Niche Selection

Here’s an interesting tool I’m playing with for niche selection. One tool of many and it’s free.

It’s called www.pickii.com and it lets you view top rated and reviewd lists from Amazon.com.  Not necessarily the hottest product, but the best reviewed.  I’ll let you know if I figure out how to really use it to capitalize.

What I’ve Learned In the Past Year

It’s been a year since I read the 4 Hour Work Week and decided to act upon it.  I actualy acted upon it with my own website about 9 months ago, but one year ago I got the resolve.

I’ve learned:

• I’ve taken the hardest road to success which is product creation from scratch.  If I had to do it all over again I would definitely start off in affiliate marketing and focus on niche selection and traffic generation.  Those two aspects have such a vast array of knowledge you need to learn anyway, trying to learn it on the fly while learning product creation, ecommerce set up, digital delivery, membership site creation, affiliate recruiting, copywriting and conversion, etc takes a toll.
• There are some great tools out there and there are other tools that just have great sales copy.  It’s hard not to buy the next best thing that comes on the market.  I’ve been spending a lot of money and some of it has been better than others.

One of the best traffic driving tools for me so far has been Traffic Geyser.  I really believe in video marketing and am trying to do more of it.  Starting over I would pick a niche, use Traffic Geyser and PPC to drive traffic and analyze that niche to see if I want to eventually develop my own product for it. I think if you master just those aspects up front you can dominate.  Once more I’m taking the long way around but it’s working out.

I’m hear that people with ADHD/ADD have the ability to hyper focus.  I’m glad I can do that.  The key is learning how to turn the hyper focus “on.”
