Today I was reading new article on ShoeMoney.com called “How To Build (And Monetize) Twitter Content Channels ”
is it a really good post with many ideas,, but the first tip in the post just captured my attention,, its about finding profiltable niche for twitter and how important is that

Why finding good niche is important??
as blogs choosing good profitable niches is very important to make real money on twitter,there are alot of people who are doing their best with there twitter accounts, and applying every good tip but not getting the profit they expect.
And actually it doesn’t mean that they are missing something in the process… but there may not following a niche that people are willing to spend money on

How to find money niche for your twitter account???
well, twitter search engine is always your best friend
search with your niche keywords for needs, problems, buying decisions… and the last one is great to find

people are tweeting for advices … which phone to buy??? where to go for nice cup of coffee??? if you find stuff like that in your niche then this will be great indication that you are going in the right direction
if not … then you have to find other niche to follow

Share your Experiences, adding Valued Content
once you find your right niche, start to add valued content, and my tip for you is to “Share your Experience NOT your Information”
always remember that the main purpose of twitter is to share life experiences and activities… not to be an information channel

anyway, providing “solid” tips, information and links is a good thing to do … but providing these tips in form of personal experience will make your tweet more natural and friendly, your followers will really like it and will share there experiences with you, and this is very important in making relationships
over the time they will trust you, take you as there friend… there problem solver … and service provider

Get Targeted Followers and build relationships
finding targeted followers, people who are interested in your niche is a very critical thing in this process

more targeted followers = more business opportunities

you may think of twitter as a mailing list.. but much better because you can choose your list members

there are too many ways to find targeted followers,,,
- twitter search engine
- using automated application like twollo.com as I discuss it in earlier post
- searching in the Bio section with twitter.grader.com

and what ever the method you will take to get these followers the only way to keep them and attract more is to build a personal relationship with them by:

• - asking questions, opening discussions
• - share your experiences and daily activities
• - answer there questions and solve there problems
• - ReTweet there tweets, they will appreciate that you spread there word

Now it is your turn to apply your money niche process
- Find Money Niche
- Share your Experiences adding Valued Content
- Get Targeted Followers and build relationships

- Start Doing Business

No matter. Evolve or die! They won’t send you 5,000 uniques in an hour, but the traffic they do send is more likely to subscribe to your RSS feed, because their members have already identified themselves as part of your niche’s tribe. (And it’s a more targeted tribe than the “gamer wanker” at Digg, or “Politico smartass” at Reddit.)

It’s a good bet that nearly every linkbait you publish would fit in at at least one of the above sites, so I recommend making ‘niche social media submission’ part of your regular launch to-do list. Just like ol’ fashioned link begging, it’s a great tactic to hedge against the power of the Bury Brigade at Digg. (Save yourself time: Go sign up and get an identical username and password for each site, and then bookmark this page  )

I expect that in a year from now there will be a few hundred niche social media sites with a critical mass of users. Let’s hope so, baiting Digg ain’t good for the old ticker

p.s. a message to all you muppets rolling your eyes and saying “great now the SEOs can spam the niche sites, too!”: an SEO submitting to (even spamming!) your social media site is a good sign. Just figure out how to make the community self policing and work through the growing pains.

The links appear below videos from participating partners (such as this perennial classic from OK Go):

And Google says there’s lots more to come:

This is just the beginning of building a broad, viable e-commerce platform for users and partners on YouTube. Our vision is to help partners across all industries — from music, to film, to print, to TV — offer useful and relevant products to a large, yet targeted audience, and generate additional revenue from their content on YouTube beyond the advertising we serve against their videos.

The beginning looks like a good move with music and video game downloads, since these are established download arenas. Print, though, might be a bit more of a leap, unless we’re talking soft copies.

The click-to-buy program will be available to YouTube partners who use their content identification and management system—including on original UGC. You just have to use Content ID to claim the videos and leave them up on the site.

RWW says that music owners will also be able to put the click-to-buy links under UGC that uses their music without permission. (I doubt that the content producers would get a cut in that agreement.) But wouldn’t that mean, then, that they were granting permission at least tacitly?

The internet is fast becoming a “cesspool” where false information thrives, Google CEO Eric Schmidt said yesterday. Speaking with an audience of magazine executives visiting the Google campus here as part of their annual industry conference, he said their brands were increasingly important signals that content can be trusted.

“Brands are the solution, not the problem,” Mr. Schmidt said. “Brands are how you sort out the cesspool.”

“Brand affinity is clearly hard wired,” he said. “It is so fundamental to human existence that it’s not going away. It must have a genetic component.”

The key to understanding the above is to appreciate that not only do the large brands have more money and more exposure, but they are less likely to be policed if they do the same thing that a smaller webmaster does. It is why a billion dollar company’s affiliate program passes PageRank and my affiliate links do not.

Simply put, big brands should spam. Smart people like you, who read the algorithms as a profession, already knew this, but a large segment of publishers think search is mostly trickery and voodoo.

Build a brand and buy links. If your brand is big enough you most likely will not get policed out of the search results. It has been that way for years. If only the AdWords support team or Matt Cutts spoke with Mr. Schmidt’s level of clarity!

There are some basic requirements for all types of information products. Things you have to get right. They might seem obvious, but many people still get them wrong.

——- THINGS YOU HAVE TO GET RIGHT – 1 – DEMAND
Create a product that people want. Creating a demand for your widget is difficult and time-consuming. Selling something for which the demand already exists is a snap.
You shouldn’t have to convince buyers that they need it. They should know that they need it.

——- THINGS YOU HAVE TO GET RIGHT – 2 – QUALITY
There is only one kind of product: High quality products. If the quality is not beyond question, then we call it a scam. We’re all in Internet business for the money and the fun. Selling good products makes more money and it is more fun.

——- THINGS YOU HAVE TO GET RIGHT – 3 – PRESENTATION
Bad presentation: One of the biggest sale-busters in the world of information products. If it looks like an half-baked attempt at writing your own ebook, it won’t sell. No matter how good it is. Get a real logo and get a pro to help you create a unique, powerful cover image. This really matters. If you need a place to start, check out our graphic design services.

——- THINGS YOU HAVE TO GET RIGHT – 4 – REPEAT BUSINESS
Information products are usually not very expensive. Most cost $20 or less, so to build a reliable, long-term business through information products, you have to get your customers to come back for more. Keep this in mind when you create your information product and structure it so that follow-ups / upgrades / updates of it can be offered. Product quality comes into it again. Blow them away and they will come back for more.

——- THINGS YOU HAVE TO GET RIGHT – 5 – LEGAL ISSUES
Don’t lose it all because you violated a trademark. Did you know that you can not always show a logo like that of Google in your information product without written concent? You should also run a trademark check on the title of your information product. Try http://nameprotect.com

Now, here are the three steps to building that killer product:

——- STEP – 1 – RESEARCH
What do people want? Find demand. Just because you have the sales skills to sell ice cubes to eskimos does not mean you have to. Think what you could do with your sales skills and ice cubes in Jamaica! Yaa Maan!
Market research is boring, I know, but it will make everything else easier, more fun and more profitable. Here is a good article on Internet market research.

——- STEP – 2 – FORMAT
We discussed types of information products on the previous page. Now decide which one of those is the best format for your kind of information product.

——- STEP – 3 – CREATE
Now it’s time to compile your knowledge into an attractive, easy-reading package. Look at as many examples as possible before you begin – learn from the mistakes and successes that are already out there.

Think you can’t create anything valuable enough?

We all have skills. No matter how unimportant or obvious they may seem to you, I’d bet there are people out there who could really benefit from what you know.

It doesn’t matter if you’re into cooking or cloaking. There are people who need what you have in your head. Get it on paper and sell it. You won’t know if it’ll work if you don’t try.

HOW TO SELL INFORMATION PRODUCTS

The easiest way to sell information products is to give it away.

O.k. – don’t hit that back-button just yet. Let me explain.

There are many ways to make money on the Net. We’re giving “The Mother of all Search Engine Reference Books” away for free. That and the free tutorials like this one drives traffic to our site – which means that we have a chance to show people the Pandecta logo and tell them about our magazine.

Apart from that, the advertisements in our book are paid for or are of products from companies that we are affiliated to.

The bottom line is that people won’t visit your site until you get it under their noses. Free information products get your site under their noses.

But you’re going to insist on selling your information product, aren’t you?

Well allright then. Here’s how:

CREATE TRUST

Shopping on the Internet is fast, convenient and easy – so why don’t people buy on the Internet?

Yes, they don’t trust you. You have to give them a reason to trust you.

I can’t overemphasize this. You don’t trust every Net vendor, because there’s always a chance that they are scamming you. You buy from the ones that managed to convince you to trust them. Do the same for your customers and the will buy from you.

How to create trust:

• Testimonials – Publish reader comments right on your web site. It’s more believable if you add the name of the person – even better if you add the e-mail address of that person, but use names and e-mail addresses only with persmission.
• Free downloads – Free trials show that you have supreme confidence in your product. Even if they don’t download it, it shows that you are serious about delivering benefits – not just trying to make a quick buck. Take a look at the free evaluation issue of Pandecta Magazine.
• Money-back guarantee – If they don’t like your information product, they’ll hit you with charge-backs, so you might as well offer a money-back guarantee. It shows them that you won’t put up a fight if they’re unhappy and want a refund.

SELL BENEFITS

No bells and whistles. Keep the sales copy on your site as short and to the point as possible. Tell them how this information product will enhance their lives.

No technical specs. No company mission statements.

Just tell your visitor about the benefits of the product like you would tell a friend over a cup of coffee.

Take a look at our copywriting tutorial to find out what the 10 golden rules are for writing sales copy specifically for the Internet.

____________________________________
T-H-E—-B-O-T-T-O-M—-L-I-N-E

Create an information product that you are proud of. The kind of thing you would buy for the price you’re asking. That makes selling it a pleasure, because you’ll believe yourself when you tell your customer how it will enhance her life.

Perhaps the most sought after copywriting on the web is SEO copywriting. SEO is an acronym for search engine optimized content. This simply means that your article has been embellished with keywords that the search engines, such as Lycos or Google will find very friendly.

Unfortunately a lot of SEO copywriting is not very easy for people to read. That is because most people think that the key word has to be repeated ad nauseum in order for it to rise to the top of the search engines. The repetition of a keyword phrase can help your search engine rankings but reading unfriendly garbled copy that is ridden with too many of the same words can make the every day visitor to your site think you are an idiot that knows absolutely nothing about grammar or spelling.

Remember that the goal of effective SEO writing is to not only to improve your searchability and search engine rankings but also to read the copy so they can be lead to the goods or services that you have to sell on your web site. The last thing you want your carefully crafted SEO paragraph to do is lead the visitor’s mouse to click and close your web page. However this is precisely what happens when people find a badly written SEO paragraph that is a tad too heavy with the keywords. To put it succinctly, a hard sell is a turn off because it makes you look desperate for business.

The key is to find a happy balance between copywriting for people and copywriting for the search engines. Here are some tips to writing more effective SEO copy.

Use About three different keywords per page – Notice this is about using keyword phrases (a couple of words that someone might type into a search engine) not just a single word. This can help the search engine spiders drive target customers to your site, as opposed to just people who are pinging your hit counter in frustration.

Don’t write less than 250 words- When it comes to copy for search engine optimization it is important to be as concise and to the point as possible. However it is possible for an SEO article to be too short.  People are very, very irritated when they search for some time for a focused subject only to be led to the same vague plagiarized definition over and over. If you need to write longer SEO copy in order to get your point then divide it into seperate sections or pages.

Be subtle about the use your keywords- Your keywords should not dominate or overload the piece. Try to write in grade six level conversational language. If you are really stuck and you are writing these yourself, then try writing the way you talk and then incorporating the keywords into the copy. Supreme search engine optimized copy never sounds like the sentence was built to accommodate the keyword. Keywords that are too obtrusive or omnipresent are a turn off for everything human that can read. Even if the search engine spiders find them friendly, lousy, forced sounding content is only going to have your visitor clicking the little X at the right hand corner of the browser window after they have decided your writing is incomprehensible.

If you can try to use keyword phrases in headlines, titles and sub titles. There is no point to trying to do this if the keyword phrase that you are trying to incorporate completely ruins the title of your article. Never use a keyword in a title if it turns it into something nonsensical.  Your best bet is to try to keep the title a complete sentence well at the same time trying to capture the gist by using one or two well chosen, high ranking keywords.

Use keywords in the first sentence, last sentence and at least once in each paragraph. This is a rule that many professional SEO copywriters follow in attempt to make their technical writing sound more like “natural language.”  Natural language is a term that SEO copywriters use to describe the process of having to transform spider engine food into something that is understood by humans.

Use keywords as part of bolded, italicized or Bulleted Lists. This type of treatment can help highlight the words or phrases, not only to the reader, but also for the search engine. In terms of people, this type of layout is supposed to perform a bit of subliminal seduction when it comes to them retaining the memory of what your site is supposed to be all about in the first place.

Avoid using focused keyword phrases when a more general term is required. Not every generic phrase that you see is an open call to insert a keyword phrase. For example, try to avoid writing “search engine optimized business opportunities” instead of the word “opportunities” if you can help it. Trying to fit several keywords into a sentence structure that only requires one word makes your copy sound stiff and stilted.

Also avoid using the same keyword phrase several times in a paragraph if you can. An example would be “You can become a free affiliate banner user by registering for free affiliate banner programs that are run by a free affiliate banner network also known as a free affiliate banner network.”

In conclusion the only sure way to test your keyword optimized search engine friendly copywriting is to test it by posting it and then searching for it in an engine such as Google or Overture. If type in the keyword phrase and it turns up, then you have done an excellent job as at SEO copywriting.
