Using Micro Niche Finder to Uncover Great Niches

Yesterday I had the great pleasure of getting the affiliate spotlight for Micro Niche Finder.   MNF is a great product for helping you uncover great money making niches as well as understanding keyword competition for phrases you are trying to rank for.

Today I wanted to quickly review why I love this product so much and some of the strategies I use with Micro Niche finder to rank my websites and add to my business revenue.

There are too many products available that does such a fantastic job that Micro Niche Finder does.  In just a few clicks, you can easily find a ton keyword phrases, amount of competition, the competition strength,  as well as the availability for the exact phrase domain name. Becareful though, just like with Spiderman, with great power comes great responsibility.   You can easily spam Google and other search engines to the point that your IP address is blocked.  Don’t worry though it’s usually only temporary, just don’t try these things at work or your boss may get upset with you.

How I use Micro Niche Finder

The way I typically use MNF is to target keywords I can easily rank for (the really low hanging fruit).  The search numbers are lower but so is the competition and my ability to rank for the search terms is much higher.

I typically target keywords that show up green, with a competition score (SOC) of 20 or less.  Less is better.  I then will look at the number of pages with the exact keyphrase and try make sure there are NO MORE then 100,000 competing pages (again less is better).

Lastly, in in my opinion is one of the most important parts is the domain name. An exact phrase domain name will weight heavily in the eyes of the almighty Google and, provided your on page SEO is good and you got some decent backlinks, you will land on page one of the SERPS.

Even with Micro Niche Finder, it takes work

It’s not always easy and take work.  But just like the wild west, there is gold in them thar hills and the Internet is no exception.

If you have any questions at all or need help with your own micro niche finder strategies, feel free to leave a comment below and I’ll be more than happy to help you out.

Hey guys, I try not to get too excited about product launches. But from time to time a new product comes out that really grabs my attention and this is one of those times.  It’s called WordPress Mage and if you  have ever done any type of affiliate marketing you REALLY need to check this one out.

WordPress Mage, created by Greg Jacobs, is an amazing product!  I really hate to use hypey sounding words to describe a product but I really think its going to take affiliate marketing to a new level!

I recently was introduced to WordPress Mage by Wade Wells who is the author of the PHPBay Pro plugin for WordPress.  Needless to say if Wade was recommending it I wanted to see what it was about.

In a nutshell WordPress Mage is an automated system that will allow you to build hundreds of affiliate websites, fully populated with content, images for your articles, Youtube Videos, ebay affiliate products, Overstock affiliate products, Amazon.com affiliate products, and Google Adsense.  All created in a matter of minutes, not days or weeks!!!

When I saw this I was truly truly amazed!

I was truly blown away when I saw this system.  Honestly, I’m still blown away!

My first thought when I saw WordPress Mage was how it was very similar to Firepow.  It is way different than FirePow, but very similar in the end result.

Right now Greg Jacobs is GIVING AWAY FREE a 60 day trial to his WordPress Mage system just to try it.  Along with the free trial you get a free copy of his Wordpres Mage BluePrint and a free download of his Affiliate Mage Plugin for WordPress which will allow you to add all of your eBay, Overstock, and Amazon.com product listings to your WordPress posts!  He also has a ton of reports, ebooks, and PLR content to help you make a ton of money online.

Here is Greg Jacobs himself to explain everything:

I’m sure your thinking, “oh great, another review of an Internet Marketing Product”.  Well your right, I’ll cut right to the chase.  Firepow is great.   If you have 10 or more blogs or niche web sites, this is a tool that will help you save time, and make promotion of your sites a whole lot easier. But it’s not flawless and it does have its short comings.  But of course that is what a review is about ;=)

There are a lot of ways that I could review  Andrew Hansen’s new blogging software Firepow 2.0.  And since it’s not flawless I thought I might focus here on at least one particular part of the application that I think is key to the success of a nice site builder or affiliate blogger.  And this is, namely, the thing that everyone wants and that is the ability to drive traffic to their site.

If you’ve ever started a web site, niche site, blog, or any other type of website trying to earn some cash, you know that you just can’t live by the motto “if you build it they will come”.

Even a great web site or blog doesn’t get guaranteed visitors, and a major part of a webmasters focus has to be in spreading the word about their new web site in any way they can think of in order to constantly try to increase visitors and  hopefully profits.

Don’t get me wrong, there is a lot more to Firepow 2.0.  I could have talked about the blog creation and management aspects of Firepow, which I know so many webmasters, especially those who have multiple properties, will find very valuable. But for me, I’m more concerned about how the program can  increase traffic to my sites and make more money.

Anyway, with that said – I thought I’d at least talk a little about some of the features of the program so you can see some amazing ways this program might be as much of a  benefit to you as it has been for me.

One of the cool things I love about FirePow is the ability to easily generate backlinks to their blog once it’s up and running.  This is where the many built-in promotional tools help out.  When you start a new blog, you want enough search engine link juice pointed to your site  to help it rank well for those long tail keywords that has very little competition.

In addition to giving you powerful on page optimization capabilities (like allowing you to set the meta data AND h1h2 tag data for every post or page), Firepow also lets you quickly generate the spider juice you need to get indexed and potentially ranking for an uncompetitive term.

For example, as soon as your site is created, you can click a button to have your RSS feed submitted to a bunch of RSS directories. You’ll get some valuable link backs, plus some great spider activity right off the bat. Not to mention the ping from your post.

And, if you choose to, you could use the BlogLove Builder, to quickly and easily implement a trackback to a popular blog post within your own blogs first post – and instantly generate more link juice, and even a few visitors right from the get go too!

When you focus on search engine traffic you know about the importance of link building in locking in long term rankings. Initial spider juice can get you a quick ranking, but for a LASTING ranking, you need an assortment of relevant quality backlinks establishing your page as an authority on that keyword.

Firepow has that more than covered, giving you the ability to obtain links from social networks, blog comments, and in content links from Firepow’s own network of high PageRank blog sites as well.

There are way more features that I can talk about here in post.  I really just wanted to stress some of the key tools that I like that help me get my sites ranked and in turn gets visitors to my site.   I use Firepow and I wouldn’t recommend it if I didn’t.  And it’s for that reason among many that I ‘m recommending all my blog readers to check it out for themselves.

Everyone it seems wants to make money online. And honestly I don’t blame them. Making money online is great. It happens in your sleep, while your on vacation, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  But not everyone is actually able to make money online.  One of the biggest reasons why is that the methods they are using are untried or unproven.   More failures occur because folks just guess at what they need to do to be successful. Some people just experiment over and over again hoping to find the magic formula for financial success online.

One of the biggest mistakes anyone can make in any business is to not understand the business itself and not understand the business levers that will eventually cause them to make sales.  There are many different business models for making money online and understanding which model is best for you and how you can build your business is crucial.

Many people “think” they can just wing-it.  They sign up for newsletters that motivate and excite them with stories of successful people who are making millions online.  They are then sold a product that was used to generate these millions of dollars only to find that it doesnt work for them.  The problem that these people face is that they are simply being sold to.  Finding the truth out of all of the hype online to build a great money making business is hard to find.

Like any new career or job, you need to get training.  You need a tutor or mentor to help you along.  This teacher will guide you through the landmines online so that you can begin to make the right decisions and begin to make money.

The best coaching forum that I’ve found and I’m a member of today is Coaching With Josh.  This is a membership site designed to help Internet Marketers  and answer questions that beginning online business owners may have.  It was created by Josh Spaulding who is a genuine honest person.  He has helped me countless times as well as helped many others.

And Josh isn’t the only mentor on board at Coaching with Josh.  Mark Mason of Mason World as well as many other successful marketers are there to help, guide, and share their experiences too.

I’m sure right now your probably thinking to yourself “oh Joe is trying to sell me  this membership site”.  Well I will admit that I do make a commission if you sign up. Hey I am in affiliate marketing.  But please know that I don’t promote anything I don’t use myself or know that works.  And Josh’s Coaching Forum works.  If you don’t sign up with Coaching with Josh that’s cool, but everyone needs help and guidance.  Even if its just to share your experiences sites like this are invaluable. You can’t afford to NOT invest in yourself with the proper training to build your business for success.

There are few Internet Marketers out there that are truly helping people, especially helping new people who have decided to build their own online businesses.  Sure there are tons of “GURU’s” who rant and rave and declare that you HAVE to buy the latest gizmo or gadget that will instantly make you millions.   I’m here to tell you those people are just going to take your money!

Many of you may have heard me talk about the select few really great marketers that ARE helping new people with their online business. Well today I want to talk about someone that I havent talked about in a long while and that is Jennifer Ledbetter (aka PotPieGirl).

Jennifer is one of those genuine people who are successful with their online business and is helping others do the same.  Jennifer has been known for her success with Squidoo and her great work on helping other people understand and build Squidoo Lenses.    I had orignally purchased one of her first products called Squidoo Profit System and at that time I was amazed at the  quality work that went into her eBook.  It was amazing quality and she still sells that product for only $6.95!  For less than 7 bucks!!  That to me showed me the light.  That there ARE people who are not out to just take my money and who genuinely want to help.

I’m super excited today because I’m here to tell you that yesterday I bought her newest product, One Week Marketing.  It’s not 7 bucks any more but it is well worth it.  Since yesterday I havent’ been able to put it down and every where I go I am reading it.  I have it on my laptop and even on my iPhone.  I’m not finished yet but so far I am so impressed I just can’t wait to get started on it.

Jennifer has everything ANYONE needs to make money or add more traffic and additional income to your business.  She shows you step by step EXACTLY what to do, how to do it and when to do it.  And best of all, each of these steps won’t cost you a dime.  She even tested her system with one of her readers and documented it every step of the way (which is included with One Week Marketing).

She basically explains to you her system and how she started her business, with no money what-so-ever, and was able to build it to a very profitable income stream.

If you have a little extra cash, this is one of those products I highly recommend getting.  And please understand I don’t recommend anything that I personally haven’t purchased and am not using myself.

I’ll be honest, I have yet to implement her system (I’ve been too busy reading – which is her Step 1).  But as soon as I’m done, I’m building me some lenses and some hub pages!

EDIT: If you’re still a little on the fence about One Week Marketing, no worries.  I just had a quick chat with PotPieGirl and she wanted me to tell everyone that she has a FREE Squidoo Guide that will give you a taste of what One Week Marketing is all about.  In her words “this guide will cause you to fall in love with Squidoo”  Check it out here Free Squidoo Guide.

Have you already checked out One Week Marketing or any of Jennifer’s other products? Leave a comment and let us know what you think.  Comments like yours bring websites to life.  I’d love to hear what you think.  Thanks!
