iPod + TV = Profits for me

Sunday morning I was watching TV prior to the F1 GP at Valencia and “playing around” with my iPod (if it were an iPad Ed Dale would have wet himself with joy). For some reason I started to look at a particular keyword related to a market I’m already in and it hadn’t shown up on any keyword research I’d look at before.

I delved into it a bit using the Google keyword tool – Market Samurai isn’t (yet) available on the iPod/iPhone/iPad – and Google Insights using the Google Trends method first exposed in the 30 Day Challenge of a few years ago.

I was stunned to see the amount of traffic and competition – basically nobody is targeting it. See the screenshot from Market Samurai (which I just did on my PC):

Don’t believe anyone who tells you all the good niches are gone. Now, I don’t expect this to convert massively, but it should convert something. And the average order size is €276, so that multiplied out over the year is going to add a few K to the bottom line, thank you very much.

At the time I wrote some content (on my iPod) and ranked in the top 10, although it has dropped back to the third page now. So yesterday I bought to new domains relating to the top and bottom listed keyword phrases above. I’m now ranking at #5 for the bottom result – 595 searches per day and 7,750 competition, yet a SEOV of $252.40!!!

See how profitable sport in TV can be?

By the way the 30 Day Challenge has been renamed The Challenge – it starts today, takes less time each day but more days to complete. Check it out to learn more cool internet marketing stuff.
