Taking the time to learn niche marketing for your business is crucial if you want it to be successful. Finding a niche market means finding a group of people who have a common problem that you can solve. It’s this niche market that you want to base your marketing around.

If you want to go where the real money is then you must ‘drill’ down even further and find the ‘Micro Niche’. There will be less people but they will be more targeted and with less competition, which means developing this Micro Niche will be your key aim to having an enduring and prosperous business.

To learn niche marketing there are a few things that are important to know, which includes spending a bit more of your time on research, before even thinking about your web site or what you can sell. In fact deciding what to sell comes last. Please don’t make the mistake of choosing a product and then trying to find someone to sell it to. That’s a recipe for failure.

Remember: Finding Targeted Niche Markets with a common problem or desire is your first aim, and then find a product.

If you want to offer a product or service to a hungry crowd, it takes work and effort to make sure you’re putting it in front of the right people. If you’re planning to use Pay Per Click or Banner Advertising in your affiliate niche market it’s your dollars that will be chipped away, so make sure you’re targeting the right people otherwise it’s money down the drain.

You need to think about what you’re doing, you need to plan and you need to do your homework and that means research if you’re going to be successful with a profitable niche.

Don’t be put off by research or having to spend more time doing it because as I’ve said right at the top of this blog ‘Making Money Online Isn’t Luck Its Strategy’.

Lots of people ask me about Web Hosting and I must admit there’s so many to choose from. A lot of the basic prices are roughly the same but what you get for your buck varies tremendously. To try and help, I have decided to review some of the most popular Web Hosting companies, and I’m going to start with HostGator.

Web Hosting For New Marketers

HostGator is excellent for those new to internet marketing and seasoned veterans alike; they have three main pricing plans with the favorite being ‘Baby Plan’. The current price today is $7.95 per month, and for that you get unlimited domains, unlimited disk space and unlimited bandwidth (subject to fair use policy). For those who are new and need to watch the pennies this is an excellent plan. If you don’t know how to build a web site then you’ll find the Easy Web Site Builder a breeze.

If you’re just putting your ‘toe in the water’ then maybe the ‘Hatching Plan will be the best Web Hosting plan for you. This allows you to host one domain but still gives you unlimited disk space and unlimited bandwidth. (You can always upgrade later).

For those who fancy building a few web sites or Blogs to sell along with Web Hosting, then have a look at the Reseller plans which start from $24.95 per month. If you need a dedicated server they start from $174.

HostGator is one of the most popular CPanel top hosting sites for internet marketers, and you can feel perfectly at home with just one or a large number of websites. With a wide range of plans which I know can be confusing for the beginner but they do make it easy to start low and upgrade as your business grows.

HostGator provides good live support. Unlike many services, the live chat option is staffed pretty much 24/7 and you will usually be talking to somebody who can actually help you, at least with shared and reseller Web Hosting plans. When it comes to setting up a dedicated server, however, you will need to know what you are doing and may have to wait longer for help, but that’s for the more experienced of you.

HostGator stand out among the top Web Hosting sites for low to mid range services such as shared hosting and reseller packages, and don’t forget the unlimited disk space and bandwidth.

If like me you love Blogging you can host an unlimited number of blogs under one hosting account. HostGator is definitely worth a try.

Watch out for more Web Hosting reviews.

Is Banner Advertising a familiar term to you? Chances are it is. No doubt you have already heard or seen it due to the numerous sites and Guru’s that promote them. In practical terms, so many sites have banner ads; there must be some benefits to banner advertising. It follows that all those websites wouldn’t use banner ads to get visitors and potential customers to their site if those ads didn’t work.

Of course there are many ways to advertise your site and to get people to visit, so the question may arise as to the benefits of banner advertising versus another form of advertising. Among the current optimization trend is using text instead of banners i.e.  Pay-per-click adverts, while others would create articles that contain their page URL in the resource box.

Before deciding which to use in your business ask yourself: Is price your only concern? How certain is it that paying more for ads will secure more visitors? How can you make the benefits of banner advertising work for you? Let’s give you some practical advice to aide you on making a decision about this.

The main benefit of banner advertising is that it’s inexpensive, whether you select pay per click or flat rate payment. Through pay per click you only have to shell out a portion of a penny for every hit whereas in flat rate, rate usually ranges from $5-$10 a month for your banner to spread over different sites. That by the way is called ‘paying for Media advertising’.

With banners you pay every time someone clicks on the banner.  These are shown on the Content Network as opposed to Pay per click which is shown on Google’s search results page. This means that PPC is way more expensive than banners. Well thought out banners however, with good graphics and a compelling headline can get potentially thousands of visitors every month so this is one of the obvious benefits of banner advertising over other forms.

Getting your target audience is considerably easier with banner advertising. Articles and links displayed on hosting sites have a more long term probability of attracting your target group. But with banner ads, you can choose the types of sites on which they’ll appear and it can happen within hours of starting your campaign.

Not only that, with more targeted visitors that come to your site, you are more likely to see them becoming your customers. If you’ve pushed the visitor ‘buttons’ they will be more responsive to whip out the credit card.

This is a fantastic subject which has the possibilities of making you some decent money without breaking the bank first.

I’m going to re-visit this topic so keep tuned.
