Systematic Approach to Market Research - First Step to Internet Marketing Success by Vincent Png

Most new internet marketers ignore a systematic three-step approach to market research when they embark on an online business. They either have no clue as to where to start or end up creating a product with little or no demand.

It is essential to follow through this three-step approach, namely niche market identification, opportunity identification and lastly production creation. You will save much effort and disappointment by not jumping the gun on the sequence.

Market research is about niche identification. Big brand names create demand. As small business owner, we do not exert the same market influence. Instead our focus should be finding a specific market with specific need and creating a solution to target this niche market. Use free tools that provide these research functions

Start with a single keyword e.g. Guitar. Say, you have an interest in blues guitar. The natural instinct will be to research keywords - blues guitar. By doing that though, you have precluded yourself from other potential market opportunities associated with guitar e.g. second-hand guitars, guitar chords, guitar lessons online.

Look for less competitive keywords that appear in the search results. They represent potential niche markets that may yet to be fully exploited. Do a Google search to verify your suspicions using this method - type allintitle: keyword. This will return websites with your targeted keywords. This gives you a feel of your competition especially if you are planning to use SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to promote your product.

Extend your research by exploring micro-niche markets with common root words e.g. Blues guitar + learn/teach/online class. Some useful root words to help identify niche markets are: fix, help, learn, buy, solution, solve, successful, prevent, problem, get rid of, do it yourself, recipe, unrevealed etc.

Take advantage of other valuable tools you can use to uncover niche markets:

http://buzz.yahoo.com
http://www.blogpulse.com
http://www.eBay.com<;br. http://www.amazon.com

Now that you have identified your niche, the second step is to identify the problems faced by people in that niche market. You can research through search engines, forums, blogs and even offline resources e.g. Papers, advertisements, magazines and TV. When you have identified a problem, you have identified an opportunity!

The final step is to find/create a product to satisfy your niche market. There are several approaches to accomplish this.

- Create content websites (Content Publishing)
- Promote other people's products (Affiliate Marketing)
- Selling other people's product through resale license ( Resale Rights Marketing)
- Sell your own products/ services (Product Creation)

It is important to get the first step right as it gives you confidence and a clear goal to work with. Once you have defined your niche market and target audience, creating the perfect solution that will bring you money and credibility would be much easier.

The Hands Down Fastes Way to Make Money Online by Dane Clark

Are you a complete beginner? Do you want to start making some serious money online? Are you ready for me to unveil the secret to serious online money? The name of the game is affiliate marketing and basically affiliate marketing is a simple marketing technique used by so many companies that you can’t count them without taking off your sox and shoes. The companies allow others to promote their products and in return they pay out affiliate commissions that sometimes can be as high as 75%. Affiliate marketing is win win for everyone, the companies increase their sales and the affiliates make money from their websites and affiliate links.

I am sure you are now asking the big question, how is affiliate marketing actually done? There are several ways affiliate marketers can be paid and at times this depends on the actual product. The most common way is to pay a commission based on the sales that an affiliate marketer generates as I explained above. For example, if people click through from your site to the product site and then buy the product you will get a percentage of the sale. This is really what traditional affiliate marketing is all about. However, with the constant evolution of the Internet, new methods of paying affiliates have become possible.

You can be paid for providing leads. This means that each person who fills out a form for more information on a product (a good example is insurance or credit card applications) the company acknowledges that you provided this lead and you are then paid. Or you may also be paid by the click. Getting paid by the click, means that certain ad networks will pay you for posting an ad on your site and when someone clicks on the ad you will get paid. I actually recommend sticking with the more traditional affiliate model because the sale of a product will always pay out more than a single click.


Hands down affiliate marketing is the best business online. No matter if you are a beginner or have had a site for 10 years you need to implement it into your marketing strategy because it will generate many sales. Do remember that you want to find the best products before you find the best commission because your customers want good products not terrible ones that can ruin your credibility.
