What The Gurus Tell You About Niche Markets Is Often Too Simplistic

Every experienced Internet marketer knows how important it is to find profitable niche markets.

Unfortunately, a lot of what Internet marketing gurus teach about finding niches is very simplistic. It goes something like this:

1. Choose something that interests you or that you have experience in.
2. Plug the main keyword into a keyword research tool.
3. Check how many searches it generates. If it's about 30,000 per month, it's a good niche. Anything less than that is not a good niche. If it is way above 30,000 searches, there is probably too much competition in this niche market.

That's it! Based on those three steps, you are supposed to find a niche.

So, what's wrong with this advice?

Actually, nothing - except that it does not go far enough... I just published information about the extra steps you need to take on my main website. Click the link and scroll down to the second panel, titled "How Do The Internet Marketing Gurus Find Their Niches?"
