Press Release Body = This is one of the most neglected and overlooked aspects of
internet marketing. Far too many people think that they can simply put up a website
for a something that they have an interest in and make money from it. The very first
rule of whether an item is going to be successful is the age old "Supply and
Demand".

Let's take a look at what we would consider to be a niche and what wouldn't be.

The term 'fishing" for example is too broad a niche and would not only return too
many competitive websites but it would also be nearly impossible to do it justice as
a niche website.

Instead, break it down smaller. "Inshore Saltwater Fishing" gets smaller and if you
break it down to a specific region like "Gulf Coast Saltwater Fishing" then you have
a sniper targeted niche, although one this small may be harder to monetize. Anyway,
you get the gist of what I am trying to show here. You want to have niches in
general that have say 1,000 searches a day or more but the ones that are returning
results of over 500,000 per month are going to be hard to dominate. This isn't to
say you can't make money from them, just don't expect to come in and be number one
in a few months!

I am currently employing a number of web sites targeting specific niche markets
where I have advertising placed from Yahoo, Google, or Chitika as well as applicable
affiliate programs and ContextCash.

The very first thing I did before buying these domains was to research them to be
sure that I was investing my time and money in areas that would be profitable. If
you are going to focus on building content sites to run Adsense or Yahoo ads on it
is crucial that you do keyword research to determine the traffic and the amount of
money people are willing to pay for the advertising or pay per clicks as they are
known.

I have a couple of main tools that I use to do this research and I believe them to
be invaluable if you are going to be successful in this type of marketing on the
internet. In general you want something that has at least 1,000 searches a day,
although with super targeted niches and high paying keywords you can sometimes get
by with less.

I recommend that you invest the time to research the first niche markets that you
want to target and use the different tools I am introducing to you to help you
monetize your sites to the max! Another thing you can do to get content for your
blog and websites immediately is join some of the article membership sites that I
will recommend to you later in the book.
