Sounds outrageous? Its too early to be smoking that stuff?
The economic melt down has made competition more fierce. But at the same time there has been a proliferation of products, services, and media.
People can find anything down to the specific parts of a cell phone. And they don’t have to buy from the manufacturer or store where they purchased.
This is the age of the long tail. What does that mean? Internet pages appear based on the query words you enter. If you want fish you can get millions of pages. Some might have live fish, some the study of fish, some might be how to fish etc.
If you enter “smoked fish” it starts to narrow. If you enter “Cajun smoked blackened fish” it gets even narrower. There are niches you could dominate.
Two things are important. You need a niche with traffic and you need a niche with out too much competition. There is an industry that thrives on this concept. One site http://micronichefinder.com assists you in finding these words.
But you can do the same by using Google Ad words to check traffic and then Googling those words to see how many competitive pages there are.
But I am not suggesting a new business. I am suggesting that if you can find a small niche you can dominate that has traffic, you can start to build extra sales.
But then you can do more. One of my sites http://FreightshippingSeo.com started early as number one on page one Google for those words. But there weren’t any requests for those words. The site is about internet marketing, relationship marketing, new media and so forth. I blog most everyday on those keyword topics.
The “Freight” niche has 56 million pages. The “Shipping” niche has 165 million pages. The “Freight Shipping” niche has 8 million pages. Pretty soon I was appearing on each of those niches for Freight Relationship Marketing, Freight Internet Marketing, Shipping New Media etc.
I was on page one Google and many times number one on page one for over 12 niches the last time I looked. The key was broadcasting the keywords from my site to the point I was dominating the Search Engines on their search for the sites that used those keywords the most.
NewCustomerDevelopment.com is on page one for New Customer Develop using the same process.
It’s a pretty simple formula.
