Build A Niche Store

Affiliate Profile: Impulsive Obsessive Compulsive with ADD

Posted by admin

I’m an impulsive obsessive compulsive with ADD type personality. That means I get an idea in my head and jump on it. Immediately. Then I obsess over it for a period of time. Its all i think about. It’s all I do. Then all of a sudden, I get bored or get another idea and jump on it. This is a very bad, bad combination if you want to be an affiliate marketer. Here’s how I cope with my personal tendency to rush into and out of niche hair brain ideas.

• Realize niche research is niche research. You don’t need to buy a domain. You don’t need to setup a store or a blog. You simply need to find out what the market is like for the niche and some basic information on the subject.
• Don’t do what’s been done. Most of the obvious niche ideas that seem like a great opportunity usually were at one point. But, the problem is saturation. An obvious niche is generally obvious for others, chances are you are not going to be the first and only person working a niche. To make money, you need to be different.
• Plan out your business. You need to complete your research and analyze your competition before you ever invest any time in content creation or buying a domain name. You need to get a list of possible link partners, forums, do-follow blogs related to your content.
• Write, write and write some more. Before you ever buy your domain name and setup hosting, write your content. Always, always write your content first. You should have at minimum 10 400 word articles ready to go before you buy the domain name. Also, you should have your store page content written before that page goes live. Never, never launch a store page that doesn’t have at least 250 words of unique content.

That’s basically it. I find my successful niche markets make it through this process and are worth the domain and hosting expense.

The niche ideas that don’t make it through the process are the ones that would have likely failed anyway. If I’m not interested enough to generate good content, people sure will not be interested enough to visit the site.

This process saves me frustration, money and time. It also helps me focus on seeing a niche store through from concept to completion.
