Keyword Research

Keyword research is the process of finding out the words and phrases that your potential customers use online. We’re all creatures of habit and what we type into the search boxes isn’t random, it’s influenced subconsciously by our language and culture. Our searches follow certain patterns, we share the same types of words, we’re influenced by news stories and the latest buzz or fashion.

Many online marketers make the mistake of only doing keyword research at the start of a project. That’s a mistake because people’s search behavior changes over time. New products and new fashions emerge and with them, different keywords. These are opportunities you can capitalize on.

Keyword research is an ongoing process that you should build into your weekly schedule. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of your markets, you’ll spot emerging trends and new profitable niches before your competitors.

Niche Market

Niche Market

A niche market is the subset of the market on which a specific product is focusing; therefore the market niche defines the specific product features aimed at satisfying specific market needs, as well as the price range, production quality and the demographics that is intended to impact.

Every single product that is on sale can be defined by its niche market. As of special note, the products aimed at a wide demographic audience, with the resulting low price (due to price elasticity of demand), are said to belong to the mainstream niche—in practice referred to only as mainstream or of high demand. Narrower demographics lead to elevated prices due to the same principle.

In practice, product vendors and trade businesses are commonly referred as mainstream providers or narrow demographics niche market providers (colloquially shortened to just niche market providers). Small capital providers usually opt for a niche market with narrow demographics as a measure of increasing their gain margins.

Nevertheless, the final product quality (low or high) is not dependant on the price elasticity of demand; it is associated more with the specific needs that the product is aimed at satisfy and in some cases with brand recognition with which the vendor wants to be associated (e.g., prestige, practicability, money saving, expensiveness, planet environment conscience, power, &c.).

Online niche marketing

An often used technique for affiliate marketers is Internet-based niche marketing. By appealing to smaller segments of larger markets, referred to as niches, a website can be developed and promoted quickly to uniquely serve a targeted and usually loyal customer base, giving the affiliate a small but regular income stream. This technique is then repeated across several other niche websites until a desired income level is achieved. A bigger niche is harder to market to as the expense of online advertisements increases according to the popularity of the keywords used (on Adwords, for example).

Some niches may become saturated with marketers, increasing competition and thus, according to the economic law of supply and demand, reducing the slice of the pie available to each competitor. One solution is to find smaller, “undiscovered,” but still profitable, niches, usually by searching out the best keywords to target. These lower cost keywords are called long-tailed keywords, as in the long tail of secondary keyword phrases that usually follow the main keyword in popularity of number of searches conducted by internet users. Some are too obscure and may have very few or even no clicks per month, and therefore not much use to target.

The concept of niche marketing can be well understood by the following example: A number of television channels cater to the need of a particular niche; for example, sports channels like STAR SPORTS, ESPN, STAR CRICKET, and TENS SPORTS target a niche of sports lovers.
