Free Niche Research: Ireland

I’ve had the great opportunity to visit Ireland this spring, and while I managed (it was an organized trip traveling with a school choir), there were many things I wish I knew ahead of time. So, today, I’ll do some research for this excellent niche: I’ll be looking for key phrases related to traveling to Ireland. As you’ll see, if you get in some sub-niches, AdSense is HUGE!

Resources

The best place for information in this niche can be found even in the littlest town around: your hairstylist!

Possible Affiliate Programs

Amazon has many hair style accessories, DVDs, books, and more. Clickbank offers a few ebooks on hair styling. Here is one of them: The Top Twenty Five Formal Updos for Hair You Can Do. Of course, SAS and CJ have offers you can use as well.

Monetization Suggestions

While people may be looking for some information, I think most of them would love to actually “SEE” a step by step of how to do certain styles. Going back to your main resource, get together with your local hair stylist, or even a local beauty school, and shot videos of different types of hairstyles. Then upload those to your sit and offer affilaite links for all the products and accessories necessary to create that style.

Build a list! Send them quick tips on hair style and maintenance, to earn their trust. People interested in hair styles are also interested in beauty tips, and often fashion tips. Nurture that list and you’ll see amazing results.

Don’t forget to create some IPK style product page reviews for hair straighteners, hair extensions & other hair accessories.

One last thing: create your own product! It shouldn’t be that hard and the rewards are amazing!

Free Niche Research: Bread Machines

I LOVE home-made bread! As a matter of fact, I don’t buy bread: I make my own (been doing it for the past 20 years). I started by making it by hand: it was hard work, but so rewarding! A friend of the family took pity on me and gifted me with a bread machine. WOW! What a difference! Now bread making took 2 minutes to throw in the ingredients and I was done.

This past week, while working on my July challenge, I decided to create a demo store for one of my sites, where I’ll be offering niche mini-sites 😉 and Bread Machines was the niche I decided on. I’ll share with you here what I found out about this niche.

Top 10 Highest Paying Keywords (from the Google keyword tool)

zojirushi bread machines $1.47

cuisinart bread machines $1.38

toastmaster bread machines $1.37

bread machines panasonic $1.25

home bakery supreme bread machine $1.16

automatic bread machines $1.11

bread maker machines $1.05

cheap bread machine $0.95

salton bread machines $0.94

panasonic bread machine $0.93

Top 10 Most Searched Keywords (all phrases are exact matches in Google)

bread machine 49,500

bread machines 22,200

bread machine recipes 22,200

zojirushi bread machine 5,400

breadman bread machine 4,400

welbilt bread machine 2,900

bread machine mixes 1,900

bread machine reviews 1,600

oster bread machine 1,600

panasonic bread machine 1,300

Possible Affiliate Programs

Amazon.com, has just about every imaginable bread machine out there, and the reviews for dome models are amazing, which will help you sell better. You can also promote bread machine cookbooks, bread machine mixes, bread machine mixes, etc.

CJ had a couple of programs that offer bread machines, but the commission is not much better than Amazon, and with Amazon you can climb up in % with volume.

Monetization Suggestions

A review site is best in my opinion: pick a domain name that is generic for bread machines, and then review individual bread machines in detail. Check out this ebook to learn how to write a review that makes sales. These ladies are pulling in over $10K form Amazon sales.

I would definitely grow a list: maybe give away a quick report (for example: ” 7 things you need to check before investing in a bread machine”) and then keep your list interested by sending in tips on keeping their bread machine in top shape, special bread recipes, recipes for bread spreads, or other foods that can be a good companion to bread, etc.

And of course, get yourself a bread machine: you’ll be eating delicious bread every day, have inspired content for your site, and you can write it off as a business expense. Seriously: once you start making your own bread, you’ll never want to go back to store-bought bread.

Here are some .com domains available for this niche now:

breadmachinesreviews.com

ultimatebreadmachine.com

whitebreadmachine.com

Here are some .org domains available:

breadmachinereview.org

homebakerysupremebreadmachine.org

horizontalbreadmachine.org

And some .net ones:

automaticbreadmachine.net

breadbakingmachine.net

breadmachinereview.net
