Many of you have been emailing asking if I could start to teach a little about internet marketing. It is true that you can make some good cash online by starting blogs and websites, but it does take some time.
I have read just about every “make money online” blog known to man and there is one underlying principle that all of the A-listers agree on, and that is the importance of keyword research.
You may be the best writer to hit the stage since Shakespeare, but if you are targeting “non-buying” or “little searched” keywords, your poetic rapture will never be seen, thus making you nothing.
You need to find out what the best keywords are for your subject or niche, and then decide if those particular keywords will draw buyers.
A great example is found in the diet and weight loss niche. This niche has a lot of competition and also provides a great case study of keywords that make money, and ones that don’t.
Buying keywords are ones that people would use in order to make a purchase. The best example in the diet and health care niche would be something along the lines of “cheap weight loss pills.”
Can you see how someone searching for “cheap weight loss pills” would more than likely buy them if you carried them on your site?
Now let’s look at an example of a few keywords that are NOT of the buying nature.
Some keywords that are definitely good for the weight loss niche but may not bring in the money are “free weight loss advice” or “free weight loss tips.”
You can see that someone searching with these keywords is probably not going to spend any money once they get to your site.
Finally, there are keywords that are very much related to your niche that can also bring in some good sales for you. Keeping with this same study, we could say that “cellulite reduction” and “cellulite treatment“would be very good words to focus a post or two on our site.
This article merely scratches the surface when it comes to good keyword targeting, but I hope you are getting the idea and come up with some solid plans for your own niche. Making cash on the internet can be achieved if you are willing to put in the time and effort to do the research first!
