Now Let's Get Started With Locating Profitable Markets;

You should never go on guessing o the advice of someone else in order to determine if a market will be profitable.

Jumping into a new market blind is the worst mistake you can make for your business. Many aspiring webmasters fail because they jump into a new market based on their own reasoning. They also fail because they follow bad advice.



Locating profitable markets is easy to do because they are so abundant. There are literally millions of profitable niche markets to get involved in. 90% of those profitable markets are easy to dominate within a few weeks.

While it is easy to dominate (own a major share of traffic) most online markets it is not so easy to determine the projected profitability of one market over another, unless you have some specialized knowledge.

The goal of this report is to give you that specialized knowledge so that you can begin exploring and finding your next online venture. If you already have an online business then this will be a good way for you to explore new markets for the purpose of building your business.

In order to locate a profitable market you need to:

Locate sources of market ideas & uncover markets that have more action (competitors).

Determine which keywords have the highest PPC (Pay Per Click) cost within the vertical market.

Determine the estimated organic traffic that each of those keywords receive.

Multiply the PPC cost by the total traffic to get the estimated "wealth" of the market.

Now I will break each one of the points above down and show you why they matter.

Locate Sources of Market Ideas & Uncover Action Markets...
Market research is the difference between making pennies or making a fortune. If you are a beginner or are just looking to expand into new markets then you first have to seek a source of inspiration.

If you already have some ideas in your mind then you are one step ahead of this one. This is the first step if you have "no idea" where to start.

Use the following websites to find ideas for markets to explore:

The Yahoo Directory

Google Checkout

PayPal Stores

Ebay.com

Clickbank.com

Thomasnet.com

About.com

Amazon.com

You can visit any of the websites above and comb through their directories to find a market that looks interesting to you. Interest is all you need to move into the next step.

The websites above have years of experience that tell them what is most interesting to their visitors and how to categorize those interests into large groups & then break those groups down into niches or sub-markets.

Looking at the Yahoo Directory (for example) you can dig into any category and can quickly discover which sub-category has more listings. Each listing has the number of listing within the sub-category listed next to it.



Sub-categories with more listings are an indicator of wealth. In other words the more listings there are the more money there is to support those listings.

This leads us into a vital piece of information.

"The more listings there are in a sub-category, the more money there is in that market."

This is especially true in the Yahoo Directory because each listing is paying $299 per year (at the time of this writing) for a listing there. The theory holds that if there were not already an element of success then a business would not consider paying this fee.

While this is not true some of the time, the majority of the time it is. In essence the Yahoo directory is one indicator that you could use to find a sub-market or niche to explore further.

Used with other indicators you can quickly hone in on a market that has "action". Action is what you want but not just any action... You also need sales.

How can you determine if there is money in a market?
In order to see if there is money in a market you need to see how much is being paid on a Pay Per Click (PPC) basis on a broad snapshot of keywords in the market.

The more that is being paid by advertisers on a PPC basis, the wealthier the market is. What makes a market wealthy?

PAYING CUSTOMERS...

That's right, it is proven that the more that is being spent on advertising in a market, the more money that market is making from customers.

There are thousands and thousands of wealthy markets and niches online. Use the websites above to find them and then use tools to uncover 100 of the most popular keywords in the market you are exploring.

Wealthy markets are abundant. Now it is a simple matter of determining which market to focus on. Looking at PPC prices being paid across the most popular 100 keywords in a market is the first step in determining its wealth.

The next step is...

Determine how much traffic each keyword gets organically. Organic is another word for natural or free search engine listings. How much traffic does each of those 100 keywords get?

Once you get these numbers then for each keyword you multiply the estimated organic clicks per day by the estimated PPC cost that is paid for each keyword (on average). This will give you you an accurate ballpark figure to determine the wealth of one market over another.

How to calculate the wealth of a market...
Now that I have revealed how to determine the wealth of one market over another, I need to actually show you how to do it. Following are links to articles that will uncover this process step-by-step:

Estimating market profitability using free tools

Appraising a market before jumping in

Conclusion

There is a great abundance of wealthy markets, sub-markets (niches) online. In this report I have given you some easy ways to locate these markets and determine which ones are more wealthy than others.

I always inform my readers that "wealth" should not be the only factor that you use to make a choice of what to go after. You should also consider your INTEREST in that market.

If you have no interest in a market other than the prospect of tapping its wealth then you are headed for trouble. It is extremely hard to dominate a market that you find boring. If you are bored you won't do well because you will try to cut corners. When you cut corners it shines through to your visitors. Your visitors will always seek authority. If you are bored then your visitors will quickly find somewhere else to go. This is a fact.

Seek a market based on Interest and then wealth. The more interested you are, the more ideas you will have and the better content you will produce. You will engage your visitors and they will buy from you.

Seek your passions...

Many beginners struggle to find a place to start. While the tools and methods outlined in this report are a great way to find wealthy markets you still need to figure out what interests you.

Following is a tutorial that is designed to uncover your hidden passions so that you can use those passions to discover wealthy markets within them.

Discover Your Passions...

The easiest path to making money online is to discover your passions first. With your passions in mind you will have a great filter to decide whether or not to go with one market or another.

Many people fail on the Internet because they get involved in a market or niche that is of no interest to them.

If you don't have an interest in what you are doing then you will become bored very quickly. If you become bored then you will eventually fail because you won't give it your all.

The following questions are designed to get your brain working so that you can discover interests and passions that you may have never know you had. Once you discover your interests and passions then seek online markets and niches using our market research tutorials so you can discover areas that you can profit from your passions and interests.

To discover your interests and passions, spend some time contemplating the answers to the following...

When you're not worried about “making money” what do you spend your time doing or thinking about?

What are the last 5 non-money making related books that you read? -- and why?

What are the last 5 non-money making related magazines that you read? -- and why?

Look in the Internet History section of your web browser. What are the last 100 non-money making related websites that you visited? -- and why?

What non-money making related websites have you bookmarked? -- and why?

If you had 20 billion dollars and never had to worry about money again, what would you do with your time?

Look at your desk and around at your office. What non-work related things are there? - and why?

What do you usually talk about with your friends?

How did you meet your non-work related friends?

What social groups (online or offline) do you belong to?

What kind of non-money making email lists do you subscribe to?

What would you do on your ideal vacation?

If you could have any job you wanted, what would it be?

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? -- and why?

These are just a few basic questions you need to ask yourself. Most people who know what their passion is are sitting on a million dollar idea. Perhaps you already know your passion so the secret to a million (or multi million) dollar pot of gold is simply market research, web mechanics and your passion to see it through.

This is not speculation. It is 100% true.

The problem with making money is -- most people are not passionate about making money. They're passionate about other things, but at the same time, worry about making money.

These feelings become twisted up together, and many people become confused. They start to think they're passionate about making money. So they continue to find roadblocks and obstacles along their constantly shifting paths.

In one’s (false) passion to make money they continuously feed that .money making passion.. They continue seeking new ways to .make money. and they find them. One way to make money leads to other ways to make money and so on.

As long as you continue to .seek. money it WILL elude you. I promise!
Money making is not real!

Providing quality products and services to people is real & that always leads to money! Money is an expression of appreciation from one person to another. Expressions of appreciation do not exist without people.

If you try to make money,. you're in for a long and fruitless ride.

Instead, please people within a subject matter you are passionate about, You'll never grow tired of growing your business and your business income will grow as a natural result.

Most people fail to make a living online because they're not truly passionate about the path they're on, so they quickly lose interest or quit altogether.

Find your passion, stay the course and your prosperity will find you. Unfortunately, most people never take the time. It takes time to gain specialized knowledge through education and then market research.

Your monetary reward is always directly proportionate to your contribution to humanity. Your contribution to humanity is rewarded with money. You can not make more money than other people are willing to give you in exchange for a genuine product or service.

I'm planting this seed in your mind for now. I want you to begin discovering things that interest you because this is where you can contribute genuinely in exchange for money.

I also want you to understand that you will need to discover your passion to become truly wealthy from an online business, or any business for that matter.

My Thoughts Regarding Marketing

Marketing is extremely important when it comes to your customers and should be given careful consideration when fulfilling exactly what it is that your customers in your particular niche of business are looking for.

One of the more important things that any company can do besides increasing their sales volume to the ultimate limits is to take things into the proper perspective... that in the end their ultimate goal is to succeed in attaining a profitable sales volume.

Now obviously we are talking about using some tactics and strategy that any small business should use.

One method that we can utilize to determine what a business customers are looking for is to do some market research. When it is determined what the customer is looking for, it is than time to analyze the competitive benefits that a company has over others in the same market niche in order to develop a market strategy.

The sequence of events to follow is to get more specific markets by target marketing. When a specific market is found testing has to be done to find the most effective market that will satisfy customer needs.

When utilizing a marketing program, Business people should evaluate how effective that program is. It should be relatively obvious that when goals are not met when the performance did not meet with the actual results. Now we are taken into consideration that past performance if any, would help in developing appropriate standards.

Marketing your product or service has to include looking at your competition and then a decision has to be made whether your business is in the correct market niche. When that is found, it has to be determined what prices are going to be used for the products or services that are ultimately being sold.

When this is determined to produce the best results, than those products or services have to be promoted through a system of continuous advertising, developing public relations and sales.

When all the above activities are considered, probably the most important is to advertise and market your most unique benefit that your business or service has that stands out above the competition. This is extremely factual when you are competing against some other business in the same market niche.

Every Person In Business Needs To Advertise

Reasons business people need to advertise.

Advertising is a one-way communication whose purpose is to inform potential customers about products and services and how to obtain them. When you advertise your product or service you are looking to create a major "phase” of overall product or service development and management. Ultimately we are talking about supply finding and "creating" demand for your business.

Advertising is “the action of calling something to the attention of the public especially by paid announcements. It (advertising) is and has always been effective. It does not matter whether or not you click on an advertisement or not. The most important part, is the BRANDING (repetitive advertising) of your product or service

One method to make your advertising successful is to target a particular audience to build awareness of what the advertiser has to offer. When we talk about Online advertising we are talking about a form of advertising that uses the Internet and World Wide Web in order to deliver marketing messages and attract customers. The three most common ways in which online advertising is purchased are CPM, CPC, and CPA. CPA (Cost per Action) or (Cost per Acquisition) advertising is performance based and is common in the affiliate marketing sector of the business. Similarly, CPL (Cost per Lead) advertising is identical to CPA advertising and is based on the user completing a form, registering for a newsletter or some other action that the merchant feels will lead to a sale. Also common, CPO (Cost per Order) advertising is based on each time an order is transacted.

Before you learn more about advertising, you should get a basic impression of what advertising is. What media is most practical for you to use in terms of access and affordability (the amount spent on advertising is often based on the revenue expected from the product or service, that is, the sales forecast). It has been recognized for some time now that 10% of your revenue from your sales or service should be invested in advertising.


"The aggregate effect of advertising is to bring about wide sharing of tastes. The actual social function of advertising is not to mold taste in any particular way, nor to debase it. But for many marketers, media advertising is a shotgun. However, doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark. "If commerce is the engine of our economy, then advertising is the spark. Years ago someone said that under spending in advertising is like buying a ticket halfway to Europe.

"The most common trouble with advertising is that it tries too hard to impress people. "While it may be true that the best advertising is word-of-mouth, never lose sight of the fact it also can be the worst advertising. Internet advertising is new, so it's not trusted the way traditional advertising is. Ultimately all the other things we discuss when we discuss effective advertising is driving toward making it credible enough that the recipient takes action on it. Traditional advertising is paying a lot of money to keep trained monkeys thinking that things aren't going to change.

Conclusion

Since the Internet is an emerging force regarding advertising and now in particular pay per Play advertising as an emerging possible behemoth, there are many that believe Television and radio advertising Executives are showing concern. When is the last time that you really like to have watched a television commercial? We could probably find most people in the kitchen making popcorn or getting a drink until the commercial ended and than we were back to the show, or football game etc. Now with the event of TVO, we can record our show and skip the commercials. You don't think that has television executives concerned?

The ones (commercials) that are played at the Super bowl are fun and most people look forward to watching them. However, at the cost Super bowl commercial commands, you have to be one of the giants to afford it. So effective advertising has to command a large enough audience and/or be repeated time and time again. That is why this author is under the opinion that every business has to set aside money to advertise. However, the question is where do they advertise and with whom do they advertise?
