I know I've previously talked about the buying cycle, but it's a really important piece of the puzzle when you're trying to sell products. The buying cycle is key when choosing keywords, and what phrases you target. I'm going to take you through an example that I just went through picking out something for Hanna for Christmas. As I thought back on my actions, and the decisions I was making along the way it was really clear to me how the buying cycle worked through the whole thing. I had an … [Read more...]
Clarity Brings About Change
June 7, 2010 By 9 Comments
Last week I did quite a bit of thinking, about my goals, who I am, what I want this site to be for me, and you and found some clarity. From that clarity sparks ideas for some change. :) New changes to this site will be coming in July ~ unless I get too antsy and just can't wait that long ~ which is definitely possible. Here are some of the new changes to expect: 1. New blog design (woo hoo ~ I'm super excited about this one!) 2. New podcast 3. More videos ~ both screencast, and … [Read more...]
Having the Eyes of a Marketer
January 12, 2010 By 15 Comments
There comes a point in every marketers life where their point of view changes. They quit looking at the world and sales letters with the question "what can this product teach me", and they move to the question "what can this process teach me". It's a huge distinction, and when you get there it can be amazing! I rarely if ever buy products just because of the sales letter/sales process. I generally buy products now that I need to work the internet marketing strategy that I'm working, make it … [Read more...]
Keyword Lists for Sale
December 6, 2009 By 23 Comments
I know it can be overwhelming when you see a list of 101 different possible niche ideas. I started going through them the other night after I wrote the post. I found some niches that have a lot of possibility. I decided to put together a list of keywords for some of the better niches I found from the list. I will only be selling 20 of each list. That way it won't get too saturated if everyone uses the lists. This also lets me keep the price very low. I will continue to add lists to this … [Read more...]

December 4, 2009 By 38 Comments
photo credit: urbanwoodswalker I LOVE Walmart. It's a niche marketers dream. I had to pick up a few things and I thought I would make a list of as many niche ideas as I could find along the way. (mind you I didn't go through the whole store ~ these were just the ideas that came up on my way to get what I needed ~ there's a million more if you just open your mind. :) These are just ideas ~ brainstorming, a place to start. Is there viable niches in any of these ideas? Hell I don't know. … [Read more...]
Choosing Keywords for Niche Sites
December 4, 2009 By 48 Comments
photo credit: andy_carter The only way you can get it wrong is by not getting started. I want you to go back and reread the statement. Go ahead~ I'll wait. This is so true. The only way you get it wrong is by not getting started, not moving forward, not publishing something. With that said, there are some things you can do to make it go better, but remember this is a marathon, not a sprint. You can always course correct along the way, and one bad post, keyword, whatever doesn't ruin … [Read more...]

In niche marketing, no matter which particular strategy you've chosen keywords are well... key. This stands true when it comes to choosing a domain name as well.

Impromptu Sample Lens Review
November 11, 2009 By 41 Comments
Today I was making breakfast, unsure about what I would blog about today. I wished to my idea fairies that there would be a comment on the blog that would spur an idea for a blog post when I got ready to write. Thank you. I opened my inbox and there is a comment. For some reason it hadn't published yet (probably so I could easily put it here!) I hope this person doesn't mind me sharing the comment and I'm going to give a little bit of advice on what could be done differently to help her … [Read more...]
Let’s Get to Know Each Other!
Social media gives me the opportunity to get to know you better, as well as giving me the opportunity to share more of me than just the "internet marketing" side. I share multiple facets of me, and my life on social media, so if you choose to connect with me don't expect it to be 100% internet marketing... because it's not. :)
