Finding Niche Markets

Finding niche markets for info products can be an absolute killer if you don’t know where to look. Whilst publishing niche ebooks is a proven business that can make you a lot of money, finding niches to exploit can be both time consuming and disheartening if you struggle to find any good markets.

Thankfully there’s hope. In this article I’m going to show you a simple strategy you can use for finding as many niche markets to sell ebooks to as you could want.

This is an amazing resource that won’t cost you a penny to sign up to.
Go to the above site and start typing in niche markets that interest you. If you had an interest in dogs you’d type in “dogs”. Then all you need to do is make a list of all of the sub niches within the general niche market of dogs. These are all potential niches for you to exploit.

www.amazon.com

The bookselling giants amazon.com are an amazing resource for finding niche markets you’d never have thought about entering. Go the web site and in the search bar select “books”. Then type in a niche you’d like to create a product around. For example type in “gardening”. Go through the results and start jotting down all of the niche markets that jump out at you.

When many people hear this technique they immediately think “wait a sec how can I compete with Amazon?”. You won’t be of course you’ll be catering for a different market. When people buy from Amazon they have to wait days for a book to arrive. As ebook publishers we can offer instant gratification as our customers get our info products straight away as a download.

Another great thing about downloadable info products is bizarrely they are seen to have a higher perceived value. You might be able to charge fifteen dollars for a book selling it via Amazon. However if you sell a downloadable info product you can charge up to fifty dollars. Crazy but true.

www.dummies.com

This is another fantastic research tool for the niche ebook publisher. You can find a ton of niche topics across all of the “…For Dummies” books. The Dummies company has made creating niche products an art form in its own right. Search through their titles in general niches that interest you and jot down potential ebook topics.

www.goarticles.com

Article directories are, in my eyes, the best way to find subjects to create ebooks 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 ebook ideas.

The key here when visiting these sites is to just make a huge list of potential topics, and then when you’re done go to http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/ and type in your topics. If there people searching for information on the subject (at least five thousand a month) you’ve just found an ebook topic that could turn into a very lucrative home based business.

I want to quickly dispell a myth about the internet. Don’t for one second think you can just throw up a site, sit back and become rich. Many would have you believe the internet is just one huge get rich quick scheme. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. Done properly ebook publishing can change your financial situation dramatically.

We’re not aiming to become a millionaire here. We want to build a network of mini sites that each make about 1K a month. Being able to come up with an endless amount of niche product ideas is the key here, then all you need to do is create the product.

I know what you’re thinking. “All you need to do” is create a product. They’re hard to create right? Well no actually you don’t need to write a single sentence of your ebook. You can hire people to do so at elance.com. For around five hundred to seven hundred bucks freelance writers will create the entire book 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 ebook. Then have another one created, do the same, and just rinse and repeat.

Multiple streams of autopilot income is the secret of wealthy entrepreneurs from around the globe. Now thanks to ebooks and the internet, anyone can set up streams of income that sends money into their bank account even whilst they sleep.

It’s a maze avoiding scams

It’s a maze to avoid scams regarding internet and business investing, but this proven 3 step strategy will help you avoid the scams and look through the garbage. In this roller-coaster economy, its very pertinent to keep away from scams and spammers, and to avoid throwing away lifelong investments on sites out to get a quick buck from you.
Here is a little article I noticed from Bernard Chukwuma.

Things to Avoid in Internet Marketing Investments

I remember when I first got into the internet, it was all safe and fun, just using yahoo and checking the football sites made my day, now its all saturated with everyone trying to make a buck off you, and you have to make sure you're cautious not to fall for all. these traps.
You may want to invest money, in an internet based business, or try to see the work at home jobs, you should follow my 3 basic rules and guidelines to avoid frauds and scams.
1- AVOID PAID ADVERTISING LINKS - You know those links that are on the right side of the screen when you perform a search from a reliable search engine website, well, those are paid sites, why would someone pay and advertise, just to give you money? its a no-brainer, these are sites just out to get your money.
2- AVOID CHEAP AND TACKY LOOKING SITES - you see a site, and the y claim to give you tons of money if you invest, but you cant help to wonder, why doesn't this site invest enough money to have at least professional work done on it? you're right, its that simple, the sites done have money to give you, just some kid who used some basic tools to create a cheap looking site, out to get a buck. be warned, I have scars from all I have encountered, tacky sites are just a reminder that wealth comes from those who already have income, not some cheap access link.
3- ALWAYS INVEST BIG- This is the last and more important part to internet investing , make sure when you invest, you already have a taste of what you'll get, look for at least 7 testimonial from other users, from different countries and demographics, then make sure the investment is at the 100 dollar price range, this is a more safer bet that most scammers make you feel you should invest a a mall amount of money to make income, but more legitimate sites, do charge for their work, because of the credibility, they are not afraid to up-sell their products.
Thanks for reading my article, more to come, I hope this was helpful in a guide to internet investing. I also posted a link one of the few sites that I thought was interesting and gave me more ideas regarding internet investing and avoiding scams, check it out and do leave me your comments and opinions.
