What is Keyword Research?
What Is Keyword Research?
No matter what type of online business you have if you need to drive traffic to a website, you will need to spend a lot of your work day doing keyword research. But what, and how, are you researching?
In a nutshell you want to find laser targeted keywords that are associated with your niche. You want long tailed keywords (keywords with 3 or more words) because they tend to have less competition than one or two word keywords yet still get quite a few searches every month.
A good or excellent keyword will have at least 500 searches a month, obviously the higher the search amount the better. You also want the keyword to have low competition less than 20,000. The lower the amount of competition and the higher the amount of search volume is what you want in a good keyword.
Just remember: High Search Volume + Low Competition = Good Keyword.
There are some software programs you can get that can help you compile good keyword lists or you can use some excellent free resources such as Google’s Adwords Keyword Tool .
Here is a step by step method for finding top quality keywords:
1. Use the link above to go to Google’s keyword tool.
2. Enter your keyword phrase into the box. At this point it’s ok to start with a broad term. For example, if you’re niche is about house training your Rottweiler, for now just enter the term housebreaking dog, or something fairly generic. Eventually you will become more targeted but start out general and see what comes up on the list.
3. Once you’ve got a list of some keywords start scrolling down the list and look for phrases that have a reasonable about of traffic, at least 500 searches a month.
4. If you have a software program that will compile the data for you, great, just upload the Google results into your software program. If not you can do it by hand for free. Just take each keyword phrase that has a decent amount of monthly searches (for the most part you’d be wish to ignore the phrases that have thousands of searches since they are more than likely going to have way, way too many competitors) copy it, open another Google window, paste that keyword phrase into the new window with quotes, and do a search. The number you get back will tell you how much competition that keyword has. You’ll want to stick with those keywords that have less than 20,000 in competition.
5. When you find good keywords copy and paste them into a notepad file and save them. Ideally you want at least 20 keywords that fit into these parameters. As you start building your list you’ll think of other phrases that may work for your niche too.
Traffic is the back bone of any online business and a good keyword list could be worth it’s weight in gold. Finding keywords is one of the most important things you can do to insure the success of your online business, don’t try to skimp or skip on this step.
No matter how you choose to learn to do keyword research, just make sure you learn. Don’t guess as to which keyword will work best for you . There are some easy to follow guidelines that, while not foolproof, will give you success more often than not.
Learn How To Make Money Online…
Lots of people, more everyday, dream of quitting their job, starting an online business and make money online. It is very possible to do and most people will be able to make more online than they are making at their job.
But if it’s so easy, why isn’t everyone doing it? The reason there aren’t more Internet millionaires (and there are more new millionaires every year from an online business than with any other segment of the population) is because people have an unrealistic idea of what it means to make money online.
There are too many programs out there that promise almost instant wealth with virtually no work. That is the number 1 lie told on the Internet.
Building a massive online business is much easier and quicker than a traditional brick and mortar business, but that doesn’t mean it’ll happen overnight with no effort.
Even very intelligent people can get caught up in the hype. Once they don’t make a lot of money overnight they either quit or get lured into the next great program. It goes on like that until one of 3 things happens:
1) They get discouraged and give up on their dreams of an online business altogether or,
2) They don’t have any more money to invest in the next ’sure thing’ and give up or,
3) They wise up, realize that success can be achieved and start investing in some education and not the next ’sure thing’. Then they take their new found Internet marketing knowledge and put it to work on a consistent basis. And guess what? They learn how to make money online!
So there is no time like the present to pick option #3. Especially if you are just starting out. Invest in educating yourself and consistently put into use your constantly growing knowledge of Internet marketing.
Run away screaming from any program that ‘guarantees’ you’ll make money practically overnight with no work. The only guarantee they are really making is that if you want a refund you’ll get one. They don’t guarantee your success. They can’t. They have no idea if you will even work at the business.
Do don’t let yourself end up in option 1 or 2. Be a 3! You’ll be glad you did!
Let Your Personality Shine If You Want To Earn Money Online…
We all know that the Internet can be kind of cold. We also know that to be successful in business you need to have people trust you. One of the best ways to do that is to let them get to know you.
For the most part your internet business isn’t real personal. You don’t usually have any real one on one contact with the people on your list. It’s not like you call them all on the phone once a week. So how do you let people know who you are and show them that they can trust you?
Well the most common way you communicate with them is through your copy. Whether it’s emails, a sales page, a blog post, etc. It is your copy that is letting people get to know you.
The problem is that so many people online seem to want to keep themselves ‘hidden’. It’s like they’re afraid to let too much of their personality show. But that’s a mistake.
To build rapport you have to open up a little and let people get to know you. You don’t want them to think of you only as some obscure sales person. You want them to know you.
So the next time you sit down to write an article, an email or some sales page, don’t forget to let your personality show through. Not only will that make whatever you’re writing more interesting, it will also allow people to get to know, and hopefully like, the real you.
Mini-Site Videos Review
I’ve talked quite a bit about the different ways to earn money online. There are several. One of the most talked about is niche marketing. This is just finding a small subsection of a bigger market. For example, instead of targeting weight loss you would target weight loss for new moms. This smaller niche will have a lot less competition but will still be very profitable.
To really earn money online and benefit from niche marketing you should promote several different niche products. You will need to set up several different ‘mini-sites’ to promote each product. It’s not really as hard as you may think and there is a brand new tool that can help. Michael Rasmussen, an expert in mini-sites, has just put together a video series that can walk you through the process of getting your mini-sites up and running and making money.
This series provides easy to follow step by step instructions that even a newbie can follow and learn from. And the best part, it’s free. Don’t let that fool you though, just because it’s free doesn’t mean it’s not a great product.
If you want to start making money online, this is a great place to start. Whenever you identify a great product you can have a mini-site set up with little time and money. And once it’s set up you can make money largely on autopilot.
I’m impressed and I think you will be too. Go check it out for yourself. It’s free but if you put the information to use, you could make thousands of dollars (or more) with this powerful technique.
Start your own mini-site today. Check out these great free videos so you can start making money online now!
