“There are a lot of niches out there where you might only be able to find a total of a couple hundred searches a day.”
Is that mean that we should look for more than 100 searches per day? In the internetmarketersbootcamp you suggest 50 searches per day, is that mean that the niche wont profitable if only contain under 100 searches per day?
Lots of keywords with 100 searches per day will have more than 50.000 competition in qoute.
I was referring to TOTAL SEARCHES - Not a number of searches for one keyword.
Here is an example. The other day we got an email from a member of the bootcamp that asked us to give our thoughts on a particular niche. The keywords that the person presented us had the following stats…or real close anyway
number of keywords = 10
Total searches of all keywords combined = 150
The bad part is, I looked around a little too on the niche and couldn’t find a whole lot more for keywords.
So, if the person could achieve the #1 ranking for every keyword that they were targeting they could possibly get 150 visitors a day and that is on the high end. Even if you are in the #1 spot, you still won’t get every person that searches for the keyword, right?
Unless, the offer that you present your visitors is going to convert extremely high, you are not going to make much money with those kind of numbers.
The point is, some niches are great if you are looking for a hobby while others are great for profit.
Hi Jeremy,
The replies are great. The problem though I have to strain my eyes to read them. It could be my screen? It appears total lacking in contrast like it is a page of writing on paper covered by a thick transparent plastic.
I don’t normally moan like this!
Thank you.
The normal really - meaning the same thing that you read everywhere
more than 50 searches a day or more than 100 searches a day - whichever of those numbers you are more comfortable with.
Here’s the thing and we will be going over this more in depth, but all of the keyword tools lie to you They all admit that they are making estimates as to what the volume of searches is an estimate.
Sorry that I am not getting this, but are you saying EACH keyword or phrase I choose for my niche should be getting roughly 50-100 searches per day or are you saying ALL of the keywords or phrases COMBINED should be getting AT LEAST that many?
Each one of the keywords should be the number YOU are comfortable with….
For me that number is normally somewhere between 50 and 100 searches per day.
The point I was trying to make in this post though is that some people will jump into a niche that they are able to gather 10 keywords total for and the combined sum of all the keywords is 50 or 100 searches a day. There isn’t much chance of getting sustainable traffic with those types of numbers.
You want to be involved in a niche where there is plenty of traffic flowing which is why sometimes the best niche isn’t always the one that you are passionate about.
In the next lesson which will be Monday, we are going to go over different kinds of keywords and why some of them are good and some of them are bad as well as how different kinds of keywords reflect directly on the amount of sales you will get.
Funny, when I realized I wanted to leave a comment, turns out the two issues I was going to bring up were right at the top of the comments list.
1. Re: traffic - I’ve followed the thread (mostly - see #2) but I may need a clearer guideline than ‘what I am comfortable with’ - I’m new at this, have no idea of the issues involved, so hence do not have any insight into the criteria used to judge how much I’m comfortable with.
2. More imporant than anything is that I am really struggling to read the text here. Pardon my bluntness, but don’t you guys know how hard it is to read light text on dark background, and then worse, to have these contrasting dark and light boxes? You’re going against the grain of what is recommended for readability, and my eyes are suffering. Can you PLEASE do something about this?

Hi Jeremy…
I quoted this from the above statement:
“There are a lot of niches out there where you might only be able to find a total of a couple hundred searches a day.”
Is that mean that we should look for more than 100 searches per day? In the internetmarketersbootcamp you suggest 50 searches per day, is that mean that the niche wont profitable if only contain under 100 searches per day?
Lots of keywords with 100 searches per day will have more than 50.000 competition in qoute.
What do you suggest about this?
Thank you

Hi Jeremy,
Thank you for the reply..
I understand now. So, what is the minimum numbers of searches for one day?
Thank you

Jeremy..
I agree with you that the keyword tool is lie :-). Well, I guess I will wait for tomorrow content so I could learn about this more deeply.
Thank you so much for the support
You are great guys

Kat - In day 3 I talk about traffic for keywords etc…So, that will become more clear.
As far as the color scheme, we will try to come up with something else that makes it more easy to read for you.
