Visualize building a website targeting the wrong niche only
to find out after months of search engine optimization and
internet marketing that your idea may be too general and
rarely holds the interest of your visitors and makes it
hard to earn money after spending hundreds of hours of your
own time. What a nightmare!

Well this was me a couple of years ago. I created several
websites and spent hundreds of hours of my own time and
hired programmers to create scripts for credit card
processing. Only to find out I could not make any money.
None of my visitors purchased my products and I felt
completely lost in the internet jungle. With all the hype
of making money on the internet and after spending
thousands of dollars buying training material from so
called internet guru's I still could not get it right. What
did I miss? Does this sound familiar to you?

Finally by trying lots of different ideas I magically hit
the correct formula. I built a very popular website on
trucks and to date earned over $70,000 from this. How did I
accidentally discover this success? I tried building more
websites only to fail again. Did I just get lucky? Could I
duplicate my success again?

Most people underestimate the importance of getting this
first step of choosing the correct idea when first starting
a website. Only to find out months later that their idea
cannot make money. After months of researching I finally
discovered the magic formula of long tail marketing i.e
profitable niche markets. When you understand this process
completely you can duplicate your success every time you
build a website and save yourself countless hours of wasted
emotion.

Brainstorm some ideas on paper. Find topics that interest
you like fashion, gardening or fish to name a few examples.
If you can't think of any ideas look at the newspaper,
shops in malls, yellow pages, tv or do a search in Google
for general ideas. Don't worry about your keyword research
yet. At this stage you would like to find a unique angle on
your chosen idea. You want to give your visitors a
compelling reason to visit your website and return.
Preferably choose an idea that you already know a lot
about. If you choose an idea that you are not familiar with
you will be forced to hire professionals on Elance or
similar websites to create content for you. Unless you
already making significant money I do not recommend doing
this. Rather keep your costs low when you first start out
and create the content yourself.

Once you found a good idea (examples swordfish, organic
gardening, bonsai trees) you need to do your keyword
research. The importance here being that you would like to
build a website that gets significant free search engine
traffic from your chosen keywords but at the same time not
too competitive. You can use the Overture Inventory Tool.
In my opinion a profitable niche keyword searched 15,000 to
45,000 times a month with virtually no competition rates as
the best keyword to use. You can also use the Wordtracker
tool to check the competition on the keywords. You can
check the amount of ppc adverts on Google and once you
discover a keyword with virtually no competition will
become your goldmine. You also need to look for similar
keywords related to your theme that you can build your
website around. Say for example if you chose truck
bed liners as your profitable niche keyword you can also
create content on keywords related to this like spray on
bed truck liner, pickup truck bed liner, rhino truck bed
liner etc...

After choosing your keywords you need to create your
content and monetize your traffic using contextual
advertising like Google Adsense, affiliate links or by
creating and sourcing your own products.

You need to test your completed website with ppc marketing.
You can use Google Adwords and do an initial test and send
200 visitors to your website to see if the traffic converts
into money. If not you need to improve your sales pages or
layout to improve your conversion statistics. Once
satisfied with your conversion and that you can monetize
your traffic you can start on your search engine
optimization process that will take at least 6 months and
years of consistent white hat optimisation. After
completing this step you will generate cash with free
search engine traffic for years to come. You can build your
virtual real estate by duplicating this process with other
ideas.

Make sure that you follow the steps outlined here. It will
save you thousands of hours in wasted emotion and heartache
when building a profitable niche.

Corey Rudl's 4 Lesson's on Internet Business

LESSON #4: "Discover How You Can Actively
Control, Direct, And Guarantee The Success Of
Your Internet Business With This One Simple
Strategy"
=========================================

Welcome to Lesson #4 of the exclusive "Corey Rudl's 4 Lessons
on Internet Business!"

Motivational speaker Anthony Robbins once said, "If you want
to be successful, find someone who achieved the results you
want and copy what they do, and you'll achieve the same
results."

It's an idea I became familiar with many years ago.

When I was first getting started online, I made a lot of
mistakes. Not because I wasn't trying to model successful
businesses, but because there simply weren't businesses
online to model.

(In 1996, I was among the first handful of people to
actually start selling products over the Internet.)

So I gathered as much information as I could from successful
offline marketing experts like Jay Abraham and Gary Halbert.

The challenge, though, was adjusting their techniques to
work in the *online* world.

I'm sure it will come as no surprise that many of the
techniques used to market and sell in the "real world"
either...

a) Didn't work at all on the Internet

Or

b) Needed to be seriously adjusted, tested, tweaked, and
adjusted some more to really get results online.

The point that I'm trying to make here is that it literally
took me years of testing and hundreds of thousands of
dollars to discover the same techniques that you'll now see
commonly used online today.

Fortunately, there is no reason for things to be nearly this
difficult for you. Today, modeling the Internet "successes"
is relatively easy.

(Though, be careful that you separate the phonies and fakes
from the "true experts" -- look for those who honestly
practice what they preach and who can prove it!)

The biggest investment that you'll need
to make is your time.

If you're interested in long-term, life-changing success,
then a few extra days of reading and researching shouldn't
matter.

It's the success of your business that we're talking about
here, so don't make the fatal mistake of thinking that
you're "wasting time." Remember that what you learn today
could be the technique or strategy that saves you not only
wasted time and effort, but thousands of dollars in "could
have been" profits.

It's an extremely simple concept, but it's really one of the
key ideas I teach.
