Make Money Online Niche Marketing PT 8: Summary

Although from time to time I plan to do more promoting for the niche I have been working in this series, for now I am finished with it and will let it work for me now. I will be doing updates on this niche to see if it was a good one to make money online with.

I will now move on to another niche. My plan is to do something a little different. I plan to use a blog as my website for the niche. As you know you can make a blog for free so this is another thing to add as a way to make money online for free. Well, lets look at what I did working the new niche I was working in this series.

First of all I had to choose a niche keyword or phrase that had the criteria needed to make it worth trying. The keyword had to be high paying, have a good amount of searches and low competition. In order to do the research on the keywords and phrases I used a few tools.

Next I built the website using what I know about SEO (Search Engine Optimization). The SEO will help my niche mini-site place well in the search engines. The content of the site had to contain the keyword phrase that I was targeting. The content on my niche site was articles, videos and reviews, all keyword rich.

With the niche mini-site finished I then had to promote it. The main promotion I wanted to do was article marketing. All of the Internet gurus swear by article marketing and an experiment I did with another mini-niche site proved to me that article marketing works. Article marketing does two things. It gets you targeted traffic to your website and backlinks for it as well.

After submitting my articles to article directories and having them approved, I then social book marked the articles and the website at place like Stumbleupon, Digg, Del.icio.us, Reddit and other bookmarking sites. I used Social Poster and Socialmarker to do my bookmarking. I want to say that you could stop your promotion at article marketing and do well, but I like to give my promotion an extra boost.

Continuing with promoting my niche mini-site, I created some Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses that I put links to my website on. This is another way to get traffic and backlinks for the site. You can also make money online from Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses from eBay and Amazon ads.

The last thing I did to promote my niche mini-site is commenting on blogs with a PR (Page Rank) of 3 or better as well as commenting on forums and other people’s Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses. When commenting in these venues you can leave a link to your site giving you more backlinks.

I hope this series was helpful in giving you an idea of how to make money online by niche marketing. You can do this without spending any money of your own if you wish. If you missed any part of this series just Click Here to catch every part.

Make Money Online Niche Marketing PT 7: Commenting And Other Promoting

Yesterday I made a couple of Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses for my new niche, now comes the last step in marketing my niche, which is commenting on high PR blogs and forums. Another thing I will be doing is commenting on other people’s Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses.

Commenting gives you the chance to leave a link to your niche mini-site, which will get you more traffic and backlinks. All of this is free to do and helps you make money online. When commenting you must make sure that where you are commenting is relevant to your niche. You also want to make sure you use your target keyword or phrase as your text link. Avoid using banners or graphics in your signature on forums.

When commenting on blogs you want to make sure they have a Page Rank of at least 3 and where they ask for information like your name and URL, use your target keyword as your name that way it will be the link to your site. The search engines will see this as a relevant backlink and that will help move your site up in the search results for that keyword.

Other ways to promote your niche mini-site is by starting your own blog on your niche subject, make a video and put it on YouTube and other video sites, Twitter it, get a Myspace and Facebook presence and put ads on free ad directories. Use as many ways as you can to promote your niche mini-site to get traffic, backlinks and make money online.

Make Money Online Niche Marketing PT 6: Hub Pages And Squidoo

The next step in my promotion of my new niche mini-site is to make some Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses. Both of these sites can not only get you some targeted traffic to your website, but can also help you make money online. With both sites you have the opportunity to make money from eBay and Amazon with widgets placed on the sites and with Hub Pages you can half of the Google Adsense revenue made from your pages.

I will put a link to my niche mini-site on my Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses, which will boost the site up the search engines. Once the Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses are done I will also social bookmark them, which will get more traffic to them and hopefully more traffic to my niche mini-site.

Another way I plan to use Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses in the future to make money online is as the main source for a niche instead of building a website. Google already loves Hub Pages and Squidoo Lenses so I will take advantage of that.

Make Money Online Niche Marketing PT 5: Social Bookmarking

Continuing with the promoting of my new niche mini-site to make money online, I will do some social bookmarking. Now that I have put up some articles at article directories I will bookmark them along with the website itself at social bookmarking sites like Digg, Stumbleupon, Propeller, Twitter and others.

Social bookmarking the articles and website will not only drive traffic to them, but also give them backlinks from high PR sites and push them higher up on the search engines, which will drive even more traffic to them as well as more targeted traffic thus helping you make money online.

I use two sites to do my social bookmarking, Social Poster and Socialmarker. These sites have a list of high-ranking bookmarking sites to bookmark your sites at. If you haven’t done so you’ll have to register to the each site.

After you have registered to each bookmarking site use Social Poster and Socialmarker to start posting to them. You fill in the information for your site like URL, keywords, title and description and as you go through and post your site to the bookmarking sites that information, for the most part is automatically filled in for you saving you lots time.

Social bookmarking is just another way to promote your niche mini-site and help you to make money online.

On another note I was approved for Platinum membership at EzineArticles I can now submit an unlimited number of articles there.

My not-so-mini niche mini-site is done and up and has some affiliate products on it. I call this a not-so-mini mini-site because I did more work on it than I should have. I have videos with separate pages, different product pages and review pages. However I was able to escape doing article pages by using an RSS feed from Amazines an article directory. I won’t be doing that much work on my next mini-site.

Now that my niche mini-site is done it’s time to do the promoting. I’m starting of with article marketing. Article marketing has proven to be an affective way of getting targeted visitors to your website. It is also a great way to get backlinks for your website not only from article directories, but also from other websites that may put your articles on their websites.

I have written 4 articles and have already started submitting to the article directories. I have used up my basic membership at EzineArticles and have applied for the Platinum membership, which is also free. I’ll have to wait until I hear from EzineArticles before I can submit any more articles to them.

Linkgrinder
Article Dashboard
EzineArticles
Easy Articles
Article Biz
Article Nexus
SearchWarp
JPServicez

Make Money Online Niche Marketing PT 2: The Website & SEO

I have chosen my niche keyword using the tools I told you about yesterday and have started working on my website. Here are the stats on the keyword I chose.

Competition: 27,000

It is very important to optimize your website to get search engine traffic, that is your most targeted traffic because they are looking for whatever it is you website is about. Think about it they entered your niche keyword into a search engine and found your site.

So lets do some SEO. First you what to make sure you have your niche keyword in the title of you website. I don’t use graphics with my website title in it because the search engines don’t pick the title up from that. I write the title out and use other design methods around that. Now you want to spread your keyword throughout the content on your website as much as you can and make it look natural and not over done. And remember the more content you have on your website the more chances you have to add your niche keyword.

Put your keyword and some longtailed keywords from your niche into the title bar. If you use graphics and images put your keyword in the alt tags. You can also try to put you niche keyword in the links on your site. Also lets not forget your meta description, be sure to add your keyword there. You will also what to use <H1> and <H2> tags on your site with your keyword inside them.

The last thing you want to do that will help with your SEO is put your niche keyword in the URL of your website. These SEO methods can help make your website more relevant to the search engines thus putting your website higher on their pages, which will help you make money online. I will continue to work on my website and hopefully have it done in a couple of days.

Make Money Online Niche Marketing PT 1: The Tools

I am now ready to continue My Make Money Online Adventure by working on some mini-site niches. The sites that I will be working on will mainly be targeting making money from Google Adsense therefore I will be targeting high paying niche keywords and phrases. I will breakup this process into a series of posts and take you with me step by step to find out what works and what doesn’t.

The first thing I will have to do is find some good niche keywords to build my sites around. One of the most important things you have to do is research your niche keywords to find which ones are worth spending your time on. You want keywords and phrases that are high paying with a good daily search count and low competition. I will be using a few tools to help me along with that and that’s what I will be talking about today. All the tools listed are free to use and can help you make money online.

Google Adsense Top Paying Keywords: This site has a list of high paying keywords and phrases. Even though the site seems to have a lot of keywords and phrases they are basically on the same few subjects. For me it’s not really all that useful, but I’m sure some people can get some use out of it. I will try some keywords from here, but I have also come up with some of my own keywords also.

SpyFu: Once you have your keyword or phrase you want to go here to see what PPC advertisers are paying per click for that keyword to Google. The higher they pay the more you get paid. I want keywords that are getting from $1.00 to at least $2.00. Once you enter your keyword and hit search you will get information on that keyword which includes a price range that PPC advertisers are paying for it that would be like $1.08-$8.39 for example.

Wordtracker: Once you have a good paying niche keyword you can use Wordtracker to find out what the competition is for it and how many searches are done for it daily. I learned from The 30 Day Challenge that you want the competition to be under 30,000 and the search amount to be 100 and over. Once you do a search for a keyword, Wordtracker will give you long tails of that keyword that you can check to see if they might be more useful to you.

Those three tools are the ones I’m using and can tell you all you really need to know to choose some good niche keywords. Some other tools that are free to use and that can help you research your niche keywords are SEO Book Keyword Suggestion Tool, which suggests other key phrases and gives you a rough estimate of daily search volumes from Google, Yahoo and MSN. NicheBot Classic does the same as the SEO Book Keyword Suggestion Tool, but it also allows you to check the competition on each search engine. NicheBot Classic is powered by Wordtracker.

The last tool is the Google Adsense Keywords & YPN Keywords Search Tool. When you put in your niche keyword it will give a list of high value keywords and phrase that contain that keyword.

So today I will choose a good niche keyword and hopefully start working on a website that I can make money online from.
