How To Research a Web Biz Niche

Finally, after many weeks of emergencies, distractions and family injury, I am now focused on my new SiteSell Site Build It! Infopreneur web site.

What is an Infopreneur, you ask? Basically it is person who makes money selling information on the Internet by targeting the right audience. And by "selling information" I mean, publishing information that may appeal to a specific market. That topic will be discussed later.

Today, I am researching my site niche. When starting a new business, online or off, it is important that you do your research. You want to be as close to certain as you can be that your business will succeed.

In my post 5 Fundamental Keys to a Successful Web Business, I explain  that your new web business MUST...
  • Excite you
  • Have a topic that is in demand
  • Be in demand, but NOT TOO BROAD
  • Be in sync with the amount of time you are willing to devote to it
  • Have GREAT ROI potential
The first bullet point is the only one that does not require research. You know your passions. The rest are what will make that passion into a successful online business.

So, how do you know if your passion is in demand, but not too broad? How do you know the ROI (Return on Investment) potential? How can you tell if 15 hours a week will be enough time to devote to your new business?

By using the Brainstorm It! tool developed by SiteSell to research and analyze your site concept, your key words and your possible monetization model, you can be confident that your business is off to a good start.

The new and improved Brainstorm It! online software tool is free, included in the all-in-one price of SBI! (Site Build It!)

The free web business tools dont' stop with just Brainstorm It! SBI! includes all the tools you will need, to build a web business. From hosting, domain name registration and site design tools (tools to design your website without any knowledge of HTML code.) To automatic search engine pinging and tracking and search engine ranking reports. To a tool to your own e-mail lists and auto-responders (Form Build It!). These are just a few things that are included.

One of my biggest mistakes when I first started out was using one of those FREE web page sites. That "free" website was definitely NOT FREE after adding e-mail service, pinging service (to get Google, Yahoo, MSN, and AOL to notice my site - Bing was not around yet.) And when I asked them about creating a request form so I could build an e-mail list...OH BOY!... To write the code I needed, they required a huge payment, AND I would never actually own the email list. (Meaning that they could use it to SELL THEIR PRODUCTS TO MY READERS!)

I only use SBI! and won't go back to anything less.

OK getting off my soapbox now.

I found my niche, and developed my personal "spin". I started researching my key words. Each key word will b e a page in my site, focused on that one word. I will be posting more about Key Words and how to find the best ones to use in the the next few posts.
