- Finalise Your Profitable Niche
Site Theme.
- Select A Profitable Niche Domain
Name.
Using all that you've learned from
Profitable
Niche Marketing Business you will have completed the
following
essential tasks prior to reaching this point.
- You should have an understanding of the niche marketing
business model.
- You will know how to use contextual links to drive business
to your niche merchant partners and have an understanding of
how to maximise Conversion Rate.
- You will have used Keylisting techniques to develop an
initial Niche Concept.
- Continuing the keylisting process, you will have produced
a Master Keyword List
(MKL) and eventual Site Theme.
- You will have optimised your Site Theme for profit by
refining your MKL to include only the most profitable keywords and
merchant partners.
Assuming that you have completed all of these steps you are
now ready
to consider finalising your profitable niche marketing SITE THEME.
I addition to this task you also need to choose a top quality web host
such as
Hostmonster. This
subject in itself requires further consideration. There are a number of
factors you should consider before you choose a web host and theses are
discussed
here.
Fundamentally you need to ensure that your host provides:
- Good reliability and access Speed.
- High data transfer
- Plenty of disk space storage.
- Excellent technical support.
- FTP, PHP, Perl, CGI-BIN access, SSI, .htaccess telnet, SSH,
crontabs. . .
- SSL (secure server), MySQL, Shopping Cart.
- Email, Autoresponders. Pop3, Mail Forwarding.
- A fully functional control panel.
- Multiple domains, hosting and subdomains.
- The appropriate server.
- The right priced package.
- Flexible payment plans.
Hostmonster
is an excellent solution and meets all of the above criteria and
represents remarkable value for money.
Once you are satisfied that you have found the right hosting package
then you can start. . .
Finalising Your Profitable Niche Market Site Theme.
Your completed MKL will form your SITE THEME. This is the
blueprint for your website so it is vital that you have produced a SITE
THEME that fulfills the necessary requirements. For example
you
should consider the following . . .
- Is the scope of your niche just right. Not to narrow to
lack DEMAND but neither to broad to suffer from over SUPPLY.
- Does your site theme leave any possibility for future
development?
- Thoroughly review your MKL and pay particular attention to
your Keyword Centered Text (KCT). Have you overlooked anything? Does
your Break Away Concept (BAC) suggest a possible broadening of your
current SITE THEME?
In essence your specific SITE THEME is the equivalent of the merchants
sites “Unique Selling Proposition”. A merchant uses
this to target their market in order to directly sell site visitors
goods and/or services. The
Profitable
Niche Marketing Business uses their SITE THEME to better
inform
their CLEVER PITCH to direct visitors to selected merchants,
predominantly through the use of 'contextual' links.
Furthermore you need to maintain consistency throughout your website in
order to rank well with the search engines. If you feel that there is a
very profitable niche development which you should exploit but it does
not fit within your current site theme then DON'T include it. By doing
so you will simply weaken the 'purity' of both themes.
A better solution would be to develop that concept further as a
separate, profitable niche marketing business.
However if you are satisfied that your SITE THEME is complete and
optimised for profit then it's time to press on.
Select A Profitable Niche Marketing Domain Name
Your Site Theme needs to clearly summarise and encapsulate two central
points.
- What is the specific focus of your website.
- What is your unique perspective on this subject.
A good SITE THEME clearly
specifies these points to your visitor and has to be precise. It
needs to be precise for one very good reason. Your SITE THEME is your
'domain name'.
You should certainly resist any temptation to try and be
'smart' or 'creative' with your domain name. Simply use your SITE
THEME and put a marketing angle on it. This way the purpose of your
site is absolutely clear to your visitor right from the off. In
addition by using your NICHE CONCEPT keywords in your domain name
your Search Engine ranking will receive a little boost.
For example, assuming the NICHE CONCEPT of 'leather' and using your
keylisting techniques you might produce a SITE THEME of 'Hand Crafted
Leather'. You should therefore consider a domain name such as. . .
- Hand_crafted_Leather.com
or perhaps HandMadeLeatherCrafts.co.uk
etc.
Remember, you already should know that there is sufficient DEMAND and
that the market does not suffer from over SUPPLY. Therefore your domain
name clearly encapsulates the profitable niche theme of your website
for your visitor and its simple keyword focus appeals to the Search
Engines.
- 'LeatherHandCrafts-on-the-net.com'
or 'hand_crafted_leather_online.com'
The use of '
on-the-net.com'
domain name clearly defines
your site as
being primarily concerned with leather hand crafts available on the
Internet. This is a narrower theme than '
Hand_crafted_Leather.com'
because it is not simply about leather hand crafts but is of more
specific relevance to the Internet. Using
this approach will attract visitors who are already searching
for merchandise available online. Therefore
though DEMAND may be reduced so will SUPPLY and your target market is
already 'shopping online'. A Higher 'CR' may well be easier to achieve.
Remember these are just examples of possible profitable niche marketing
domain names and you will need to ensure that you closely match your
own chosen domain name to your specific SITE THEME and MKL.
Amongst other considerations will be the possible use of abbreviations
and/or dashes etc.
Further consideration is required to select a high quality web host. It
is essential that your web host provides all the functionality that you
require to maintain and run your site. For a fuller discussion on web
hosting see
here.
You will also need to map your domain name to your
MKL for keyword content. However in general you should make sure that
your domain name is. . . .
- Short and concise.
- An accurate representation of both your CONTENT focus and
unique approach.
- Easy to spell. . .
- . . . and easy to remember.
- Unique.
- Functional and simple (not flashy or gimmicky)
Having completed all the steps outlined within
