I found a lot of Internet marketing courses didn’t BOLD this topic enough to make newbies understand what’s the most important task if they are going to make money on niche marketing.

The bad thing is… they will never know they failed on this task and this task almost decide whether you will success on your niche marketing or not.

Yes, it is ‘keyword research‘.

Sounds simple, easy, but are you sure you know it at all?

I’m sharing this because, when I’m entering into the niche marketing era. I’ve tried many niche markets with failed results.

Luckily, I didn’t given up with it and later I found out why I had to ‘failed’.

My problem is the keyword research task.

If you have done keyword research the right way, you probably win in 60% rate.

The great thing is that the remaining 40%, you can do it later, any time.

What’s the right way to do keyword research?

There is only one rule, using the data from Google AdWords Keyword Tool with EXACT match option!

You can use the tool on Google website or it can be any other 3rd party application, just to make sure it query search data from Google AdWords.

Here is the step.

Normally, you just type your niche market keyword into the keyword box.

And normally here is the result which looks promising… (5,400/month for me is good enough if this is niche marketing website)

Anyway, this is unusable for me and it is not truly been searched 5,400/month because the default matching option of the tool is Broad match and Broad match will never drive you a laser targeted traffic!

You have to change the option to use Exact matching option. (It is on the left side)

Then, the result will refresh look like this…

Here is a measurable statistics for niche marketers who is targeting for the keyword “workout plans for weight loss”.

Yes, the truly search volume is only 880/month for this keyword, it is not 5,400/month.

So, if you are doing niche marketing, you 100% don’t want to waste your time with this keyword.

Just find a better one with this right keyword research method.

After I’ve spend my last 1 year and half to learn and implement Internet marketing knowledge from bad to great marketers, I found that the first thing made you not achieve success is… you are working on not deep enough niche.

After I’ve spend my last 1 year and half to learn and implement Internet marketing knowledge from bad to great marketers, I found that the first thing made you not achieve success is… you are working on not deep enough niche.

Speak simply, it’s a niche that too broad. I’ll give you my example from my experiences after implemented about 4 niches and I got succeeded just one niche.

You might known that I’m marketing and selling WordPress related product. Its name is “FasterIM Opt-in plug-in for WordPress”. Sorry for that so bad name and I’ll made it more appeal in the next major version release on August 2009.

I target this niche with the keyword “wordpress opt-in plug-in” and I succeeded with it.

Other of my niches are targeting on 2-3 words but there are all completely failed.

With the reason of… It’s not deep or long tail enough. However, this might not be your problem if you know how to kick out your competitors but for rookie like me, I don’t know how to do that, I just want a simple prove that I can make a decent income online. So, what I want at the start is a “Simplicity” and actually “Made me money”.

I got that all from the niche “wordpress opt-in plug-in” even it have some competitors but I know my product has a Unique Selling Point that made my plug-in shine above my competitors.

So, if you are a beginner on Internet marketing field, I suggest you to hard work on niche research process.

Take your time as much as you can on this process and I can guarantee, you will made a decent income from it.

Don’t forget to check if your chosen niche is deep enough. 3-4 words will be easier to kick out your competitor.

Thanks for reading and good luck with your online business.
