[Tutorial] How to Find Profitable Niches & Keywords!

Excellent guide, nicely put together, I like it. Appreciate your effort.
 
Some useful and unique ideas there, many thanks for taking the time to compile the whole thing.
 
Nice tut for noobs. openlinkprofiler is good but mostly it's not much accurate. it will be better to check competitors with ahrefs before putting your eggs in. (or backlinkwatch.com)

Lovely tutorial mate and so well formatted too. I hope you won't mind if i share some of my own little tricks :)

- After brainstorming a whole bunch of KWs, I go to Amazon, search for a book on the niche and take a look inside the contents page. It will usually give me a whole lot of keywords that i might've missed. Same with the index page at the back. Do this for about 4-5 books and you have a whole lot of KWs.

- Then I'd go to a instructional website (Lynda, Udemy, Dummies) and go through the syllabus of a related course in the niche. Of course this won't work for some niches but will work for a whole lot of others.

- Watch a few authority YouTube videos on the niche and listen for any niche specific KWs. Lot of important phrases & words can be picked up this way.

Just a quick question: What the f*&k?
 
Your post on the other thread reminded me to come back here and comment. Anyway, this seems like a good guide for members who have a difficult time finding niches and keywords! I especially like the part where you mentioned finding long tail keywords using Google's search (it's a simple trick that I'm sure many new members are unfamiliar with).

Thank you mate I am glad you liked the guide and found it useful!

Stuff like this should be given to noobs when they sign up so they don't make threads asking how to make money. Great write up OP.

I think it's a good idea to have a resource for people to gain base knowledge. A lot of newcomers
fumble around a bit before they get the system. :)

Great and useful tutorial. Didn't ever work with openlinkprofiler, but it looks pretty useful. Thank you! :)

You're welcome Patco! Yeah it's the best free tool going in my opinion.

Nice tutorial Christian. Very detailed and explains a lot I see people asking about in BHW.

Thank you Nick! Glad you see you liked the guide and material. :)

Oh no, you've removed pxoxrxn's quote from your signature! :(

Haha pxoxrxn really does know how to phrase a response. I have chuckled more than
once with his replies.

Wow, very detailed and explanatory, perfect for anybody trying to understand niche and keyword research. Its also written with everybody in mind.

Good work.

Hey man happy it was clear and easy to follow. Thanks for your feedback!

good tutorial, very detailed. thanks for the share.

Anytime buddy!

Good job fixing the sub-headings mate ;)

Read it for the second time, still an excellent read, and very useful.

And yeah, I think they should hand like the BHW Book of IM when new guys sign up, where the best threads here are collected and so on. Would save everyone a ton of time, either writing a stupid post asking about something for the eleventh time, or someone answering that same question for the eleventh time.

Tutorials are like Chili beans....Their always better the second time. Thanks man ;)

the tool called Open Link Profiler not Online Link Profiler:D

Haha yeah! Should kick myself for typing out a 1700 word guide early in the morning. Nice catch ;)

Great tut RK. I will be using it as soon as i get time to.

Keep on posting great tuts on here :)

Great! Sure this is the tip of the iceberg buddy. We still have 2015 coming up ya know. :)

I have a question. Suppose a long tail keyword has Amazon and Ebay as the top results, but they aren't targeting the keyword. How hard would the competition be?

You can outrank those listings, but you have to remember that domain/page authority really matters
when you start sizing up with marketplaces like that. For example I was starting a niche website on
a current event and when I looked into the competition just about every site on the first page was top
news sites.

At that moment I looked for different search terms because the money I would have made from that
site was not worth trying to bump off NBC news. :) Heck eBay/Amazon is nothing compared to that
experience. Focus on some other long tails they get the job done and include those in your article while
you wait and work on beating these platforms for that keyword.


Where were you when I am starting out in IM? LOL! Very detailed tutorial, hope this will be a sticky and every noobs should be directed to this thread.

Most likely I was hiding in a hole and eating carrots lol...
Thanks Ice for stopping by and leaving feedback!

Another great tutorial from RK, we should make this thread sticky :)

I appreciate the nice words Lord! Glad you found it useful. :)

Awesome guide RK! Your on-site SEO has done great for me man.

Thanks buddy... We still have some work to get done on that project but it will rock for sure.

Great tutorial. Thanks for this. It was very useful.

Anytime mate :)

What do you think about keywords that have good metrics but only have e-commerce sites in the SERPS as competition? Because I've been noticing a strong trend in G showing more and more e-commerce sites in the serps. Also, those damn amazon and ebay pages seem like they are placeholders although they often have 0 links or PA

The hard part for ecommerce sites is most of them have bad on-site SEO with little content. It really depends on
what ecommerce site you are going after. Beat them with content and syndication. Hopefully you have a domain
that sizes up against them. :)

Great value add and some good nuggets in there!

Great! Hope it will help you out man.

Very helpful guide :-)

Thanks for stopping by David I appreciate your feedback as always. :)

SEMrush is a great tool, I am using it from last month. Nice tut RK :)

Oh yeah SEMrush is definitely my go to online tool. Everyone could use it in their war chest.

Excellent guide, nicely put together, I like it. Appreciate your effort.

You're welcome Aty I enjoyed writing it out!

Some useful and unique ideas there, many thanks for taking the time to compile the whole thing.

Sure thing! It is a bit long but worth the read in my opinion.

Great tips buddy :)

Hey man thanks I appreciate your nice words. :)

Nice tut for noobs. openlinkprofiler is good but mostly it's not much accurate. it will be better to check competitors with ahrefs before putting your eggs in. (or backlinkwatch.com)

Yeah I can partially agree with you on that one, but for people who can't afford premium tools its
a really good start for them. Thanks Prab!

Yes, wordstream is pretty nice tool. I use it along with GKT. Thanks to this guide I have found 3 more keywords for my site.

Awesome! Hope you bank hard on them.

Lovely tutorial mate and so well formatted too. I hope you won't mind if i share some of my own little tricks :)

I don't mind at all if you add some addition's. More info in one spot the better! And those were some
good tips by the way. Glad you liked it. ;)

Thanks for your Effort Buddy.. Really Impressive.. :)

You're welcome! Glad you liked it and thanks for the feedback buddy.
