Publishing niche e-books is a proven business which can
make the operator a lot of money but finding a niche or
niches to exploit can be both time consuming and
disheartening for the inexperienced. Many find this to be
the most daunting stage of beginning any information or
other Internet marketing business.
Fortunately there are tried and tested methods for finding
suitable niches, which anyone can adapt and use in their
own business. In this article I want to highlight a very
simple, straightforward strategy for finding as many
profitable niche markets to sell e-books in to as you could
ever want.
First go to:-
http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/
This is an amazingly useful site for finding out how
popular a niche is and it doesn't cost a penny to sign up
to.
Just type in any niche markets which interest you. For
instance, if you are interested in organic gardening you
would type in "organic Gardening". All you need to do then
is list all of the sub niches within the general niche of
organic gardening. These are all potential niches for your
business to exploit.
Google trends, is a relatively recent tool in the internet
marketer's armoury. It will show you a graphical view of
your niche keyword search volume over the last couple of
years, allowing you to spot seasonal or other trends
easily. News stories are included in the graph so that you
can see if outside factors have influenced search volume.
Also shown is where the searches are coming from,
identified by region, city and even language. This is great
for deciding whether your market is limited or whether it
has global appeal.
Often overlooked, the major bookselling organisation Amazon
is an incredible resource for finding niche markets. In the
search bar on the company's website, select books and then
type in the niche that you would like to create a product
for. Market gardening would once again be a good example.
The results of this search will provide plenty of insight
into potential sub niches at which your e-book can be
aimed. Look at the subject matter of the books, DVDs or CDs
covering your niche interest. Check the sales rankings as
an indication of demand.
Don't worry because you are not going to be competing with
Amazon. You are going to be catering to the market in a
very different way. As an e-book publisher your customers
can download your products straight away rather than having
to wait days or even weeks for their books to arrive from
Amazon.
Another bonus is that downloadable info products tend to be
regarded as having a higher perceived value than their
physical paper and print counterparts. Selling a book
through Amazon may make you fifteen dollars but as a
downloadable e-book it could fetch up to fifty.
The Dummies company, are master craftsmen when it comes to
creating products for niche markets and their website is a
superb research tool for the e-book publisher to use. You
will find masses of niche topics and ideas within the "for
dummies" book range. Simply search through their titles in
general niches that interest you and make a list of all the
possible e-book topics that you see.
Article directories are, just about the best way to find
subjects to create e-books around. The directory Go
Articles is just one of many in which you can go to the
site, type in a niche subject in the search bar and get
literally thousands and thousands of e-book ideas.
Websites.
Visit existing websites catering to your potential niche.
What solutions do they offer? What questions are asked in
the forums? How does the website look? How could you
improve on what they are providing for their customers with
your own website?
Magazines.
Go to your local major bookseller/magazine retailer and
look at publications aimed at the niche in which you are
interested. Buy a few to study. What questions are asked in
the letter pages? What is being advertised? What concerns
are expressed in editorials? Could an e-book provide
solutions?
Use of the above research methods will help you to get a
definite feel as to the potential of any niches that you
have an interest in.
Done properly e-book or info publishing can be a very
profitable business model. You won't become a millionaire
overnight with one site or one product but, build a network
of sites, and you can get there. Being able to come up with
an endless amount of niche product ideas is the key here.
Then all you need to do is create the product.
That's easy to say isn't it? "All you need to do" is create
a product. They're hard to create right? Actually, no they
are not. There is plenty of no cost content online for you
to use and some good software products to help you turn it
into a quality e-book. If you don't want to create your own
product simply go to www.elance.com. and you will have
experienced writers bidding to do the work for you.
You are an internet marketer, not a writer. Have one
product created, set up pay per click campaigns, write a
press release and blast a few articles over the net on the
topic of your e-book. Then have another one created and so
on...........
Multiple streams of autopilot income are the secret of all
wealthy entrepreneurs. Now thanks to e-books and the
internet, anyone can set up streams of income that will
send money into their bank account twenty four seven.
