Free Niche Research: Blues Guitar

Today’s niche research was inspired by Matt McWilliams from Legacy Learning Systems. This week he is holding an amazing contest and giving away prizes, so I thought I’d let you know about it.

On of the courses Matt is promoting is Learn Blues Guitar, so let’s get busy and see what you can do in this niche.

Resources

There are of course forums, where you can learn what guitar players struggle with, and what they love. Here is a very good guitar forum.

But probably the best resource will be a guitar player, and it;s not hard to find a friend who plays guitar and take him out to dinner and talk guitars!

Possible Affiliate Programs
Amazon.com has everything: guitars, books, DVDs, etc.

Don’t forget to search CJ.com & Shareasale.com for affiliate programs as well. Matt’s program is at SAS, and if you sign this week, you’ll get a sign up bonus and the possibility of increased lifetime commission. You can sign up here: Legacy Learning Systems

Monetization Suggestions

Create an information site where you teach everything about guitar playing. It shouldn’t be hard if you go and take a peek at the above guitar forum.

Of course, find some good affiliate programs and create affiliate pages with guitars for sale, guitar music for sale, and even video if you have a friend who plays, or you are willing to learn yourself.

Make sure you build a list and send tips on a regular basis. Your list will love you if you send them good info, and when you suggest something that helps them play better, they’ll trust you and buy.

Free Niche Research: PRK Eye Surgery

Guess what? Today’s niche was again, inspired by something that happened in our family. A couple of weeks ago, I presented research on Road Trips the day after my son arrived home form Canada. Yesterday, he had  PRK Eye Surgery (photorefractive keratectomy), a type of laser eye surgery used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and/or astigmatism. I think it’s an awesome niche, so let’s dig in.

Resources

I would say the best resource for this is a local ophthalmologist: offer him a free listing  on your site, and pick his brains about all there is to know about this surgery (and others, especially lasik )

Another resource are people who went through the procedure, and family members of those who went through the procedure.

Possible Affiliate Programs This is one niche where Amazon.com doesn’t have too much. but you can get creative and still use it (keep reading and you’ll find out how, under the monetization).

Monetization Suggestions

Adsense has very good payouts, but there aren’t a lot of advertisers for the specific key phrases. But, if you expand into lasik surgery, as well as other types of eye procedures, there are plenty of ads, and the payouts are even better (as high as over $10).  Would you like to attack the lasik niche? Use my keyword research service.

There isn’t much affilatae monetization for this niche, but you can be creative and come up with some offers for the people who went through this surgery. Think about it: someone wearing prescription glasses, could never wear sunglasses. So  once they have this corrective surgery, they’ll be looking for some fun, cool, trendy sunglasses. Create an affiliate sunglasses store on your site.

What are other things these people weren’t able to do? Snorkeling, swimming, etc. Come up with an angle to introduce all these things they weren’t able to do before and offer it to them.

You can also have a section for contact lenses: many people are researching this procedure, but are not ready to do it yet, or can’t financially. Offer them an alternative until they can get the surgery.

The best monetization for this niche would be to create a very informative site that attracts potential candidates, and then create a directory of doctors who can perform the surgery. Offer them a listing in your directory for a price.

Here are some domains available to buy today: they are all lower searched for phrases, but very specific.

prkcomplications.com

prkhealing.com

prklasereyesurgeryrecovery.com

prklaservisioncorrection.com
