Product Development and Niche Marketing Research

When doing research for niche marketing and developing products... there's really not much different in the steps you take when doing your research.

clipped from www.andrewdaum.com Product Development and Niche Marketing Ideas: Part 2 Product Development and Niche Marketing Ideas: Part 2 In Part 1 of this series I gave you a resource of products sold using direct mail. Let’s take this “Idea Generator” one step further. What about all of those late night infomercials? How did those products do… and what did those who purchased the product think of it. The reviews are mixed. Some loved the product they purchased… some said they were outright scams. Like “Part 1″ of Product Development and Niche Marketing Ideas — this is an “Idea Generator” post. Take a look at what sold… if you have the time, do a little cross referencing of these products at NextMark. One product that jumped out at me was Kevin Trudeau’s “Debt Cures”. His controversial debt cure book had mixed reviews… but there does seem to be a demand for the product, and possibly one that’s better (hint, hint).

iBuzzPro ~ Affiliate Marketing with a Twist

iBuzzPro... fast money and a real product, what else could you ask for.

I think this is going to be a great program to be involved with.

With iBuzzPro being a one-time $500.00, you will not be nickel and
dimed to death like a lot of programs - like the ones where you are
required to spend a couple hundred a month buying vitamins.

I'm getting ready to do an iBuzzPro voice broadcast today to over
5000 business opportunity seekers. This should make my phone ring
a little -- beats calling them in person.

iBuzzPro supplied the business opportunity seekers list free of charge.

In fact, they have over 5 million biz opp and network marketing leads
members can use free.

Again, I think iBuzzPro is going to be one of those programs I'll look
back on and be gla

clipped from www.andrewdaum.com Affiliate Marketing ~ $500 Commission with a twist: Part 1 A company launches a new product that every Affiliate Marketer, Online Marketer, Realtor, Insurance Agent, Web Site owner, Home Improvement and Carpet Cleaning company wants — basically, it’s something that you and every business owner must have if you plan on staying in business. This is not something that would be nice if you had it — oh no, it’s something you MUST have or you’ll go broke. It’s that critical. Like the air that keeps you alive, it is truly the “AIR” to your business. What is it? This is how it works on the “front-end” with the company I am referring to (there is a “back-end” as well where you make more money) — when you join the Affiliate Program and purchase the product, you now have “Resale Rights” to the product. The illustration below is the way most Affiliate programs are set up — where you are selling products for a commission that someone else created, like Mike. Go to: http://affiliate.ibuzzpro.com

Link Building oldie ~ but some still goodie

Except for the linking back to other sites -- trading links, this is still a good article even for today.

If you will notice -- even though this article is six years old, some of the people mentioned are like the "who's who" of SEO and link building today.

clipped from searchenginewatch.com 131 (Legitimate) Link Building Strategies July 11, 2002 In search engine optimization, "off page" factors have become more and more important as they relate to rankings. In particular, solid link popularity can literally make or break a site with the search engines. However, one of the most difficult areas of SEO is building link popularity. Why? Because the engines don't want "artificially created" (or useless) links, so there are no easy ways to build link popularity. The days of link farms and huge link exchange programs are over. Try those strategies now and you can easily find yourself booted out of an engine. The Purpose of this Article Start with the Basics: Review any Web site to which you want to link *before* writing to its Webmaster asking for a link. Like all SEO, do it manually. Automating the task is asking for trouble, especially if you haven't reviewed the site before asking for the link. (Gil Sery with Search Engine Optimization Pros)

Link Building Exchanges ~ Good or Bad?

I've seen a few of these link building subscription sites where for $40 or $50 a month you can have a 3 way linking structure.

One site links to you -- you link to another... and another one links to the first one. This way you do not have reciprocal linking that Google supposedly does not like.

The question is -- do you always know the quality of the site linking to you using this Ménage à trois arrangement?

... and is really worth paying 30 to 60 bucks a month when you can do the same thing for free.

clipped from www.andrewdaum.com Link Building ~ the Holy Grail to High Search Engine Listings Or how about this one; utility poster video I’m #1 for that phrase in Google. I could go on and on, give you my most profitable phrases that I rank for — but I’d be messing myself up by giving you those phrases. Besides, the run my car on water phrase is a pretty good one. Whenever I write a post… I first think of the words or phrases I want to rank well for in the search engines. I write down the main phrase… then I write down three or four related phrases and use them though out the post (article). Once I’ve finished with the post, I let the post sit — I don’t link to it from anywhere or basically do anything with it for a few days. No promo at all. I want Google to find it here first — and Wordpress does a good job of that. If you want to cut your learning curve down a bit — (here’s the pitch), I have created a 40 page report on how I do it

Relevant Link Building and PR is the Holy Grail?

I've spent my fair share of money on link building -- primarily buying high PR links back to my sites.

I did not do a scientific test by any means, but I can tell you that the sites where I had high PR links did not get me listed in the search engines any better than those with low or no PR.

This goes against everything I have learned and read... but it is the truth.

I think there are some other factors in play other than PR -- not even sure if PR matters any more.

Sounds crazy, but I'm almost convinced this is true.

Links from relevant sites -- regardless of PR seems to do the trick.

clipped from www.andrewdaum.com Link Building ~ the Holy Grail to High Search Engine Listings Link building… the “Holy Grail” to high search engine listings? Not sure I’d go as far and say that — but many seo Experts say it’s so. I can say this though… whenever I have linked to a page on this blog from another using a certain technique, it always seems to rank higher. Or how about this one; utility poster video I’m #1 for that phrase in Google. So how did I do it? I used some of that “Holy Grail” Linking those seo Experts talk about… and it was easy (and free).

Clipmarks Unleashed

Good tactics for getting authority links and building links with relevant sites.

Clipping is the easy part... it is knowing the structure and how the network needs to be layed out is when it gets confusing.

clipped from www.andrewdaum.com Clipmarks Unleashed This is my story. I'll cover Clipmarks Unleashed on another day. I got so carried away and caught up in my situation years back — I just kept writing about it. Maybe this sounds like someone you know. I may have shared to much private info on myself, but so what. It is a good lesson — at least for me. Clipmarks Unleashed ~ Link Building and Traffic Generation Clipmarks Unleashed I’m trying to think back… did I owe $5500 or was it $7500 on my Amazon Chase credit card before I finally paid it off — okay, I’ll come clean; it was $7500… damn!! That’s a chunk of cash. The days of buying ebooks, domain names, scripts, joining membership sites just because I wanted to — those days were long gone unless I could figure out what to do - and fast! In the first video — the Clipmarks Intro Video, I mentioned something that an old Mentor of mine once told me. I was like a heroin addict always looking for my next “product of the day fix.”
