How To Find a Hungry Crowd of People

Before we can find a hungry crowd of people we have to narrow it down to how exactly are you going to make money online. Are you going to be selling tangible goods such as mp3 players, homemade cookies, baseball cards, or are you going to sell downloadable products such as e-books, or are you more interested in services, such as writer or web designer?  Some of the top markets in which to make money will be in Health, Wealth, and Relationships. But that doesn’t mean that you have to stick with those; there are plenty of other markets with which you can make money online.

3 Main Categories of Making Money Online

1. Selling tangible goods (mp3 players, cd’s, homemade cookies, women’s designer bags)

2. Promoting Downloadable Products ( e-books, wordpress themes, software)

3. Promoting Services (blog writer, web designer, php programmer )

If you don’t know what tangible goods you can be selling, then check out E-bay or Amazon and see what the top selling products are on those websites. For E-bay look what people are searching for by going to pulse.ebay.com .  However those markets can be very hard to break in, so be more specific.  For example the top searches on E-bay are mostly for iphone or ipod, so your niche could be in custom made iphone cases for the Holidays such as Christmas or Halloween that’s a niche you could be selling.

If you are more interested in promoting your e-book or getting into an affiliate program and selling someone else’s e-books, then the best way to see whats selling and what  you should focus on is to check out ClickBank .  Click the general topic you’re interested in and you will see a number of products for affiliate promotion. Use this website to see what direction you should focus whether it be health, weight loss, relationships, you decide what interests you the most.

If you have a knack for services but don’t know where the most money is, then check out the website dummies.com and see what people need help.  Remember that the internet is all about searching for help, learning things that will make our lives easier and fixing problems. See what others want to learn and maybe you have a better way of helping them. Maybe you know some short cuts on how to fix a broken door knob, or repair a water boiler. Take some ideas and make them better.

Once you narrow your search of what you want to do, then you will use some tools to find how many people are actually looking for your niche market, so you can make money.

Google Keyword Tool (A Google tool lets you see how many people are searching for specific keywords each month)

MarketSamurai (Market Samurai is Noble Samurai’s flagship keyword research software package.  Market Samurai enables you to Find and Target Profitable Niches with Pinpoint Accuracy.)

Make sure you focus on relative key words, and long tail keywords you can optimize. Looking for people to buy your product is not easy, but if you do your research and focus on your product then making money online will not be as hard as you think.
