Hi There
Here’s my hints & tips about “HOW TO” do research properly
I hope now you are starting to see that by following a ‘blueprint’ of step by step checks and balances you can start to arrive nearer and nearer to establishing your goals
Research Part I – TOP Online Research Tools
Search activity what’s it like in your proposed market & what are people searching for, solutions and answers to what? What words or phrases do people type in to get the results they require? – Dig about a bit, play the detective.
In Google ideally you’re looking for 1500 –2000 searches a day in your market
Don’t panic if it falls short of this kind of numbers but just tread with caution.
Build a keyword list, which can certainly be useful for targeting and writing articles and content especially long tail keywords as well.
Hey “What’s a keyword list & what are long tail keywords?” don’t panic – next week’s broadcast will reveal all you need – don’t miss out, I’ll remind you nearer the time that its coming.
Use Word tracker, personally I use the free one https://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/

Tip:
Google sometimes move the link around for its keyword tool, so if its disappeared just search in Google. You may find you have to sign up for a Google adwords account but don’t panic its easy to do and then give you access – its a pain I know, but its just the way it is!
Check out forums
Dig about a bit, are there questions being asked that you & your product could answer. Are there plenty of forums that are active with big memberships?
Top Tip – this suggests an active niche.
Build your authority status on the forum by commenting and being involved – get your name ‘in bedded’ in the niche-be recognised.
Search Online Newsletters
Think laterally are there online and possibly offline newsletters with again active memberships? If yes there could well be the opportunity to take out advertising or offer a copy of your product as a free review copy or even a joint venture with the newsletter publisher. Don’t discount all the possible marketing opportunities
Likewise if you believe yourself to be a bit of an ‘expert’ offer to write the odd article (providing a link to your blog, website in the by-line)
Competition in Google Adwords
Check out how many ads there are for your main keywords. Hopefully there should be a healthy amount – if only one or two again tread with caution.
Check out some of the ads see what products are being offered, at what price and the quality of information being offered
