Ruck,

Yahoo Groups, a great Idea for Market Research. I belong to a few but never consider them for research purposes… Thanks for the whack on the side of the head.

It’s interesting to read the comments. Many of the questions that I had have been commented on and mostly answered.

Deb said: “Do you use a translator tool to post to non-english speaking countries?”

I can offer some input here. I’m an American that retired to Mexico about 7 years ago and at the time the extent of my Spanish was ‘Senorita’ and ‘Margarita’. Needless to say, my Spanish has improved over time but I am no means fluent.

The ‘translator tools’ are ok for survival Spanish (or pick your preferred language) but to sell an info product? Forget it. Find a native speaker on elance that can translate the English version that you have.

Just my 2 cents.

Great post Ruck. I really like how you are trying to lead people in a direction with their thinking rather than just force feed the information. It gets the creativity going. It was great to read through all the comments and see the lightbulbs go in as people began to realize that this tool is for finding the niche; not necessarily for traffic generation. Both are crucial to our success, but each has their own place in the puzzle.

Newbie here. This is a great idea! I have been a member of a lot of Yahoo groups and found some message threads annoying, but looking at this new perspective, I should have paid more attention to the discussions going on in my group instead of deleting the messages in my mail :) One more area to look for discussions in the internet is reading forums. Unfortunately, there is no forum directory (as far as I know), but it’s a great place to look for people discussing their problems (and giving out answers)

What kind of members number are you looking for in a group in order to decide that it’s worth taking a chance creating a mini niche business ?
