Day 2 Niche Picking

Hey Guys

Well in the scheme of things Day 2 didn’t go as planned. First of the 6.30am Wakeup went without a hitch and then the wheels started to come off. So as you can guess the workout didn’t happen as expected. lol. Thats ok. Plus not really being a breakfast person well I decided I will pass on that. But hey, don’t sweat the little things. What I am happy about is my planning is not very good.

Happy? Well if you make a plan and it’s not very good then you can at least revise it and improve it. So at the moment we got a domain with a blog posted and a Facebook Fan-Page with a link going to this blog and I’ve invited a few people to try and get some type of an audience. I always like to invite “some” family. Other than that I really want an audience of people that are going to be interested in what I have to offer. So in order to do that I need to know exactly what I intend to be doing.

Now when I say exactly, I dont actually mean the exact product/service or whatever it is you may have already or intend to produce. All I mean is too have an idea of the niche you intend to be in. If you have no idea this is what I would do.

Ask yourself, are you MORE passionate about Health, Wealth or Relationships? Well for me I’m actually passionate about all 3, but for this exercise I only want too pick one. I’m a bit undecided because I’m super passionate about Health in a huge way, so much so that I’ve already had a few sites connected to health. And I’m really passionate about Wealth, so much so that I want to figure out Exactly what the formula is too wealth online, and in the process help my followers learn from what I’ve learnt.

So as of yet I can’t lay claim to achieving either of these things in a huge life changing way YET but I sure as hell ain’t gonna give up. I’ve come too far and spent too much, both financially and put so much time into this process that I have too jump in now or just throw in the towel. Well I ain’t gonna do that.

So Yes the first real step is picking a Niche and for me I will “start” with Wealth. I have already decided that the way I want to make money is by being an Affiliate Marketer. And as an Affiliate Marketer I will sell products that are in the “Wealth” niche.

So thats all fine and dandy, but I was really hoping to get into the health side as well. No worries. But that can come later. Lets get ONE thing established, underway and under our belt FIRST, before we ADD any extras. Start slow, but START. Just Start.

Number one rule: START. JUST START!

So now I have a niche I want to figure out what my sub-niche is. For example, I’m in the wealth niche and I want to sell ____________  too _____________.  So I really want to know what I’m going to sell and too who. For example if I’m selling someones coaching program like Tony Robbins, then you would say “I want to sell “coaching programs from Tony Robbins too entrepreneurs/business owners or however that relates too your particular product/service.

A painter wants to sell painting services too “home owners/business owners/landlords/hoteliers” etc.

What is the sub niche? So for our demonstration “I want to sell E-business products too affiliate marketers/entrepreneurs.  I picked this because its something I LOVE.

Number two rule:  DON’T SELL PRODUCTS YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

This is what amateurs do. They go to clickbank, they see something that appears to be a BIG seller and without knowing a damn thing about the product they start promoting it. DONT DO THAT! You really should take the plunge to purchase anything you are selling. If the product fails and you’ve recommended it, look out. These are my thoughts. I’ve NEVER promoted anything I haven’t tried myself so thats just me. Unless you know for sure the legitimacy of a company/product/service you want your affiliations to be secure. So today I will be going thru the marketplace and deciding which products I want/may want too promote. If something looks really good I will just go ahead and buy it and see for myself.

Once I’ve decided on what I’m going to sell I will then devise a plan on “How” I will sell these products and too “Who”.

Once you know “Who” your audience is then you can start filtering them out, by finding where they hang out and get them onto your list.

But lets not get ahead of ourselves just yet. One thing I’ve learnt in this game, you only need to learn enough to do what your ‘currently doing’. In other words, if your setting up your first blog, don’t even worry about setting up your cart. You can do that when the time comes. ‘You only need to know what your currently doing’. Learn as you go.

Number three rule: LEARN AS YOU GO!

So the rest of tonight I will be researching some products I want too affiliate with and make sure I promote only the “BEST” product/service that I have personally used and know that results are actually guaranteed as long as the techniques presented are applied to get the result they are after. All the customer has to do is follow the plan.

Number four rule: FOLLOW THE PLAN!

Update from yesterday

I had to do a couple of things in word-press to categorise the menu but thats another story on the website building side. I use WA as my platform simply because they are an awesome platform and I can host 1 or 25 sites on the platform at no extra cost. The only extra cost is buying your domain name which is about $13.99 for a .com per year. I have been using WA for the last four years so I personally recommend the WA Platform. As a matter of fact I wont waste your time with stuff that DOES NOT WORK. Or at least not for me.

Day Two Recap… So today I kinda created my plan of attack, (plans can be altered and as you will see this is part of the process),I took imperfect action and I will tweak and refine things as needed. I figured out my niche, I’m finding/searching for my target audience and I wrote this blog plus I invited some entrepreneurs/self-employed people who are on my personal Facebook Page too join. Okay its 7.00pm here in New Zealand and it’s Election night so I think Its time to end this blog. Results have just come in 10 minutes after polling booths closed and at this early stage it’s showing as follow Labour 50.5% National 26.6% for New Zealanders interested in this. Time for a coffee and a quiet night with the wife and our fur baby “Ashley” the Chihuahua.

Tomorrow I will have a list of products I want to affiliate with and some idea of who my customer is and where I need to go to find those customers. The places they hang out. How to target them? Plus tomorrow I want too look at changing the header on the website to something more suitable. The current header is a generic one so we want something more ME! And figure out the next step forward, everyday I have too do something that will take me to my goals, which is another thing I want to talk about tomorrow.

Na zdraví
