The pain can be financial, physical, and emotional, in fact, any sort of pain. The reasoning behind this is that people in pain have a real need, sometimes a desperate need, for a solution. A problem enveloped in pain gives a sense of urgency to finding a solution. These are the people who will hopefully want to buy a solution from your website.
If you think that trying to exploit people who have pain is wrong, think about it from a different angle. We call it marketing. You have had marketers practicing their craft on you throughout your entire life, and you probably are not even aware of it. So what is wrong with you doing it too? The advantage that you have is that you are actually going to be providing these people with a real solution, so you are helping them out!
So firstly, we are looking for a group of people with a problem, but that is by no means the end of the story.
Your next requirement is whether there are enough of these people searching for solutions to their pain online. How many searchers do you need? A good question.
With certain kinds of websites, all you would need to turn a decent profit would be 10 visitors a day. Other niches and products that you may wish to promote could need thousands of visitors per day. It depends entirely on what you sell, who you sell it to, and what you are making as a profit from each sale.
One of the best ways to research is to look at the search volume, which you can find by using a tool such as Wordtracker. Here you are simply looking at the number of searches per day a particular keyword, or key phrase gets in the search engines. Once you see some favorable results, you then need to look at how many other websites or blogs are competing in the same niche.
Contrary to popular belief, it is not necessarily a good thing to have no competition. No competition could and often means that it is not a profitable niche. What you ideally want is some competition, but really bad competition so that you can take the lead by producing a better website that provides better content and in a better way.
Last, but by no means least, you need to look for a niche that has a quality product for you to promote. You need something to sell to your people, that is of high quality, has great marketing material (sales letter etc, so it will convert your traffic well) and pays a good commission.
This of course presumes that you are looking to use the affiliate marketing model of making money with your blog or mini site. My advice would be, if you are looking to be able to someday give up your job and earn a full time passive income online, then that is the model you should be looking at. There are of course other ways to make money with your blog, and those may be better suited to the niche you have chosen.
So if you pay attention to these points when selecting your niche, you will be giving yourself and your new blog or mini site the best possible chance of profitability and success.
We have published many articles on marketing, advertising and promotions. We have also given you many on sales and how to increase your customer base. Whether it was our informative articles or our daily podcast from our home page, we provide a plethora of information to assist you and your business.
We want to tackle in this segment how to use a blog promotional campaign so that your blog can make you a little extra money.
If you have a blog then you already know about the information I am going to provide on basic blog knowledge. A blog, shortened for binary log, is a personal written, audio or video account of someones experience on some topic in a chronological order. This information is then shared with the world over the Internet through their blog.
What a lot of bloggers (the name someone is called when they have a blog), do not know is that they can place small pieces of advertising on their blog for their visitors to take a look at.
The first question that comes to mind, is, will it look like it is cluttering their blog. The answer is no. Since blog websites are fully customizable so are the small pieces of advertising. The blogger can choose the color schemes, fonts, size, etc. In doing so they can make the advertising look like it is part of their site.
The next question would be, is it difficult to install this advertising? Again the answer is no. In regards to our advertising campaign, you as the blogger will create the code through a wizard which automatically generates the code for you. You then copy and paste that code to be displayed in the area of the blog that you feel needs to be occupied and will get the most exposure.
Once installed, the third question will arise, how exactly does one make money from this. The answer is simple. Everytime one of your visitors clicks on an advertisement, you earn money. There are many programs out there like this, however in the case of our advertising program, we have put together a unique program of levels. In other words, everytime someone clicks the ad, you are closer to the next level. With each increasing level you achieve, the more you get paid per each click.
This type of program works well for anybody and everybody that has a blog. The best part it takes very little effort on the part of the blogger. The blogger copies and pastes the code on their blog site and that is it. After that, they sit back and make money while their visitors click the advertisements on their blog site. Another excellent point about this is their visitors who click the advertisement do not need to buy anything, fill out any guestbook, etc.. All they need to do is click.
If you have a blog, thinking about starting one, or know someone that does, don`t forget about adding some advertising to the blog site so at least you or your friends will make something for the effort that is put forth.
