Hi everyone,

Just wanted to drop in a quick update about my $200 per day online challenge!

So far things are going well. As I mentioned previously, I’ve been going through PiePieGirl’s “One Week Marketing” to see if I can make $200 per day online with Squidoo.

I’m still on day 1 but already super excited about where this is going! PotPieGirl definitely seems to know her stuff when it comes to Squidoo as there’s tons of tips and tricks already I’m excited to use to make $200 per day online this month.

So, I was getting ready to start making some Squidoo lenses for some affiliate products and then realized… wait a minute… what am I actually gonna sell… and what keywords am I going to use??

It’s one thing to be all fired up about a product… but if everyone and their mom is competing for the ‘selling’ keywords for it, you’re going to have a real hard time trying to get ranked in Google search!

So at this point, I’m evaluating a few options (recommended as part of “One Week Marketing“) for doing market/niche/keyword research for my $200 per day online challenge.

One of them is the Micro Niche Finder. Two things stand out to me about Micro Niche Finder:

1. You can use it to find which keywords should be avoided due to high competition and which you should go after since they’re lower competition
2. Their commercial intent tools look helpful to figure out if people are even buying things related to this keyword. This has been a big problem for me in the past! I’ve gotten all excited about a low competition keyword – only to find it was low competition because no one’s buying anything!

I’ve definitely got a little more research to do before I commit to anything – but once I do, things will definitely pick up as I get rolling cranking out some Squidoo lenses! I’m super excited to actually get some lenses out there & ranked in Google search results!

As today’s question for part of my $200 per day online challenge, how do you do your niche keyword research? Do you use a special tool or just your brain? Tell me what you think below!
