And The Winner Is…

After a pretty long and drawn out discussion on how to pick a winner I have decided to let this random number generator pick a number. I’ve attached the screenshot as proof that David Culpepper from Mississippi is the winner!

Congratulations David, I’ll email you to verify that the address is correct and I’ll ship the iPod today (if UPS is open) and Monday if not.

Thanks to everyone for participating. Look for a Microsoft Zune contest in the very near future.

Another Way to Find a Niche

Boy have I been busy. A week of training for me, two weeks of training others. Two servers that need to be setup and configured after that, and it won’t stop for another month or so.

Don’t forget about my contest. It ends August 1st, and anyone can win by just linking and submitting a trackback.

Ok, on to niche finding. Another great and easy way to find a niche, and sometimes a profitable micro-niche is with eBay Pulse. eBay PulseeBay Pulse is a section of eBay that shows what people are searching for on a daily basis. The great thing about Pulse is that you can narrow down your search into specific industries. Personally I don’t want a website about a Wii, iPhone, or Xbox 360, and those are the top 3 searches across eBay.

Here is what I found by navigating to a smaller category:

eBay Pulse > Business & Industrial > Office, Printing & Shipping > Trade Show Displays

One of the searches listed in this section was “abex”. I had no idea what “abex” was so I Googled it. Abex is a trade show display creation company, and they have some very expensive setups.

So their keywords would be “trade show displays”. That is a pretty small niche, but you are targeting people with money.

Full trade show displayThey top related keyphrase is “pop up displays” and the CPC is $55.11. Crazy.

Here are some more related keywords, but don’t just take these, go check out Pulse and dig down to find your own niche!
