How To Find Niches That Make Money

If you are looking to make money online then I think that you may find this article quite interesting. In order to make money from almost any business or store you would need customers, correct? Well online you need visitors, simply people that visit your website. There are several different sources of this Internet traffic. The main source of traffic is from search engines. There are an enormous amount of search engines on the Internet, but there are only a handful of important ones. If you are looking to find a niche that makes money online, then you will need to be indexed in one of the major search engines.



First of all, when looking for a niche or subject for your site to be based upon, you should use the correct tools to perform the research. AdWords has a free keyword research tool that works very well for this process. This tool allows people to see how many times different keywords get searched in the search engine Google and how much it costs advertisers to use them.



Once you have found a subject that you enjoy writing about and think that you could provide some useful information, then it is time to start thinking about how to get visitors. As I said earlier, there are only a few search engines that get a large number of searches. These engines are Google, Yahoo, and MSN.



So now you are probably thinking about how to get ranked high in these engines? Figuring out how to get in that high position is the key to making money online. You do not need an Internet marketing degree in order to accomplish this, but you will probably need some help. Forget about the word probably in the last sentence, because your going to need a bunch of help.



If you do not have someone who knows what they are doing, then the best way to go about this whole "make money online" process is by trial and error. After you have spent countless hours of building up websites that do not succeed you will begin to start figuring out what needs to be done.



With each mistake I have started to learn that targeted, search engine traffic is what makes the money. Think about it, a customer who is looking for a specific item is more likely to make a purchase than someone who is just passing time in a store. Social traffic draws so many people and the reasons are obvious - it is much easier to get than search engine traffic. This reminds me of the ancient cliche "if something is too easy, then it is probably not worth having."
