This is quite easy with just a little work on your part.
I’ll take a totally random topic such as “landscaping” and type into Google search, “what is landscaping”

Several results are returned. One to catch my eye is from wisegeek.com, and it tells us…
“Landscaping is a profession which involves manipulating the natural environment in an area to make it look a certain way. This profession often relies heavily on gardening, but landscaping also involves the installation of walls and other features, the construction of buildings, and the consideration of an area as a whole. There are a variety of reasons to practice landscaping, ranging from a desire to make an area look attractive to a push to make an area functional for recreation.”

Just one paragraph, yet this information could be a fantastic start of an article, e-book, or blog post. This site, along with several others that the search returned, are chock full of good information that you could use.

Next, I typed in “landscaping how to”
When you type into the Google search box, there will appear below, suggested searches that people are activly searching.

This tells you what people in that niche are interested in, and what areas that you should be focusing on.

There is a really cool tool available that I use often, and is a tremendous time saver for researching new projects. It is called “Answer Analyst”

and there is a video on this page that describes what it will do for you.

It is a software product that is for sale, however, the time it has saved me in writing articles and researching new niches is priceless.

With some good information under your belt you can now easily compose a free report that can be given away to your readers, as well as some quality articles and many blog posts. You are now labled as an expert! keep up the good work.

Where do I Start?

How do I start?……..these are probably the most often asked questions that new marketers have when first starting out.

Most courses will tell you to “start a blog” or “find a niche that is profitable”, and yes, those could be good places to start, however, those two statements are very general in nature, with little or no real direction.

Let’s tackle the first one…..blogging.

Blogging is great….even awesome, if you have a clear and solid path that you are following. Such as…
* What is your topic
* Are there a lot of people interested in this
* Is this something you are knowledgeable about

These are a few things to consider before jumping right in.
Next, on to Niches….

Everyone tells you to “find a profitable niche”
I have a problem with that. What we should be teaching is “how to profit from your niche”

Now, not every single niche is going to be a goldmine, but most of them can be monetized in some manner.

Your First Step

I want you to write out as many topics that you care deeply about and have some knowledge in.

This should include hobbies, interests, opinions, likes, dislikes, everything.

*Do you remember this book?

*

It became a best seller and spawned a series of “chicken soup” spin offs that sold millions of copies. This book was nothing more than a compilation of OTHER people’s short, yet inspirational stories. The authors had an idea to compile some short stories into a book and see what happens. They didn’t even write the stories, just put them together into a book.

Why am I telling you this?

Just as an illustration of how easy it can be to make money with an idea. Granted, not every idea will be as successful as chicken soup, but you never know if you don’t try.

All About Niches

There are three areas in which people trying to make money online struggle, and fail. One, not knowing how to pick a product or niche. Two, not knowing how to drive targeted traffic to their site. And three, not taking action on either one or two.

Seriously, this is not rocket science, it’s just a matter of following a plan of action, and sticking to it. I know that I have said this before in other posts, but it deserves repeating….If you are indeed SERIOUS about an online business (yes, business!) then before you put in the time and effort of building a traffic system, get your own domain name, hosting, and auto responder. There are several, if not hundreds of reasons to have your own domain and hosting that I will leave for a later discussion.

O.K. hopefully you have your name, hosting and traffic getting blog in place. Now what?
The SEO blog software that you downloaded for free will optimize your blog, ping many different search engines every time you post, and more. Your job is to add content regularly……a couple 2 or 3 times a week is good. Next comes articles. short 300 or so word articles written around the different keywords for your chosen niche, with a link back to your site in the author bio box. Submit each article to about 25 free article directories. Book mark the articles using social bookmarking sites, such a “delicious”
Articles bring traffic. plain and simple. with some practice, you should be able to see your article in the first few pages of search results, if you chose your keyword phrases carefully. This will become steady, long term, free, targeted traffic!

Another source where you can get almost immediate traffic is with “Backpage ads” This is a free ad site that Google loves. In fact, you can get fast search ranking with Craigs list as well.One more free tool that gets good rankings, is Squidoo. The only problem with Squidoo nowadays is that they have gotten very fussy about what topics you can write about and number of links that you can post. However, if you just stay within their T.O.S you will not have any problems and should enjoy some quality free traffic from there as well. I could go on and on with more resources, linking strategies, video, audio, out sourcing and more. The fact is, if you write articles and keep writing articles, this alone will bring hoards of traffic. The key is to get busy and DO something. Stay focused on your task and you will get there.

Years ago, when I was trying my hand at MLM, there was a fella who spent roughly 10 hours a day on his vacation from work (he teaches school) surfing traffic exchanges. The results you get from traffic exchanges are dismal at best, however he kept surfing, and tracking his results, and managed to fill his matrix!…….I use this example only to show that action is truly a factor. There is no magic button, there are some programs that can help, but short of outsourcing everything, nothing takes the place of taking action.
