One of the biggest problems I see with beginning Internet marketers is their inability to choose a proper niche and the keywords associated with that niche. Most beginners do not even understand the concept of the word niche. Let me give you some examples. Gardening is not a niche; it is an area. How to grow tomatoes would be considered a niche, within the larger gardening area. Dog training is not a niche; that is far too big of an area to compete in. There is too much competition for that term to ever rank well in the search engines with. However, creating a website dedicated to how to train German Shepherd puppies would be considered a niche, and that probably, with some research, would be do-able with respect to being able to compete in that area, and actually getting traffic to the website. Most beginners severely underestimate the size of the Internet. With the vastness of the Internet in play, small niches can result in huge financial rewards. Although the majority of people who are dog owners do not have German Shepherds, there are a significant number of people who do that make that a very easily targeted market. Beginners must understand how to choose the right niche, and select the correct keywords for that niche. One of the biggest areas of frustration with beginning Internet market is a beginner's inability to choose the correct niche and the keywords associated with that niche. If the selection process is wrong, everything else done afterward will be for a lost cause. There is no easier way to get started with Internet marketing and enjoy success than by choosing the correct niche, and being able to research the keywords that are most associated with that niche. Before jumping into an area, the most important question a marketer must ask is, "Can I get traffic to a site about that topic?" One must be able to intelligently answer that question. The skill in making the right decision for that question is the single most important skill that must be learned before moving onto other, more basic matters such as building the site, building a list, etc. Too often beginners make the mistake of "trying to make money" far before they are ready. The old saying, "you have to learn to crawl before you can walk" comes to mind. Beginners will actually speed the process to online success if they take the time to first learn the basics for choosing the right niche.
