The first step in this process is to “select a market”. That is, you’ll want to identify a group of people that you want to sell to – a “target audience”. A “market” is simply a body of existing or potential buyers for specific goods or services.
So, you simply feed them other offers that are highly related to the one that they’ve already identified as being important to them.
Instead of looking for tiny “niches”, you look for larger markets and feed them multiple, highly related offers.
After writing a few of these small reports (you can easily write several in a month’s time) it’s time to begin doing three important things that will quickly escalate your profit…
With a few strategic steps you can –without writing anything more than 7-15 pages of content at a time – create offers that sell for $997 and beyond!
I’ve seen hundreds of business plans, multi-million dollar corporations come and go, and Internet budgets the size of a small country’s gross national product fail to produce a profit.
Ask one of the high paid consultants to these huge behemoths and they will tell you that it is a shot in the dark for what works online. They just don’t know.
I’ve profited from simple one page mini-sites…but they are not the Internet XFactor. A mini-site is simply a one or two page web site which you use to create sales for a product or send leads to another site you’re an affiliate of.
Through all my online adventures…and with everyone else I’ve helped to build profitable Internet businesses…there is one “Secret” to building a profitable Internet business.
My business consists of only 2 people…my wife Julie and myself. That’s it. We have no other employees. We don’t need any. The ability to automate online has opened the doors to the real virtual office. I can run my worldwide publishing business at home, while traveling, on the beach, anywhere. It doesn’t matter.

Internet niche marketing is one of the fastest growing industries around. The Internet has become a vital resource for many and with so many people regularly using the Internet; smart investors are realizing the potential for generating a profit from society’s ever growing dependence on the Internet.
This Ebook will provide useful information for those who are interested in learning more about this cutting edge market and beginning a potentially lucrative career in niche marketing.
A great deal about niche marketing can also be learned via the Internet by examining the websites of direct competitors in your niche. This is an important step because the competitors’ websites can be used to determine which elements of the website design are most effective for reaching potential customers. Understanding this will help the website owner to create a niche website which is superior to the competition.
Linked with the concept of niches is the concept of a “market demographic profile”. There are many general ways to break the base of customers into segments, and if you break them down far enough, each of them qualifies as a broad, general niche.
You see many examples of “long tail” marketing all over the Internet, but the full realization of the power of this marketing method is just beginning to be understood. In the rest of this book, we’re going to thoroughly explore the niche marketing strategy. Our studies will range from dry and scholarly to freakishly quirky, but always will be covering some very exciting territory!
Flipping virtual real estate (websites and domains) is very much like that. During the “boom” years, website flipping was so hot, things got a little silly. But now, everyone is very conscious of the economic downturns, so if you are expecting to breeze in, throw a bit of paint on the walls, and sell your modest one-bedroom fixer-upper for mansion prices, web site flipping may come to disappoint you.
Blogs and web sites that do sell for 5 figures are a perfect example of the principle of fully monetizing a site.
The best step you could take next is to do some good research before plunging off the deep end. (Which later we’ll show you is actually not that deep – there’s a learning curve, but you definitely won’t need the water wings!)
Do your research. Get a feel for your market – and for the competition. See what’s selling, and who is buying. The good news is, this actually won’t take as long as it sounds – if you know where to start and what to look for.
