Have you found your niche yet? Or are you still trying to figure out what a niche is? I know when I first started out with  Affiliate Opportunities I didn’t have a clue what a niche site was.

Ok, I’m going to take knitting as an example, if you’re not interested in knitting don’t worry, neither am I, but there are a lot of people who are. I’ve just done a search on Google for “how to knit ” and found out there are  8,800,000 results for this term, that’s one hell of a lot of people who want to know how to knit. Don’t get carried away just yet though and decide to write about how to knit, because it’s such a popular market there are also one hell of a lot of people promoting it, and if you are just starting out in this market that means there’s way too much competition.

What you need to do is break it down even further, how about “how to knit toys for children” or “how to knit socks”, much less competition and easier to get a foothold in. If you were to choose one of these markets it would become your niche market.

The definition of a niche market is  a “focused targetable portion (subset) of a market”, so what you need to do is find something you are passionate about (don’t choose knitting if you hate it..you’ll soon get fed up and stop bothering with it).

Make a list of all the things you love doing, it doesn’t matter they are, you can bet your life you aren’t the only one that enjoys these things. Then decide which subject you are going to build a website about.

If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time you’ll know there is plenty of help for you to get started  marketing your niche website on here, if you would like to learn even more from a group of experts and get a niche website set up  then I suggest you check out the Niche Power Group. Everything you could wish to learn about niche marketing can be found in the NPG  and there are plenty of free resources too.

So have you found your niche yet? If so that’s great! Are you making any money with your niche website yet, if you are that’s brilliant. If not, what are you waiting for?

Take care,

Carol

The Advantages Of Installing The Alexa Toolbar

Posted on January 14th, 2009 in Business Tools, Getting Started by Carol Aston

The Alexa toolbar is a free plug-in that you can easily install onto your browser and use when you surf the Internet. Well over 10 million
surfers use the Alexa browser toolbar, which comes in two versions, one for Internet Explorer and one (called “Sparky”) for Firefox. The
advantages of installing the Alexa toolbar
are many, especially if you run an online business.

It has lots of useful features which turn your browser into a tool which gathers data as you surf the net.
Alexa’s toolbar gives you a faster surfing experience because includes an integrated Google search feature which allows you to search Google by typing your search phrase directly into the toolbar.

Whenever you land on a website you will be able to see at once the site’s Alexa Traffic Rank listed in the bottom right hand corner of your browser. You will also be able to see a line that shows the traffic for the website over the last few months and next to that is an “Internet
Reach” meter that gives you a percentage of surfers that have visited the site.

There is also a related links button, this can find websites for you to research quickly and easily and yet another feature is the tell a friend button, useful when you see something on a particlar site you want your friends to know about.

The toolbar also has a built in link to Amazon.com (which now owns Alexa) which makes your online shopping even easier! As you can see the advantages to installing the Alexa Toolbar are many, I certainly wouln’t be without it now.

Take care,

Carol

Something incredible has arrived!

I just became a shareholder in me2everyone and I never had to pay a single penny for the shares! It can only be described as the gold-rush for 2009. This company is going to be huge and shares will soar in value over the coming months! You can register for free and it never has to cost you a single penny!

me2everyone is going to be a cool new virtual world where you can meet friends, chat, shop, play, watch videos, create an art gallery, open a virtual newspaper, play the free inworld lottery and make money from your own online store! You and everyone you know make the decisions, shape the world, create real incomes and share in the profits. It’s a new place where you meet new people or invite your friends. Learn new skills or expand your business. Find the love of your life or help the planet.

Membership is free and every member automatically becomes a shareholder in me2everyone Limited. Personally I have 2500 shares in the venture and I’m going to increase my shares very soon. This is an excellent chance for all of us to make some real progress in 2009 and beyond! Please don’t miss it.

If you are looking for something really good in 2009: something that changes your view on the world, then you really have to spend just one minute and look at this website.

me2everyone

me2everyone Limited was incorporated in England in September 2008.  Run by an experienced team and advised by a Global Executive board, they aim to create one of the most visited websites on the planet by 2012. When the main website launches they will add language support in Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian and Italian. They will also add further languages upon request.

Any shares will be paid for by them(or their partners)  so you can relax, knowing you never have to pay a single penny for your membership.  In 2009 they will open an in-world “trading room” where you can offer your shares for sale to other members.  Today they may be worth just their face value £0.001 each…. Tomorrow that value could soar!  All they need are members who become involved: they will take care of the rest. Their aim is to seek a stock market listing in 2012/13 and to create an income stream from business members who are given a new way of reaching customers.

How much do they expect their shares to be worth?

Based on financial projections from inworld sales, business members and connected business activity and investment they are aiming for a share price of £0.58 by 2012/13.  They have innovative marketing solutions that will protect your privacy but also allow you to control how advertisers and business members interact with you.  In fact you also become part of their sales solution!

SHARE DEADLINE WARNING

Date :  11th January, 2009

The me2everyone population is expected to hit 10,000 some time during Sunday 11th January 2009. At this time the launch offers on shares change.

1. All NEW members who register online will receive an allocation of 1,000 shares in me2everyone Limited.

2. The good news is that it will stay at this level until we hit a population figure of 100,000!

4. They will  continue at this level until they reach 20,000 members.

More good news is that on Tuesday they will randomly choose 100 members to receive a bonus of 10,000 shares each! This will be generated by computer . The draw is free and takes place at 16:00 GMT when they are 4 days old. :) Good Luck  with me2everyone
