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.

Hi Joe,

Thanks,

Hi Carolyn,
I’ve written a couple of posts on this exact topic. Check out – http://www.joesinternetmarketing.com/how-to-shave-the-cost-off-of-running-your-internet-business/ it may help.
I think I know what you mean.
Well, luckily having MNF is probably one of the best tools to have for your new business. The biggest advice I can give is to stay away from the shiny objects. There are a lot of promises about over night success and tidal waves of traffic, but the reality of it is that it takes time.
If you can afford it, get yourself a hosting account – I like hostgator – http://www.joesinternetmarketing.com/hostgator — you can get an account for the 1st month only $.01 (one penny) use the coupon code “wordpress” If this doesnt work let me know.
If you’re really tight for money like you say, you can get started on free sites like Squidoo, hubpages, and blogger. The problem with them sites is they may limit how you monetize your blog or website. I’ve heard lots of stories of people who become very successful just using Squidoo, so it can happen.
Find a niche you love. Don’t worry so much about keyword numbers or any of that… if you KNOW the niche, and LOVE the niche… you can become successful in the niche.
For example, I’m a network engineer during the day. My first website (RouterFreak.com) was a website on configuration tips for network engineers. This is really geeky stuff and no one searches for it. If you run some of my keywords phrases through Google it will turn up next to zero search results (not enough data). But, this site alone makes me about $200/mo in adsense revenue alone.
My point is, if you build a site with good quality content, no matter what the subject is, people will visit and you will make money. It doesn’t take a lot of visitors to start seeing some profit.
Once you start getting that first $10 a month in… get yourself a hosting account.. and build from there.
I hope this helps… let me know if you have any questions.
Best of luck
Joe
