A Few Niche Ideas

One of the most common questions people ask me is "Where do you get your ideas for niche markets?"

It's not something that I have ever had a problem with, there are so many readily available sources of ideas! I read a newspaper every day, I watch the news on TV, I read magazines on topics that interest me, I pay attention to the advertisements on TV.

Everywhere there is a problem there is a niche market.. People who are looking for solution to a problem with often be willing to pay for an immediate solution.

I've just noticed three niche market ideas by watching TV adverts:  Removing Hard Skin; Travel Insurance for the over fifties and Current Bank Accounts that pay interest.

Finding niche markets doesn't have to be a major problem.  just keep your eyes and ears open, pay attention to what's going on around you.

Quickly & Easily Create A Review Site - New Wordpress Plugin..

I've just bought a new wordpress plugin from Neil Harvey. The ReviewPRESS plugin makes it incredibly easy to convert a Wordpress blog into a review site.

Neil's priced the ReviewPRESS plugin at a stupidly low $12.95 and at that price it's a steal.

Peanuts or Just Plain Nuts?

Here's a link I sent out to my list yesterday, if you want to grab the best deal, you’ll probably want to click here right now

So, you want more information?

Well, what would you do if you could sit in a room with two of the best list-builders on the Internet?

And, what if you could learn the simple, yet very effective tactics that they're currently using to make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year with their lists?

What if I told you the names of these experts were Gary Ambrose and Keith Wellman, and that you could get this information for peanuts?

Obviously I don't mean real peanuts! Although I do think Gary and Keith are just plain nuts for making this available at such a low price!

Check here to see the current price (it goes up with every sale and when I checked this morning it was less than $3)

Get Busy With This New Internet Marketing Buzz Site..

Internet Biz Buzz is a ratings/review and buzz generation membership site for the Internet marketing (IM) niche. It is built on Web 2.0 (user interaction and content submission). Two types of users will benefit from membership:

IM Consumers - With literally thousands of products to choose from in the IM niche, not to mention the amount of mon.ey hopeful Internet entrepreneurs have already wasted on crappy products, people are wary of spending their mon.ey. Internet Biz Buzz offers them the opportunity to learn from other people's experiences through business (Biz) ratings and reviews.Product Owners - Internet Biz Buzz allows product owners/service providers (what I call Biz Admins) to add profiles of their Biz to our categorized Biz Directory. This allows users to easily locate their Biz if they're looking for products/ services related to that category (e.g. list building, traffic generation, Adsense, etc.). Biz Admins can also purchase buzz for their Biz in the "Buzz Hive", where they can add their banner to our banner links page, announce new product launches and JV proposals, among other options.

For both the consumer and the Biz admin, Internet Biz Buzz is an absolute necessity, and as the Internet marketing niche continues to expand, it will become even more essential to users wishing to protect their investments of time and mon.ey, as well as Biz Admins wishing to interact directly with potential customers.

Photoshop Proof Reader Required?

I know my writing isn't perfect, I do what I can to proof read it before I click the Send or the Publish buttons.

But would you approve an advert for a cereal that changes the colour of your skin?

The Changing Face Of The Content Landscape

Our audiences are becoming much more discerning, our readers are looking for content that they can trust. Content that engages your reader will entertain, enlighten, educate them.

To engage your target audience, your reade, your subscribers, your customers.. you need to provide them with not just what they want, but also what they need. Your job is to over-deliver not just once.. but repeatedly.

The most engaging content overlaps all three critical elements:

 As you can see from the diagramme, the more that you are able to overlap educational, enlightening and entertaining content the greater the likelihood that you will engage your reader.

It's no longer about keywords, density and content - it's all about the reader.

Choose Now: Youtube or Myspace?

Just imagine that it's two years ago, you have almost unlimited funds and you are faced with the prospect of being able to buy either YouTube or Myspace.

Which would you buy?

Remember, it's three years ago and Youtube at that time was virtually unknown, whereas Myspace was fairly well established.

Have you reached your decision yet?

Of course, it's easy to make decisions in hindsight, especially when you know that YouTube was bought by Google for a whopping $1.7 Billion and Myspace was acquired by Newscorp for a mere $570 Million.

While Myspace has continued to flourish, Youtube has achieved amazing growth. In fact, if Youtube is an example of the massive growth in online video - then video is going to become an even more popular medium than ever.

That's why I urge you to use video in your own marketing. I've been testing video in a number of niche markets and I can tell you from personal experience that it's made a huge difference in traffic to my sites, it's increased conversion rates and it's made it much easier to deliver content.

Sam Kern has recently launched Video Propeller - a software suite designed expressly to take advantage of the massive and growing worldwide popularity of video sharing sites like YouTube, MySpaceTV, LiveVideo and others. Video Propeller maximizes video marketing by driving FREE targeted traffic just like pay-per-click (PPC) marketing.

Get over to Video Propeller now and you'll hopefully qualify for the fast action bonuses!

The Forgotten Script..

 This is embarrassing, way back in 2006 Joel Holzman coded a script for me that was never released. Joel and I were chatting on Skype the other day and we got to talking about a couple of past projects when he reminded me about the original project.

The script - "Clickbank Affiliate Reward" allows clickbank merchants to enter their clickbank product info (Title, item #, etc) and assign one or more bonuses/rewards for each of their products. This way, when your clickbank affiliates make sales for you, they are instantly given rewards for their efforts. It's painfully easy to install, a dream to use and will encourage your affiliates to work harder at promoting the products that you promote through Clickbank.

In fact, it's so good we decided to ressurect it and I plan to offer only 20 worldwide copies with non transferrrable Private Label Rights. PLR allows you to edit the salescopy and to sell the script under your own name or brand.

The cost for PLR will be $197

If PLR is a little too rich for you, I will also offer a limited number of Resale Rights Licenses (You are NOT permitted to modify the script but you can add your name to the salesletter) Non transferrable Resale Rights are only $97 and I will only be selling 20 in total.

Once the Licenses are sold that's it.

Check out the salescopy and see for yourself what a powerful script this is and how it can benefit everyone who sells through Clickbank.

Then, when you see why it will add much more money to your bottom line profits from increased affiliate sales and how much cash you'll make as a reseller, skip over here and grab your choice of resale right license before they get snapped up:

Private Label Rights:

Resale Rights:

 

Questions?

1. Can the script be sold at any price? Yes, but to protect all resellers interests I suggest you don't sell below $19.97

2. Can it be added to free / paid memberships? Paid only

3. Can it be offered as a bonus to a paid product? Yes, as long as the main product is sold for more than $19.97

4. Can it be given away for free? No!

5. Can affiliates be offered 100% comm. via the Rapid Action Profits script? Yes, subject to price being $19.97 or higher.
