I was watching your ‘Steal this Niche’ series and you actually inspired me to purchase Market Samurai.
You got me all revved up with your blog.
I visit back here every day & am missing you….haven’t seen a post for a while. Maybe you’re on Twitter….that’s new to me at the moment (unchartered territotory) but i’m going to dare it & see what the Twitter phenomena is all about.
Hope everything’s okay, David (U.K.)

I’m already in this niche. I wondered where all the Hubpages etc. suddenly came from, thanks Michelle!

Should say though, the ebook isn’t the best converting product in the world.

Michelle, I’ll let you off because you’re good looking.

The Dude out.

Classic to see the Market Samurai results now only 11 days after you posted this video. The chicken coop niche will never be the same again.

Well worth watching a few more times

I loved this video. You’ve persuaded me to join Crowd Mountain. See you on the other side!

Thanks

I’m not going to poach this niche, but I love the techniques and tools.

Thanks Michelle,
Tony

I don’t want to speak for Michelle — but look at it this way. The product pays $20 per sale and has a decent gravity, so it is not a total dud. Let’s use some very conservative numbers and check it out…

Say the sales page converts at 2% and you have a CTR on your affiliate site of 10%. That means that you will make 2 sales for every thousand visitors get.

Now lets say you target 3 or 4 keywords for your site with a total search volume combined of 10,000/month. If you get to #1 for each KW, maybe you can get 30% CRT (research says 40%). Michelle already showed this was possible.

That’s 3000 visitors per/month converting for 6 sales per month. Not bad, but just a start.

Once you have that going, you are way past break-even if you paid $10 for a domain and $100 for some content.

Then you can offer some free chicken coup ecourse and add a opt-in to get conversions up because you will mention the eBook in every mailer.

And, if you add analytics, you can see which SERP KWs are converting and start PPC for those.

And, did you know that there are chicken coops for sale on eBay for $800? I personally had no idea — but it is true. So you can sell those too through EPN against a more keywords getting more traffic.

So, sure. You cannot retire on a 3 page site about chicken coops. But my site is already up and testing in the time that it took us to debate this.

If it fails, I’ll sell it on sitepoint and get most (or all) of my money back.

Best of all, it’s a hell of a lot of fun, and Michelle is cool.

Just a thought.

Congrats on the new office. I work from home and JUST (as in not ten minutes ago) finished setting up my office at home with new desk and bookshelf furniture. For now, I’m happy to just park the kids in front of the Wii and let them burn off energy playing Wii Tennis while they stay out of my hair ; )

Completely off topic, but I like the new look to the site. Within the last week I also purchased the ‘Thesis’ theme. I love the clean look of it. The only thing I wish it did was make it easy to change colors (perhaps that will be coming in an update).
