Niche Inspector Review

I've been using a product called Niche Inspector for the past while. It has been out for the past month or so, but it hasn't really been promoted much by many of the big names because it was made by a less known marketer, Myleena Phan. I wanted to thoroughly test it and compare it to other tools before mentioning it on this blog or to my list.

I want to start by saying that Niche Inspector is a useful tool that helps you find niches that might be profitable for you. What do I mean by "might be profitable?" I mean that it helps you figure out which niches are searched more without having much competition in the major search engines. You can also look up the number of Adwords ads, the average price per click, and much more.

All of this is very useful regardless if you're looking to start an Adsense site or any other type of site out there. It can not only help you find profitable niches, but it can also help reduce your costs in Adwords (and help your campaigns) by finding terms that are searched a lot but don't already have many ads.

The filtering options are great -- you can specify for it to filter out whatever you want and easily modify it to your specifications. It's also easy to get lists of keywords easily, export or input keywords, save projects, etc.

You simply enter in a keyword that you want it to search for (or a list), and it will find other relevant keywords along with the results of the number of searches done, the results in the major search engines, ads shown, ppc price, etc. You can also specify how you want it to give results for the keywords (for instance, you can get results for keyword phrases in quotes or not in quotes -- many other keyword tools don't give you all those options).

It also has an interesting "brainstorming" feature where you don't even need to enter in any keyword for it to search. It will randomly start finding "random" niches for you, and you can filter out the results in the same way. A very nifty feature if you don't know what basic niche you want to start with.

On top of that, there is one thing that I absolutely LOVE about Niche Inspector -- it's very easy to use. In fact, it's so user-friendly that even a complete newcomer should be able to master this within a few seconds. I've never seen a tool like this that was this easy.

There are a few other similar tools out there, but I either found them lacking a few features, too hard to use for most people, or just way too expensive when compared to Niche Inspector. In fact, there are even a few tools that will give you basic results like a list of keywords with Google search results, but they aren't even close to comparable to this.

So to sum it up, I loved Niche Inspector and would highly recommend it to people looking for profitable niches that are easier to get ranked in the search engines for. If you know me (or are on my mailing list), you know that I rarely recommend or review many tools simply because I only recommend the best. If you use it, take action, and start plugging out a few websites, I'm sure you'll be earning some extra money in no time.

When a guru recommends something way ahead of time...

When an internet marketing guru, or anyone that runs a mailing list you're subscribed to, recommends a product a week ahead of time before the actual launch, you should be careful. Sure, some of them get to check out the product ahead of time, but many people just glance it over (some don't even do that) and shoot it off to their lists for a quick buck.

The advantage to them is that they can be the first to recommend it to you. The disadvantage to you is that you don't know how well the product is viewed in the eyes of everyday people testing it out, as it's too early to get real reviews on it.

I take a different approach to writing reviews. I review things thoroughly before I even think of recommending them -- my reputation is one the line and I don't want to recommend a crappy product just for a quick buck. That's precisely why you don't see me promoting many other products out there.

But after saying this, I want to say that I have a few great upcoming reviews on products that I now personally use and love. They might have been out for a month or two, but they passed my testing! Ironically, they're also not the most expensive products out there with huge commissions -- they're cheap alternatives that work great! Stay tuned!

1and1 Hosting -- Practically Free Money

There's literally a great opportunity to get practically free money and bonuses right now at 1and1 hosting. They're not only offering 25% off their hosting packages, but they're also throwing in a ton of free bonuses like Adwords, MSN, and other PPC credits going up to several hundred dollars in credits in total for free!

On top of that, you can get a ton of great software shipped to you only for the cost of shipping and handling (under $7 I believe total -- not per software piece). They're even giving away the newest version of Adobe Golive, an awesome website editor that normally costs several hundred dollars.

Folks, you won't come across a better deal like this for a LONG time. It's practically giving you money with all the free software and credits, and even a complete newcomer should be able to take advantage of this -- they even have some great website editors built in with no html required.

If you're looking for a hosting account, or even if you already have one, I'd highly recommend checking out this deal from 1and1 before it ends. For most people, I'd recommend the Home or Business package, each of which comes with free domain names (3 in the case of the business package). Both are insanely cheap even without this special.

I previously reviewed 1and1 and highly recommend them, so this opportunity I really wanted to point out.

Outsourcing? Consider this...

So many people these days are going to the big freelance sites where you can hire programmers, designers, writers, etc. often for fairly cheap. Even though there's nothing wrong with this (I've even used some myself), it can be very hard to find quality workers at times. On top of that, some people there tend to just steal your ideas and make it for themselves. I've even seen people talking about doing that as a strategy...

Here's something else you should think about -- your local talent! Even though newspaper ads are often very cheap, you could check your local university's website to see if they offer free classifieds. Most do, especially for job-related ads, as it serves as a useful resource for their students. Here's the thing -- if you take out a simple ad at such a place, not only will you attract talented students (where speaking English isn't a problem), but you might also attract some older talent who are just looking to make a few extra bucks.

Not only are they often fairly cheap, as they're usually just looking to make a little extra dough, but you run virtually no risk of them stealing your idea (the best idea is worthless unless it's marketed well, and most programmers aren't marketers). In fact, you can often even work it out so you pay them later, or even after you start selling it! It doesn't get much better than this.

Keywords and Keyword Tools ... A Real Secret

There are tons of keyword finding tools out there. I plan on reviewing a few in the near future, but there is something that very few people truly understand. None of the keyword tools are 100% accurate. In fact, even ones by the search engines aren't even close to 100% accurate.

If you're trying to see how often a keyword is searched in a given month, use any data you get only as a rough "guess." It has been estimated in the past that nearly 50% of all the keyword searches don't show up in the tools out there. I'm guessing that it's realistically much higher than that.

So what does that mean for you? Well, it means to think about your own keywords and try to come up with some yourself. If you thought of the keyword phrases, chances are that others have or will too. I've used keywords before that all the tools out there tell me that they get no searches each month (funny how I searched for them the month prior by accident), yet I know that I get quite a few people coming to my site using those keywords ... and some are very profitable.

So sure, use some of the tools out there, but also add your own. If everyone out there is using the same set of keyword tools, you can come across a gold mine by using some of your own as well that don't show up on those tools.
