Mar 2nd
First step: identify your niche market
One of the biggest problems that are frequently being seen is that many people try to start creating a website without really understanding how the internet works. A crucial step which is often ignored or overlooked by beginners is market and niche research.
In this article I will be looking at a number of important concepts relating to market and niches. This includes:
What is an online market?
What is a niche and how does it relate to a market?
When you initially begin exploring the online marketing word, you will frequently hear people discussing various online markets. The correct definition of a market is a group of people who have a common interest in a specific topic or activity. To facilitate communication between the members, this group will often use their own specific phrases and terminology.
Markets
The most effective way to “grasp” the concept of a market is to take a look at a concrete example:
The “gardening market” is made up of people who have an interest in things related to gardens. Some examples of the jargon used by members of this market are: pollination, tap root, damping off, drop spreader, fastigiated, etc. Unless you have an interest in this subject these words will not resonate with you.
Once you understand the basic concept that a market is an online community with its own vocabulary and terminology, you will swiftly come to realise that there are hundreds and may be thousands of markets waiting to be discovered.
Niches
Inside each individual market, there are numerous niches. A niche is a distinct segment of a market.

The more advanced functions:

Successful Internet Marketing ?5 Easy Steps to Help You Choose the Best Niche For Your Website
Feb 26th
Picking a profitable niche is crucial in driving traffic to your website. Although there are no guaranteed techniques to select a lucrative niche, I will show in this article 8 simple steps which will help you to choose the best niche for your website.
1. Create a list of your interest and hobbies
Make a note of everything you are enthusiastic and interested about. This is extremely important as writing about a subject that you like will help to keep you motivated about your website. This could really be about anything, sports, vintage cars, upholstery, etc.
2. Create another list that concentrates on the things you excel at
Learn from your friends and family what they believe you are great at! Some people may bring up subjects you would never have considered! In my particular case, the fact that I was good at drawing was a recurring theme amongst my friends and family! However, it could be that you are good with children or the elderly, or excel at baking!
3. Combine the 2 Lists
If you can find any similarities between the 2 lists this will give you a good head start on the subject you can write about on your website. Having said that, you don’t need to be an expert to write about a specific subject. You can still select a topic as long as you are passionate about and willing to learn about it.
4. Select your preferred top 3 niches
From the combined list you put together in step 3, extract the top 3 subjects you are most passionate about. Next, use Google keyword tool to find out the numbers of monthly visitors to your potential niche. Ideally you should be aiming for a niche showing a figure in excess of 20,000 searches per month.
Learn Internet Marketing ? Why a Good Mentor is Important to The Success of Your Website
Feb 24th
So you have decided to try and give this whole “web thing” a go! You are now asking yourself the question where do I start? “How do I make my own website?” Like many beginners, you have promised yourself to do whatever it takes to get it right.
May be you are just “floundering around” picking-up a little bit of knowledge here and there, but nothing that joined-up-the-dots, and so you cannot make a proper start. Well, if you don’t want to find yourself among the thousands, who continually start over and again and then eventually “give up” it is a must that you start on the right foot.
What you need is to learn how to set-up fundamental building blocks. The best and easier way for you to achieve this, is for someone to actually show you how to do this in a simple, honest and understandable way.
Unfortunately, not everyone has the teaching skills necessary to do this. Some well renowned and so-called “Gurus” who are successful marketers are unfortunately “poor teachers”.
The main advantage of having a good website mentor is to teach you how to make your own website the right way first time around. Of course, you could have a go at it yourself and “dive in head first” like many beginners, the problem with this is that you could easily fall victim to information overload and soon find yourself like many newbies “slowly drowning in it”.
With so much information coming from all directions and no clear structure after a few months and a few “false starts” you could find yourself right back to square one.
A good mentor will guide through the whole process of setting-up your own website step-by-step, whilst allowing you to move from strength to strength. This step by step approach will make things clearer in your mind.
