Take a Piece of the $40 Billion Per Year Industry
By the way, there are actually two sides to this. Some people will prefer looking for a profitable niche first before looking for a product that they will promote. The second group of people will find a product first then followed by focusing on the niche that will be interested in buying their chosen product.
There’s a good statement that choosing the niche first is beneficial because ultimately it’s the people who are going to buy. Without the customers then you don’t have any business. In my opinion, it’s your choice on where do you want to start but I believe you can’t go wrong with either of the approaches.
I Want You to Steal My Campaign
What I really wanted to share with you is how I found a niche while I was away from my computer. Eventually I would like you to build a campaign out of this niche because I don’t really have enough time to crank out this one.
We were watching a TV program and it featured how people are really involved into taking care of their dogs. The pet industry is also one of those profitable niches that you can get into. It’s a 40 billion dollar per year industry so this is a very good sign that people are spending money to take care of their pets.
Anyway, one of the things that they featured on the show was dental scaling for dogs. Right off the bat I know have a keyword… “dental scaling”.
I don’t really use any keyword tools but I’ve bought some of them in the past but eventually returned them all. Right now I’m just using the most powerful keyword tool… which is the BRAIN!
So I plugged in the keyword ‘dental scaling’ in the Google search bar to get some ideas. One term that really caught my attention was ‘dental scaling tool for dogs’. I was so excited with this term that I was eager to start a campaign even if it’s already 1am in the morning.
Why Did I Get Excited?
One of the best ways to make money online and get some traffic is by targeting long tail keywords. The keyword ‘dental scaling’ is too broad and the competition is going to be tough to crack. Besides you won’t even know what specific thing the reader is looking for with that term.
But if the keyword ‘dental scaling tool for dogs’ is not specific enough then I don’t really know what is. You also have to take note that this term came out from Google Suggestions which means that people are indeed searching for this term.
For this one we’re going to use Amazon for the affiliate program. One thing that I don’t like with Amazon is their low commissions but there’s a potential that a visitor will also check out some related or unrelated stuff. Maybe they want to get some of the plaque remover for their dogs or buy some of those dog collars. The possibilities are just endless and it all boils down to how you think.
So Here’s The Action Plan
- Register the domain name dentalscalingtoolfordogs.com. If you like you can just create a Squidoo lens or a Hubpage.
- Write a quality content about dental scaling tool for dogs and make sure that it’s around 500 words so you’ll have better chances of ranking in search engines.
- Also remember to put in your affiliate links inside your article so you can earn some commissions (duh!).
- Build some backlinks to your money page by writing articles and use your main keyword as your anchor text. If you don’t want to write articles for backlinks then I guess you can social bookmark it or something. There are many ways to get backlinks but writing articles is one of the most effective ways to do it.
That’s basically it folks. I believe this is going to be a profitable campaign because there are even more ways that you can monetize it. You can slap some Adsense on it or maybe flip the site for a nice lump sum when you’re receiving some consistent traffic from it.
I think I’m gonna be sharing more of my ideas because I don’t like to see them wasted. As you can see, the niches are all around us if you just take a closer look. I sure hope that you’ve learned something of value in this post and if ever you have any questions, feel free to comment below.
Thats a great idea Raymond!
Television is also a great way to find niches. I’m into the gaming industry and looking for niches, my past affiliate wasn’t so good. I couldn’t write any squidoo lens for it since it was part of the squid don’ts.
Its true that the pet industry is big! as in big! I am an example of that. My family spends alot of money on our pet german shepherd. He is registered and has a great linage therefore we take care of him.
His food alone is more expensive than my breakfast, lunch and dinner put together! haha
This is a great niche and I know you’ll do great in it. Keep us updated on how that campaign goes! =)
Good luck!
Hi Marco,
Thanks for your comment. I think I won’t have any time to set this one up. That’s why I wanted to share this and hope that someone would take the idea and build something out of it.
Hi Raymond. Good post. I like the idea but as I am in another niche and I haven’t mastered that one yet I won’t be able to take advantage of this good idea. I like how you explained how you came up with the dog scaling niche idea. I am in teeth whitening and am still trying to promote my site, but at some point I was thinking of maybe broadening it to include oral hygiene for pets too.
You are right about the articles helping generate valuable backlinks. I am still using this to help me with my site.
How do you do it with social bookmarking? This is something I am having real trouble with as there are too many sites and it all seems confusing. Are there sites you can use where you don’t need followers?
Good idea, and specific enough, too, I think! Pets are a hungry, evergreen market, for sure!
I didn’t realize that Wealthy Affiliate is offering free tutorials – that’s another good idea! Glad to hear you’re so busy you are turning away niches! Good deal!

@Chris: Honestly I don’t incorporate social bookmarking into my linkbuilding strategies. I bought Bookmarking Demon when I started out but I didn’t have a clue how to use it. That’s why I returned it. hahaha. I mainly use articles to help me with the backlinks.
@Gabriella: Honestly, I’m just plain old lazy. hahaha. But seriously, I didn’t get into Internet marketing just to work for 12 hours a day but I think about IM 24/7. Focus on tasks that will have the maximum output.
Thanks for the tip Raymond. That really helps. I will take note. Keep up the good work especially when it comes to reviews like you did on the Turbo profit Sniper.
Building capital on the net can be the way to go years ago. No matter whether if it’s online marketing, affiliate marketing, running a blog, article writing, or pay per click traffic it is greater to start out now then never.
