Every new marketer want to know how to find a profitable niche. Now, there are the obvious (and often overpopulated) niches such as Weight Loss and Work at Home niches. But how can you go about finding a niche that may have a lower amount of competition, or at least enough space that you can offer something to the buyers in that market?

Once you have the basics down, I think you will find that finding new niches can be quite easy and even fun. And the basics themselves are quite simple.

Brainstorming

The first step in finding new niches is brainstorming. You can do this in a number of ways. You can get great ideas from looking up “forum” or “forums” in google, browsing through magazines, and drawing from past experience. Once you get the juices flowing you will find that pretty much every topic is a niche in and of itself. Write all of your ideas down and we’ll move on to the next step.

Researching Profitability

Next you will want to take all of your ideas and plug them or any related terms into a keyword tool such as Google Adwords Keyword Tool. You should look for your topic or related keywords to return about 2,000 searches a month before we consider it profitable and worth out time. This figure is just a suggestion, though. Some niches could be smaller and still highly profitable. But beginners should be cautious taking on a niche that they are unsure would fit this description. Be safe and go with something that gets at least 2,000 searches a month.

You can also run your topic and related terms through Google Trends. This will give you an idea of whether the niche is an evergreen niche, whether it is going in or out of style, or if it is perhaps seasonal.

Determining the Market

Next you will want to determine what and if this niche is marketable. You will want to look around online for both physical products and digital products that your niche are probably buying. You can look in several places for products including clickbank.com, paydotcom.com, amazon.com, etc. Look for things like affiliate programs, ebooks, other digital products and services, books on amazon, and other physical products. If there is a market for your niche, you can be sure that it is profitable.

This isn’t the end all to niche research. You will also want to learn as much about your niche as possible. Browse forums, blogs, and websites to learn about the questions your niche is asking, and information and services that they want or are in need of.

This evening I wanted to share with you some simple (but sometimes time consuming) methods I use to promote one of my new websites. All of these methods can help you get indexed by google quickly, get some traffic flowing to your sites, and start building backlinks.

RSS Submission

The first thing I do after setting up a new site and adding  a bit of content to it, is to submit the RSS feed to several of my favorite RSS submission services. My favorites include:

feedest

Feedage – Submit your RSS Feeds

IceRocket

FeedAgg.com | The Best Blogs and Feeds on the ‘Net – Beta

Feed Ping Free Website and Blog Multiple Submission Service

I also use these services to submit my EzineArticles Author RSS feed, Delicious individual tag RSS feeds, and any other RSS feed i can get my hands on that has links to my articles or content.

Free Ad Blogs

The next method that I use to get indexed quickly and get (welcome) backlinks is to post an article with links back to my website at the following sites:

Free Advertising Blog | 3stepAds (FREE)

Organic SEO (FREE)

Welcome to ArticleMarketingAutomation.com (Paid Service – distributes hand spun articles to several topic specific blogs)

Article Directories

Most marketers find that their biggest source of traffic comes from article directories.

- Submit as many articles as possible to EzineArticles.com . Can you write 5 a day? 10 a day? Can you outsource 50? Whatever you can do, just do it and get those articles on the web.

After submitting to Ezine Articles, I like to schedule all of my articles to be posted on my new site (if it’s a blog), one article a day. This  is very natural and active to google, making your site more appealing to the search engines, and allowing your site to get crawled for content more often by google.

Then I take my articles (the origina, not rewritten) and post them to other popular article directories such as: Buzzle, Go Articles, ArticleBase, ArticleDashboard, etc.

Social Bookmarking

Social Bookmarking comes in at the top of my list for getting indexed by google and beginning the traffic flow. Here are some of the sites that I regularly bookmark my websites with:

DIGG ,   Jumptags.com – Beyond Social Bookmarking

Clipmarks – What are you finding on the web?

Delicious

Add your URL to Google

Google – Bookmarks

reddit.com: what’s new online!

Mixx – Latest news and top videos and photos from around the web

ListYourPost – Do follow Social Bookmarking site

Yahoo! Buzz

Propeller

DmoZ

LinkWheel Building

Lastly, I begin building a linkwheel for the new website. If you are new to linkwheels, you can look at this for some visuals:  advancedlinkwheel

Here are just a couple of sites that I use to build my linkwheel:

Free Website – Wetpaint

Hubpages

Blogger

In addition, you can use all of the above steps to promote the elements of your link wheel. Continue using all of these suggestions to promote one another and vice versa.

I know I’ve missed some days of regular posting. Part of it was because of an upcoming product launch; But the other reason is that I’ve been spending some time with the family and enjoying time away from the computer.

One thing that has helped me IN my Internet Marketing ventures is to get AWAY from the computer. I keep a notebook and pen handy, so I can quickly jot down any ideas that come to mind.

Some of my best ideas come when I am far away from the computer.

So, I just wanted to remind you to get out… play with the kids, get involved in a hobby, spend time with your spouse. Don’t let your personal life suffer just because you are trying to make money online. That is the great thing about Internet Marketing.. it can often be spread out over your own timeframe.

How many times do you sit at the computer just thinking and stuck in a rut? Getting up and out is probably just the thing you need to reboot.

And yes, I threw in the pictures so that you could see the faces that keep ME going everyday!

Don’t they just put a smile on your face?

So, the next time you see that a fellow Marketer hasn’t posted on their blog lately, or can’t be reached immediately, give them a break; Because we all need to remember what REALLY matters in life, and that’s the people that are most precious to us and the time we get to spend with them.

If you do any kind of article marketing, write or rewrite for profit, this post is for you.

Accusations of plagiarism are kinda scary; But plenty of article writers are accused of just that everyday. Slight resemblances in articles and writings send up red flags for clients, and can hurt business. Avoiding such an embarrassing situation as simple as running your article through a plagiarism checker. My favorite is Article Checker.

Whether you rewrite your own content or the content of others, you’ll also want to avoid duplicate content. Wouldn’t it also be neat to know just how different your rewritten article is, so you can know whether or not to change it up a bit more? Duplicate Content Checker is awesome!

I hope you enjoy these two very simple, yet very valuable tools.

To your success,
