a week or 2 then you may want to take a look at the sites that these ads are associated with an kinda see what audience that they are catering to in that digital light photography category. Obviously I may have gotten a little deep with this but my reason is that so many people want to find profitable niches and think that it takes a long time to do but realistically it doesn't. Sundays paper is a good place to look. see what's hot sellers for christmas, I say that because of the time of the year. follow trends. take notice of people around you and you may even pick up on some fads in clothing, shoes etc.
A simple page a couple of articles surrounding some relavent keywords will get your page listed if done right. Generally a 400-500 page article with the keywords in the title and every 100 words thereafter throughout your article submitted to a couple top directories like ezine articles, go articles etc. When doing your keyword research on google do it in "quotes". If results come back
less than 5,000 then you have a very good chance of a first page placement. I do it all the time. First page placements means free traffic. The right keywords means targeted traffic. whatever keywords you use thats going to be your audience. so choose wisely. this stuff can get deep!!
But like Linda says the easier ones for newbies are the ones that you know stuff about. Stuff I don't know about I research up on it some so that I at least know a little about it.
If you're going to draw visitors and you want to convert a relevant landing page is key.
I hope I don't get into trouble for writing long replies (lol)
I just get so excited when I can help!!!!!!!
Cheers,
Salamei
