Great business ideas might not be based on popular subjects, but a business relating to herpes can be very profitable

I have gone where no self respecting small business ideas advisor should go, and made you a 16 minute video that will show you how easy it could be to make residual income.

Business ideas are plentiful, but to find an idea that has legions of buyers just waiting for you to design and build a website for them is a prospect that I love.

Are you serious about your resume and your career?

Why not get 100 x the power of a CV and put yourself and your career achievements online?

With the world becoming so much smaller, and everyone using the Internet as their primary source of information, the concept of owning a website that is your own name starts to look increasingly better every day.

Many recruiters are already asking for FaceBook passwords to learn more about possible employees before you even get to an interview, and allowing that this is happening, I suggest that you start one massive step ahead of them.

Build yourself a personal website that documents your every achievement from primary school all the way through to your successes last month.

If you keep your content factual and professional you will slowly build up a large personal website that will put you online as THE authority in that field.

Why do a personal resume website?

If you are a project manager, and you not only add you achievements, but you start to add pages with titles like “the responsibilities of a project manager” etc, there will come a time when your keywords are being found thousands of times a month all across the world, and people will start to associate the title of “project manager” with your personal name.

Resumes and high quality CV’s are a given as a very important part of advancing your career, and by adding a website that allows you to embellish on your opinions and achievements gives you the opportunity to outshine any opposition you might encounter.

This online resume could catapult you out of small time local competition for one step advances in your career to massive international leaps in positions.

I produced a short video, look at the ideas and think about the power of this idea.

How to start a catering business was the first one of my how-to videos that I chose to make and share with you.

I recently did some research for a client in relation to catering and liked how there were different opportunities in the catering industry.

I personally still would love to own a small tea garden in the country, and while I would advise my clients not to do that, I plan to try it one day.

With the re-launch of my website building service I decided to make a few videos relating to different niches so that others could see what the potential is in different business niches.

Naturally because I am South African I did put a bit of a local spin on it.

I have been planning a series of how to start a business, and will couple it with videos

Here is the video that I made earlier for you.

Thank you for reading my post on how to start a catering business

 

Online Marketing and actually making a profit is just about knowing what to do and when to do it

Seriously, I know that for a newcomer online it can seem daunting, but all you need to do to make money online is simply position a well designed website in front of people who are searching for your product

I have been repositioning my services over the last few months, so as to train newcomers less and provide them with solutions faster.

What this means is that if you are considering starting a new business or already have a business and want to get clients from a website – I will build you one that really works.

I used to focus more on showing you how to build a web business, and have now written the steps down on a free report for you to read through and apply yourself and then give you the choice to try it yourself or to get me to build you a profitable website.

I found that it is far more practical to pay me to build your initial website, set up correctly for the search engines, and then train you to carry on with the daily running and get to a profitable place faster than if I trained you to do that initial building of your website.

Before I go on typing until your are exhausted - I wrote out a free report laying out all the steps that a website business needs to apply to make very good money online. I will add a link at the end of this post – or you could click this image – or you could click the link below, but naturally I would love it if you read all the way done to the end before you got the report. Your choice

JUMP TO GETTING MY FREE REPORT NOW

While I build well optimised websites all the time, for a beginner it can take months to get it all set up, and by then you are feeling despondent and want to give up your business before you get started. By getting me to build your website fast, you can then get on with marketing the business and not building websites.

The costs are higher in the beginning but at least you actually get to own a business online right away, and don’t spend three months trying to set up a basic website and get bogged down on unimportant things like the graphics etc.

The package of mine that I recommend will more than likely be earning you somewhere between R5000.00 to R 30 000.00 a month ($625.00 to $3750) within 6 months if you keep on adding posts and pages (I show you how) and sharing those socially.

So even at only R5000.00 a month after 6 months you will possibly earn R30 000 in your first year from this new business (or as much as R180 000.00)

Now this business package that I offer costs R14800.00 ($1850.00) but would pay itself back well before your first year is up.

Now the hard way (DIY) would probably cost you 6 months before you give up, and very likely never make you money.

I am not saying this to scare you into buying a website from me ( remember I only take on a maximum of 4 a month – so I do not need to try to hard sell you) but say this from hard experience.

Almost all those people I trained last year, and there were many, have given up trying. I see what happens, they start off with great enthusiasm and get a few training sessions under their belts, and then get stuck, I help and they carry on, and then get stuck – this process carries on for a few months and I start to hear from the students less and less. Sooner or later I realise that I have not heard from them for awhile and go to see their website.

It is very often still sitting on the first three page level and stagnant.

Now a website that is built that far will never generate business and then the website/ business owner declares that this marketing online thing never works.

I really does work, but you need to set up a website correctly to make money.

The steps are not that hard, and a determined person will get through those early days.

So I finally decided to offer the built for you websites in a bigger way, so as to encourage people to rather buy a complete business rather than trying to start from scratch.

I have the free report that I mentioned earlier, and a complete price list all of which I will add to the site as a banner, you can however click here to get a copy of the report.

I also have a page that I wrote awhile ago where you could read more about one of my offers. Start a small Business

Feel free to just email me with your ideas and questions at any time – I will reply to you straight away.

Good luck with your business ideas.

 

I get a lot of inquiries for business ideas

The number of people that are constantly on the lookout for a good business idea is astounding, and now that 2012 has begun – I am getting a surge in visitors.

What I have decided to do is to open my niche website building service to a few people that are serious about starting a successful business.

This website has one constant theme, and that is showing people how they can take almost any business ideas and tweak it via quality niche and keyword research and have a profitable business idea.

However 90% of the work to get a website set up, and promoting your business is about learning the skills to get a perfect website set up so that it actually gets those visitors from Google and the other search engines.

I get it.

I am constantly referring all of you – via the banners here – to go and join the places so that you can learn all the skills necessary to be able to complete with the big webmasters from an SEO point of view.

Most of those websites are very badly built, and even those that look fantastic are rubbish.

It works this way - 

To be placed in the first position on the Google results pages, you need to build your website in  a certain way.

let me compare it to you this way.

 those fancy (and expensive) websites that very highly degree’ d people are building for businesses are all the equivalent of an electric car.

 they look beautiful, but will lose a race to another petrol driven racing car every time.

So, do you want an “electric car” website?

 Or do you want on that wins every time?

I know how, and yesterday, I added a massive banner to this website, and wrote up a page where I will allow 4 people to order complete website packages from me a month.

These websites will be for products that are digital, are in massive demand, and the website will be built correctly and even have the content and social stuff all built it.

You will be getting a race ready racing car – for the price of some mag wheels for your car.

OK, or for the price of  big weekend away for 4 people.

A whole business for that price?

Go here to see what I offer – buy a business today – thanks – or just click on the massive banner on the home page.

Please share this with others that you might know about who are looking for a new business in 2012.

 

While watching an online webinar the term “business Ideas for Beginners” was discussed.

This got me thinking about you guys and how the millions of people that are searching out there every day for new business ideas and are beginners at it, are not getting the best advice.

Firstly I am presuming the term beginners relates to first time business owners.

You probably have noticed that I do a lot of training and website building for new business owners, especially those that are wanting to have an online presence. If you have not noticed that – then I encourage you to0 please read a lot of this websites content, as I adopt a blunt and straight forward style in how I help people.

(Like lazy and stupid people need not apply – and by stupid, I mean those who close their minds to the latest ways to develop a business and are dogmatic in their ideas)

My Very first bit of advice to to tell you to go and get yourself a copy of this report of mine – if you are already at the lets-do-a-business-plan stage.

However I wanted to point out something completely different here today about complete beginner business people.

You see, It needs to be said that someone who is brand new to becoming a business owner has a list of questions and fears that while they are real, are nowhere near what I think about as far as starting up a new business goes.

What I am trying to say – clearly in a confusing way – sorry – is that someone who is a complete beginner, will be worried about things that are in fact not really scary, and do not feature at all on the potential disaster list that an experienced business owner thinks about.

Someone who has been there already will not stress on failure fears – for example- as they will be experienced already in what steps are needed to get a new venture running.

They would have learned how much time a project takes, how much cash flow reserves they need, how well targeted their idea was etc.

This level of experience makes it difficult for those of us, and I include myself here, to understand why a person who is thinking about starting a small business does not just do it. Today!

However I understand, as I took about 6 years to get the courage to step from a commission only income, to my own business the first time, and after that could not understand what I was waiting for.

Business ideas for beginners might seem like an easy thing to suggest to people, but I realised recently that it is very heavily affected by at least 20 different factors.

Two or three of my paying clients have been spinning around and not focusing on their best ideas, for whatever reasons, and I was getting very frustrated, until I actually thought about what was affecting them.

The reality was obvious, I have massive experience online as far as building targeted websites go, and therefore I see how that sort of business is the best version for me. BUT, and rightly so, my trainees, had different needs and different long term goals and were therefore willing to do their businesses in a different way.

More importantly I realised that because the Internet as far as being a business vehicle goes, is still very confusing to newcomers and cannot see how 30 000 people can find their website, and generate a $10 000 a month income from that.

I get it.

Listening to the questions being asked at the webinar I was attending made me realise that I need to explain to my clients in much greater detail how real Internet marketing works.

If you want to get a shortcut explanation, click on the big banner at the top of this website that says FREE, and you will get sent to a brilliant trainer and get the best explanation.

I have managed to write over 600 words already and managed to completely confuse myself, so if I have not given you even the vaguest help with the title of this post, I apologise

Quite simply – Business ideas for beginners are the same as any others business ideas, but they are looked at differently by the beginner and an experienced business person.

Wow! That was all I wanted to come here and say And stress to a beginner that they need not fear anything if they have done their research correctly. Click on the image to be taken to my report on the pre planning that you need to do.

Best of luck with your beginner business idea.

 

Getting a perfect result from searching for business ideas is simply a process of elimination

I could find you a dozen very profitable business ideas – that was carefully researched in one day, but remember that I do research for clients almost on a daily basis, so you need to follow a few rules to be certain that your results are correct and safe to work with.

Finding some perfect business ideas is simply the process of following a few easy to do steps and analyzing those results to know which business ideas are very good and which business ideas are a little weak

You need to decide as to what sort of business idea you are looking for before you even begin

This is vital to the length of time you spend in doing your research, as you would not need to spend a week doing research for a website that you plan to build up as another income stream for your business portfolio, but you will need to do extensive research into a business idea that you are going to invest large sums of money into.

How to get a lot more detail on this topic

This post is only going to give you a guideline on what you should do to find your best business ideas, and I highly suggest that you get a copy of my $5 report that details out a lot of these research methods – it is titled before you do your business plan – click that link to go and see what it entails, or click on the image.

The real research is dependent upon the field of business that you would like to pursue, as some online research methods do not work with more obscure businesses. A great example of this is engineering related businesses, for example doing the analysis of core samples related to mining will not show a lot of activity online, and therefore you would need to do different types of research offline.

Start by choosing you business niche

I say this often, but a successful business does this thing well…

Find out what people want and then sell it to them

This step is not vitally important, but it will help you structure your research better and not have you get to a point where you have to start all over again from the very beginning.

What I normally tell people to do is to simply write down a short list of your skills, and then another short list of the things you are really passionate about.

Then the trick is to combine a skill you have with a product you are passionate about, and use that as a starting point for finding the perfect business idea.

However the item you are passionate about is more than likely your best bet, as skills can be easily acquired – if you really insist upon starting a new business venture in a field that you love but have no experience in. Do not let that put you off.

Naturally if you choose something medical as your passion, you are not going to become a Doctor in a few weeks, but if that is what you really want to do, then you would choose a business idea in that field, or closely related, and while you are getting a Doctors degree you can build and run your business anyway. Personally I would hate to try that combination – as I suspect that the studying hours will be a lot and force your business to really put a strain on your time, but I digress.

So You choose a niche topic

In fact I suggest that you start off with two or three and research all three to get a better idea as to which one is far stronger than the other business ideas.

 Let me show you a quick made up list of business interests that you would have put onto your list.

Horses – breeding – riding school – training – horse store (products)

Green products – electric cars – solar electricity – recycling

Fashion – retail – clothing – clothing design – organic fashion products

So now you would have a base to use as a starting off point fro the research into what you would like to own as a business – naturally if there is potential for that idea or product or service.

So now you would take this list and use it in the next step – keyword research. Do not take this step lightly.

The most important step to seeing if your business ideas will be viable

I am not going to mince this comment – THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP!

LOL – I didn’t mean to shout, but this step – the keyword research will give you an almost 100% success rate as to the potential and viability of your business idea.

If you do this step carefully and when you are done there is very likely going to be only two or three possibilities that will come out of the original list that you submitted – or started above, to be able to use as a real business idea.

I am not going to explain to you here how to do keyword research, as I have a lot of other posts on this website that does exactly that, and I even have a free keyword tool that you can get if you do not have it yet – see the banners on the side of the website.

I will now go away and do a quick bit of keyword research into that list above and come back to show you some potential markets that might be worth pursuing.

My Initial results from the keyword research

 Business ideas – The horses niche

This niche would always be area specific, as the ownership of horses and their upkeep is a very expensive thing to do, and therefore you need to take that into account.

But let us presume that you do have some experience in the training of, or breeding of horses, and that part of your business is not an issue, it is more about finding out the potential size of the market.

Now I am south African, and am fairly aware of the strength and size of this industry. I know that because this horse business is small and “clicky” here that you need to take that aspect of the idea heavily into consideration. So if you wanted to pursue something relating to horses, you would need to be certain that there is “new inquiries” all the time.

Here is a pic of the initial horse keywords. the results on the right hand side relate to South africa.

Now if you look – only 58 people a month in South Africa look up the exact keyword “horse training” this is a fairly low number, but if your website, when you have built it correctly, ranks for this keyword, and 150 other related keywords – you will get traffic.

The Broad search results for the keyword “horse training” is 1300, so a well developed, and correctly done website, with all the word-press, seo, social stuff etc built in – should get that many visitors a month.

Now as a horse trainier, it is a service, and you would be getting clients that are repeat payers, so you could consider this business keyword.

However with this example, you need to do a lot more of those “before you do your business plan” research methods to see that your location etc is all within the best parameters for that business idea.

Comment here – Multiple business streams

I am a very firm believer in having multiple business streams, or add on, and even up sells. The – do you want fries with that sir? – concept always works very well, as someone who has already made the decision to buy something will happily add more items if they are available.

So back to the horse training example, it could be that you also write up a very detailed training product and sell that online, via kindle, or its own website. This extra source of income will naturally be 100% gravy.

Then you add the horse products store to your business, and find those specialist items, that are not available at your local opposition. 

Finally you take that store mobile and attend all the horse events and build up a client base from those regular events where you will be exposed to the horse community all the time.

Eventually you build the biggest horse specialty events and track stadium ever seen in the world and stage massive international events. (OK, I am just joking here, you would need to be an exceeding ambitious person to want to take your business to that level)

Next example – business idea – Green products

Here is the picture of my very first look at the keywords

You will see that solar power immediately shows itself to be potentially strong, while recycling does get a lot of searches my initial knee jerk reaction is that the recycling searches are not going to be to buy a product, but rather for information.

This sort of thinking is bad, and if I was researching properly for myself, I would definitely look into that one properly.

Here is a better look at the solar power results.

Please note this, firstly I am not doing long explanations here about keyword research, so I should just point out that these search results are “exact” and not broad, which is always a far smaller version of what your overall potential is as a website owner, if you have built it correctly.

Secondly I am not doing this very thoroughly, as I am just trying to give you an overall idea as to the traffic potential for at idea, or item. Online searches will always give you a very good idea as to the strengths and weaknesses of specific keywords (read items here) so please remember that when doing your own research.

So taking this ideas from a South African point of view, (and remember that wherever you are in the world, you would just adjust your local search results to help you see the potential for that area) you have a potential of more or less 3000 possible inquiries a month to your website.

It would then be how you handle those inquiries that make a lot of difference to your profitability – but that is marketing, and a whole different topic.

Final Business example from my list above. – Fashion

Here are the pics

I then chose one at random – bags – and did the search with the exact button off, and set it to broad, plus I set the search results for everything and not results closely related to my inquiries.

 this was the result…

Can you see that this is a searched for item that has tremendous potential, as you can see that the numbers are extremely high.

I would personally start my own factory and by using these keyword results above – I would build a range of bags that are driven by pure supply and demand.

This access to the searched for keywords is so powerful, that if you build a website, and did everything in your power to make that website get to the top of as many of these keywords as possible, you will become extremely busy over time.

This volume of searches are very high, and naturally it will not have a very high conversion rate into sales, but at 0.5 % of 200 000 visitors a month – you would be selling 1000 bags a month just from your website, and you would still be getting the benefit of the keyword knowledge to stock your retail store with items that you know are in demand.

Remember that with such high volumes of searches going on you could easily create a brand name, and create scarcity for that brand and have the potential to be the next international star/designer. However to achieve this you would definitely need to have your website set up to the latest Google Panda specs, with all the mobile, social, content and web 2.0 systems carefully knitted into your overall marketing strategy. (want to know how to do that? – use the contact me page and we can talk)

Conclusion

My bad – I see that I have not given you a lot of step by step points to go and use to apply the tricks to getting a great new business idea found.

I see that I have gone into a bit of detail regarding only the very first step, and apologise for this.

It does tell you though that to do your research properly is something that takes a bit of effort, but will be well worth it when you are done because you would have covered all the different ways to check the viability of the business ideas that you would like to look into.

I appreciate the time you took to read this post on your business ideas and where to start

I am going to show you some stats that you can use to inspire your small business ideas for 2012

Used correctly my tips will get your business online in 2012 to a massive new level.

Firstly I should confess that I am going to be shown in a bad light, as I tell you to do fresh posts that are original and of a high standard at least once a week, and as you will see I do not practice what I preach… BUT … ( see more below )

For your website to be well placed by the search engines you need to do three things properly.

 

 

One – You MUST work with keywords, I will show you more soon

Two – You must post quality content with occasional videos and include tags and pictures

Three – You must do this preferably every third day on average, sometimes more often, and sometimes you can leave an occasional week’s gap.

Getting great business ideas for 2012, or taking your existing business and getting it to become the number one website in your niche is not only possible, but if you listen to what I say it is very likely.

Look at the image above, it is a keyword that I have targeted, and if you search images (the results will differ from place to place) you should see some of my websites there.

My point is that as long as you are aware of keywords that are being looked for online, and you apply simple steps to get that keyword solidly set up on your website, you will get the traffic from the people that are searching for that item – or keyword.

Why I am going to be  embarrassed

Back in January 2012, I looked at this website of mine that is all about crafting and checked what keywords I was ranking for, and got a shock.

I admit that I had been busy for most of last year developing new websites for clients, but had not taken any time to look at this website carefully.

I found that I had been targeting “flea markets and Flea marketing” instead of doing correct keyword research.

I then went and did a bit of keyword research and decided to target keywords that had the word “craft” in them.

So I did that, but I did not do it very often, and remember my advice above?  - post every third day?!

So if I had taken my own advice I would have had at least  100 new keyword related posts on my website.

The truth is…

• I posted 4 times in November
• Once on June
• 4 times in April
• Twice in March
• And Once in February.

A grand total of  12 posts the entire year, and remember that is after I noticed that I had not been doing any real work on the website for over a year.

 

Now look at this.

And while you do that remember that I changed my keyword focus back in early February.

This image shows you the number of keywords that I am on in the search engine results pages, from February until today.

Can you see the climb that my website has received once I started to use actual keywords that are being searched for online?

Now I am getting a lot of organic visitors that are coming to my website because I answer what they were looking for when they started to search.

Good for me, and them.

How this will affect your 2012 business ideas projections?

Well as you can see I wrote a few pages and 12 posts to my website, and YES I also did correct social marketing, and tags etc, but I was supposed to have done 100 posts, and yet I am still getting over 140 of my posts and keywords ranked on Google.

Do you realise what I am trying to tell you in a round about way?

If you do the work better than I have done on this website, you will easily succeed, as I have succeeded with such a pathetic effort.

I could be over 10 x bigger on this website had I spent the extra effort on keeping it up to date, and constantly adding quality keyword related posts and items of interest.

TEN TIME BIGGER would be 1200 people a day finding my website or 36000 potential clients.

I Finally am getting to the point relating to your own business ideas for 2012

If you follow a few simple steps and apply then on a regular basis, you can start to get business within days, and it will grow and grow throughout the year and it will get to the point where your website has become an authority website in your chosen niche.

It does not matter if you have never done this at all, or if you have a website that has been collecting dust for three years, all it takes is that carefully worked out step by step system – you will definitely have a fantastic 2012.

Good luck with it.

Do you need to ask me anything?

I understand that I have written a weird and confusing post here, and all I wanted to do was inspire you, so if you want to ask me anything, go to my contact page and send me your questions.

If you enjoyed what I have written here, please share it via your social sites like twitter and face-book, we all need to get into the habit of giving that affirmation to a post or page when we see one we liked as 2012 is going to be the year when those “likes” and “plus ones” are going to make a big difference to your websites ranking. So please help me here. 

Thank you, and thank you for reading my small business ideas fro 2012 inspiration post.

The need to try to make fast money online has become a topic that is contraversial

There are so many different methods and courses that offer people fast ways to make money online that I decided to make this video for you.

I have written a detailed post below this one on this website that will give you more information, but I decided today to make this video for you to try to show you that there are easy ways to get started with making money by just knowing which ways work and which ones will either need more skills or more time to mature before they start to make you an income online.

Before you watch the video I want to point out that making money online is still a business and does require actual work, so if you are one of those people that think there is a magic button that will turn your computer into an ATM, then you probably should not watch this, but if you are prepared to do some work – then you are in the right place.

My apologies for talking so fast, as I just had so much to say and didn’t want to keep you watching for an hour LOL!

Please watch the video

Finding the best Small Business Ideas for 2012 – follow these tips

It does not really matter if you already have an existing small business, or you are hunting for a new business idea for 2012, but if you follow these tips that I give you here you should be able to pinpoint which are the hottest small business ideas for 2012

Doing the correct research is the key to having a successful product or to being able to redirect your business into 2012 so that you are getting your product or service out there in front of the strongest markets.

I have written a report that details these research methods out in more detail, and will add the link that you can use to go and get a copy of the report if you are so inclined, but you might find that I have outlined the basics here in this post in enough detail.

Here are the steps that you need to apply to ensure that your small business ideas for 2012 will make you money

These steps will apply to an existing business and equally fit into your search for a new business idea. Remember that some of these research methods would be more effective for some ideas, while other of my suggested methods would require that you do deeper research into that specific method.

Step One – Choose you general niche  for your small business idea.

Almost all of the suggest steps that I show you here would be applicable to choosing a niche first as a general search or research project. If you are wanting to be certain that the niche that you are delving into for your business has enough interest or rather enough people searching for that item or service you should do the steps twice, once to check a few possible niches and then a second time to look into sub sections in that chosen niche.

To explain better, lets say that you wanted to start up a small shop in a local shopping center.

You would use my methods to get a list of the best (or the most examples) stores in the shopping centres that you use for your research. Then you would do my steps to research which of those shops or store products are getting the most promotion and exposure. Then you would use online tools to see what levels of inquiry are being done for those specific items.

This should get your list down from a broad based variety to a small list that has the most potential.

To give you an example here, I have just finished reading my local Sunday newspaper, and it struck me that the was an extraordinarily high level of adverts for watches. Now normally throughout the year there are not nearly as many adverts for watches, but it is Christmas time and gifts are obviously being pushed right now.

BUT this leads me to wonder why – if the market has such a strong gift potential during gift season – why is it not strongly marketed during the other 11 months of the year. There is a strong possibility that a specialist website or store for watches might not be that competitive during the other months, and could be a great business idea.

Naturally I would go and apply all my own steps to check those trends during the rest of the year.

So, to recap, do this system twice if you do not yet have a niche that you are wanting to start up your 2012 small business idea in. First to check the niche and then to delve deeper.

Step two – Take the niche that you want to do business in, and dig deeper.

Here you would have a general niche, like weight loss, or hair products/hair care, landscaping, craft or hand made gifts etc. Use the next steps to get a better idea of the potential of your market.

Step three –  Start by using the free Google keyword research tool

This is the most important step by far. In fact I would go as far as saying that if you only used this step, your business idea for 2012 would have the strongest chance of success.

You need to search for the free Google keyword tool and use that to search for your products and ideas in fine detail. I have written a page on using this tool and you can go and read that here – Small business ideas for 2012 using the keyword tool

Step Four –  Use trending website 

By seeing what the hot trends are – in some cases – your products could be slightly swung into a different direction if necessary.

Step Five – Use twitter

These days Twitter is almost as powerful as the strongest search engines and by searching twitter for information you can see the topics and items that are getting the maximum exposure and take advantage of that information

Step Six – Go to Spyfu and check the strength of your market

Spyfu is a very powerful website and can give you a lot of details regarding the power of your chosen niche.

You can see how much people are prepared to pay fro advertising and how many different companies are competing in that market.

Please do not think that if there is a lot of competition that this is a bad thing, and that you must go elsewhere, as the more competition there is the better your chances are to make money.

This level of competition shows that there is money to be made there.

Step Seven – Your TV

I know that you might be shaking your head here, but for certain niches and products you can get very valuable information from watching what appears on your tv.

In fact it would pay you to make notes regarding the “free” tv and “paid” tv differences and see where the money is.

Step Eight – News, newspapers, magazines and other print media.

Remember that if people are paying money to print newspapers and pay for advertising in those publications – then there is definitely a market for that item.

The trick here is to use the keyword tool, and find out how to target a tighter and more searched for niche for those potentially profitable products.

Another observation here is that very often, those guys who are paying so much money to advertise their products and often the well established guys, and they are relying on their branding to bring them business (and it does in a big way) but have no clue as to what changes are taking place under their noses online as far as targeting exact niches go.

Take advantage of this fact

Step Nine – Shopping centers

Now I referred to this in the beginning of this post, and it can be very powerful as far as seeing what people are buying goes.

Sit on your bum at a busy mall and watch what goes on.

You will be surprised what you can pick up when you start to look with a marketing viewpoint and not just a normal shopping frame of mind.

Step Ten – Yellow pages

Yes I know that this is old school, and is dying fast, but remember that it still has a lot of “keywords” that you can search for and add back into the Googler keyword tool and see where the real numbers are going.

In fact any website that is a form of “classified” directory like bid-or-buy can give you a very clear idea as to what is popular and worth chasing.

Step eleven two fifteen – those are in my report

While the remaining steps are helpful I have covered the most important ones here above.

You are welcome to go and buy a copy of my report that details all this in finer detail

Finally while looking for the best small business ideas for 2012 will help you get an idea as to where your business plans can get to in 2012, you need more.

I have found out from experience that just having a good business ideas is great but useless if you do not get your products out there in front of the buyers searching for your service or product.

So while I used to train people on how to set up a website cheaply and start to get targeted clients long before any offline investment will start to show a profit, I am fully booked as far as training one-on-one goes. However I have a place where you can get excellent training on how to do correct website building and how to get tons of targeted clients to your business – go here to start to learn more. You will need to see my “how to make money online” video first.

You will not regret going down this path – I promise.

Small business opportunities all start with a great idea, but how you apply it makes all the difference.

Using the internet as a tool to make money or to get better visibility for your business is a very good thing to do.

Now I have been doing this full time online marketing thing for over three years now and have gained a massive amount of experience.

This seriously tongue-in-cheek quick post here is just to remind you of one of the most basic needs that you need to apply as an internet marketer – or if you prefer to call yourself website owner.

One of the most important things that you need to do as a website owner is to keep supplying very high quality fresh content almost daily to your important websites. This has become even more important recently as Google has been doing a few very big “algorithm” changes in an effort to keep supplying the people that use the Google search tool with the most relevant content.

So why do I say “Do as I say – Not as I do”?

I have been so busy building websites for clienst and doing contracted services to client websites that I have not been doing that exact and very vital part to any of my websites.

As an internet marketer I should be adding fresh original content to all my websites at least every third or fourth day.

There are other things that you should be doing all the time to your websites too – like social marketing and getting back links that are of value to your website – BUT the adding of quality fresh content is so important that you will be very stupid if you fell behind in this aspect.
