TRUE OR FALSE

COOL NAME AND OF COURSE ITS FALSE; ITS THE OTHER WAY AROUND::::

I am starting a niche affiliate marketing service.

I allow both affiliates and merchants to join for free.

I intend to charge the merchants a % per completed transaction.

What do you think would be a fair percentage?

Look at Ebay’s fees. You can also look at what companies pay affiliates like what does Amazon pay when someone buys a book thru an affiliate.

I think you need a profitable niche to promote online!
if so, you can get lots of niches discussed here at http://www.onlinemoneyguild.com/viewforum.php?f=34 Hope this will be useful to you!

Would it be very dificult to build a site similar to Yaoo Answers for a much more specific market group? People in a specific area or with a specific type of knowledge? What tools would be necessary and what level of coding would be required?

If you are a programmer then no, it would not be too hard. I would check http://www.opensourcecms.com/ to select the best CMS to do the task.

I like Joomla!, and I am sure you could build a very decent site with it. WordPress could also be an alternative, I think, with an appropriate plug-in (you could even try to build your own!)

I’m thinking about something popular,maybe golf or fishing. Everyday people would be involved.Not something they need, but what they want.

find what people want now
see what keywords are used for:

I was wondering if you website browsers are fully satisfied with what is on the WWW market, or is there anything new you’d like to see on the internet? For e.g. any new ideas for a website/ any features you dont like about existing websites/ any features you’d like to see in a website like bebo or myspace.

I’d like wikipedia or a site that rebroadcasts wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo_answers to automatically create test of whatever the article is about

like http://www.halfbakery.com/idea/wikipedia_20autogenerates_20a_20comprehension_20test_20with_20each_20article

Example: I want to market an ebook on supertips about in affilaiate marketing, no specific type of affiliate marketing.

You could be more successful by doing market research into your potential target niche markets. If you research the market niches that seem best, to find out what the people in each niche are thinking, you then know which niche is best and what to write.

In other words, don’t write your ebook first and then try to find a niche market to try to sell it into. Instead, first find the niche market that’s best for you to write for (fewest competitors, best keywords, enough market size, topics you understand, best info on what people are thinking, etc., etc.) – only then do you write your ebook, specifically talking to exactly what the members of that market are thinking.

To sell online you need to find out what people want and then deliver it better than your competition does.

You may think you know what to write for affiliates, but you’ll do better if you get real insight into their needs and desires and address those directly in your writing.

So how do you do this market research?
Find out affiliate’s needs, fears, frustrations, desires and other motivations by:
1. Reading their forum posts. After you find a few with certain "need words", do a forum search to find more of those and dig deeper.

2. Just ask in affiliate forums what people’s biggest problems and frustrations with affiliate marketing are. You might be surprised how much you can learn by just asking.

3. Make a fast one-page blog and put a survey on it, asking affiliates what their biggest problem is. After you get 300-400 responses, you’ll have a decent statistical sample and can stop advertising it. Advertise your survey blog on affiliate forums and (by far the best yet if you can afford it), with Google AdWords PPC. PPC can be very expensive long-term, but you only need to get 300 responses, then you can pause or delete your PPC campaign. Use an online survey service to setup your survey and to track your results in their database.

3. A bit of online searching for more free or inexpensive online market research methods will turn up more good ideas.

Hope this helped…

A niche market is a very small and specific market to aim a product at eg. Mothers buy nappies, vegetarians buy tofu, gothic teenagers buy Nine Inch Nail cds.
This is apposed to a mass market, which is aimed at everyone, such as McDonalds and Coca Cola, which most people consume

In trying to measure website effectiveness, what’s a healthy number of unique visitors per month for a small business-to-business, niche market website?

You use month-to-month, or day-to-day tracking. There isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ number you can use. All businesses have different metrics and it takes accurate tracking to get them.

The way to do it is take whichever way you are going to measure, daily or monthly and use the first day/month as your base-line number.

Let’s say day one you received 10 unique visitors. That’s your base-line to track what your numbers are over a period of say a month. Tracking using your baseline number let’s you see if a specific day of the week, time of the day, etc. brings more traffic.

While you’re at it, you’ll also be tracking the advertising you’re using to get the traffic.

Most marketers use a monthly metric because it’s not as tedious as doing this every day – unless you are really bored.

Knowing what marketing tactics are bringing you the traffic, which sources are bringing targeted traffic and which aren’t is also a part of it.

Have fun.
