Over three weeks in hospital treating a severely infected leg. That’s why I disappeared without notice. I asked the doctors where the infection came from and they all said the same thing. It comes easily to overweight and/or diabetic persons.
Just another reason I need to continue dieting and lose weight to prevent this happening again.
And thanks to those of you who emailed me wondering where I was. I really appreciate your concern.
OK then let’s get back to work…
Seeing the name of this blog is Niche Market Strategies, I thought it appropriate to have prepared a 6 day course on the subject.
“How To Find Profitable Niches” is the name of the course and it will be posted on the blog starting in a couple of days. You won’t even have to sign up to receive it, and you will save the hassle of getting emails. I do my best to make it easy for you.
Each segment will be posted every 3 days. I hope you enjoy it, and find it truly useful.
My friend Tuks just released a 32 product Bundle that he has named the Master Blasters Package. 32 products with Master Resale Rights that he is selling for $27. That’s less than a dollar each.
I have only one question for you. If I told you he is including it in the Digital Resale Rights Membership don’t you think it’s about time you signed up for your membership?
You get the membership for only $2 more, a total of $29. And for that you get the bundle plus 30 or 40 products already added in March. If that’s not enough for you, you also have access to every product added to the membership from the beginning.
What’s that expression? Wake up and smell the coffee, or the roses, or whatever.. But just wake up to reality!
Ari left me this message on my blog which I found quite interesting. He wants to know how I come up with fresh ideas every day for my good quality content.
Finding fresh ideas on what to post to your web site or blog is very challenging.
But first, permit me a short rant on the subject of quality.
What is truly sad is the quality of most of the emails I get every day. Pure junk is the way many are written. Many are written in 2 lines telling you to go here and read this…
They assume in their arrogance, that we will automatically obey them. The delete key is what they deserve and I give it to them.
And then, even more aggravating are all the spelling and grammatical errors that come in most emails, as well as on many articles. You guys ever heard of proofreading your own work.
I recently read an ebook on blogging that is super. But I almost threw it against the virtual wall due to almost 100 spelling errors and horrible grammatical mistakes. This author brags how he makes enough money from his ebook to travel around the world. So how about showing your readers some respect, and spend $100 on proofreading. Is it so hard?
Well, Ari let me answer your question.
Firstly, there arn’t many marketers in the net world that have an easy way of getting great ideas to write about. It really can be very challenging. Sometimes I can get a few good article subjects in one week, and other times I can go 2 or 3 weeks bone dry of ideas from my own head.
So what’s the solution?
Research is the only way. You really need to stay up to date as to what is going on in the world of Internet Marketing, and for that you have to read lots of emails. Of course you have to find the email authors that actually give you information worth something.
Very important too, is to read articles from article directories, and get tons of ideas there. So I pick out some highlights from different articles, and use that to create my own article. Never do I copy other authors’ work, and claim it’s mine. That is forbidden by both copyright laws, and the law of common decency and honesty.
PLR articles.
You can buy private label rights articles and change the text at least 30%. I like to change it up to 60%. The title should also be changed. The articles you bought are legally yours, but changing the text makes the article safe in the eyes of Google. Google won’t punish you for duplicate content. This is my favorite way to get good articles.
So you see, you really have to do some work to get good content. But the research is really worth it. And the beauty of this method is that it’s totally free.
So what about the paid way? Can you buy good content. Sure you can, if you can afford it. At the beginning you may do your own work, but as you get more income, you should spend to buy good quality content.
One of the most popular ways is to hire ghost writers who can write articles legally and exclusively yours for as low a price as $9 each.
You can also get PLR articles by joining a membership site. I joined lots of them, but then I changed my mind and quit most of them. Why? Because you invariably get articles you don’t care about. I have accumulated articles for so many niches that have traveled around the world many times, that I wouldn’t dare to use these overused niches at all. So the money is wasted unless you are prepared to use these niches.
What I do now is buy PLR articles that are offered on just one or two specific subjects. Only buy what interests you, and only buy if the language is good English. It’s also important to know that the articles have limited distribution. In other words, not too many copies will be sold.
So there you have it my friends. Get articles using whatever method suits you. But do use quality content on your blog or web site. It will make a difference in how successful you can become.
I have it on record that I recently offered an expensive training ground for serious newbies. Not too many could afford those higher costs, even though the value is there, and the teachers are the best in the game.
So are there any other choices? Of course there are. Every guru or wannabe guru is offering mentoring. Not cheap though. But I do have something you can easily afford.
Everyone Wants To Have An Online Business
Right! And this is what makes the vultures come out of the woodwork. They feed on your desire to have an internet income. They create product after product that promises to make you rich. They write ebook after ebook each one holding all the answers to your one big desire.
These products and ebooks are getting more expensive all the time. The best of the best, the really hyped products and ebooks are marketed by the very well known marketers and sell for prices well over the average persons price range. They claim you should be able to find the money for this huge price tag because it is the only product that will get you into the big money.
They have testimonial after testimonial from well known “gurus” who used their product successfully. The testimonials are rave reviews. “Wow, why hadn’t I thought of that!” and “Best marketing idea yet.” and “Anyone would be a fool not to get this product.”
To these big named “gurus”, a thousand dollar product means nothing to their budget. Not to mention the fact that these guys and gals all give their products to each other just to get the big named testimonials. They didn’t even have to shell out the big bucks because their name is well known enough to sell the product.
So, I give you my new product because you have a big list or a well known name. You write a wonderful review about the product that you received free. Talk about how it is well worth the price tag that you didn’t have to pay. Exclaim that it is wizardry in an ebook and how it will take over the internet marketing world. Mention that anyone who doesn’t have this ebook will be left behind. Say that this new concept will revolutionize the internet and those who aren’t willing to fork over the money this instant, might as well give up now.
Now people all over the world are scrambling to scrape together a thousand bucks somehow. They have to or they will lose out forever. This is their final last chance to make it online.
You know what? It’s all BS. Have you ever bought anything from one of those self proclaimed gurus? The products usually come with an upgrade. The thousand bucks is for the stripped down version. For the real meat you have to commit to paying a huge monthly fee. Hundreds of dollars a month in many cases.
If you don’t upgrade, you lose again. There is very little, if any, support available for the product if you don’t take the upgrade. The average person is left a thousands dollars lighter in the wallet and nothing but frustration to show for it.
They don’t tell you about this upgrade until after you pay for the product. They also don’t tell you that in order to achieve the goals set out in the ebook or product you will have to spend more money on advertising or other software to make it work. They certainly don’t tell you that they won’t even help you unless you upgrade to the monthly billing package that will completely wipe out your grocery budget and then some.
The biggest problem hasn’t even been revealed yet. This problem is the way these “Hot Shots” have brainwashed you. They made you think that the only way you are going to get good, valuable information is if you pay the big price tags on their exclusive products. This is the saddest lie of them all.
When you run across a website that offers the true solution to your quest, you discount it as useless if the cost is low or the name isn’t very well known. You
automatically associate the low price tag with low quality. The gurus trained you to think that way. They had to in order to survive. In order for them to continue to circle around you like vultures, they have to keep you from leaving their circle of money grabbers by making you believe the only true answer is behind their super high “Buy Now” button.
Prices that are so high they have to break them down into monthly installments so you might even consider them. Then you have to decide, can we go without cable, a phone and gas for the car for the next 8 months so we can finally get ripped off big by the big named guys?
Let me tell you… There are plenty of lesser known people out there who are helping people just like you. They are doing it for far less of an investment and they are readily available to help you when you get stuck. They are flying under the radar because their products aren’t high priced enough for the gurus to bother with.
The gurus are not interested in truly helping anyone, buyers or sellers, unless the product or service will increase their fame and fortune. Good or bad, they don’t care. Their main interest is helping each other make more money and gaining altitude in the marketing world. Getting their name so well known that you will buy anything from them, sight unseen just because their name is on it.
If you really want an online business that will make you money, it can easily be done without going into debt. You just have to look beyond the hype and settle down. Stop reading the words of the big named marketers and start working. There is no magic in the business world, online or off. Everyone has to do the same work to get the same results.
The problem most people have is they are trying to buy the “Great Answer” and never realize it was always there. The little guy in the corner had it. He was willing to tell you all about it but you didn’t think he was important enough to talk to.
Margaret Albright has been helping normal people with normal budgets become successful webmasters for many years. If you want to get an online business off the ground with step by step instructions, free tools and unlimited email support… Take a look at the Ultimate Memberships Site
So you see REAL HELP is available for much less than you think! What have you got to lose with such a bargain price for such high value.
I use a lot of PLR articles to supplement articles I write myself. The need for fresh content is so demanding (by you and Google) that it is a lifesaver to use private label content that I can edit and use. All this said to explain why I bring you my friend who will better explain the advantages of PLR. So here we go.
by Sharon Bray-McPherson
“Content is King”, “Search Engines Love Fresh Content”,
“Write Your Own Articles for Real Success”!
If you’ve been involved in marketing for any length of time you’ve no doubt seen those comments many times.
Those in the marketing blogosphere know that one of the keys to a successful and prosperous blog is to consistently add fresh content to your blog. Not only will this make your blog more enjoyable for your visitors and keep them coming back, but it is true that - “Search Engines Love Fresh Content”
- and a freshly updated blog will be indexed by the engines quicker and more frequently.
But what about those times when you can’t think of anything to write about? Or maybe you don’t always have the time to write interesting content for your blog, website or newsletter yourself.
There’s no question that free article directories can be lifesavers, there are however; a few drawbacks to using resources like these. They include…
* Hundreds of others are using the same articles. If your subscribers or readers see the same article in your newsletter or on your blog that they’ve seen dozens of times before, they’re more likely to stop opening the newsletter or visiting your blog.
* Your readers or blog visitors will come to think of you as an expert in your field if you write your own articles. The articles that you use from directories however; usually have
the name and website address of the author, which in the mind of your reader, makes them the expert, not you.
* You run the risk of search engines penalizing, or worse, banning, your blog or website for duplicate content.
So what do you do?
Well, you could hire a “ghost” or “freelance” writer to write your content for you (at $15 to $100 an hour).
Or - you can use private label content.
If you are not yet familiar with the private label concept, it means that you can take articles, software, ebooks, etc; that was created by someone else and use the content in an endless variety of ways just as if you’d written or created it yourself, and you can modify or add to the content in any way you desire!
The benefits and potential uses of private label articles are virtually endless, but this should give you a few ideas:
* Create your own network of “niche” websites that generate affiliate and Google Adsense income.
* Generate free website traffic through the major search engines.
* Add freshly written content to your existing sites on a regular basis.
* Start your own profitable “chain” of online or offline newsletters.
* Generate free traffic by utilizing private label articles on blogs, or submit your articles to newsletter editors for use in their publications.
* Create books, ebooks and other information products to sell or distribute.
As they say, “Content is King” and with private label content you’ll be able to generate unlimited exposure for the products and services that you promote without spending a dime on advertising!
There are several ways for you to accquire private label articles, but undoubtedly the quickest and easiest is is to join Private Label Rights membership sites. Doing so will assure that you’ll always be among the first to gain access to hot niche articles as soon as they become available.
In closing, there is one thing I need to caution you about when using private label content, either from packaged articles or from a membership site.
While most PLR membership sites limit the number of members permitted to join to avoid over-saturation of their articles; there will be other people with access to the same articles as you’ll be using.
For that reason it is important that you not just choose an article and paste it into your blog, website or newsletter “as is”. Take a few moments to edit the article to fit your own style or niche. This can be done by adding to, subtracting from, or rearranging the content until it truly does become “your own”.
Or you can use one of the many software programs on the market today that will create unique content from private label articles automatically.

Now that the dust has cleared and all the better known article submission programs and services have been tried and tested, it appears a clear winner has emerged.
Article Submitter Pro
The huge advantage you have, using ASP, is that it takes you to each article directory separately, where the submission is done with extreme accuracy. For example, you’re assured that the right article category is selected for that site, because you decide which category to use.
There have evolved some cheapie “one click” submission programs. With them, it’s a hit and miss game, as to whether the right category gets chosen.
Article Submitter Pro will never be one of those “one clickers”, and here’s why:
1. The “one clickers” and all the other submission programs, can only submit to one or two types of directory scripts. ASP can reach all of them including, and especially, all the highest ranked sites.
2. More and more directories are adding Imaging Coding to their registration and submission forms, which means you have to actually be there to get your submission to go through. In the next 6 months this alone will render the one clickers obsolete.
3. There are over 15,000 category choices to choose from among all the article directories. When ASP is not sure which one to select, ASP lets you choose the exact ones that will give your article maximum exposure.
4. As you’ve probably seen, some of the directories are rather quirky and require some extra navigation. ASP is the only software that can get past all that.
5. Article Directories (submission sites) are imperfect by nature. The way they act is up to the one who installed it. So some of the article directories may tend to mess up with their field tags. Some may have done something that prevents your bio box from being entered in auto fill, others may omit your keywords and other important things needed for your articles to get the most benefit from submissions.
So by ASP making you actually be there, you can get around these “imperfections” and maintain near perfect submissions every time.
Article Submission isn’t the same as url submission, blog submissions, classified ad submission, etc. You need to be careful that your articles are submitted correctly.
After all, your articles are supposed to portray you as the expert in your field. How can they do that if they’re all messed up and incorrectly formatted?
Because of this special care that Article Submitter Pro gives in submitting articles, it comes off as being the only truly professional grade article submission program.
You know, sometimes when you want something done right, it might take a little longer to accomplish. And though Article Submitter Pro may appear too meticulous, and longer to submit than “one clickers”, it still does it 12 times faster than submitting articles manually.
Plus it does it 90% more accurately than any other software or service on the market today.
Here are a couple of examples illustrating why Article Submission Pro is really and truly PRO.
A list of over 1,400 submission sites. Some don’t require registering, and logging in, but most do. ASP helps you to register before starting to submit. Logins after that, are automatic.
You get to decide if a site is in the correct niche for your article. Even the Google Page Rank is shown. So just check the sites you want to submit to, and then save the selection for the next time. There are so many sites to submit to, that I still have not finished my selection.
You can enter an unlimited number of Resource Boxes to use. When submitting, choose 1 or more bio boxes for each article, and ASP will alternate between your choices. The advantage of this is that you link back to more of your main pages.
I really can’t list all the features here, or we’ll have to go into “overtime”. Besides, you can see a lot more data at the Article Submitter Pro web site.
Notice that I have not tried to convince you to submit articles, as I’m sure you’re intelligent enough to accept the benefits your web site gets, when you do submit. When people read your articles and like them, they will want to see more of your work. So they may well click on your link in the resource box. That’s how you get…
Traffic! That’s what you get from submitting articles the right way. But if you’re not fully convinced, then go visit Article Submitter Pro
Well here I am hobbling along on my crutches down the corridor towards my appointment. My legs are weak and just barely hold me up. It’s a pain just to walk. I can only walk for one minute, before stopping to catch my breath.
When you’re as overweight as I am, you get a lot of criticism, such as “you don’t have any will power”, or “you eat too much”, “why don’t you at least try to lose weight”, “how many fries did you have today”, and so on…
After a while you stop hearing the remarks, you just ignore everyone. Except one… as I pass a little boy around 5 years old, he doesn’t stop staring, more like gawking. He utters in astonishment “Mister, you’re fat!”
“Mister, why are you so fat?”
Well that hurts. As impervious as I’ve become to adult remarks, I find it hard to accept the feelings of the little ones, the children who don’t know how to lie politely. And frankly we wouldn’t want them any other way.
So I spend some time asking myself what went wrong with my diet plans. Why has my motivation left me? I punish myself for a day or two, and then eventually brush it all aside. Back to living in denial.
I badly need hip surgery, as my right hip needs replacement. But the doctors refuse to operate until I lose at least 60 pounds. So my head is in turmoil, and I seesaw between a few days of motivation and a day or two of depression.
Where is the answer to my dilemma.
I just bought the latest diet book online. It’s not bad too. All I need do now is follow up by looking at the ebook more than once.
Can anyone really help me? Do you have any words of wisdom for an old man who’s desperate, yet won’t try hard enough. Maybe the answer lies with that little boy who tells it like it is. Is it enough to shame me into reality!
Leave me a comment if you can offer any advice. Even if you want to yell at me, it’s OK. I probably need it.
Hey look, I know I’m not alone with this dilemma. Is there a way to get together online, to exchange sob stories, or better yet to offer encouragement. Maybe we just need to know that we are not alone in this dreadful battle.
Have you noticed how so very popular they’ve become, especially in just the past year! I’m sure they have tripled in the last 12 months.
Of course there are membership sites serving different purposes. The main one I belong to is Digital Resale Rights Club and that’s where I get all my Master Resale Rights and Prival Label Rights products. They can be sold or given away, depending on each one’s rights given.
Lately Tuks Engineer has been offering packages for sale. These contain 20 to 30 products priced at about one dollar each. During January, Tuks is stunning me with several packages he has already added, along with so many individual ebooks, videos, and software. It’s probably triple what he used to add. And if you buy the packages from him individually, you’ll end up paying 3 times the membership price.
It’s really a good deal. The most recent pack he is offering is this, and here is what he says about it…
My Ebay Empire
It’s impossible to summarise what’s inside My Ebay Empire, but here are the key benefits as I see them:
- Newbies get not only videos but highly powerful blueprints to show them exactly how to use eBay to generate serious sales. Even if you’ve never sold a thing online before, follow this blueprint and you’re certain to succeed.
- There’s powerful information including the hottest niches that flourish within eBay (and some of the best categories you should be posting ads in).
- You’ll discover the exact methods a few elite info-product owners are generating thousands per week by selling eBooks & information within eBay. Believe me, there’s a right way to do this and it rocks.
- You’ll tap into a secret system of finding high performance software (without paying a dime) and sell it on eBay for huge amounts. This snippet of info alone is worth multiples of the entire package cost if you ask me.
- You get updates for life - so when I see a new eBay package that I can add, I’ll get it for you (and you never have to pay a cent extra). Bottom line, you keep getting new eBay packages till you’re old and grey.
You’ll never get another chance to dominate eBay in this way. It’s up to you if you want to take advantage of it…
I know you’ll be overwhelmed when you visit the Digital Resale Rights Club
From the beginning, over 2 years ago, Tuks has not removed anything from his membership site. So when you join you’ll find that your search for quality products is solved, as you’ll get access to everything. So take a look at Digital Resale Rights Club if only to see the massive list of products added in Jan alone.
Have fun with it, and more importantly, start making money with this goldmine of products.
There are many definitions of Niche Markets, but they all come down to the same thing. Internet Marketing is a general subject, but niches within it are many, such as Affiliate Marketing, Article Marketing, etc. But even these are too broad, too general, and for you to have a chance of success, you need to select smaller niches within them.
Niches are very small markets within the general ones. The markets are so small that they become highly targeted, and as a result there usually is not much competition. And this is exactly why you need to select this type of niche to market to. I call these gold mines.
You often hear the advice that you should market something you like, or maybe even your hobby. But this advice is not so great, as it severely limits your chances of selecting a good niche. My hobby was photography, and if I had selected that niche, I would be fighting severe competition, in the form of millions of web pages perhaps. Digital cameras are the rage in the past 10 years, compared to standard cameras, yet I still saw viscious competition. I ended up wasting 2 months time just trying to find a niche to promote that I could love, or at least not hate. I never did choose a niche that I knew.
My message is simply this: grow up, forget the niches you love, and learn new things, that’s what the Internet is here for. Look for unlikely choices of niches and you’ll make choices that give a chance of making some real money.
If you select one based on a market you already know well, then fine. If not, no big deal. If, for example, one of your choices is gardening, it is much too huge to enter. If you look at subsets within gardening, such as container gardening or bonsai gardening, then these have a better chance for you. If you dig deep inside one of those, better yet. You just improved your chance of success.
Container gardening offers lots of choices of indoor containers, so look into that. Bonsai gardeners need plants,
so research and find out if you have to go to Japan to find them. You’ll discover special tools, and information in ebook format that you can sell as an affiliate from your website or blog.
The search engines, preferably Google, is where you’ll find out if there is an active buyers market. Input your keywords for the niche and see what is selling. Study the paid ads from the pay per click market. If lots of ads, it means there is money being made, If not, they would not be bidding on those keywords. Check the prices of the keywords, and if high, it means there is a good market.
Follow up by examining smaller niches within these secondary ones that are still too competitive, and may leave you in the Internet dust. Be careful you don’t go too deep exploring for niches, avoid niches where there are no competitors as there might not be any buyers either.
Ebay has a new feature that ranks hot auctions that are going on. You might be able to identify some great prospects just by looking at what’s hot at eBay. In this case keep looking for more targeted aspects of the niche or pick a new one to research.
If you’re a newbie, you will be ecstatic when you discover a good targeted niche. But please do not stop researching. You’ll soon discover that you should have several niches to sell products for, even if totally unrelated. Yet, this is what the super successful affiliate marketers do, they keep looking for gold.
Much more information on Marketing to Niches is available at my web site at Best Affiliate Products and Niche Market Strategies. Why don’t you visit and join my newsletter. You’ll be more than welcome there.
You’ll soon appreciate Niche Marketing much more, once you start making real money as an Afflliate. Enjoy…
