for advice on how to make this work.

So a proven blueprint for making this work could be something like this:

Firstly find a market with many buyers. This could be a broad market such as finance, health make money online etc. When you have targeted your niche it is necessary to delve deeper and find the keywords that are less competitive. There is no point targeting the main keywords unless you have a lot of time and money to spend. So choose a smaller niche with low competition and a respectable number of searches per day.

When you have a list of these keywords you should set up a site with content targeting them. Build this up over time until you have a mini-site or e-commerce platform with product lists.

Next you will promote the site using articles, forums, link exchanges and social bookmarking. Due to the low level of competition it will not be difficult to rank in the search engines and you should then see traffic to your site.

You could monetize the site either with advertising, affiliate programs or a niche e-commerce store. The latter is often the best if related to the keywords as you can build an actual business which is a real asset to you.

A common mistake made by many internet marketers is to enter a market with massive competition. The reason for this is clear – if a market is overcrowded and very competitive then you can bet that there is a lot of profit to be made. But this leads to a herd of marketers all competing for this market and only the strongest will survive. Often the strongest are those with the biggest budget to plow into the market at the beginning.

For most marketers it is highly advised that you focus your attentions on niche markets. You can learn about this in niche blueprint. If you avoid the mainstream you can deal with far less competition and take the bulk of the profit. Often people in smaller niche markets are not professional marketers, but regular people trying to make some extra dollars with a hobby or interest.

In order to start in niche marketing I would recommend you do a good deal of market research right from the start. If you can correctly figure out a market you will know exactly which keywords you can target and realistically compete in, and which keywords are making money.

When you have done thorough market research and have a good niche targeted you have a choice:

You can either create your own product, market an affiliate product or create an e-commerce site either selling directly or using a drop-shipper. If you have correctly done your market research then this will be the easy bit and you should find a good stream of customers willing to purchase from you.
