One of the hardest things for us to do, when we are starting out as newbies in the world of Internet Marketing, is figuring out what niche to get into. Even if we have a general idea of what subject we want to get into, the “general” fields can be really saturated. What to do then? A “little fish in a big pond” is liable to get gobbled up before any profit can be seen. Entering a large market is nearly impossible, ESPECIALLY if you are on a tight budget.

The thing that needs to happen is a narrowing down of your field of interest. As Yaro Starak puts it:

“All markets break down into smaller niches if there is enough demand, with each new area catered to by a more specialized provider. There’s no reason why you can’t start a blog that is the best on just one aspect of a topic.”
- Instead of “Cooking” you can cover “Tibetan Cooking”
- Instead of “Cars” you can cover “BMWs”
- Instead of “Fashion” you cover “Shoes”

From Yaro Starak’s “Blog Profits Blueprint”

That’s a general rule of thumb, but what if you just can’t seem to figure out what a smaller and profitable, “micro” niche might be? Well, your next step, then, is to start doing some analytical research. Oh, joy..

First, you do a Google search using your general field’s keywords. Then you take those keywords to Overture.com and figure out similar keywords. Then you take those new set of keywords back to Google and try to find one that returns a results page that has few page links, but plenty of searches… and trust me, you’ll have to go through this process several times before you can find what you’re looking for. It’s not fun.

What if you could just type a keyword or two and have a piece of software do all the “legwork” for you?

I’ve been waiting for software like this all my life! Well, all my Internet marketing life, anyway! I always felt like I was beating my head against a wall, looking for niches that were not only NOT over-saturated, but held some modicum of interest for me, as well. I can’t stand researching and writing about things in which I have little interest.

I’m pretty good at English grammar, and that’s why I run an article directory and ArticleWritingNews.com, this blog about crafting the perfect article. However, you will have to admit, those are both pretty general and fairly well-saturated markets. I’m holding my own with the article directory, barely. I started the blog in an effort to boost the value of the directory. That’s also why I joined Yaro’s Blog Mastermind Group.

Anyway, back to the problem at hand. Narrowing down a niche can be a really tough job. I, for one, hate it, if you hadn’t already figured that out. I have followed the directions from various gurus. I’ve learned how to do it, but that didn’t make it any more fun. If I had had the knowledge, I would have written software to do this job for me, and made a million bucks in the process, I bet! Alas, I do not have that kind of expertise. More’s the pity!

The other day, I got an email from an Internet Marketer I trust. A lot like Yaro Starak, he believes in actually helping his students, “mentees”, followers, whatever you want to call us–he doesn’t actually offer an eCourse, just some awesome free software of hiw own and a forum to support it. In the email, he spoke about a new software product, “MicroNiche Finder” by James Jones. I went and looked at it, watched the videos—and knew immediately that I had to have this software!

The software is $67. That’s a stretch for me. I’m not making a lot of money yet, so, everything I have pretty much goes for living expenses. This was a real leap of faith for me. I trust the marketer who sent me the email (he doesn’t send something unless he likes it). I watched the videos several times. I finally screwed my courage to the wall and bought the software. It was an instant download and I was up until 4 in the morning playing with it.

I LOVE IT! I can’t believe someone hasn’t come up with this bit of digital heaven before now, but I’m very glad they have.

Narrowing your niche is only one of the fabulous things this product will accomplish for you. It will also help you create some other residual programs you can easily monetize:

1. Building a Squidoo Lens on an untapped market. Google highly rewards pages found on Squidoo, as it considers Squidoo an authority site. If you find an untapped niche and post a Squidoo lens (very easy to do), Google will reward YOU with high rankings.

2. Creating one-page articles on affiliate products that are in untapped niches.

3. Creating Adsense content pages, again, in untapped but sought-after niches.

4. Create Private Label Rights packages to sell in niches that are untapped and therefore eagerly sought after by marketers.

5. Create eBay Affiliate Feeder pages.

I don’t want to sidetrack you. All these other things you can do later, after you’ve gotten your first focus up and running. Many of my readers are Blog Mastermind Members, and finding the right niche for a blog is the first order of business for them. THAT is why I am providing this product review. The MicroNiche Finder will make that job infinitely easier.

Here’s a link to the videos. There’s 5 of them, so if you’re short on time, just watch the first one, which details the MicroNiche Finder in action. I think you’ll be as intrigued by the possibilities as I was!
