Giving customers what they want by Promote a Product or Products to a Niche

Giving customers what they want by Promote a Product or Products to a Niche

There are a couple of ways that you can approach product choice in your marketing efforts. If you have a niche and you need products to sell to them or you are looking to find the niche to sell the product to. It sounds like a riddle. LOL. The great thing is that you could actually work it both ways. Check out some examples.

You could open a site that is dedicated to a niche. Let’s say that you have a book that you are selling, however you want bring in additional products for more sales. You could go to http://www.cbengine.com/ to find ClickBank Products with slightly enhanced search capabilities.

Join a few affiliate networks like Clickbank so that you have additional products to promote. Select sites that you want to promote, apply your affiliate links. Upon doing so, you have marketed around your niche. This is a great example of finding products in your niche to promo.

Say that you are going to seek a product to sell in the pay per click PPC search engines, you can search for a product, setup adcopy for it and run campaign. This is a great example of promotion of a product to a niche.

Doing both marketing methods is ok. Make a list of a few niches that you are fairly knowledgeable about so you can offer value by means of unique original content. Affiliate marketing comes down to knowing your customers and their needs, wants and desires and your being able to fulfill some there part of it in your own special way. Affiliate is a multi step process and I learned from Steven Pierce that you cannot let the customer outlast your sales process. So not only are you asking for the click, you are also asking for the read, attention, action. You have to give your customers what they want.

How to Get More Visitors & Sales.

Getting more visitors to your website requires a great deal of off site activity indeed. People must link to your site. Your site must link to others. In some cases webmasters buy links and traffic. For my business I have decided to seek traffic for free. As we all know you could build a great site, but they never come unless you do something about it.

Here is a great process that I recommend, assuming that you have your site built and everything is ready to go.

1) Choose a handful of keywords with at least 4 digits worth of demand.

2) Write Text links to your site using the keywords and a key benefit one gets from visiting your site.

3) Submit links to SEO friendly directories. http://www.addurl.nu/

4) Blog about your niche.

5) Submit your blog or blogs to the blog directories. http://blog.sponsoredreviews.com/?p=47

With all of this you have to submit fresh, fact filled, valuable content so that people don’t feel that your material was a waste of their time. Keep in mind that the average surfer has a very small attention span so you must meet that marketing objective quickly.

The steps above help to make your site popular.


Ultimately to experimentation leads to platinum. It’ great. When you have traffic coming to various offers in your sales system, this allows you the opportunity to fine tune, test, and tweak your campaigns. Split test some of your offers. Have a control and a variable. In other words have 1 version of your offer with half your traffic going to it and the other half going to the other version. Make 1 minor change to just one of them. Track results. Compare data. Stay with the changes that increase success in your campaigns.

Finding Supply & Demand and Understanding Numbers in Your Niche

Finding Supply & Demand and Understanding Your Niche

Thorough keyword market research for your online venture can lead to phenomenal results. Being able to find keywords, assess demand, supply, market saturation, the people running Adsense ads, and the most popular sponsor being promoted is really handy to know because it gives you the ability to setup your internet marketing strategy in a fashion that is relevant to the current market conditions for optimal conversion rates. If you have sites that you intend to generate organic traffic to, paying attention to the proper keywords in effect give you some control over the type of traffic your site attracts. Likewise in pay per click advertising, you can control the traffic you chose to pay for. Great research allows you to fine tune the efficiency in which you make the sale. Its all about giving the people what they want.

If you were to do market research manually, you would have to Overture's Keyword Selector Tool, type in a keyword or key phrase that you are interested in researching, hit go or enter, and receive a list of related keywords and the times that the terms were searched last month. Copy that information into a spreadsheet. This allows you to determine if there is sufficient demand. To get some information on the supply, you would have to go to Google search for the amount of results returned for each keyword. Take the supply and divide by demand and that gives you the supply/demand ratio. For example if we have 900 searches and 15000 results we would have a supply demand ratio of 16.66. This means that there is approximately 16 suppliers for each potential customer. Knowing this can help you to find unexplored niche.
