Internet Marketing Beginner - Niche Horde With Unique Keywords and Topics



New to Internet Marketing? Let us start by breaking down the phrase "niche horde" in the context of its relation to the internet.
"Niche" means a pinpointed, more specific section of a particular market sector, while "horde" refers to a web software programmer's framework.
Those who choose to make their mark in this avenue - namely starting a home based online business - whether as a supplement to their existing income or as a full time venture, would do well to consider a niche site. Building a niche horde essentially means setting up several niche sites.
Using the right topic for your niche site is definitely advisable and will help a lot in making sure your site generates money for you. Remember that it's easy to get lost within the rest of the competitor pool if you don't stand out.
When it comes to search engines, imagine using the same topic and keywords that are used by several hundred other sites. Chances are your site won't get any attention at all unless it's the first 3 that are listed.
So how do you make sure that you've chosen the right topics and keywords for you niche site?
First is to use a handy little tool called Google AdWords, namely its keyword tool. When you conduct a search with this tool - by entering words that you want to use in association with your niche site - it shows you a list of results on a particular word: how much traffic a particular phrase is and also competing websites.
The ones at the top are the most popular. This means that a lot more people are using these keywords, which hardly makes them unique. This is where you will drown amongst all the others.
What you want are the words or phrases listed bottom side of the list, what is called "low hanging fruit". These are the ones that are used least - or better yet, that are not used at all. It's easier to build your traffic for your niche around these keywords or phrases. This is because you'll be the only contender when someone searches for those particular keywords.
Now all you need to do, once you've identified the perfect keywords to use for your niche site, is to use it. (A good tip: Google loves it when in-url or in-title keywords are used, because it's easier for them to know what a site is all about) This will mean you're already halfway to building your niche horde.

Learning Affiliate Marketing and Getting it Right First Time!


If you have a real passion and hunger towards learning affiliate marketing you'll have been through the initial ups (when you buy into the instant cash dream), hit the lows as you struggle to make your first dollar and then fight the urge to 'spin too many plates' and try too many different ideas without having success at any. Classic problems and what I'm going to share with you today will (without doubt) help and more importantly work.

Learning affiliate marketing will start to reap the rewards and once your clickbank or paypal (or both) start to see sales, you've jumped that first hurdle so many fall at.

Yawn... Finding a profitable niche in seconds
How to find a profitable niche is instrumental in learning affiliate marketing. You may have found this an initial stumbling block because many of the profitable niche are already inundated with affiliates you've got to battle with for that Google ranking. Pick a popular product and yes you've got a seller, if you can get traffic to it.

So how do you overcome the competition, how to you fight the super-affilates and carve your niche or rather micro-niche? Answer? You don't have to... A profitable niche is accompanied by a ton of traffic and not all that traffic goes to the first 10 ranks on Google. Have you ever (genuinely) been searching for information on the internet and skipped through several pages to find the title or site that answers your question? I have.

In a profitable marketing you have the volume of traffic to provide the spill over to get traffic, regardless of your ranking once you create the correct style of website with a good layout.

Boring... Keyword Research
If you really want to fight those super-affiliates and your serious about learning affiliate marketing you need to understand that 'affiliate marketing' is 'keyword marketing'. The two are one and the same and you have to dominate your niche for that keyword. Then expand (ie. into an authority site).

Lets use a brand new, controversial keyword research tool.. You're imagination. Now I don't know the exact figures but I know a man who does. It can be shown that there are a ridiculous amount of long tail keywords that are unique. You can prove this by thinking back to your own research. How many times have you abandoned a keyword because there was insufficient or no result? I have but that doesn't mean you can win ALL those random keywords. This is learning affiliate marketing the super clever way!

Go to the search engines, put on your 'customer hat' and think about what someone might type it. Give it a go and start thinking, brand name, product name, ingredients, versions, misspellings. Now create content that has it all. If you don't believe me, keep on reading and you will sold on this idea!

Just do it..
This isn't just tat, non-sense and I certainly haven't simply dreamt it up. I've used this in learning affiliate marketing and having made all the mistakes, I'm now getting somewhere (finally).

The brains behind this 'controversy' is a fellow (and super-affiliate) called Chris Rempel, he's making headlines, reaching cult status and you can tap into his unique approach to learning affiliate marketing easy. The man over delivers and if you want to make some bucks (think his six figure income at 24 years of age) then get your butt in gear and check him out.

Stop trying so hard now that learning affiliate marketing has never been 'clearer'.

Don't deny your paypal and clickbank their food and you're fun! Check out this LINK and start learning affiliate marketing the lazy way. Forget what NWA said and 'do believe the hype'.

The 10 Essential Qualities of a Successfull Internet Marketer


1) A successfull Internet Marketer knows exactly his goals and is focused on attaining them:

Hence, by having clearly defined his objectives, a succesfull Internet Marketer is armed and ready to attain them. This way, he will not get distracted and give in all those hyped salesletters promising a get rich quick scam. It is a known fact that :"If you don't know where you are going, you will end-up somewhere else!"

Action: Take a moment NOW to honestly question yourself if your goals are crystal clear and attainable.

2) A successfull Internet Marketer is commited to his success:

Yes! People who made it big in their business (whether on or offline) were ready to put in the effort needed. If you believe that you will become a millionaire by putting in an hour a day, you will just keep buying those " get rich fast gimmicks" and will waste your money.

Action: Ask yourself if you are commited to your online success and if you are willing to do the necessary sacrifices it will need in the beginning.

3) A successfull Internet Marketer believes in his success:

The reality is actually way more powerful than this: "For a successfull Internet Marketer, failiure is not an option!"
Does this mean that everything runs smoothly and perfectly the first time around for those successfull persons? Not at all! Most (if not all) Internet Millionaires encountered multiple set-backs. Their strength comes from the fact that they took these set-backs merely as challenges and got more motivated from them. If you experience doubts at time while pursuing your Web career, allow yourself to be inspired by Thomas Edison who made over a thousand attempts in designing the light bulb. When asked if he ever got discouraged by all those repeated failiures, he simply answered, smiling: " I did not fail, I just discovered a thousand ways that did not work!" Now, that's a winning attitude.

It all comes back to having the proper mind set.

Action: Honestly evaluate if you truely believe in yourself and your success. Are you putting-up excuses? Do you often catch yourself downtalking about your own goals?

4) A successfull Internet Marketer honestly cares about his customers:

This one may come as a shocker. It is true though that successfull marketers are in business because they care about making a difference and helping their customers.A person may make a good sum of money while selling a low quality service or product once. On the long run though, the customers can see through this person's facade and recurring income is not going to be at the "rendez-vous".

Action: Examine your profond motives in wanting to do Internet Marketing. Are you just "trying" this to get out of a job you do not like? Is helping other people through the products and services you are providing a genuine goal for you?

5) A successfull Internet Marketer is persistent:

It is pure utopia to think that everything will run smoothly and perfectly the first time around. Successfull people are persistent people. Success does not come from never falling, it comes from falling and getting back-up successfully. Furthermore, great achievers have the ability to change failiures into learning and creating opportunities. Most great inventions are the results of a need that created a frustration and then triggerred a solution.

Action: Consider how you react when faced with a negative result. Do you crumble down? Do you react vividly saying: "This time, it's personal!"
I like the image of Sylvester Stallone in the movie Rocky 1 during his fight with Apollo Creed. The more punches he got, the faster he got back up. Ask yourself if challenges are putting you down or, on the opposite, motivating you beyond your wildest dreams.

6) A successfull Internet Marketer is a good listener:

Upon creating a strong marketing plan, a successfull marketer will consider the needs of his potential customers. He will not assume what their needs are, he will ask the right questions and sincerely listen. A common mistake that new marketers do is provide customers what they think the market needs. One can greatly "bum" in a business in providing a product/service that nobody really wants.

Action: Do an objective research on what your target market wants. Are you on the right track or do you need to change your perspective?

7) A successfull Internet Marketer is hard working and efficient:

I am sorry to be the one bringing you the bad news but building a highly successfull businness that pays well requires hard work, at least in the beginning. The good news is that if you possess the first six qualities of a successfull Internet Marketer, creating your empire will actually be a fun journey! Most very successfull Internet Millionaires keep working although they do not need to just because they enjoy doing so. I know I will...

Action: Ask yourself if you are commited in providing the necessary effort to create a very successfull business. Do you tend to procrastinate and are an artist at creating excuses for not getting the job done? If you honestly feel you sometimes lack the strength to finish what you start, do not despair, there is help.

8) A succesfull Internet Marketer is accountable for his results:

As much as Internet Millionaires are responsible for their great success, as much they take blame and then action for their failiures. When something goes wrong, they do not blame other people or circumstances for the results. Right away, they sit back, analyse and learn from the situation and change whatever needs to be correted.

Action: Honestly analyse how you react when faced with a non-optimal result. Do you blame others? Are you 100% accountable for the results you bring in? If not, how can you manage your business so that your success are the direct results of your actions?

9) A successfull Internet Marketer constantly renews his business:
Let's face it what was hot yesterday will be common today and outdated tomorrow. A sucessfull Internet Marketer keeps up to date on the current trends and adapts to the ever changing needs of its clients.

Action: Do you know what your market needs and wants? Ask yourself if you are offering a product that is still popular and in demand TODAY?

10) A successfull Internet Marketer knows how to leverage the strength of other successfull Internet Marketers:

One cannot do everything alone. Most, if not all, successfull Internet Marketers have learned to use the power of joining their force with others. Furthermore, a successfull Internet Marketer doesn't try to re-invent the wheel. While creating a successfull Internet empire, the busy marketer leverages and uses what others have already created to make work easier and more proficient. A sucessfull Internet Marketer knows and uses the power of joint venturing with other great internet marketers.

Action: Are you slaving alone at your computer trying to figure out the system? What can you do to successully leverage what other people have created while doing business on the Web?

Can You Become a Professional Internet Marketing Consultant?


Becoming a professional internet marketing consultant is a
business opportunity that individuals who are well-versed in e-
business and internet marketing may be interested in pursuing. If
you are new to internet marketing, you could certainly become a
professional internet marketing consultant; however, a lot of
preparation is needed because providing professional services as
an internet marketing consultant requires knowledge and
experience with a variety of different types of internet
marketing.

If you are interested in become a professional internet marketing
consultant you should analyze your internet marketing skills,
identify your strengths and weaknesses, and craft a plan for
educating yourself and strengthening your internet marketing
skills in areas that are lacking. Developing your expertise in
the field of internet marketing prior to offering services as an
internet marketing consultant is crucial.

As an internet marketing consultant you will come in contact with
a variety of clients with varying levels of knowledge about
business and internet marketing. Some will be completely new to
business and will need basic guidance from their internet
marketing consultant in regard to basic business matters as well
as entry-level internet marketing concepts. On the other hand,
you may have business professionals who are seasoned in business
and marketing but are clueless about internet marketing. Last but
not least are the e-business professionals who commission an
internet marketing consultant for research, planning and internet
marketing services including management of marketing campaigns.

As an internet marketing consultant you can provide full-service
consultations, or you can target specific internet marketing
areas in which you have gained expertise. Sometimes the latter is
best because not only is there less for you to learn which
enables you to truly provide expert services, but a narrowed
scope of services can also provide a niche market which gives you
potential for developing a thriving practice as an internet
marketing consultant.

Niche areas you may wish to pursue as an internet marketing
consultant include:

1. Market research

2. Preparation of marketing plans and/or business plans

3. Search engine optimization

4. Pay-per-click campaign management

5. Email marketing

6. Viral marketing

7. Link campaign management

8. Ezine advertising

9. Newsletter publishing

10. Distribution of expert articles

11. Media campaigns

12. Copywriting

13. Website development

14. Web hosting

15. Coaching services

16. Training and education

17. Publication of internet marketing books

18. Operation of a subscription service with


information about internet marketing

These are all services that an internet marketing consultant may
offer. The service menu for an internet marketing consultant may
focus on one specific type of internet marketing, a few different
types of services, or full-service internet marketing
consultation that includes all of the suggested services and even
more. While providing some of the service offerings would require
an internet marketing consultant to pursue self-development
opportunities through continuing education and experience, some
areas are easy to master without extensive experience or
training.

When you specialize in a specific area of internet marketing, the
fact that you are specialized can actually build your credibility
as a professional internet marketing consultant. You can also
participate in online forums about internet marketing or publish
expert articles about internet marketing which can position you
as an expert in internet marketing consultant further building
trust and credibility which will enhance your business through
word of mouth referrals.

With the exception of web hosting, no expensive equipment is
needed to provide services as an internet marketing consultant.
To provide services as an internet marketing consultant you will
need access to various resources and publications which will keep
you abreast of changes in the internet marketing industry. Basic
computer equipment and some specialized software may also be
necessary. The most important factor to remember is - to be a
professional and credible internet marketing consultant you must
develop expertise in whichever area of internet marketing you
wish to consult in.

-- Internet Marketing Determines Web Success --

-- Internet Marketing Determines Web Success --
Internet marketing is essential to the success of web sites. You can have a professional looking website but what good can it do if internet users are not able to find it when they need your products and services? That is where an internet marketing campaign comes into play.
"Your website has to magically appear before buyers when they need products and services."
Internet marketing is similar to designing websites- it does not require much experience to do a good job, just good knowledge and a keen eye for details. It is fundamentally important for a good internet marketer to constantly update himself weekly, if not monthly, of online markets. There are many ways to market your website .
-- Find A Competent and Reliable Internet Marketer --
Justify the costs of hiring an Internet Marketer - First of all, getting an internet marketer is not essential for every website. If your website is a business website or a website which you want to generate revenue from, it is good to seek a competent internet marketer to work on your website. The costs spent on your website for internet marketing has to be justified and often, they are justified by having more revenue and traffic to your web site.
Potential customers have to know that there are no guarrantees in SEO. Since everything is fundamentally based on search engines, SEO work is at the mercy of major search engines like Google. Many SEO companies tried to secure customers with guarrantees that they cannot fulfil, resulting in lawsuits or customers getting burned for hiring their SEO services.
-- What an Internet Marketer can offer --
In short, an Internet Marketer oversees that your website is built properly for visibility and promoted with the best dollar spent on your internet marketing campaign. It is no good having a website and not appearing in internet searches. Your website has to magically appear before buyers when they need products and services. Internet Marketers deploy search engine optimisation techniques to make your website visible and targetted to internet users.
Internet marketing requires research and analysis effort for individual website, followed by optimisation of website. Hundreds of hours may be spent on each website, depending on the size of your targetted market. You are essentially paying for the amount of effort involved, effectiveness of your internet marketer and daily sales tracking of your website.
How to choose an Internet Marketer- Internet marketing requires constant updating of skills and knowledge. One crude way to test if your internet marketer is a genuine or fake- Ask your internet marketer about recent events that happened in his field. If he cannot answer that, he must have a genuinely good reason to back himself as a good internet marketer! At times, it is easy to fall prey into the hands of bad internet marketing companies as happened in US and other parts of the world.
It is also important for you to feel comfortable with the amount of money you are spending on getting your site popular before committing yourself to a internet marketing campaign. Internet marketing campaigns typically last a few months and requires monthly tune-ups to your website. Include the costs of an internet marketing campaign when doing your company's advertising budget.
