Give Me a Niche You Would Like to Try But Can't Figure Out How to Research

Elephant Hunting actually is a very profitable niche, and a perfect example of trying to focus on the obscure. I would have my people interview elephant hunters and suppliers, and also set up a blog. But I think this would be so fascinating so see how else it could be done.

How about golf. I think there is too much competition and all the most searched keywords are spoken for.

Hey Tiff,

I'm working on a project for my wife in the Career Advice market. I'd like to see what you come up with.

How would you do research on porn? Check out the competition first... :-)

Just got back home - thanks for the ideas!

I'm skipping porn (LOL) but I'm going to do examples for these four:

Golf
Self-improvement
Natural relief for serotonin disorders
Career Advice

Will be back tonight or tomorrow with the video tutorials!

How about cellulite?

Thanks for your patience, Warriors – and for giving me some niche ideas you’d like to learn how to research! I’ve done a video (21:22) and txt for your convenience depending on if you prefer to watch or read.

One thing I want to point out – when ghostwriting for someone else, if you don’t know a topic enough to be able to write it off the top of your head, factor the research time and resources into your quote. You should get faster at this as you write more.

Back when I was only ghostwriting, I remember some of my guru clients offering $100-$500 extra for resources so then I realized I COULD include that! I’d tack that on and go to Barnes and Noble and buy about five $20 paperbacks – usually Dummies Guides and Idiots Guides – they’re PERFECT for topics you don’t know because they’re well laid out and thorough.

Then I’d have those resources for future projects, too. Okay so let’s do the first niche idea and later I’ll do the other three you guys suggested last night. Here’s the video and below is the text:


Golf

This is a very broad, but very profitable niche. It’s also a niche where problem-solution is dominant. EVERY golfer has a problem – even the pros. First, I know golf’s broad so I want to narrow it down a bit so that I can compete better in the marketplace.

I use Market Samurai (but you can use Google’s free tool too) and search for 2 or more word phrases for the broad word “golf” using 100 searches per day minimum and 100k or under competing pages and the two that qualify are:

Golf tips driving - no
Golf driving tips - no

Then I go back to MS and type in “golf driving” and get more options:

Golf driving lessons – no domain available
Golf driving practice – no domain available
Golf driving technique – yes domain available
Golf driving tips for beginners – yes domain available
Golf instruction driving – yes domain available
Hitting longer golf drives – yes domain available
Longer golf drives – no domain available
Tips on golf driving – yes domain available

I take these and plug them into Google’s free keyword tool along with the basic “golf driving” phrase to get more options and then keep that list open so I can switch back and forth between Google’s tool and GoDaddy to see if the domain’s available. I listed the ones available above just in case anyone wants to go grab them. They’re all the dot coms.

I would gather tons of keywords for a blog and use them daily, but always focus on the same keyword as my domain more than any other.

Next I would start spying on competition and existing books to see what’s being sold already on this topic so that I would know what needs to go in there and make my eBook outline from that.

Golf eBook Outline:

I randomly list keywords I find in spying on the competition. I never cut and paste. Just pick out topics that are covered – like stretches, muscles, etc. After I gather them all (you can see me finding that in the video above), I organize into a logical sequence.

Of course you’d stretch before playing, the backswing would come before the follow through, and so on. And you take each topic and research it as if it’s its very own eBook – drill down.

So below I did an example of this for the muscles chapter. I quickly discover that shoulders, back, legs, and core are the main ones. So I add those to the outline, then drill down each one of those – take legs, and drill down into calves and thighs. For each one, explain what the muscle is, how it affects your golf drive, and then the solution – how to build it into a better performing muscle for golf.

1.) Stretches
2.) Muscles – better golfing and injury prevention
-shoulders
-back
-legs
*calves
*thighs
-core
3.) Equipment – best driver (brand and models), training equipment – indoor mats
4.) Backswing - Weight shift – shoulder rotation – backswing
5.) Follow through
6.) Drills (balance and power)
7.) Accuracy/Aim – body alignment
8.) Distance

Once you flesh it out like this, you should have a very thorough product covering everything that needs to go into this niche topic.

After analyzing your outline you could come up with a good title, like I have listed below the outline topics:

8 Tips on Golf Driving for Better Distance and a Lower Handicap

From this point, you do the writing! Remember – NEVER cut and paste and rewrite. EDUCATE yourself and write from scratch. If you need reminders, just jot down a few keywords and that should spur your mind.

More to come later on:

Self-improvement
Natural relief for serotonin disorders
Career Advice

PS – If I’ve missed something or you have more questions, please ask here and I’ll cover it in the next example!

Wow, this is great. Sorry I missed the opportunity to suggest a niche, but since my sister and her husband are busy building a golf academy, this might be an interesting niche to create a product around...

Regardless, sure appreciate the break down.

One question: How much time does it "cost" a newbie to pull together a list like this (I imagine you are way quicker on the fly for any topic tossed out there than I would be -- yet I also anticipate gaining momentum once I start).

Plus, do you have any advice for people (like me) who are limited in the research dept.? I live in a non-English speaking country so grabbing a Dummies guide or three is kind of difficult (I can read it in non-English and understand, but then if the niche is very specific, I am struggling with the special words -- driver is an English golf term, no idea what that is called in my language here... or in the English language often the latin words for the muscles is common knowledge (gluts being the short form of glutemous maximus) -- in my language this is not the case, where the latin is avoided like the plague.) --> How heavily can I rely on online resources? What kinds of indicators let me know that I should order something from amazon.com?

Don't know if you can answer that second question, but perhaps someone reading this thread can.

Thanks again,

Andrea

Thanks Tiffany, great video as always.

hi tiffany i.m a plr atm student great content.is this the same as doing reseach for writing plr

tag! I am looking forward to see how this thread turns out

Tiffany if you are still looking for ideas how about Personal Training in Northern Virginia and Washington DC

Thanks Tiffany, I was trying for keywords like "golf "and "how to swing a golf club". I am glad you showed us how to get the right keywords.
Do you by chance play golf or did you just do good research?

This one was a little harder. It’s a broad niche too – but one where people are often broke and seeking free advice. Watch the video (35:56) here and/or read how I do it below:


Career Advice

Okay with the career advice niche, you could be talking about how to GET a career or how to CHANGE a career or how to make the current career work better for you. Lots of options. So first I use Market Samurai and look for 2 or more word phrases using a base phrase “career advice” with at least 100 searches per day and 100k or under competing phrase match pages.

I get these phrases back:

cv example – 3,616 searches per day, >93,300 competing phrase pages
career aptitude test – 2,433 searches per day, >59,600 competing phrase pages
cv help – 325 searches per day, >29,600 competing phrase pages
careers in finance – 266 searches per day, >79,200 competing phrase pages
career websites – 217 searches per day, >61,100 competing phrase pages

And I’m not happy with any of these. The career aptitude test is primarily for kids, college and high school students, etc. Finance is too specific, and career websites would sound like it’s intending to lead you elsewhere. So I go back to MS. I type in the word “career” by itself

Now I get some good ideas back:

career builders – 1,627 searches/day, >70,900 competing phrase pages
what career is right for me – 730 searches/day, >20,300 competing phrase pages – dot net is available and it’s good – lots of searches and low competition pages!
career websites – 217 searches/day, >61,100 competing phrase pages
good careers – 325 searches/day, >68,900 competing phrase pages
career personality test – 266 searches/day, >20,100 competing phrase pages

Then I started creating my eBook outline and order it in a logical order and flesh the chapters out as I’ve done on the first two – keep drilling until it’s exhausted:

What Career Is Right for Me (eBook Outline

Which Stage of a Career Are You Seeking?
-First career
-Career change
*why do you dislike current career – is it field, boss, pay, etc?
*can you network yourself into a new job?
*are you willing to step down the ladder to get on a new path?
-College Graduates

Factors That May Help Identify the Best Job for You
-Men
-Women – go to Google and type in Best Careers for Women and bookmark several websites like this: 25 best-paying jobs for women - CNN
-Age – again, bookmark resources to help you educate yourself like this: 25 best-paying jobs for women - CNN
-Ethnicity

Passion (what’s missing?)
Natural talent versus learned skills
Stepping Stone àDream job
Reason for transition – Money? Happiness? Health? Location?
Commitment and requirements – time, skills, experience
Researching a New Job - job growth? Money? Advancement?
Types of jobs – social, artistic, enterprising, etc.
Full versus part time versus Seasonal

This is where the solution of the eBook is offered:

Learning New Skills for a New Career
Personality test
Belief in yourself
Hidden strengths – unlock potential
-organization
-time management – finding out - do you have it? If not, how to get it!

Bonus items?

Resume/CV

Great information and tips Tiff! Thanks for your help.

Awesome advice Tiffany! Could you do the next example as a blog instead of an ebook so we can see how you would get more keywords and break it down into daily posts?

This is a great thread. I would like to see the video on self improvement/personal development since I am myself in that niche

Awesome thread. Your tips are golden. And you have gifted us with Google search tips as well.
Please don't come to your senses and decide you could charge for this ;-)

Thank you, Tiffany for the great tips and information. Very useful.

Super post! I love training like this and you can only find it free at a great place like the WF!

Belinda
