In order to find a good dropship niche and keywords to go with your dropship niche, I encourage you to brainstorm ideas. Don’t discount any idea; the perfect dropship niche may come to mind at any moment. Don’t toss any ideas away unless you’ve given them some very good thought and proven that they will not work.
Are you passionate about your dropship niche ideas, if not, get passionate about them. It is so much easier to sell a product that you are passionate about. It also makes it easier to market that product if you already know about it. For example, when writing articles for article marketing, it really does help to have a background knowledge of the subject matter. Passion is important and even though you don’t have to be passionate about what you’re selling, it helps considerably when it comes to marketing the product and customer service. If a customer has a question about a product, you will be much better equipped to answer if you already know quite a bit about the product and how it works.
Make sure that your chosen dropship niche is not over-saturated. You can do this by opening up the Google Adwords Keyword Tool. Type your product into the search box and then click on “get keyword ideas”. When the results pop up change the match type to exact and then find the keyword you selected. Now look under global searches per month; does the keyword or keyword phrase have 1,000 searches or higher? If yes, go on to check out the competition. To do that, open up a new Internet browser and then type in the selected product or keywords exactly how you typed them in the keyword tool. By doing this, you can find out approximately how much competition your product has. Look up in the right hand corner of your browser and see how many results there are for that keyword phrase. Make sure that the results are under five million. If you find that any of these guidelines are not fulfilled, for your own sake, find another keyword to try. You can still try to rank for the keyword with more than five million, but please realize that it’s going to be much more difficult and most likely take a lot more time.
When you type in your keyword or keyword phrase you want to find out what the page ranks are of the top four results on the page. If the page ranks are three or lower, you have found yourself an ideal keyword or keyword phrase. Look at the domain names of the sites. If the sites are well-known and you know they must get a lot of traffic you may want to try changing your keyword or keyword phrase a little bit.
Finding the perfect dropship niche for you can be very difficult and sometimes you learn that you need to settle for something second or third best. Perhaps you know nothing about the product in question but you know it will bring you a great profit. That’s great! The down side, however; is that marketing may be a little more difficult for you, having no foreknowledge of the product you are trying to sell.
