  How to Find A Winning Niche On The Internet 
      And Earn A Great Income!

 Are you struggling to come up with good ideas for a profitable business that
      you can start on the Internet? Are all those hours of searching resulting
      in nothing but headaches and frustration? Is it starting to affect your home
      life or fun life?
 
 Don't worry, you're not alone. Finding a high demand, low competition niche
      market can take a bit of effort. But if you apply the following five steps
      for identifying and evaluating your niche business ideas, you'll save yourself
      many painstaking hours of work, and make a great living:
 
 
	
	  Identify candidates for a niche business.
	  Make a list of your hobbies and interests and jot down the things you hear
	  people complain most about. After all, solving people's problems should be
	  the goal of your online business.
 
	  Summarize your potential niche ideas.
	  Describe each of them using one keyword, e.g., dog training, binoculars,
	  snow skiing, model trains. By doing this, your niche market will become crystal
	  clear. Keep it tightly focused and specialized. 
 
	  Use the Overture Search Term Suggestion
	  Tool. Just go to any search engine and enter "Overture search Term Suggestion
	  Tool."  Enter one of your keywords into the tool. Overture will return
	  a list of all keywords related to the keyword you entered. It will also tell
	  you how many times people performed searches using those keywords during
	  the prior month.
 Think of these numbers as a rough measure of the demand for your idea. It
	  won't be the whole picture because you're looking into one search engine,
	  but it's a decent start.
 
 
	  Use
	  Google.com to determine
	  the level of supply/competition. Enter one of your keywords into Google with
	  quotes around it. The quotes tell the search engine to only return exact
	  matches. Now you'll have a much clearer picture of your potential competition.
	  
 Let's assume, for example, that the Google summary says that there are 1000
	  listings for the keyword you entered. Well, rest assured that the vast majority
	  of these pages have not been properly formatted to achieve high rankings.
 
 In fact, I just assume that 95% of the pages are junk
meaning that only
	  5% of them represent any semblance of competition. So if you multiply 5%
	  by the 1000 listings in our example, it comes to a measly 50 competitive
	  listings. Bottom line, you won't have any problem achieving a high ranking
	  if you see these kind of numbers and your pages are properly
	  formatted.
 
 
	  Make your customers happy and watch
	  profits grow. Sell your own products or direct customers to the products
	  of suppliers whose commission-based affiliate programs you've joined.
 
      By applying these five simple steps
      for identifying and evaluating your niche business ideas, you can save yourself
      a great deal of work and make a great living on the Internet.
