Just how do you go about selecting the best niche or niches for your online business to exploit? After all information or e-book marketing is a proven and lucrative business but for those without the right know how, choosing a niche market can be both time consuming and disheartening.
Fortunately there are tried and tested methods for finding suitable niches, which anyone can adapt and use in their own business. In this article I want to highlight a very simple, straightforward strategy for finding as many profitable niche markets to sell e-books in to as you could ever want.
First go to:-
This is an amazingly useful site for finding out how popular a niche is and it doesn’t cost a penny to sign up to.
Just type in any niche markets which interest you. For instance, if you are interested in organic gardening you would type in “organic Gardening”. All you need to do then is list all of the sub niches within the general niche of organic gardening. These are all potential niches for your business to exploit.
Often overlooked, the major bookselling organisation Amazon is an incredible resource for finding niche markets. In the search bar on the company’s website, select books and then type in the niche that you would like to create a product for. Market gardening would once again be a good example. The results of this search will provide plenty of insight into potential sub niches at which your e-book can be aimed. The topics covered by the books, DVDs or CDs in your niche interest will show you what are the main concerns of your potential niche. Check the sales rankings as an indication of demand.
Don’t worry because you are not going to be competing with Amazon. You are going to be catering to the market in a very different way. As an e-book publisher your customers can download your products straight away rather than having to wait days or even weeks for their books to arrive from Amazon.
Another bonus is that downloadable info products tend to be regarded as having a higher perceived value than their physical paper and print counterparts. Selling a book through Amazon may make you fifteen dollars but as a downloadable e-book it could fetch up to fifty.
The Dummies company, are master craftsmen when it comes to creating products for niche markets and their website is a superb research tool for the e-book publisher to use. You will find masses of niche topics and ideas within the “for dummies” book range. Simply search through their titles in general niches that interest you and make a list of all the possible e-book topics that you see.
Article directories are, just about the best way to find subjects to create e-books around. The directory Go Articles is just one of many in which you can go to the site, type in a niche subject in the search bar and get literally thousands and thousands of e-book ideas.
Websites.
Visit existing websites catering to your potential niche. What solutions do they offer? If the site runs a forum or notice board, what are the most commonly discussed topics? How does the website look? Could you provide better solutions for their customers?
Magazines.
Go to your local major bookseller/magazine retailer and look at publications aimed at the niche in which you are interested. Buy a few to study. What questions are asked in the letter pages? What is being advertised? What concerns do the editorials commonly express? Could an e-book provide solutions?
Use of the above research methods will help you to get a definite feel as to the potential of any niches that you have an interest in.
Done properly e-book or info publishing can be a very profitable business model. You won’t become a millionaire overnight with one site or one product but, build a network of sites, and you can get there. The key here is being able to come up with an endless amount of niche product ideas. Then all you need to do is create the product.
That’s easy to say isn’t it? “All you need to do” is create a product. They’re hard to create right? Actually, no they are not. There is plenty of no cost content online for you to use and some good software products to help you turn it into a quality e-book. If you don’t want to create your own product simply go to and you will have experienced writers bidding to do the work for you.
You are an internet marketer, not a writer. Have one product created, set up pay per click campaigns, write a press release and blast a few articles over the net on the topic of your e-book. Create another and then another and so on………..
Multiple streams of autopilot income are the secret of all wealthy entrepreneurs. Now anyone can set up multiple income streams filling their bank accounts twenty four seven thanks to e-books and the internet.
What is Niche Marketing? What is SEO? Let’s see if we can answer these questions.
Niche marketing with SEO isn’t quite self explanatory – so here’s a simple overview. A niche is simply a product category that people are looking for and that doesn’t have overwhelming competition on the supply side of the demand/supply equation.
The ideal niche is one that has great demand and little or no supply available. Such niches are rare. You could spend a lifetime looking for one and never find it – so don’t count on this if you are planning to do niche marketing.
Fortunately, niche marketing with SEO doesn’t require that one’s niche be ideal to be good from our perspective – just good enough. Most people who set up marketing websites don’t research the competition very thoroughly while picking the market in which they are going to operate. This is a good thing for those of us in the know about online market research.
By picking a niche with relatively high demand and low supply, and by “optimizing” our website to attract the notice of the search engines, we can compete successfully in the marketplace.
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It consists of two parts: on-page optimization and off-page optimization. On-page optimization is mostly a matter of picking a keyword for your page that matches the informational theme of the page. A web page with the theme “niche marketing” would have “niche marketing” in the keywords meta-tag in the Page Source” view of your browser.
Off-page optimization is effected by the recognition accorded your web page by other webmasters – primarily expressed as links from their websites to yours. Search engines are able to track both optimization factors – and they give more weight to the latter than to the former.
A page will have matured when other niche marketing websites, known to be authorities, contain links pointing to the page. SEO is a big subject and you will see it referred to repeatedly throughout many websites concerned with niche marketing. The first question that should occur to you at this point is – What Am I Going to Sell?
Rather than pick a product that is familiar to you – or one that you can create yourself – both of which are very tempting choices – I strongly suggest that you decide at the outset to pick one that you know people want. In other words do the market research first – find out what people are actually looking for and that can be sold profitably – and then decide what to sell.
If your research leads you to a subject that is not the most familiar, don’t let it throw you. Learn the subject and then sell it. It is likely that you will find a niche in an area with which you already have some familiarity, because you are likely to start with something familiar as you begin doing the research. It is best if this is so, because you can write most capably about a subject about which you care passionately.
What Do I need to Know to Do Niche Marketing with SEO?
In simplest terms you need to know:
* How to set up a website properly,
* How to select the search engine keywords that will bring traffic to your website,
* How to structure your website to be ranked highly by the search engines – so it appears on the first page of “results” that a search engine displays when a visitor searches for your keywords,
* How to “monetize” your web traffic to create multiple streams of income, and
* How to lead your sites visitors to a decision to buy what you are selling – without using a heavy-handed sales pitch. This is called “pre-selling”.
The first of these questions is answered very thoroughly by sources that I will reference in subsequent articles. It is a big subject – bigger than I can include in this article.
The choice of keywords has also been covered by many writers on the subject. Each has his own angle on how to do the research, and some provide useful tools either free or at modest cost.
How To “Monetize” Your Website
To monetize your website is simply to connect your site’s readers with an opportunity to buy something in such a way that you make money in the process. There are a number of good choices in this regard, and you can use more than one of them.
For starters, you can directly sell something via your website using your own merchant account or PayPal account. Your product might be a tangible item that you are prepared to drop-ship to your customer – or it might be a piece of software, an e-book, or an information product that you will deliver immediately as an electronic file.
Then again, you might sell a product produced by a company of whom you are an affiliate. There are many good affiliate programs available. In this case you simply include on your website a link that takes the reader to a website provided by the product supplier. The link identifies you to the supplier, so if the reader becomes a customer, you get a commission on the sale. Such commissions can run as high as 75% and be very profitable to you.
And/or you might contract with a product or service provider to be paid a fixed fee for each referral that you send their way via your website.
And/or you might sell advertising space on your website, either using Google’s Adsense program, which will pay you on a per-click basis, or through one of several other available programs. Some of these pay you on a weekly or monthly basis and can be more lucrative than Adsense ads.
A Note On Monetizing
One of the most common mistakes that beginners make when setting up a commercial website is to monetize the site too soon. Until the site contains enough useful content, its readers should not be expected to trust its author enough to buy anything on the site. Why should they? The traffic to the site will tell you when that trust has been established – then you will have “earned” the right to monetize it.
If you monetize too soon, before you have at least thirty highly informative pages and twenty unique visitors per day, then you run the risk that both search engines and human visitors will just see the site as a sales pitch – and accord it little value or rank.
The Value Of “Pre-Selling”
As I said earlier, most Internet surfers are not looking for advertising when they use the search engines. They are looking for useful information – authoritative information that informs them about the subject of interest to them. When you provide such information, you gain credibility in your readers’ eyes that you could never acquire by presenting them with a sales pitch.
Niche marketing is all about credibility. As your readers recognize the intrinsic value of the information that you provide, they become more open to the idea of buying something from you. As this occurs, the likelihood that they will buy from you rises, the percentage of visitors who are “converted” into customers rises accordingly – and the ease with which you make money online soars.
If you are serious about making money with niche marketing, the next thing you need to study is the choices you will need to address in deciding how you will go about doing so.

You can make Internet niche marketing very profitable as long as you study the industry and make an honest effort to learn everything about the industry. Even if you lack a formal education, you can excel in Internet niche marketing as long as you understand the industry’s key elements. These key elements include selecting a niche carefully, organizing an effective marketing campaign, and learning the trends in the industry.
Select a Niche Carefully
Selecting a niche carefully is an important component of a smart Internet niche marketing campaign. A niche is a specific subdivision of a broader category. The owner of a niche website is knowledgeable about a particular topic and can create quality content that is highly informative and accurate. Knowledge of a particular niche subject is one of the first factors you must know when you select a niche. Ideally, you should select a niche that interests you and you know a lot about.
The second factor is to look for a topic with a large potential audience but not many other websites are competing for the attention of these Internet users. An exceptional niche website can enter a crowded market and excel but it does take more effort because customers tend to be loyal; swaying them can be more difficult than winning the loyalty of new customers.
Organize an Effective Internet Marketing Campaign
Once you have selected a niche, it is time to orchestrate an effective Internet marketing campaign. This campaign may include commercial websites, informative websites, message boards, e-newsletters, ebooks, email campaigns, or any combination of these components. Most likely you will include websites as part of any Internet marketing campaign. It’s important to develop keywords relevant to the niche and optimize your websites for these keywords.
Even though optimizing your websites for particular keywords is important to achieve high search engine rankings, it is also crucial to consider your target audience as you design your website. While high search engine rankings will increase traffic flow to your website, a clever design is also important to meet the needs and expectations of your target audience. High search engine rankings will bring in traffic but it is equally important to capture your visitors’ attention.
Stay Up-to-Date on Current Issues in the Industry
Remember that Internet marketing keeps evolving and it is important to stay current with new trends in the industry – you don’t ever want to be left behind in your niche.
One way to stay current with the latest trends is to participate in message boards focused on Internet marketing. Through these communities, you can voice your opinions on different marketing strategies. Smart Internet marketers can use this information to formulate their own opinions and test strategies, which they are discussing as new and innovative.
You can find informational websites offering instructional articles and success stories, message boards offering a place for those involved or interested in the industry to share information or ask questions, and commercial websites offering e-books, classes and other instructional services.
You can also learn a great deal about niche marketing and niche trends by examining competing websites in your niche. Your competitors’ websites can reveal which elements of website design are most effective for reaching potential customers. Understanding this will help you to create a niche website that is superior to the competition.

Many people out there are taking unfair advantage of the Internet and the opportunities to conduct niche marketing on the Internet. More often than not, unfortunately, many of these brave soldiers fail in the endeavor of setting up a niche market.
It’s true that most of the money can be found in niche marketing. Why? Because niche markets by their very nature cater to a very specific need in a highly-specialized manner. And these very specific needs are demanded by very exacting people who can pay top dollar. More than that, if you are to provide of these needs, you ought to be the sole provider. It’s almost as if to find a niche market is to monopolize the supply of that service.
An example would be providing ballet shoes so flexible, you can fold the shoe at a 45-degree angle and still be able to keep anyone on their toes. Very few ballet dancers can do that and only one shoemaker provides for it.
The scam here is not the fact that niche market providers will cheat you. Instead the scammers are those business folks who author self-help books and CDs telling you that creating a niche market is as natural as blinking.
These people could fool you into pouring all your capital into a venture that is likely doomed to fail because the risk of the market niche is the high risk of running out of customers or gaining competition.
Many people who seriously employ internet marketing strategy despair at the idea of discovering a niche market. They know that the likelihood of that is parallel to finding the Holy Grail in your garage.
The market niche is unique because it cannot survive if there is competition. The niche market should be clear and free-exactly like a monopoly so that the producer can be free. This is the first cut; the second cut comes from the customers.
You product has to be so special, so specific, so attuned to the needs of your customers that you need time to perfect your craft. More often than not, niche market products are custom-made for each customer.
This kind of production takes a lot of time and that is why the market needs to be free of competition so that they can pour their efforts onto the product. But that is not where the cut can be inflicted. Clients of niche markets are discerning, they pay top dollar to get (if not exactly, then something better than) what they want.
Here comes the rub, if you are not the best at what you do, then forget it! This means, people who have no ambition except to laze about their houses and who are looking for easy money on the Internet cannot possibly undertake the rigors of maintaining a niche market.
Okay, maybe I was a little hard on niche marketing but this article is not made to discourage you from the activity. As a matter of fact, if there’s any marketing technique I would suggest it would be niche marketing. However, you need to understand that niche marketing is not impossible but it also isn’t easy. You need to give it time and effort. If you don’t know the specific strategies, then you need to give time to start learning. Niche marketing is not a magic solution to your financial needs. It is a job, and it requires commitment.

Unless you’ve been hibernating for the last couple of years, you’ve probably heard the term “Niche Marketing” a lot. It’s one of the current buzz-words in online marketing. Which is kind of funny really since niche marketing has actually been around pretty much as long as marketing has existed. But what is it?
I recently read somewhere that “All marketing is Niche Marketing”.
I don’t entirely agree with that – I’d say “ALMOST ALL marketing is Niche Marketing”.
Niche Marketing is marketing products or services to groups of people (or businesses) who have specific needs or interests in common.
Obviously department stores and their online cousins don’t fit that description, but almost everything else is …
you guessed it; “Niche Marketing”.
In the physical world, your local butcher, baker and candlestick maker (sorry, a LITTLE joke there – very little), greengrocer, shoe store, etc, etc. all cater to niche markets, some more focused than others.
And in the online world, any web site that focuses on a particular topic is a niche web site, and that describes the vast majority of web sites online today and in the past. So, those that are marketing any kind of product or service are probably already into “Niche Marketing”, and may not even know it.
Some niches are more crowded and competitive than others. The niches focusing on internet marketing and making money online are probably the most crowded and competitive online, and getting more so every day.
So, it’s becoming harder and harder for people just entering that market to make any inroads, let alone a big impact.
But, don’t panic, there are lots of other niches that are far less crowded and competitive.
The current emphasis on “Niche Marketing” could probably be more accurately termed;
“marketing to niches other than the ‘making-money’ niche”.
Which opens up a lot of possibilities for people just starting out in online business.
Do you have a hobby or hobbies? Play a sport? What are your interests, are you passionate about or obsessed with a particular subject or activity? (keep it clean, folks)
If so, chances are there are other people who share the same interest and that’s a potential Niche Market! The same applies to any other hobbies and interests that you could name.
You need to do some research to determine if a particular niche or a related “sub-niche” is likely to be profitable.
For example, you’ll need to check out:
1. Demand – how many people are searching online for related info and/or products.
2. Competition – how many other websites or businesses are already catering to that market?
3. Are people actually spending money in this niche?
Now that’s all well and good, but …
How do you find out all that stuff?
And that brings us to …
