Marketing Niche Strategy – Your Blueprint For Success

What is a marketing niche strategy? do you have one?  If you are involved in any kind of affiliate marketing, then you should have one.  Without a marketing niche strategy you will definitely minimized your chances for success in Internet marketing.

Just in case you are not familiar with the term niche, and niche markets, I will briefly explain.  A niche market can simply be described as a small group of people that have a problem, and actively searching for a solution to that problem.

Here is an example of a niche market within the market of  computers, and how I would go about using a marketing niche strategy to promote this niche.

Example Niche

Computers – ( Market)
Laptop Computers – (Smaller Niche Market)
Micro Laptop Computer – (Even Smaller Niche Market)

In my example above, a niche market would be computers.  A smaller niche within  computers might be persons searching for information on laptop computers.  We can even further classify  the smaller niche of laptop computers to and even smaller niche market of people searching for micro laptop computers.

A marketing niche strategy for the  niche market of computers,  might be to focus our advertising on the term micro laptop computers, instead of focusing on the top level niche term, computers.

You may be wondering why your marketing niche strategy  should be focused on the term micro laptop computers, instead of the top level niche term, computers.  Studies have shown that top level niches are normally saturated with competition, from other advertisers.

My marketing niche strategy would be to advertise to the people within the sub niches, rather than the larger niche market of computers.  Let us now use our example niche market,  “micro laptop computers” to go through the steps that I would take, to get my marketing niche strategy started.

Our niche market keyword would also be the same as the niche we have chosen.  In this example, our  “long tailed” keyword would be, “micro laptop computers”, instead of the broader term, “computers”. The broader the keyword chosen, the lesser the chances would be for success, within that niche.

The first step I would take would be to research my chosen keyword, to see how much competition I am up against.  To do this I would go to goggle, and type my chosen keyword “micro laptop computers”, within quotes, into the search space provided.  I would then take note of how much other advertisers are using the same term.  If our competition is less than five thousand, or even ten thousand quoted results, then it should be okay to focus our advertising  on the keyword,  “micro laptop computers”.

Next, I would research to see how many persons have searched for my “long tailed” keyword within the last month. To do this I would use the goggle keyword research tool.  If the monthly estimated traffic is about one hundred, or more searches per month, then I would write my keyword rich article based on the keyword, “micro laptop computers”. I have chosen article marketing for this example only. There are many other advertising strategies available to use when advertising niches.
