Target Long Tail Keywords To Make Money Online
As many of you already know that keywords are the most essential part of online business. It’s very important to do a keyword research and the competition research before starting a website or Blog.
Keywords are divided into two parts “short tail” and “long tail” keywords. Short tail keywords gets the high amount of searches on the web and very hard to rank but on the other side long tail keywords gets very less searches but easy to for example “colon cleanse” is a short tail keyword and it is very hard to rank on the other side “best colon cleanse herbal product” is a long tail keyword but it is easy to rank moreover it is commercially viable.
Commercial Viability
Commercial viability is another factor that you need to understand before targeting a keyword. However, “best colon cleanse herbal product” is long tail keyword but it is a buying phrase that means the users who are searching for this keyword are in the mood of buying a colon cleanse product. So it is natural that this keyword would also have competition but with a little hard work I am sure you will able to rank on this keyword.
Buying Keywords
Long tail keywords are usually more commercially viable. People who are searching for “colon cleanse” is not always in the mood of buying the product. But those people who are searching for the keyword “best colon cleanse herbal product” are more into the mood of buying a colon cleanse product that’s why long tail keywords are also buying keywords.
How To Find Long Tail Keywords
As I already told you that long tail keywords are usually commercial viable and could make you good money. But, it is not easy to find a long tail keywords which gets good amount of searches. You should always focus on keyword that will only get 2000 to 3000 hits per month and try to dominate the 1st position for that keyword on Google. You can use a Google adwords tool which is the best keyword tool available for finding long tail keywords.
Tip – I suggest you to choose a phrase match option in Google keyword tool, as it gives me the best result.
Example
2000 to 3000 hits per month may be sounding very low to you now, as I know it from experience that it used to sound very low to me. But, for example if you have only have 10 keywords in hand and if you are able to dominate the 1st position on Google for those keywords then it means that you will get at lest 500 to 800 hits per day on your site or Blog which is not bad. 1000 targeted hits per day will make you decent money if you monetize your landing pages in a good way.
Still It Is Not Easy
The above example sounds very easy to you and now I think you would have started to calculate the conversion rate but it’s no that easy. You need to work on it every day without losing your focus to make it possible.

How To Find A profitable Niche To Start Affiliate Marketing
Which is the best niche to start affiliate marketing or how to find a profitable niche to start a online business? This is the most common or popular question among newbies and when I first came into online marketing around 2 years back I also researched on internet very much to find the answer of these question. I asked this question on forums, watched lots of online marketing videos and read lots educational stuff about online marketing. I spent many hours surfing online to find the answers of this question and later on I have realized that I was only wasting my time in reading the stuff. I was not taking any action and using all the knowledge to find a niche that I have gathered after researching many hours online and after that moment, I just minimized my learning time and started taking some actions to find a niche on the basis of knowledge that I have had that time. So check out my explanation for finding a profitable niche that will surely help you in finding your profitable niche to start affiliate marketing in order to find your profitable niche or offers to promote.
What are the factors of a profitable niche?
Many people who have been looking to find a profitable niche to start their online business must have came across to “web hosting” niche. Web hosting is one of the most profitable niche in online world. But, is this niche really a profitable for you? there is no doubt that it is one of the most lucrative niche but it’s very hard to compete in this niche so whenever you look for a niche to start affiliate marketing do research the level of competition in that. So if the competition is beyond your ability to handle then its better to move on to a smaller niche because the best profitable niche for you which will give you the maximum ROI (return on investment).
I also like to mention one more thing here that if your planning to start affiliate marketing via blogging then your interest about that topic also matters very much, because in order to make it successful you need to maintain and update your blog regularly and without any interest or passion its impossible to do.
Where I can go to find these lucrative niches?
As you already know that online world is very big and opportunities are endless here. There are probably many hidden niches that you may choose to start your online career.The best way to find a niche that will fit into the competition and ROI criteria, is to get an account on some of the best affiliate networks and start browsing their products or offers. For example, neverblue has the best dating offers to promote that comes under the “dating category”, and under that you can find a subniche that is “single parents dating”.
You can also go to ebay pulse and shopping.com to browse many subniches . I would also suggest you not to go for a broader niche, always try to dig deeper and find a subniche. In the starting it may sound not good to you, I am saying this because of personal experience but do try it and you will really get surprised with the results.
How to estimate the competition?
There are several tools that available online, most of them are free that will help you to estimate the competition. But, before going to estimate the competition you need to decide your traffic source. If you are mainly dependent on search engines to get traffic then you need to look for organic competition and calculate the competition based on that. You can use a free tool called SEO for firefox that will make this process easy for you and if your main source of traffic is google adwords or other PPC search engines then the following formula will help you to decide the profitabilty of a particular offer.
Formula with Example:
Suppose if a offer has a 5% conversions rate and $20 payout/conversion that means you will have 5 conversions on 100 clicks.
Now you need to find the EPC to know if you can make this campign profitable for your or not.
EPC = Total Earning/Total Clicks
$100/100 = $1
It means in order to make this campaign profitable by even 1%. You need to get a click at $0.99 if you are sending traffic directly.
If you don’t have much experience with paid affiliate marketing and have limited amount of money then I would suggest you to learn SEO and drive traffic to your site.
I hope all the above points will help you to find a profitable niche. Please do let me know if you have any question about finding a profitable niche also dont forget to share your opinion about this post.
