Choosing the right market can make or break your online business. Sometimes, those trying to get into online marketing often get stuck on this step, because they really have no idea which niches are worth working on. After all, nobody wants to spend months constructing a website that ends up with very little traffic simply due to the fact that there is very little demand for the niche in question.
So, how does one start discovering profitable niche markets? A number of Internet marketers suggest choosing a niche that you are either passionate about or have prior knowledge about. While this may work out in the end, the better way is to learn what people are really looking for and base your Internet business around that. Determining the demand of a particular niche is the very first step.
One way to do this is to use some free tools, such as the free Wordtracker keyword tool (http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com). Type in a search term and Wordtracker will show you the number of daily searches for up to 100 related terms. You want to select a term that has a decent number of daily searches – any number 10 or greater is worth considering. You may notice that the fewer number of words in a particular search term, the more searches it generally gets. As you can probably guess, search terms that contain more words get less traffic, but are generally easier to rank for.
Now, go to Google (http://www.google.com) and enter one of the search phrases in quotes. In the upper right hand corner of the search results page, you’ll see the number of pages indexed by Google that are exact matches for your search term. In general, when you are just starting out, try to target terms that have 20,000 or fewer competing pages when using exact match. Anything more than this will require some heavy duty SEO to rank well.
Once you learn that a particular subject with great search volume and relatively low competition, it’s time to head over to the Google Adwords Tool (https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal) to see if there is any money in the market. Enter your term and see if there are many advertisers bidding for your search phrase. If there are a good number of advertisers, it suggests that there is indeed money to be made in your market. If there are no advertisers, the search term you’ve chosen may not be commercial in nature, and thus may be difficult to monetize.
You’ve now found a niche that has excellent search volume, minimal competition, and strong monetization potential. Once you know how to find quality niches like these, you will be well on your way to earning some serious money online with niche marketing.
