Hi there…

With a lot of projects that I am working on, I really have not had a lot of time for my affiliate niche store blog.  Having said this,  I just received a great e-mail from my friend Jamie Holt and thought I should post it for you. Just like me, he is a Wealthy Affiliate Member, and someone who’s opinion I value a lot. So here it goes…He has a great way to connect with people, and explain it in a natural text flow!

Heya… hows things?…

Today I just want to give you a little research guidance… so here goes… it’s a long one, but you could really benefit…so…

Here’s the thing… when doing research..it is VERY easy to get sidetracked and “wander” off around the net… you aren’t alone there…

So… before you start…you need to make some goals, write them down…and focus hard to get them…no matter how small…just write down your goals, and don’t let yourself wander until you achieve…

I will throw something out there…

No matter what niche you are looking at… you need to find a core specific, highly targeted desire or need which you can satisfy for them, in return for your commission..

NOW… what you want to do is home in on some real hungry wants, or desires…

Often when people are looking for something…e.g. Weight Loss… if they are typing in weight loss…there is a good chance that they are just hunting for information… so it is your main aim to catch the people looking to lose weight, but who are more desperate to lose weight..which will more times than not have burned into their core beliefs with an issue…

Like….

I hate having extra fat around my hips… How do I get rid of my love handles??…or….I hate having a fat face, How do I get rid of my double chin?…

Which means they are more than ready to actually get rid of them/it.. people looking for “lose weight” are only looking for information…not a direct, buy now solution… and we want people in the buy now solution stage of purchasing cycle…

Those that are worrying daily about their love handles/double chin…really have a burning desire to get rid of them…and what you want to do is put yourself in between that desire and the product in order to receive commission…

No selling, no hype…just pop yourself in the middle and the sales will come flooding…seriously…

So…. choose a market/niche…and then within that market/niche… you need to find the love handles/double chin…. and work with it…

If you have a market/niche… look for related forums and start digging for 5 potential desires like the double chin/love handles… and if it connects in your keyword tool with plenty of searches and low level competition…run with it…

Google:

Niche + forum…

or look around Yahoo answers

Or look what products are advertised in the niche magazines for your niche…

But most importantly… do it as much as you can, whenever you have the time for I.M…. but keep a LIST of goals!!!… and resolve within yourself to achieve them before you stop…

If you start out to look for 5 potential love handle/double chin type questions in your niche….then write that down as your goal and don’t quit until you get them…

When you have those 5 …have your next goal as finding well searched keywords relatin to those desires…(the best keyword tool ever is your brain, but cross reference it with the tools for guidance..the keyword tools are never, ever to be trusted 100%…)

If you can’t tally up some longtail keywords with a desire for the niche questions…

Then…wash, rinse, and repeat again until you do…

If a niche has an active forum…then chances are it is a good one to get stuck into

Make yourself responsible, hold yourself accountable…make a list

Hope this helped a little!

Create Your Success!
