Just in this past few days I’ve seen some incredible free stuff and tips being given away at several fronts. One of the loudest news (as usual) is the first Going Natural 3.0 video by StomperNet which reveals what it takes to be successful at AdWords. Apart from the video production (as usual), there’s nothing fancy about the AdWords lesson. Don’t get me wrong but I mean it’s no secret you may never heard of. It’s just the old-school principle-based AdWords strategy that you MUST learn by heart because it will keep you safe no matter what drastic changes AdWords will go through in the future, and I am really glad the StomperNet staff has explained the AdWords Triangulation Method in perfect clarity.

Look out for the Microsoft tool that gives a number for commercial intent on any keyword you fill in. Now this is something I’ve never heard of! I was literally jumpin’ off my chair and letting loose a verbal tirade on this tool, but I gotta love Microsoft for it.

Throughout the video you will hear mentions of Brad Fallon’s Corner Stock Baby Gifts. Brad’s baby gift site offers an affiliate program, and has a storefront layout. In my experience with niche marketing, I’ve come to realize not all niches can be treated equally. I’m sure you as a niche marketer would feel the same too, that some niches can be approached using a squeeze page, some niches must be explained with proper personal reviews and perhaps some others convert better with a storefront. If you want to build a storefront for CSBG for yourself quickly and easily, you can create an account with PopShops and use their widgets. Here is a special page by PopShops for CSBG.

PopShops is the largest searchable collection of affiliate products (over 44 million and growing) that spans all of the major networks: Commission Junction, LinkShare, ShareASale, and Performics. Free Basic users can add affiliate products one page at a time using JavaScript. Pro ($5/month) and Enterprise ($30/month) users have the added advantage of creating an unlimited number of keyword-targeted pages quickly using its AutoFeed technology and dynamic searchs. PopShops also offers a WordPress plugin so you can sell products on your blog rather than on a web page.

Most people would do fine with a $5 monthly subscription but I strongly urge you to at least try it out as a free user to see how it works. Read more about PopShops in the FAQ section. This is a website by Bill McRea selling guitars through PopShops, and using PopShop’s AutoFeed to build more pages as new guitars come in.

The 2nd source is not exactly a continuous feed for fresh product content. The Affiliate Blog Builder is a plugin for WordPress whereby you can choose from an immediately updated list of Commission Junction products according to your chosen keyword. Select the products you want to promote and it will be reflected in your blog. You can watch a demo video at the ABB site.

Coming back to Microsoft’s DOCI tool, this thing has definitely changed how I should consider what to sell. Consider the school of thought that people will immediately pay the price for something to ease a pain, so logically you would think about going into a health niche. Surprisingly, without the DOCI tool, I wouldn’t have known that it seems folks are not ready to buy a solution (at least online) to cure insomnia. I’ve searched most possible insomnia-related keywords which don’t yield a good number for commercial intent.

Apparently, what truly sells are items that don’t require much explanation, like gifts, HDTV, digital cameras and the like. Play with the DOCI tool long enough and you’ll get a solid idea what consumerism is all about, certainly food for thought here. What does this say about the “secret of the storefront”?

Next time you are tempted to sell the next ‘bestselling’ ClickBank product, run through the subject matter with the DOCI tool and you may find that numbers may not match positively. By the way, quicky get your free CBSpy membership before Rod Beckwith changes his mind.

Well, hear from you about your opinions whatever you may have about niche marketing.
