(Series) New Niche and Research
Ok before I begin I went ahead and picked a new niche. “NF” posted this in a comment on the last series post
The Dog training niche has been used extensively by all case studies i have seen and reports, ebooks, etc… It is like the only non-im niche all IM marketers are able to explain.
I think it would be more useful if you chose something else.
This is quite a good point. But let me explain why. It has everything to do with the ease of the market. The dog training niche is what we call an evergreen niche. Meaning you can make money in the niche all year long. Why? Because people don’t stop buying dogs. Golf on the other hand (My new niche choice) is down right now and about to hit an upswing as we get into spring.
That image is the basic graph of all keywords relating to golf. If you notice, at the beginning of the year is the low point. Then throughout the year there is an upswing. This will be good for this case study/series as I start off slow and build the momentum.
About halfway through the year you’ll notice from that graph that there is a sharp decline in searches. I don’t golf so I don’t know what big turn happens around July. I can only make a guess.
I’ve gone ahead and purchased a URL – bestgolfswingsecret.com
You’re more than welcome to follow along in this niche with me. However, it would be nice if you picked your own niche to jump into. I definitely understand. But please respect the fact that I am going to try and make this niche profitable. I only give you the URL so you can see what I am doing with the website as I move along.
(Series) This is what we are going to do.
Basically over the next few weeks I am going to show you how to build a list and how to make money from the beginning.
We’ll build out a complete site and then begin marketing to free sources. While our money is building up for the free sources we will open the doors to PPC advertising, move over to some banners/media buys, and then PPV advertising. Don’t forget the SEO that we will be receiving as well.
So I guess to start out we will need to pick a niche to jump into. I recommend that you watch the 40 minute video on niche research that I set up a few months back.
For the case of this series I am going to use dog training as the niche of choice. So before I jump into anything serious I need to so some research on the niche. What kind of products are out there and what kind of search volume is this getting?
Unfortunately for us Google has removed the sponsored links search so it might be a little more difficult to see what your competition is doing. You can always use the Google external keyword tool to gauge the competition. Make sure you do a good amount of surfing the web to see what kind of product competition there will be for your niche.
Once you have a good understanding of the competition you can begin your plan of attack. So for now I am going to surf some sites and I’ll get back to you in my next post with where I searched and what I found. Till then why don’t you watch that video on niche research and begin to pick a niche. Remember… You can make any niche profitable… It’s just a matter of how you attack it.
A New CashTactics Exclusive Series!
It’s the beginning of a new year and I wanted to start this off right for everyone.
While everyone is giving you BS posts on PPV marketing I’ll be taking you down a real road for profit! Let me explain some things first. I’ve been making a full time income from PPV for quite a while. If you have questions on PPV feel free to post them in the members forum. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t try PPV I’m just saying there are other more profitable ways to generate money. Unfortunately not everything you do with PPV will make you rich. Don’t buy into the hype of it all.
Over the next few weeks I’m going to cover a method for making money online that you can use for ANY niche! Best of all it is GUARANTEED to make you money. How many people can GUARANTEE you that you will make money. I’ll tell you what… If you follow this course and can’t make money after putting in some honest effort then I will pay back any and all expenses that you incur (just make sure to document everything that you do)
This method isn’t a one hit wonder that will die out in 2 weeks so you have to pump it back up and start all over again. I’m going to show you how to build a profitable online business.
I once paid $5,000 for what I’m about to teach you. So why am I going to give this away? Let’s just say that I am tired of all the bullshit that goes around online. I’m tired of people saying “HEY YOU CAN MAKE $14,597 A DAY WITH PPC”. While it may be true… You won’t start out making that much money. And most of the time the courses are full of holes.
The Beginning of a New Year – Starting Fresh
As we have come upon the close of 2009 I had to take some time (like everyone else) to reflect on what I have accomplished thus far. While I am quite pleased with the goals I have reached I am also disappointed with what I have not accomplished. So instead of telling you about the monetary goals I accomplished in 2009, I am going to tell you what I am going to do different in 2010.
- I have purchased HUNDREDS of domains with the hopes of eventually putting something on them. I literally spent over 5k in URLs alone. That’s a substantial amount of money just sitting there. So in 2010 I will not be renewing the majority of the URLs. In fact for the domains that have nothing on them I will be setting up my own version of a parked domain and then selling them off to private buyers and domain auction sites. In the end I’ll be keeping about 23 domains… No more domain buying sprees for me.
- I need to blog more… What more can be said. I blogged a total of 65 times in 2009. That comes out to just over one post a week. That’s not enough if I want to make the blog bigger and better. So to start out I am going to blog two times a week. I’m going to try and get blog posts out on Tuesday and Thursday of every week. Some weeks will be more. By the end of the year I want to be blogging four times a week.

Dear Ryan Moran Imposter… Are you retarded?
How retarded can you really be posting on a blog under someones name that isn’t yours. It’s not like I’m ever going to see you in real life… So why don’t you use your real name? Or at least the username people know you by in forums… Is your life that sad that you have to hide behind someone else?
Why would you be stupid enough to make a comment on a blog and then ask for the comment not to be shown?
“Were is Ruck we miss him. he use to provides lot of good shit. know it’s all random junk on this site. i hope u read this and take action to take this blog down if Ruck not going to be posting anymore. and please don’t post this comment”
If you don’t want something shown then man up and just email me. Or better yet call me up and tell me what you think… Here’s my phone number (503) 664-0329. Be a man about it you little pussy.
While you’re out and about manning up to things check out http://www.grammar-monster.com/ and start practicing up on your grammar. I have Indian article writers who know English better than you… Unless you are an Indian… Then shoot me over an email… I’ll pay for some grammar lessons… Then if you make the cut I’ll hire you on. A full $3 an article. I’m sure it’s better than what you’re currently making online.
Oh I also went ahead and changed your name to “Queer Eye For The Straight Guy”. My good buddy Ryan Moran also left you a comment on the blog.
Seriously though… If you have a problem with what is written here why do you keep visiting the site? I show multiple visits from the ip: 76.20.126.211 which happened to be the ip that left the comment. hmm… It’s sad really…
They did it again (this time for free)
Hey Guys and Gals,
It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. I do apologize for that. I’ve had a lot of things going on with several product launches and just life in general.
Anyways I want to tell you about a pretty AWESOME and FREE tool that the guys over at PPC Bully are giving away.
It’s…
A tool bar… Thats it really… But this toolbar has some pretty good functionality in it for PPC marketers!
Now, if you are like any other affiliate in the industry then you know very well how quickly you can have ” Information Overload”, especially when it comes to research and just keeping all of your most visited “PPC related websites” in line.
Luckily for us someone wised up and put together a great list of resources into one easy to install toolbar.
How many of us have a TON of bookmarks but no order to the list? I literally have HUNDREDS of bookmarks… And the worst part is I know that many of my bookmarks are duplicates because they get lost in the list… So I type in the URL manually and hit the “Bookmark” button all over again. Yeah I could organize them… But that takes too much of my time, especially with how many I have…
err… Anyways… PPC Bully’s new tool bar gives you all of the PPC links that you need in one location. They have resources for offer research, keyword research, niche research, website research, articles, and a bunch more.
There is even some build in functionality that works with the PPC Bully databases. You can essentially grab PPC Bully results for keywords. I paid $1400+ for the PPC Bully tool when it first came out… And now you can have it basically for free…
